STATUTE
To the Killtor:
Under the OreKon (iy.stem it ii
hard to ffct men cjf mcanH, who are
more than usually competent tu
direct pulillc affairs, to Kive up
private lift; for the public Koil
11 ml flccept office, whereaH, cheap
ail vent ureiH, who want notoriety
with a ho I11 ry beyond that which
tlicy are competent to enrn In pri
vate life, rush Into the arena,
ahu.se everybody who huM held the
office thvy covet and shout how
they will liberate the poor citizens
of an unfortunate state. ' '
At rare intervals a man of
wealth, who has shown IiIh ability
as a director of Important affairs,
reluctantly announces hit candi
dacy for an office, but, because he
is not a dotnaKOtfui1. which neans
a politician, people often reject
him and vote for the fellow who
shouts the loudest, then rupi4it,
but next time they do tho same
thiiiR over and wonder why taxes
are so IiIkIi.
Such is the present condition.
Demagogues are In ihe field, but
not all are such. J lurry Corbet t
represents the best type of Amer
ican citizenship and' Is neither a
hlKh brow nop an adventurer. ' I
know him, knew both his parents
and his grandfathers. He was born
in Oregon, has livcd here till his
life and has the confidence of all
with whom he has had dealings,
because he treatt their affairs as ho
would treat ii.-d-own, that Is, with
marked ability and good ' fellow
ship. He, loves Oregon and will
give It the bent he possesses In ser
vice. JIo belongs to no- political
clliUO and never did. Ho Is not
that kind. Ho. would prefer to
lose the governorship than to win
It by crooked politics, lf olecfed,
as 1 Jiopc ho will be,; ho .will be a
credit to the state nnd beloved of
Its citizens, regardless of political
convictions. ' i ,
I just want to say to my friends
In southern Oregon, you will make
no mistake by voting for Harry
Cm-belt. If you can meet him, do
so, and you will meet a gentleman,
whom you will appreciate. Vote
for him. WILL, O. HTKHL.

"Hlinll the Court, House for Jackson County, Orcyon, he constructed on tlie following described
property: Block Number One (1) of Galloway's addition to the city of Medt'ord, Jackson
county, Orogou, sometimes known as tho Washington School Site.". , . , . , , ,
302 Yes I vote for the Washington School Site
The Washington School Block was
is
by
BEST AVAILABLE SITE as
1 It is eisily accessible from all directions. -
2 The block is sufficiently large for present and future needs.
3 There is an abundance of majestic trees already on the site, and on the library
grounds and city park adjoining, making the landscaping easier.
4 The site is in the heart of the most beautiful uptown section to be found in any'
city in Oregon.'
5 There is an abundance of parking space around the block.
6 The site is sufficiently far away from the railroad that court and other county of-
ficers will never be interfered with because of noise.
7 Surrounded by residences, parks, city library, public buildings and churches-there
will never be any danger from smoke or industrial center activities.
8 The site is not in the restricted parking district; BUT IS TWO BLOCKS BE
YOND ANY PARKING RESTRICTIONS. :
9 Medford school board favors the sale of this site to the city of Medford at a rea
sonable price, which approves its purchase, for the court house site.
The selection of a Court House site was left to the County
Court, which, after, many months of careful study and in
vestigation, selected the Washington School site.
Support the County Court
with your vote for the Washington School site
302 Yes' I vote for the Washington School Site
First, however, you must approve the expenditure of
$260,000 by the Jackson County Court for this new Jack
.son County Court House.
Jackson county now lias .t-(0,000 set aside for the purpose of constructing this new court house
in Medford.
The construction of the court house will not cost you one penny in taxes, if the court house is
built while this fund is available.
If construction were to be postponed, and the $260,000 used for other purposes, taxes would have
to be levied and the construction would have to be paid for out of your pocket.
Medford is bound fo furnish the present building free of rent for the use of the county govern
ment offices FOR ONLY FIVE YEARS which will expire in Julv, 19:i2. Thereafter, the
county would be justly obligated to pay rent to the city of Medford 'on tlie building and since
The county is nqw getting only '2 per cent interest on this $200,000 fund, the charge for rental
after the expiration of the five years would he more than the interest derived from the
2(i0,000. . . , . . .
If the expenditure of this fund were not approved at the May 16th election, the county court
niiuht feel obligated to use this fund for oilier purposes, instead of allowing to remain idle,
which would make it necessary to levy taxes on all property for a SPI0C1AL FUND to con
struct a new court house and to pay rent to the city of Meilford during the interim after
July, 1!):!2. o
Thus, Save Yourself from Paying More Taxes o
