Vote "Yes " on Friday
AT the city election Friday, two main proposals will be voted
on. First do the people of Medford wish to save money
on their bonded debt; second do they wish the city to continue
making contributions to work relief.
The answer in both cases should be "yea."
Because of the financial situation in this country, municipal
bonds are enjoying a tremendous popularity. Demand is strong,
rates of interest are exceedingly low.
In the state of 'Washington recently, for example, the city of
Bellingham sold $256,000 worth of water refunding bonds at
par, the interest rate being 2.61. The city of Centralia sold a.
similar block of refunding bonds at 98.87, the rate of interest
being 2.25. In both cases the taxpayers saved a substantial
sum.
It is estimated that the taxpayers of Medford, can by similar
action, save themselves twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars
through a period of ten years.
We can conceive of no valid argument against such action.
A penny saved is a penny earned, and $30,000 saved is certainly
$30,000 on the right side of the ledger. This proposal should be
approved unanimously.
UNLESS the voters take the trouble to study the second pro
posal, and clearly understand what a negative vote means,
it stands a good chance of being defeated. ,
There is considerable opposition to continued work relief,
from a local standpoint, and a feeling that Uncle Sam and the
state should do it ALL.
Uncle Sam is doing a great deal and the state is assisting.
But Medford will lose out on a large share of this relief money,
unless it is in a position to contribute something in the way of
supplying equipment and expenses of administrative service.
The federal contributions are only for labor. If this measure
is beaten it will mean, the city of Medford will be deprived of
relief money that is acutely needed, and the resulting situation
before the year is out might well be serious.
We therefore urge our readers to study this matter very
CAREFULLY before they decide
An affirmative vote. does not
more than it has been spending
to continue the system that has been in force, supply funds to
carry this necessary work on through the year, instead of aban
doning it.
In other words Medford can secure its share of federal funds
available, by a contribution of from ten to fifteen percent of the
total amount. '
In view of the fact that unemployment still exists, wouldn't,
this be a matter of good business sense? The money is going to
be spent somewhere in the state anyway. By contributing one
dollar toward supplies and administrative control, Medford can
secure nine dollars of outside money. If it refuses to do this it
will secure nothing.
In the opinion of this paper te vote yes on this proposal, is,
under conditions which prevail, merely a matter of obvious
self interest.
Unprecedented, Understandable
IT was an unusual action to take, and yet we can easily under-
stand the sentiment which prompted it.
Yesterday when Dennis Chavez of New Mexico was adminis
tered tho oath of office to succeed the late Senator Brouson
Cutting, five well known senators, walked out of the chamber
and refused to witness the ceremony. They were Hiram John
son, Norris nf Nebraska. Nye, La Follettc and Shipstead. Sen
ator Horah characteristically, didn't walk out, but he did refuse
to come in.
II7IIY this protest against the
within a few hundred votes
for re-election, and who was duly
the governor of New Mexico t
Because Chavez, a political war
sented everything that Bronsou Cutting hated and during his
brief but inspiring political career, opposed with all the strength
at his command. Chavez, with the support of the Democratic
state machine, and the assistance of Jim Farlcv, conducted a
nmpaign against Cutting that represented unprincipled practi
al politics, on the lowest possible plane. Kvery trick was re
sorted to, every appeal to prejudice and ignorance, utilized.
to drive this fearless and idealistic Liberal from public life,
merely because he had differed with the Roosevelt administra
tion, as two years before he had broken with the Hoover regime.
For HroiiMUi Cutting placed principle and his personal integritv,
above every consideration of partisan or personal advantage,
and fought the good fight as lie saw it, to the end.
Then to he suddenly stricken
struggle was still going on. and
had wilted, have the man he fought, take the seat that had been
so tragically vacated a few days
much for the group of Liberal
Cutting and loved him.
KJn'I'lllNli could be dune. The procedure was perfectly regu
lar. Hut darned if they were going to sanction such a
mockery of justice, such a perverted twist of an ironical fate, by
their presence, so in "solemn silence," they filed out, ami did
not return until the ceremony was over.
We seldom asree with the methods or sentiments of this
small croup of irrecouciliablps in the upper house, and we
suppose the good taste of their
liicstioiied but we sympathize
and believe that the rebuke to the
tration was entirely merited.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THIS paragraph Is a Moscow (Rus
sia, not Idaho) dispatch must
have caught your eye:
"The Mavlm Gorky, largest land air
plane In the world, crashed after a
collision with a small airplane today,
killing 49 persons, including eight
women and six chldren, In the worst
disaster ever to befall a passenger
plane."
-4
IP MEN and women who are still
young had said to their fathers
three decades ago: "The time will
come when men will fly, not as a
mere spectacular stunt to entertain
the crowds at county fairs but In
regular commercial service," these
fathers would have been Inclined to
lay their offspring across thler knees
and drive a little common sense Into
them with the flat of a hard hand.
Yet we already see aircraft so large
that FORTY-NINE persons can die In
the crash of one of them.
The world moves.
THE world will CONTINUE to move.
The wonders of today will be
the commonplaces of tomorrow, sjid
new wonders of which we do not even
dream now will be seen by our chil
dren.
This will come to pass, that Is, If
people remain WILLING TO WORK.
If the Idea, so Industriously spread
by vote-getting demagogues, that
hereafter it will no longer be neces
sary for anybody to work continues
to spread, progress will stop.
All worth-while progress Is based
on hard work.
DEPRESSIONS come and go.
The worst depression in history
has come, and ther eare sound reasons
to believe that at last It is going.
During depressions, people suffer
acutely from causes not within their
control. '
During these periods of suffering.
demagogues flourish. It always has
been that way, and probably it always
will be. Demagogues were as numer
ous in ancient Greece and Rome as In
modern America.
But, IN SPITE OF THEM, the world
has gone on.
TJ-GINNING in 1837, this country
went through a period of severe
depression, and for a long time It
looked as If the good days were gone
forever. Our resources then were about
six billion dollars.
But we RECOVERED, and with mi
nor tips and downs we kept growing
until the early seventies, when an
other great depression hit us. AGAIN
It seemed that the end of all good
things had come.
But mark this. By 1873. the re
sources of the United States had
grown to THIRTY-FIVE billion dol
lars. THE depression of '73 passed, to be
followed by nearly 20 years of
progress. Then depression hit us
again.
But by the early nineties, the re
sources of this country had mounted
to SEVENTY billion dollars.
THE depression of the nineties ran
its course and vanished, and for
more than 40 years, with minor up
and down swings, we went ahead, fin
ally slipping again Into the slough
of depression In the early thirties of
the following century.
We are still in that slough, al
though we are pretty sure we are be
ginning to climb the bank on the
other side. But by 1930. the resources
of the United States had grown to
360 billion dollars.
WE'LL get out of this depression,
and if we retain the capacity to
work and think we'll go on to an
other period of progress that will FAR
EXCEED anything we have known so
far.
