Writing lt Work
CHAPfcL, tllU. f. C June ' -
Cl'l") Tho theory that writing

M flteele, Chniiel Hill, noted short
story writer. "If 1 had to wait for
Inapirntlon, t'd probably never
write another line,-' Mteelo snid
' My conviction la that success In
wrlilng Is the product of pains
taking and contlnuoUH hard work."

MISREPRESENTING TH.
TIIERK sceuis to be a roiHapprehcnsiori' rfuarding the sewaye
disposal elVcfibn to' b'o'lield iiext 'm'ontli.
'' 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.-. Fo
asveryone 'knotv's when sower improvement Arc extended to
any district,- it enhances tho value of all property in that dis
triet, whether1 there-is a direct connection with the sewer, or
isn't. . ''-.. " " - .',.".;''".'; :
Further stiidy of the new plan niay reveal advantages, which
are noi yot apparent. Hut as wo view it j at best, the issue be
tween water and direct tax will bo -one of those' 5(1-50 proposi
tions, tho arguments for and against being approximately
equalized' -"' . .' - . .t -.'.. . ..t
THE point we wish to stress
. mnthrwl of nflviiiir fr thin
NOTIIINO TO DO WITH THIi IMPHOVKM-KNT ITSKLF.
If as wo believe they will a majority of the voters oppose
tho" new idea of tax payment, all they havo to do is VOTF,
AGAINST IT j and if as we also believe they will they ap
prove constructing a disposal plant and new trunk sewer, then
Ahh TI1KY HAVE TO DO IS VOTB FOR IT.
' 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. ' '

its importance as an unusual dramatic and musical event, and
tho propriety of Medford extending cnthusiastiq support.
Apparently Ashland has not the control over tho Weather
man, which Medford eujoyes (or wo'elaiiu it enjoys), for there
is no doubt that this unseasonable frigidity cut down tho at
tendance tho first night. ' ;
' lint with clear skies today and a prediction for fair and
warmer, there should bo record breaking crowds at the per
formances tonight and tomorrow, and wo again urgo the peo
ple of Medford to do their part in producing them.
THIS Passion Play will no sooner bo over, however, than Ash-,
land will start preparing for a rather different occasion,
but no less important ono-f tho stato Klks convention, starting
Hip last of tho month, - 1
The sumo need for urging support to our southern neighbor,
tw6 weeks heuee, does not exist, for Medford has not. only one
of the oldest and largest Hlk lodges In tho state, but one of the
most progressive and enthusiastic.

HOWEVER, as the Passion Play is not exclusively an Ashland
event, but. should interest nil Medford mid nil Jackson
County, so (he Elks convention

Therefore, it seems an opportune tituo to inform Ashland,
that if not only tho ELKS, but the PEOPLE of Medford, elm
do anything to make this convention tho most successful ever

Is that such people are selfish, too

It Is one thing to explain one's

YEAU-OFaD BAB
By Mniy Grahnnv Bonner
Peggy thought she was the'
dearest little .baby she had ever
seen. She was a baby girl and
was'-only attay dP
so old. . - -
John didn't
mind coming along
to seo thi s girl
bnby, because ho
knew that Peggy
adored little ba
bies.
The mother
did not seem to
mind Peggy's play-Ir.'
Ing with the baby
ind kissing her
running little face.
"She Is a year old smiled the"
Llttlo Black Clock. 3
"Oh, she can't be!'' said Peggy.
"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."
Peggy didn't mind how old they
cnlb'd her although she thought
It a funny Idea for she was such
a dear llttlo baby!"

Hustc Makes Waste..
; 'To 'tho Editor; '' ' ' ' ;' v , .'J'

npvspapeVs have just announced
that city officials hava dlscovereit
that "raw ? sewage. was' flowing
down Riverside avenue this fore
noon, spouting about., two. . feet
above the .man-holes . alqng,. the
street." 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. Tills
condition is due to wise engineer
ing; that Is, draining - the storm ,
water of a city Into ;aa ia-lnjh
tanitary sewer, ----.--
Other recent news items ' warn
us the city Is In grave- danger of
being sued by tho owners of prop
erty where the sewer disposal 'Is 1
situated. 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.
This is the only fair method
far devised. Tho proposed scheme
of charging water users Bo cenfcs
per month to; pay -on- aowar bondi
Is nn 'lin,lled-tpr J,mpcnlt!A)ll.
This would require collection, 'of;
$11, Instead of tho present &v
charge, every two months.
, The city .-council1 should recail
this plan and submit a bettor -f
one, otherwise the-peopW should,
turn out and vote It down by
nn overwhelming majority. '
Don't he stampeded by threats',
of hfnlth officers or law suits.
Such stuff Is propaganda Intend
ed to- drive you Into voting for
the bonds. Sewage conditions
aro no worse than- ther have bean
for many years. They ought.' to
he better since the officials an
nounced a' tow days ago that n
'chlnrlnatlon disposal plant hail
been Installed that Is coming the
city Jtno per month for Itj opera
tion. Was this chlorlna-Uoo plant
In operation when all the 'Taw
sewage" wn ball. -washed ,ovr
the streets and farms Bear th,o
septic tank? .j
Let's vot against air lion.li
until a'ralr'plnn Is ' suhmitted.
Vote nan I nit gang rule; vote Np
on the bonds. .
