OPIUM TRADE EXPOSED.
Officer of Vessel Says Ship Has
dope" Room.

San Francisco.-Among other ap-
pointments for comfort OF passengers
on the liner Siberia is an opium
room, in which Chinese smoke, so
testified Charles B. Kenney, lately
third officer of the vessel, in hear
ing last Monday before Francis
Krull, United States commissioner.
The room is marked Hospital, 4"
Kenney said, but so far as he knew
only opium smokers used it.
The records produced show that
1928 tins of opium, valued at $26,-
OPS, have been taken from the ST.
IBERIA on her last five voyages. Other
Pacific Mail liners which have
brought opium during the same per-
iod are the Mongolia, 317 tins; the
Corea, III tins; the Manchuria, 153
tins, and the China, 129 tins. The
figures speak only for the seizures.
Much undetected opium was snug
gled ashore, say customs officers.
Kenney was caught with opium on
his person. More of it was found
behind secret panel in his state
room. He is serving three months
in the Alameda county jail.
In view of the magnitude of the
traffic, the United States attorney
has announced that the government
will impose the limit of the law on
all masters of ships on which contra
band opium is found.

CHEAP MONEY.

A number of years ago the Cos
mopolitan Magazine gathered to-
gether all of the history of schemes
that had been tried throughout the
different nations of the world for the
issuance of currency. The publica-
tion was called Cheap Money" and
is still in some libraries.
We would recommend to William
J. Scott, of Peoples Bank fame, that
he give this work a careful perusal.
His proposal is much like the John
Laws French scheme. His circula-
tion was based on land values. If a
person had land valued at one thou
sand dollars he could make applica-
tion to the government for currency
in the sum OF four hundred dollars,
paying only for the cost of printing
and maintaining it, and the govern
ment would print the currency and
issue it to him, his land standing
good for the issue. John Laws ar
gued that as land, at forty per cent
of its value, was considered the best
security for money loans, it would
afford the best basis for currency
circulation.
To those not familiar with the his
tory of the French scheme it will be
worth their while to study it, for il
proved the most gigantic failure ever
recorded.
Mr.. Scott's plan to issue bonds
against taxable values to the county
is much the same as that of JohI
Laws and would meet with the sam,
disaster.
We need a more flexible currency
but no system is likely to be devised
that will afford as sound basis TO
currency issue as gold and silver.

OUR PARK.

The suggestion of Brother Wolf
that societies and picnic parties
throughout the valley be invited to
use our city park for their gatherings
is good one and should be carried
out by the city and the park board.
The city park is one of the best ad-
vertising assets we have Every
body in the valley should be induced
to discover by personal experience
what delightful resort the park is.
Give a broadcast invitation for val
ley people to come and enjoy it. 1t
will do Ashland good. The Tidings
joins the Record in offering to ad-
vertise the matter as far as in it lies.
Our park has the greatest natural
beauty to be found anywhere on
earth, and the artificial development
is beginning to count The park
board has been busy this year. The
underbrush has been cut out far up
the canyon, new shrubbery and trees
have been set, so that another season
of growth will develop it to a spot
of exquisite beauty.
The park board is to be congratu-
lated on its accomplishments. And
this splendid development has been
accomplished only by large sacrifice
of time and labor on the part of the
park board. So far. this season Mr..
Enders and Mr.. Badger have given
about half of their time to the work
without compensation. The COM
munity should appreciate their self
sacrificing efforts. These gentlemen
eXemplify public spirit much need
ed in Ashland, and one which if gem
orally followed will result in large
and speedy material development of
this community.

CUT AND CLEAN.

