PURCHASTCLAUSE DELAYS ADOPTION (Contimud from Page one.) reading of the ordinance by City At torney Frank Farrell. Answering his question, A. E. Reames. attorney for the power com pany, stated that Inclusion of the or iginal clause would make Issue of bonds almost impossible. At tne time It was Included In the franchise he pointed out. Industrial conditions were much different than toaay If the franchise Is not granted, At torney Reames further stated, the head office of the power company probably will not remain In Medford. The three per cent tax on gross rev enue Included In the franchise, he said, provides for a tax which the power company Is not paying In any . other city. Attorney Farrell explained that In Baker, Ore., a two per cent tax is collected. Understanding Needed. ' Mr. Fines, continuing his ques' Wonlng, insisted upon a thorough understanding of all provisions of the ordinance before It Is granted, stress ing the need for cltiwns to weigh as carefully as the power company representatives have the elements of the ordinance, "We must not forget," he stated, i"that the power company, which has done much to develop this country, Is using our resources." M. N. Hogan, local bond broker, appeared before the council and ask ed that action be deferred, stating that now Is not the time to consider 10-year contract. When conditions are more settled and a reasonable basis upon which to work made pos sible the franchise should be con sidered, not now, he maintained. Delay Hampers Extension. J. C.

Reddy, who was mayor of Med ford when the original franchise was granted, stated that the council was at that time unfair to the company and that the city had since driven out many worthy projects through failure to give corporations a fair dea!

He cites the 17-year records of 120 corporations as proof of the essential role of adver tising in business success. The survey of the advertising fed eration shows that 60 of the 120 cor porations, by aggressive advertising since 1915, show combined net profits three times greater for 1S1 than for the comparatively good year of 1915. On the other hand, the remaining 60 firms, in falling to maintain suit- able advertising programs, have in most instances dropped by the way side. Indicating the opinion of progres sive local merchant toward news paper advertising, I. F. Andres, man ager of the local Montgomery Ward store, said today: Newspaper advertising, of course, is our first and most direct method of reaching the public. In it our local store spends more than three- fourths of Its entire budget for all forms of publicity. We do so rightly.' The local ward manager comment ed that Montgomery Ward & Co. has always been & firm believer In news paper advertising for Its retail stores, We owe our widespread growth largely to effective advertising. To run a business without vivid, truth ful advertising is like driving ai automobile with a defective steering gear you can get somewhere, but not where you want to go." Mr. Andrea continued, "Montgom ery Ward & Co. feel that the swift, direct way to bring the outstanding values of 1932 to the attention of great numbers of people Is through good advertising. "The Montgomery Ward definition of good newspaper advertising means that every statement must be truth fully written, every Illustration care fully drawn. Truthful advertising In 1932 guarantees public confidence an organization It changes a name to an institution." Albany College Gets New Coach ALBANY, Ore., May 25 (AP) Charles F.
