great confidence, that We who live
along the upper system will in the
future suffer still more from the
scarcity of water in case water shall
be taken from the upper system and
discharged at the intake of the lower
system for the running of the pro-
posed auxiliary plant. l cannot see
how it can be otherwise.
Health of People Endangered.
Third-For several years l have
been fearful as to the purity of the
water in the lower water system. 1t
has always seemed to me that the
lower intake is not where it ought to
be. 1t ought to be extended farther
up the creek, and above the belt of
the farm lands which sooner or later
will be subject to irrigation and
seepage water will percolate into the
reservoir of the lower system, and
furthermore it should certainly be
extended to a point above the Prater
property, where the teachings from
the old barnyard and outbuildings
soon mix with the water that passes
into the lower system. The intake
of the lower system must be extend
ed up the creek to point above the
Prater property The health of the
people of the city depends upon it..
The State Board of Health will GER
tainly require it to be done, and
should it be done, then an auxiliary
power plant erected at the present
reservoir at the lower system will be
useless and it's cost will be wasted.
This point / wish to emphasize more
emphatically for the reason that the
trouble has already begun and we
have now perhaps a dozen cases of
typhoid fever in our city, and instead
of voting these bonds at the present
time it seems to me that it would
comport more to the benefits of
the city and the health of it's inhab-
itants, and even to the saving of life,
if our city fathers would engage
without delay in effecting remedy
for the condition that confronts us.
| dislike to be thus plain, but it is
right that the people should under
stand the situation. l know the Ash
land canyon nearly as well as l know
my home place, and l wish that the
people of the city would try to in
form themselves by going up the can
yon and not trust to the gaining of
knowledge second hand.
People Deciue-UIncers Must Obey.
But whether I am in favor of the
bonds or not makes but one vote diff
ference in the result. The people de-
eide by a majority vote whether or
no the bonds shall issue and it will
be the duty of the city officers-elect
to follow the instructions given by
such vote. And let me assure you
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-12-16

that should the bonds be voted, and
l, elected as Mayor, there will be no
expenditure in excess of the bond is
sue in the construction of any auxil-
iary plant.
Fire Protection.
l believe it is absolutely necessary
that we should have better protec-
tion against fire. l believe that if
an auto fire engine can be found that
can be safely trusted to climb our
hills, that such protection will be the
most efficient, safe, and sanitary.
I believe the fire boys should be
given the opportunity of testing any
engine purchased, and the RESPONSE
bility as to the selection entrusted
to them and their decision respected.
l am in favor of those bonds.
Lower Taxes Imperative.
Fourth believe the people of
this city have all the burdens they
Snould De called upon to bear until
they have had time to recover from
the immense drain for the taxes and
special assessments of the past year
and from the taxes and special as
sessments soon to become due. They
should not be imposed upon by hav-
ing to bear still heavier burdens, and,
furthermore, am not willing to in
vest much more in public utilities
unless the management of them can
be removed from the influence of
politics and isms and placed in the
hands of some carefully selected
commission freed from the influence
Of city politics. l believe that with
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-12-16

a proper utility commission the cleo
trio light plant and the city water
plant might be made to pay hand
some dividends to the city, but they
can never be made to do so as long
as the management depends on DO
litical preference.
License or No License.
The license or no license question
is to be voted upon, and the VOTE
must decide the question of saloons
or no saloons, and if majority vote
for the saloons then license will have
to issue regardless of the views of
the Mayor or the City Council on
that question. But if license is de-
feated, as undoubtedly it will be,
| then there can be no license issued.
regardless of the state of mind of the
Mayor and Council. Any officer
elect must take an oath of office, and
is bound under his oath, and l have
no thought but that every nominee
before the people, if elected, will live
up to that oath in every respect. 1t
seems ridiculous to me that any fair
minded person could think otherwise
In view of the above it seems use
less for me to declare my position on
that matter. But, that there may be
no misunderstanding on the part of
| either dry or wet voter, | will
say that if the people vote NO IL
CENSE, then there MUST not be.

