MAIL TRIBUNE
Annexation Criticisms Answered
We have never seen a
lem where one side is all
white. This is true with the annexation problem
which will be decided in the election Tuesday. "
It has never been claimed in this space that there
are no flaws in the annexation plan as presented for
approval of the voters of the "South Medford" area.
But it has been claimed, and still is, that the proposal
offers the residents and the city the best available
plan to solve this and a multitude of problems which
need to be solved as soon as possible.
IN REPLY to an advertisement appearing in Thurs-
day's paper, we would like to offer these comments :
Item 1 That we failed "to do sufficient research."
Comment: The editorial did not pretend to be a
complete analysis of all problems involved. We might
add, however, that we did not attempt to apply PRES
ENT millage rates to FUTURE assessed valuation, as
was done at a meeting last week, resulting in a mis
leading representation of what future taxes might be.
Item 2 That we fail to teU the advantages of a "pack-
age deal" in annexation. - . ,
..Comment: There are several, including the elim
ination of many separate annexation elections which,
unless the package -deal passes, are inevitable; the
extension of city services to a large area all at once,
including zoning and planning benefits, added fire
and police protection, and, important to residents of
the area, a resulting increase in property resale values.
Item 3 (and also Item 6) That residents who are not
registered are being deprived of their vote because they did
not have a chance to register after the election was called, .
i and that taxpayers owning property in the ara, but who
do not live there, are taxed without their having a voice
in the matter." ...
' i
Comment: Being registered to vote is an obliga
tion and responsibility of good citizenship. If a resi
dent of the area has disenfranchised himself by
failure to vote in past ejections, or by lack of attend
ing to the duty, of registration, he has only himself;
to blame. As for the taxpayers who own property in
the area but do not reside there, they may feel un
happy, but the interests of those who live there, and
who have staked their families' futures there, are an
overriding consideration.
Item 4 That we failed "to bring out the facts pertain
ing to the cost of this annexation which will have to be'
borne by the present citizens of Medford, who are simul
taneously being asked to permit the city government to
- exceed the 6 per cent tax limitation.'
Comment : It has been pointed out, time and again,
that the proposed city budget increase is almost exclu
sively for services to the city
less than $2,000 of the proposed $66,510 increase
a small fraction is for services in connection with
annexation. . -
Item 9 That we failed "to bring out what city services
are wanted or needed by the owners of property in the
contemplated annexation area (with certain exceptions) ..."
Comment: Sewers and streets, which can be con
structed upon petition of the residents, are vital in
large areas, not just the "limited area" mentioned.
Also compare the city's modern, effective, trained
force of almost 30 police off icers, to the limited re
sources of the sheriff's office and state police. Com
pare the fire prevention and techniques of the city's
topflight department available to city residents, while
only the inadequate rural pumper can be sent to
rural fires. Street lights are needed. So are building
codes, to protect the majority of residents from some
one else putting up nearby firetraps or dangerous
buildings. So are zonmg
one from building a pigpen or slaughter house or auto
wreckers next to someone else's new home. There are
advantages as well as disadvantages to the rules and
regulations cf cities.
Item 6 (See answer to Item 3).
Item 7 This says, in effect, that present and potential
taxpayers of Medford "are not anxious to be burdened with
the cost of this large underdeveloped area . . ."
Comment: Who is burdened?
The residents of Medford now pay the smallest
tax of citizens in any city of comparable size in Ore
gon. The annexation may, within the next few years,
add a few cents, maybe even a dollar or so, to the
individual's annual tax bill. But if orderly, progressive
development, growth, increasing business activity
within the city limits; if progress in sanitation, in
street building, in zoning,
if fire and police protection
water; if a progressive and
government, responsive to the needs of the citizenry
if all these are not worth the pittance which prog
ress costs, then America is on the wrong road. Let
us not make the mistake

How Soon We Forget
It was only a few years ago only three that
the No. 1 issue from the Republican standpoint was
getting the country out of debt and balancing the
national budget.
The record will show that President Eisenhower
as a candidate declared many times that before any
thing of real importance could be accomplished, the
budget would have to be balanced and Uncle Sam
would have to stop spending more than he took in.
Of course, as always in a campaign, the wicked
opposition was blamed for this deplorable conditions
of the U. S. treasury, as well as for the war in Korea
and a spend-thrift philosophy that had increased the
national obligations to over 200 billions. So the voters
were advised to "turn the
regime would not only balance the budget, but the
people would enjoy an era of sound money, sound
legislation, and unexampled prosperity.

We hear no outcries against these heresies today
from the GOP headquarters. As for budget-balancing,

DOES this mean the GOP leaders have abandoned
budget balancing and the fight against inflation
entirely?
Some of them mav. but
In fact one of the most prominent of the GOP
leaders and the most highly regarded, has a proposal
to balance the budget, reduce if not entirely eliminate
inflation and put "deficit financing" in the ash can

His name is Herbert Clark Hoover and if anyone
has forgotten him he is not only a former Secretary
of Commerce but was the 31st President of the United
States! He was not a very popular President and he
was badly defeated for a second term. But there is
no member of the Republican party more highly
respected today nor whose
convention time are given
sympathetic consideration.
Now he has concluded

More than that.

