'' KroincriinmuriieatjoiiH received IVy"' this paper, it appears, tlicre in a widespread impression, that a vote for tliis needed iniproveiileht,' means a vote for tho proposal to make water users -pay the oost. ' ' ' This, :of course, is' untriio. There will be two propositions on the lllnt. One, whethetf pr not tho jwiplc of Medford want a sewaKC disposal plant. The other, whether they wish the cost of that plant to be borne by the water iison), !or by the taxpayers as a whole.' i3;, ' : '. '". ' '.' - :' ' ''' - iK '" ''" .';'" - -.' IJi 1EW of 4lic. present situation, innd the city's recent expert ; ence during tlie heavy rain, wo believe the necessity of a sew, ajre disposal plant, and the construction of a now trunk sewer, is geuefaUy conceded. . . . " ' But there is no such unanimity of opinion, regarding the pro ppsal to depart from tho well established practice of making tho ost of such an improvement a char(:e uimiii all taxable property, and confining it exclusively to water users. . AT FIRST blush vrc were inclined, to'favor the latter, plan, , bocaiiSQ it placed fhe cost of sewer construction directly and exclusively upon tho users, eliminated any increase in the property tax, and provided an easy and rather painless method q( gllectToiY, and retirement of the sewer debt. ' ' Hut the more we have investigated the proposal, and the more we have studied tho experience other cities have had with it, the less enthusiastic wo have become. ' '"t 't .: " In larger cities, particularly industrial centers, the water tax plan liiis important advantages, but in a city liko Medford, mainly residential, the extra clerical expense involved, we fear, would not bo justified. , nro.'RRR is another objection. The wfiter .tax, plan would not only .relieve, many of the largest property owners of thqir just share of tho cost, but would also place no charge upon va cant property. This we believe would bo entirely unfair.-.

' In other words, thero aro two distinct proposals- on tho bal lot, one entirely separate from tho other, and1 as tho campaign progresses, it is highly important, that the people of tho city keep this i important fact in' mind.

Respectfully yours,- Note that every paragraph In our friend's letter begins with the first personal pronoun. That Is quite all right from the literary point of view nnd I defy anybody to say why it Isn't. Itut It Is rather significant In thle particular Instance, of n truth which I have uttered hero now and again about "nervous" people not that I like1 to hurt them, but merely that I hope It may help somo of them. The truth Is that such people are selfish, too self-centered. It Is one thing to explain one's Mioi't-comings away by pleading "nervous temperament. No great ham In that, except that It tends to -make you harder for honest folk to got along with; sometimes It Is good for your oul to acknowledge your fault nnd take full responsibil ity for It and try tq behave your self better next time.

"You know almost everything, in tho World, Llttlo Hlak Clcok. 'Uutj I probably konw more about ba bies than you do nnd how old they might be." Tho Little Black Clock said again, smiling ns ho did so, "She is a year old." And the mother nodded nnd spoke Chinese words, which be cause of tho Clock's magic they could understand: "Most honorable little lady, my wee orange blossom baby is a year old. Peggy simply couldn't under stand it at nIK and then tho Little Black Clock explained: "As soon, as a girl is born In Chlnn, on her very first day In the world, they apeak of her as being ono year old, so a Chinese girl is nhvays a year younger, according to tho way wo figure, than she says she Is. "This baby Is only In the world ft little, little while, and you were quite right about guessing her ac tual nge, Peggy, but, according to Chinese custom, her firs day In the -world is considered her first birthday nnd they cnll her a year old."

Louise has- grown up hearing al ways from her mother's family ac counts of) her popularity, of her gay dancing days( of her many beaux. The house constantly is filled with her mother's friends, and even Lou ise's own friends always telling her what a lovely mother she has. ; Louise herself, while possessing a good mind and excellent practical abilities, is keenly- aware that she has neither beauty nor charm. At the age of sixteen she finds herself resentful of her all too charm I rur mother and depressed by tho feeling that she is A failure. Surh n situation Is not uncommon. Loving parents .4?,:M be quick to recognise -such a sltuat'on be fore. It becomes too - acute or un happy. - ... Louie's mother, for instance, would do well consciously to keep herself In the background, at least among her daughter's Erie n tie.

' She should be encouraged along lines whero her real abilities will count in her fnvor and where beauty and charm are of no spec lal moment. 1 The reality- of such a situation may be none too congenial, es peclally at flmt. but emulation of an impossible ideal nnd striving af ter what cannot be achieved Is a far more unhappy path in the long run. t Youth has neither time nor en mfcy to waste In finding a speedy adjustment between Its hopes and wishes and the satisfactions within its power to nchleve.

This was startling news'; I have lived on North Hlveralde ever Bince - the sewer' was -constructed . and now bear wItriMii that "raw sewage" . haa spourtd out of the mon-holea every time there haa been a' heavje tailri.

To my certain knowl edge threats ot this nature have been made for 16 years, but we have never yet been .sued. '-. : Why are tho city officials and tho state health board so sud denly agitated about - these con ditions? The answer manifestly is an attempt to coerce the peo ple of Medford to vote the pro-r -posed $235,000 bond Issue. NoSv let us admit that the sowerafce system of the city is sadly defec tive and inadequate, and that we need a better one. Should this fact force us. to-act prematurely? Many citizens are not satisfied with the - present plan, as an nounced by the city authorities. They do not agree with the Idea of charging the water lasers an additional $9 n year to' pay for this sewer system.' Under this scheme a small . b ft ha e owner would pay as much as the owner of a mansion. . Large . holdings t and estates which would be great ly enhanced la Value by. a new sewer system would escape pay ment of a Just share of the cost. I have in mind at least one cor poration with lar-ge holdings which it lenses to -various ten nnts. Under thla plan It would pay nothing, although the value of Its property would be largoly Increased. ; : It haai been the custom in this city, as haa been., the rule in mu nicipalities generally, to pay for sewers 'in bonds -Or warrants and rnuldntc them by" a -geriofaf tax.