majority vote of the city electors. If
that matter were under consideration
then the article of Mr.. Throne might
be in point.
The Meeting That Nominated.
Referring to the article as to the
meeting in the Commercial Club
room of about two score citizens, at
the time | was nominated. Such ar
ticle seems to be IAN OUTBURST"
on the part of some person or per-
sons trying to give vent to some
spleen, and who were ashamed to
sign their names. He or they knew
that they were using the art of the
demagogue merely to furnish the un-
thoughtful with some morsel as a
not so, why did they not mention the
names of all the citizens present, in
stead of the names of three candi-
dates, together with the names of
two other gentlemen? 1t plainly
proves in itself that the writer of
that article wished to cast an asper-
sion on Councilman Butler, Recorder
Hurt and Mr.. Briggs, and that he did
1t with no other design. The article
is unfair. deceptive, and unjust.
None of the parties mentioned, unless
it be Mr.. Malone. has any stock or
interest in the Siskiyou company
whatever.
No Friend of the Siskiyou Company
For the information of the public
l would state that no persons in the
city of Ashland were more indignant
at the action Of the Siskiyou com
pany in raising the lighting rates
than were G. S. Butler and Il. d
Briggs, referred to in that article
and both Mr.. Butler and Mr.. Briggs
at that time wrote the officers of the
Siskiyou company that their acts il
raising the rates was unjust and was
contrary to the agreement made be
tween said company and the officer,
of the city at the time the city
bought of that company the lands
and riparian rights along Ashland
creek. The letters were published il
one of our local papers and perhap
in both at that time, and we mus
certainly brand that article as an in
sinuating falsehood designed t
prejudice people against the said par
ties, and il was an unfair and dis
honest trick. and every one tina
knows the true situation will Ger
tainly agree with me.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-12-16

the people of the city of Ashland, and
the people were entitled to know the
facts. l am Furthermore pleased to
state that in circulating the said sub
scription, every person l asked was
willing to give his mite for such pur-
pose regardless of his views as to the
issue of additional bonds. l did not
then know what the expert report
might be; we merely wanted the
facts. The report has been made and
| am pleased to see that it has eX-
cited the city officers and employees
to come forth and express themselves
fairly and give the people a chance
to judge for themselves. There can
be no question but that the voters of
the city are now better able to vote
intelligently than they would have
been had the usual silence been
maintained. Certainly no one who is
in favor of a square deal can find
fault with that
The Bond Issue.
| have stated and | now state that
as | view the matter l will be obliged
to vote against the additional cleo
trio light bonds. l am willing that
the people should know my position,
whether it results in either a gain or
a loss of votes for me at the coming
election. In my Judgment | have
what | consider good reasons for vot-
ing against the additional bond issue.
| will state my reasons, and / ask the
public to have the same respect for
my views as they would have for the
views that do not accord to my own.
First-The matter of the water
rights of the city of Ashland is now
pending in the courts. The testi-
mony has been taken, and perhaps
within the next few months the
courts will have decided just what
those rights are. Such decision may
not give to Ashland ALL the waters
OF Ashland creek, but when given we
VIII have to abide by the decree of
the courts. When that decree is
made then we will know our exact
position, and when our actual rights
are determined then we can act intel
llgently, and what is done can be
done for permanency and with safety,
but until that time it is unwise, in
my Judgment, to incur a consider
able expense in installing a plant
that through the decision of the court
might become useless and of no value
to the city.
Danger for Water Users.
Second-As one patron who uses
water from the upper water system,
and as one who in the past has keen
ly felt the need of water to irrigate
lawn and garden, | am fearful, not
withstanding the statements of the
city experts, in some of whom have

City Recorder Hurt Efficient and
Friend of Municipal Plant.

We all know that there has not
been, in the history of the city of
Ashland, a more competent, thor
ough and reliable City Recorder than
Joseph Hurt. We all know that if
there is any man in the city of Ash
land that has used his best efforts
to make the city lighting system a
! success and free it from imposition,
Unnecessary expenses and graft, that
luan is Recorder Hurt, and certainly
some enemy of his must have been
instrumental in bringing up such a
false issue.
Briggs Never Aided But Always
Fought the Siskiyou Company.
The article as we'll as the argu-
ments banded about in whispered
conversations and other devious
methods, insinuate that | would play
into tne hands of the Siskiyou COM
pany, They know better. They
know that in all of the litigation be-
tween the city of Ashland and the
Siskiyou company for the past seven
years or more, and in several impor-
tant suits, that | have represented
the city of Ashland as its counsel.
And they further know that in each
of such suits the city has been sue
cessful.
Friend of Municipal Plant.
Some have said that l was opposed
to the city lighting plant. l answer
this by saying that as the trusted
counsel of the Mayor and Common
Council, ! for months contested in
the courts of Oregon in behalf of the
city electric plant and helped to
make the construction of that plant
possibility. l even wrote articles
which were published in the local pa
pers urging the citizens of Ashland
to patronize the home plant and
show their loyalty to the city, and !
was one of the first to make a con-
tract to take electric current from
the city plant, and now some of these
''self-styled" advocates of the city
lighting system attempt to take upon
themselves full credit for accom-
plishments which they, in their i'm,
practical way, could never have ac
complished.
