How We Stack Up
A rather difficult survey job, covering factors im
portant to industries deciding on a location for a new
plant, recently was completed by the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce.
The job was difficult due to lack of uniformity in
reports on water rates, tax rates, electric rates, land
prices and wage rates. But the figures, which have
been compiled in report form, seem to indicate that
Medford compares favorably with other cities which
provided information.
A questionnaire was mailed to 26 Pacific Coast cities
and 18, a remarkably high number, complied with
the request for information.
The survey was undertaken on the assumption
that if several communities were competing for an
industry, and were equal in matters of raw material,
markets and transportation, the factors covered in
the survey might well tip the scales one way or the
other.
As is pointed out in the report, "The comparison
can only be approximate . . . nevertheless it does give
us a rough idea of Medford's standing with regard to
cost factors involving the location of an industry."
see
fN water rates, the Medford cost inside the city lim
its, both for lower volume and for high - volume
use, was the lowest of any of the 18 cities. Rates out
side the city limits are about half way between the
lowest and highest charged in the low-volume cate
gory, and in the high-volume bracket the rate is one of
the four lowest
Electric rates also show Medford to be in a gener
ally favorable position. Only two communities have
a lower rate for industries with a high maximum der
mand and a substantial monthly use. Six communities
have lower rates than Medford for industries with a
large monthly usage. The report says the Medford
rate compares favorably for industries using average
power volumes, but that rates here are among the
highest for industries using relatively small amounts
of power.
IN the survey of property taxation, an attempt was
1 made to compare property tax rates per $100 of
assessed valuation, but the figures are more or less
inconclusive due to different systems of computing
taxes. .
Generally, however, Medford seemed to rate a
favorable position in comparison with other coastal
communities, the report said. The rate here is about
$6.82, with eight of the eighteen reporting cities hav
ing somewhat lower rates, and ten higher.
In wage rates, Medford was pretty much in the
median class, with some cities having higher levels,
some lower. As to availability of industrial sites, Med
ford has them, but it suffers, in some instances, from
the lack of water and sewer facilities. Other commun
ities have sites, complete with water, sewer and rail
road facilities, available at prices ranging from $500
per acre up to $50,000 per acre.
e e a
THE survey, while it does not jshow Medford as. a
our favorable factors, and
is in the process of making
thing to go on.
The survey has attracted considerable attention,
the chamber reports, with other chambers asking
for copies, and asking questions about how it was
done.
It is a good example of what a chamber can do
to make us more aware of our own advantages and
drawbacks, for without such knowledge, we are
somewhat at a loss in the keen competition for new
industry. E.A.
Miss America Plans
To Continue Study
For Career in Drama

Atlantic City, N. J. (U.R)
The new Miss America, a lovely
auburn haired 18-year-old from
Colorado, says she cooks nice
fudge cake and would like to
continue the study of drama.
And after she gets through the
coming strenuous year, that is
exactly what she has in mind.
The new beauty queen, Sharon
May Ritchie, already has a
$5,000 scholarship and $7,500
in cash plus the promise of a car
and many more prizes.
Sharon is devoutly religious.
She said a soft prayer on Satur
day night of the finals that God
would be on her side. The prayer
was answered.
Sister a Beauty Queen
Beauty prizes are nothing new
to her family. Her sister, Mrs.
Merle Strever of Denver, was
a runner-up in the Miss Universe
contest this year.
Sharon is an Ail-American
girL She has poise and she has
a sense of humor.
At her first press conference,
the photographers were wearing
her out. Sharon had been up all
night at the Queen's Ball. Well,
one lensman started to shoot
and his speed gun took a bad
turn.
Sharon looked the photog
square in the eye and said: "I'm
so homely, I broke that poor
guy's camera."
Sharon of course was just kid
ding. Raised in Nebraska
The young lady from Denver,
who was born and raised in
Monday, September 12. 1953

