FOR LAND PROVES
IRRIGATION LIEN
Statisticians at the courthouse
have compiled an Interesting and
Illuminative set of figures, upon the
tax situation In this county, show
ing that Irrigation llena are the chief
burden, borne by landowners not
the state and county tax, against
which the fire of reductionists has
been directed, alnce the depreaslon.
On a hypothetical farm of 83
teres, with a hypothetical value of
$3130, the general tax, under pres
ent levies amount to .81 cents;
state school tax. S1S.B1: state market
roads, 3.13; general oounty tax.
7JO; general county schools, 3038;
county library 63 cents; a p c I a 1
school 30.2B; special roads, 7 4B;
1 general roads, 3.12: county fair, 3
eenta; county market roads, W.74:
emergency fund. 1.3S. total of
8l.7.
The Irrigation lien tax on the same
hypothetical farm a m o u n,t to
467.80, six times the amount of the
oounty and state taxes.
The above figures were approved
by County Assessor J. B. Coleman,
as correct.

SHOUP IN FAVOR
OF EQUALIZATION
IF RATESBOOSTED
Espee President Here On
Fishing Trip, Also For
Curb on 'Short Selling'
Of Stocks In Economic
Unrest Periods.
Referring to the questllon of
special consideration of fruit ahlp
mente In event the fifteen per cent
freight rate Increase should be grant
ed the railroads by the Interstate
commerce commission, Paul 3houp,
president of the Southern Pacific
railway, stated here Saturday that tbe
rate should be modified to suit the
various Industries In a manner that
the burden be equalized. Long dis
tance hauling should be considered
he added.
It's a long rocky road we have to
travel, but In the end tt Is better to
have walked It than to have stood
still," he said, speaking of buelneaa
progress.
In times of such economic unrest,
there Is no doubt but that all short
selling should be eliminated on the
New York market," Mr. Shoup de
clared, and It Is evident that such
exciting of publlo feeling at the pres
ent la disastrous. He expressed the
belief that tbe ruling should not be
come permanent, as "during prosper
ous times It takes more than short
selling to check their optimism."
When asked his opinion of tne de
velopment of the Orescent City har
bor which would obviously cut down
on rail transportation, the president
said that he was In favor of any
thing "productive or constructive."
There has been, too much spending
of the publlo money lately which haa
not benefited the people as It should,
he declared.
Accompanying the railway presi
dent wbo arrived In Medford on the
Ssasta Saturday noon In his spsolal car,
"Sunset," was Herbert Flelshhaker,
San Francisco capitalist, They are
spending today at the Frank O.
Noyes lodge on Rogue river, and will
return to San Franclaco this evening.
When the subject of his fishing
trip was mentioned, Mr. Shoup said
he had not angled the Rogue ' since
the fall of 1908. but at that time the
fish were active and co-operative. He
hopes for some Improvement In the
situation. Although making aeveral
trips to Medford In recent years, he
haa never stopped long enough for a
fishing trip.
Mr, Flelshhaker, anxious to get to
his fishing, only made the oomment
that If business conditions do not
Improve soon, he plans to take up
football for a living. .

TO WAIT REPORT
FEDERAL SURVEY
David Rosenberg, president of the
board of directors of the Medford
Irrigation district, favors postpone
ment of any action by water users
until the result of the federal sur
vey, now under way, is completed
Water users hsve signed petitions
urging aotlon at the annual meeting
Tuesday.
There has been splendid cooper
ation and harmony thus far." said
Mr. Rosenberg, "with the bondhold
ers representatives. The farmers and
orchard tsu In our dlstrlol have met
severe reverses, making It obviously
Impossible to pay tbs full amount
per acre necessary to meet all
charges. A careful analysis of the
situation la being made by those
qualified to make such Investiga
tions, In order to find out Just what
would be a fair Irrigation tax per
acre to pay under our conditions.
"Upon completion of this work,
we will sll be In a better position
to determine what our future tax
should be. In the meantime, we
know that all concerned fully ap
preciate that a substantia reduction
Is neceeasry In order to make our
district Into healthy successful go
ing business concern."
According to figures submitted by
the county school superintendent to
the county clerk, for the purpose
of fixing school taxes for the coming
year, there are 6053 boys and 4850
girls, an Increase of .313 over last
year, registered In the public schools
of Jackson county. The total Is
9908.
Each pupil, under the state law,
requires a 10c levy for library fund.
and a sio assessment per pupil, and
a 6100 bonus of each of the 73
school districts with a 160-day school
term.
The budget estimate as submitted
calls for (58,000 for the coming year
and increase of 7,000, with no al
lowance made for bus transportation,
which last year amounted to close
to 7000.
The school levy is hedged closely
Dy state law, and guaranteed funds,
which make difficult, and cannot be
changed except by legislative action.
The county clerk Is now busy pre
paring data, on all departments of
county government, for presentation
to the budget committee, composed
of the county clerk and Ben Harder,
Medford, E. T. Newbry Sr., Phoenix,

The annual fall term of the Unit
ed States district court for south
era Oregon will open In Medford
next Tuesday forenoon with Judge
John McNary on the bench, and the
outlook Is that It will be the short
est foderal court term ever held here
lasting only about a week, aa there
are only 10 or 13 cases on the cal
endar mostly criminal cases as far
as can be learned here, and aa usual
at the opening of the torm some per
sons may change their pleas from
not guilty to guilty, thus doing away
with as many trials.
The coming court term will also
be notable In that It Is the first
for many years that the veteran late
Judges Wolverton or R. S. Bean have
not presided over. The coming of
Judge McNary aa awaited with In
terest aa he has many friends here.
Judge McNary and others of the
court personnel are expected to ar
rive In Uie city from Portland Mon
day night or Tuesday morning. In
cluding District Attorney Geo. Neun-
er and united States Marshall Jack

States court clerk, who with his wire
haa been spending a week at the
Glenn O. Taylor cabin at Union
oreok, Is expected to come In from
that location tomorrow.

live at the Hotel Medford while in
the city.
