EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
Tuaidsy, July 3, 194S
RATIFICATION OF
Poll Conducted By League
of Women Voters Approve
Congressional Action.
Medford people believe that
the congress of the United States
should ratify the Unitel Nations
charter drawn up at the ban
Francisco conference at once
and not wait until after the
meeting of the Big Three later
this month according to a cross
section of citizens polled by the
Jackson County League of Wo
men Voters last week-end. Re
sults of the poll were wired to
Oregon League headquarters
and then to Washington.
The charter was introduced In
the congress yesterday by Presi
dent Truman.
Out of the 135 persons polled
123 believed in immediate rati
fication, many remarking "the
quicker the better." But three
. believed ratification should be
delayed and nine declined to an
swer. The poll was made of 10
merchants, 18 county officers
and department heads, nine
school principals, 11 profession
al people, 10 religious leaders
10 real estate dealers, 9 federal,
state and county agency em
ployees, seven newspaper staff
members, nine men and women
working with financial institu
tions. 10 orchardists and 29
housewives and others.
Among the interesting re
marks resulting from the poll
were such statements as "Yes,
by all means ratify the charter
at once, because when power
politics begin, the charter will
have been forgotten" and "the
quicker the charter is ratified,
the better its chance to work."
Others said "if not quickly, per
haps n t ever" and "We're sure
this isn't particularly good, but
we d like to see It put into use
and the flaws adjusted."
One person remarked, "Yes,
we've got to pass It, but it's a
highly political move, lsn t U7
Another said "I don't know
, enough about it myself, but
have great confidence in Stettl
nius." One man thought that the
.charter shouldn't be ratified un
til after the congress had had a
chance for thoughtful discussion,
but that this should be complet
ed before the Big Three meeting,
wnile another person said "No,
the charter shouldn't be ratified
until after the Big Three have
had a chance to talk It over.'
ED
Approximately 178 Mexican
nationals now In the valley
working In fruit orchards were
moved Friday and Saturday from
Camp Prescott to new quarters
in army barracks at the Medford
air field. The move was made
necessary wheei the cook house
at Camp Prescott burned last
Tuesday. ,
A growers' committee has re
quested that 1000 Mexican na
tionals be stationed here during
the peak of the harvest season,
by arrangements with the War
Food Administration. It is ex
pected that fewer than this num
ber will be available however,
as more Mexican workers will
be needed in the eastern and
northern sections of Oregon to
replace Japanese internees used
last year.

HEARING SLATED
FOR JULY 20TH
Medford city school budget
for the coming fiscal school year
was adopted Wednesday night at
a meeting of the budget commit
tee and the school board and
E. H. Hedrick, city school super
intendent, announced today the
public hearing for the purpose of
discussing the budget has been
set for July 20 at 8 p. m., in the
school superintendent's office in
the city hall.
Estimated expenditures for the
ensuing school year are listed as
$338,152: an increase of approxi
mately $35,000 over last year.
This is occasioned by an 11 per
cent raise in teachers salaries
and an additional six teachers
required by an enlargement in
population, Supt. Hedrick point
ed out. .
With the exception of teachers'
salaries, which is the biggest sin
gle Increase, this year's budget Is
practically the same as last
year s, the superintendent said.
The entire budget calls for
$359,139.50. of which $20,987.50
Is for bonds and interest. Of the
total budget, state, county and
other receipts make up $159,-
505.60 which leaves $199,633.90
to be raised by taxation.
Ordinarily this would require
a tax of 16.4 mills to raise. But
with the offset provided by the
real property tax, it will be re
duced to probably 10 or 11 mills,
according to Hedrick.
Members of the budget com
mittee were O. O. Alenderfer,
George Frey. Victor Milnes, Seth
Bullis and Herb Grey. The school
board is composed of N. H.
Franklin Dr. R. E. Green, Eu
gene Thorndike, Otto Frohn
mayer and John P. Moffat.
The budget was published in
legal form in last Friday's issue
of the Mail Tribune.

ASHLAND WATER
Ashland, July 3 A total of 18
dead deer has been found re
cently in the Ashland reservoir
by city officials. The animals
were believed to have been shot
by a 22 calibre rifle and when
wounded, have sought water,
dying in the reservoir.
City officials warned that not
only is it a violation of all hunt
ing regulations to seek game in
the watershed, but is against the
law to trespass on the property.
Game wardens have been noti
fied and a close watch will be
kept on the area, it was stated.
Water is not affected by the
carcasses since it is chlorinated
and also would naturally be puri-
