INTEREST REDUCED
TO 3.25 PER CENT
Bond Owners To Forego
Practically All Interest
During Next Four Years
Will Reclassify Lands.
Following la an outline In detail
of the plan for the proposed refi
nancing of the Medford Irrigation dis
trict, recently arrived at between land
owners and bondholdera.
1. The acreage of the Irrigation
district la to be reduced from 03000
acres, as presently assessed, to 8500
acres. The purpose of this reduction
Is to permit the elimination of lands
now. being assessed which are high
ways and certain other acreage to
tally unfit for Irrigation. Since ill
farms embrace a certain amount of
roads, this will result In certain sav
ings to all land owners.
2. FIRST FOUR - YEAR MORA
ATORIUM PERIOD: During the
next four years the bond owners
are willing to forego practically
all Interest on their bonds, re
ceiving but one per cent (810.00
per year per 1000 bond) rather
than the former six per cent
(teo.OO per 11000 bond). This is
arranged with the thorough under
standing that the land owners will.
during this period, assess and aocu
mulate adequate money to properly
develop our leaky uncompleted sys
tem In order to avoid further water
shortages.
Thus, 11.30 will be aasessed for
the one per cent on bonds, 13.50 for
the necessary maintenance, and $3.70
towards repairing the system a total
of 7.50. During the balance of the
three-year period assessments will not
exceed this amount, with a .possi
blllty.of some reduction.
3. ANNUAL PLAN OF ASSESS
MENT AFTER FIRST FOUR YEARS:
New bonds shall be Issued by. the
district and shall be exchanged one
bond for each thousand doliar bond
now outstanding. The new bonds
shall be of the type known as am-
mortized bonds, or self retiring bonds
They shall provide for fifty annual
payments of 932.50 each, which shall
satisfy both their principal ana in
tereet. To pay this Bond require
ment will necessitate an average nor

month wash, a corn plaster or
haa the ncicntist just hjred a
press agent! It says you only
work four hours a day and
there will be no politicians.
That last is the beat selling
clause it has. There' is not a
man in the country that can't
make a living (or hi insult and
family, but ho can't make a liv
ing for them nnd his govern
ment, too, the way his govern
ment is living.
What the government hn.
got to do is live as cheap as the
people. Then you don't need
"technocracy." Yours,