Exactly what the terms "useful" and "actual"
mean or imply is not entirely clear, but it is clear and
as certain as sunrise that the Eisenhower adminis
tration does not question Mr. Hoover's sincerity, his
great ability or deny that his incapability of wilful
deception is as great as that of the President himself.
CO WHAT?
Well how can the present administration, with
any consistency, file these reports away for future
reference, and pay no attention to them, when a
"sure-fire" cure for the basic ills of the country
under the former administration, so deplored by
GOP leaders, has been offered by a member of the
party in power who is so
Certainly to ignore these recommendations can
only mean one of two things, either the Eisenhower
administration is no longer

County Court Should Wake Up
To the Editor: When we came
to Medford in 1923 the financial
situation here was pitiful. A few
years before Jackson County
had enjoyed a wonderful period
of development and the optimism
of the people had been totally
unrestrained.. The most outstand
ing bit of chaos was in our city.
Medford had taken in a great
deal of surrounding territory,
had put 4n a sewer, water, side
walks and paving all of which
confiscated the property and in
1927 when I first served on the
City Council we had over 2,000
city , lots for sale, some with
houses on them, and we were
so desperate to get this property
back on the tax rolls that we
sold several hundred lots for $10
down and $10 per month with
no interest.
The present situation bears a
great similarity to the past. In
the last four years our city ad
ministration has taken in prop
erty without thought of the nec
essity of a regular city boun
dary and this should undoubtedly
be corrected. But to add a large
undeveloped area puts a cost on
policing and street maintainance
that is not wise and ' possibly
dangerous to our financial struc
ture.
witn the state collecting a
property tax from us next year
it is very unwise to vote in
creased taxes and expense on
ourselves until we know where
we stand. Consequently the tax
millage limitation should not
be increased.
A great deal has been left un
said about the proposed sanitary
district, it should not be ac
cepted without more thought.
Remember, we have a public
health officer and it is the duty
of the county court to see that
sanitary laws are enforced.
believe the county court should
take more interest in the pub
lic welfare.

Raises Land Prices
To the Editor: Just a true
story of being annexed to an
other town or city. I lived In
Oakland, San Francisco, and
Berkeley, Calif., for 12 years.
My last home was on Congress
ave., East Oakland today, but
when I bought my place it was
Melrose, five miles to 12 and
Broadway, Oakland.
After two years in my home,
a movement was started to an
nex all of this part of the coun
try to Oakland. Then, excuse my
words, HeU let out for Recess.
City fathers of Oakland and real
estate guys aU were for this big
pie to be cut up for some good
eating. Many things were
promise to aU these 40,000 peo
ple living in that East End of
Alemeda county. In 1910 and. up
to that date there was no officers
but county and you never saw
any of them. We had electricity,
sewer and water, not much, but
we were going to just have
every thing that a city should.
But Brother we got plenty of
expenses. Up went taxes and
real estate sharks came out, al
most double land prices.
Now all these people were
very common working people
and most of them could hardly
get along at best, big families.
Every word of this is true. I
lived , there seven years, it was
a nice place but one thing to re
member, these all calls for police,
fire fighting machines and 1000
and 1 things that you do not see
and it is a fine thing in many
ways to be in the city but to
both sides of the 'question of
annex, both city of Medford and
the territory to annex, is some
thing to think about
I have spent more than 50
years of my 78 in large city or
cities and Medford is a very
small place to take over very
much, and, the way Medford is
doing, going around raising val
ues on old property so they can
tax people more. Something, I
never heard of in all my rounds,
sounds to me like getting money
under false pretense. I am satis
fied it is wrong. I hope no one
will be sorry. I was in my place
in Oakland and I sold' out and
moved away.

"Hoodlums' ;
To The Editor: I beUeve that
Medford carries the distinction
of being one of the few cities
in the country that permits hot
rod racing in it's residential sec
tion. It would seem that they
are proud of its Hoodlums and
their old traps equipped to make
as much noise as possible, or
they would take steps to wake
up their Police Department.
Complaints have gone in to
them again and again, and the
answer is always the same "We
can't be everywhere." However,
this does not appear to be true

In the mail the other day we
received a copy of a full-page,
four-color advertisement which
appeared recently in the Chicago
Tribune, extolling the virtues of
the Union Pacific's new Dome
Dining Cars..
The biggest picture in the ad
shows a dozen or so happy
people, seated amidst the gleam
ing silver, crisp white linens
and magnificent scenery which
go with dining in a dome car.
We noted, however, that not
one of them was lookng out the
window. AU were either reading
newspapers or staring down at
the food.
You've heard the expres
sion: "Than Which there is
None Whicher."
We rather like a new
wrinkle on that we heard the
other day "Than Whom
there is None Whomer."
'
On a pleasant Sunday after
noon not long ago, a man we
know was taking his family for
license number of the offender,
ana me a complaint and ap
pear. After all isn't this the duty
of a police officer?
From 10 until after midnight,
especially on Friday and Satur
day nights, at the intersection
of Fifth and Ivy the Hoodlums
are truly on the loose. It is com
mon to see them racing through
the intersection at a speed of
from. 50 to 60 miles per hour
exhausts roaring: turning cor
ners at terrific speeds to squeal
tires all of which is plain law
lessness that should be stopped.
r In Chicago and other large
cities, a motor cycle cop is just
around the corner. and traffic
violators soon learn .that t
streets are not speedways, and
that it is not a pjace for small
town antics. Must Medford al
ways stay in short pants, and'
never grow up? .

Opposed To Annexation.
" To the Editor: Soon wUI come
the day for voting on annexation
and if we are annexed there
will be a rude awakening for
those who voted for it Some
people wUI be taken hi by the
rosy picture that Medford has
conjured up for us but if they
would carefully consider the
matter, they would see that
Medford isn't giving us . any
thing. That what we get we will
pay for dearly. Moreover, if an
nexed, we would be obligated to
help, pay Medford's huge , in
debtedness. Debts we had no part
in incurring.
. Life in rural Jackson county
is' free and pleasant but if. we
are put under Medford rule, this
will be changed. There will be
many restrictions - that most
people are not aware of, so be
fore going to tne polls; it would
be well to consider. If we are
annexed, many people ar going
to have flatter pocketbooks than
they now have.