Nebraska, has what the sponsors
to the Miss America ordered.
She is five feet six inches tall,
and weighs 116 pounds. Her bust
is 35, and she has hip measure
ments to match. She is 23 around
the waist. She wears a size 74
shoe, and the size of the dress
is 10. The glove size is six and
the color of the eyes are blue.
Miss Oregon, Dorothy John
son, took second place in the
beauty parade and Miss Chicago,
Florence Gallagher, was third.
Clara Faye Arnold, Miss North
Carolina, was fourth and Ann

been booming merrily, while the
state has been spending immense
sums, for defense and the social
services. The result has, of
course, been inflation of the
pound; the real value of the
pound has dropped about 30 per
cent since the devaluation in
1949.
In theory, all this should have
led long since to the loss of Brit
ain's competitive position in
world markets, and to another
great economic crisis. In fact,
the current crisis is very weak
tea indeed, at least for the pres
ent, compared to the tremen
dous, and world-shaking crises
of 1947, 1949 and 1951. Chancel
lor of the Exchequer R. A. But
ler denies, indeed, that it is a
crisis at all it is only a diffi
culty which will soon be over
come. The most important out
ward and visible sign, of the cri
sis or difficulty is the loss of
something like $500,000,000
from the British gold and dol
lar reserves in the last nine
months. At the same time, small
sinister whispers of a second de
valuation have begun to be
heard and the pound has shown
signs of weakening on the world
market. The crisis or difficulty
is absolutely invisible, of course,
to the ordinary British worker,
enjoying a second glass of beer
in iiis pub, on the best wages
he has ever had; or even to the
stockbroker, mulling over fu
ture opportunities for profit
over a gin and tonic in his club.
But the crisis is very real to
the responsible men in both par
ties, and they are worrying more
than they care to admit.
TNDEED, it began worrying the
- able Chancellor of the Ex
chequer as early at last Febru
ary, when he sharply raised the
bank interest rate. This was sup
posed to have the effect of rein
ing in the current boom. Insteadj
the boom broke into an excited
gallop. At the end of July, But
ler tightened the reins further
by clamping down sharply on
consumer credit. It remains to
be -seen whether this will slow
down the boom. What amazes
the foreign visitor is the unanim
ity of opinion here about the eco
nomic problem. Butler is blamed
by the Socialists not for clamp
ing down, but for not clamping
down hard enough or soon
enough. It is remarkable, more
over, to hear left wing Labor
politicians echoing, in private,
the equally private view of most
Conservatives that the root of
the trouble lies in over-employ
ment. As long as jobs are going
begging, there is no incentive
for higher production; coal
mines are left idle (Britain will
soon stop all export of coal, caus
ing consternation on the conti
nent), and prices pace wages in
in an unending spiral.
Yet both Socialists and Con
servatives are also amazingly
optimistic for the long pull. La
bor men repeat, almost like a
litany, that the Labor Party is
going to have to adjust its poli
cies to the fact that mass unem
ployment and mass poverty are
things of the past. An able Con
servative politician remarked
that he was not really worried
about the present economic trou
bles because the last 10 years
had proved that catastrophe
could always be avoided by in
telligent economic management
by the state. This view, which is
how very widely shared here,
amounts to the conviction that
Britain can have its cake and
eat it too, provided the cake is
eaten with prudence and intelli
gence. There is an intellectual
fashion in such matters. In the
years immediately after the war
it was fashionable here to say,
with a very long face, that Brit
ain could never again become
a great power or even support
its population the only solu
tion was mass emigration. More
recently, it was fashionable to
say that even a relatively pain
less recession in the United
States would knock the whole
British economy galley west.
-
TN FACT, Britain has not only
recovered from the war, but
carried a major rearmament pro
gram as well, meanwhile feeding
its population better than ever
before. And it was during the
American recession that the
British boom really began to
gather momentum.
It is easy to see why optimism,
at least for the long pull, has
replaced pessimism as the intel
lectual fashion here. One can
only hope that the optimism is
as justified as the pessimism
was not.