The Chautauqua assembly opens
its session this year July 2. AS is
usual upon this occasion, thousands
of valley visitors and strangers will
be in Ashland. The city should be
dressed in her best garb during these
days. All of the weeds should be cut
from vacant lots and burned. The
streets generally should be scraped
and the weeds cut along them. The
time is short for this accomplish
ment if the city is put in shipshape
before that time.
Persons owning vacant lots along
side of neighbors who have pride
enough in the city to make their
yards beautiful have no right to mar
the neighborhood by allowing weeds
to grow high on them. The city has
an ordinance providing that notice
shall be given all such owners to cut
and clear their lots by given time.
If it is not done, the city has the
right to cut the weeds and assess
the expense against the lots the same
as regular taxes This ordinance
should be rigidly enforced.
While we do not desire to criticise
the council, yet there seems to be
a kind of laXity in relation to the
enforcement of several wholesome or
dinances For example, it seems to
shy at the old barn nuisance, at the
dog ordinance, and at the weed-cut-
ting laws In a home city like Ash
land it is especially needful that such
ordinances be enforced. Healthful-
ness, cleanliness and beauty are our
greatest assets. 1t is highly profit
able to the city to eXpend the sums
necessary to this accomplishment
Private lot owners cannot afford, un-
der any circumstances, to allow un-
slightly weeds and rubbish to mar the
beauty of the city.
many OF lne SIreetS are III Ddu
condition. Weeds are growing along
many of them, and some of them on
the side hills are washed full of holes.
Every one of them should be cleaned
and leveled before the Chautauqua
opens. The city now has about
$500 cash in the street fund avail
able for this purpose. The work
should be undertaken at once and
pushed to completion.

POLITICS INSTEAD OF BUSINESS.

In a factory, if the boss increases
the vigilance of his supervision, it is
natural for the employees to redOuble
their attention to the steel or iron
or cloth on which they work. I'm
less there is a positive friction, a
closer inspection means more work
done
The American people are the boss
of their civic workshop of govern
ment. and every once in four years
they begin to look after their COM
mon business interest. There is pre-
vailing today an exceptional political
unrest. due to high cost of living and
the unsettled relations between the
government and the big corporations.
The result is that peoplpe are watch
ing the doings of their servants in
congress with a very keen attention.
A redoubled vigilance and an in
creased output might reasonably be
expected on the part of our law-mak-
ers. Yet the dispatches from Wash
ington indicate that the product of
useful legislation since congress got
to work December ! is small, as is
always the case during presidential
years.
The problems of our great and
growing country are increasing :"
acuteness day oy day. A great many
of these problemsm are nonpolitical.
They do not divide congress on party
lines. If congress could ever get
around to them, useful laws tending
to remove obstacles from honest in
dustry could be passed. The abuses
in our patent system are a cause in
point made particularly clear since
the decision in the mimeograph case
Congress is about as likely to bother
its head over musty patent cases
while delegates are being chosen, as
the boys are to study compound in.

played in the school yard. Yet the
proper control of patent rights is alb

development.
How shall we get orderly, efficient
consideration of tariffs and revenu,
and trusts, comparable to the consid
eratiCn that a business problem get
from the directors of a corporation
when our public servants are bus,
mailing copies of political speeches
to constituents. and hasting ava.
from Washington to greet the farm

TEDDY MAY BOLT.
Supporters of Colonel Prepared for
ANY Emergency.

Chicago.-That the Roosevelt sup
porters will bolt the republican ma
tional convention here if the Taft
men secure control of the convention
by any means which they consider
unfair, was indicated in a statement
issued by Alexander H. Revell, chair
man of the Roosevelt national COM
mittee.
IF the decision of these contests
is flagrantly wrong, manifestly un-
just or unfair" declared Revell,
nobody would respect a candidate
Disseminated against in this way if
tamely submitted"
You may put your own construc-
tion on that. Such situation is one
which will nave to be met when 1t
arises. This is the peoples move
ment. The people have plainly indi-
Gated whom they want. If the con-
test decisions are not fair, the people
will not sit idly by and see robbery
by any political organization when
it illustrates the popular will which
has already been expressed.
I'VE hope that everything will
come out all right, but we are pre-
pared for any emergency. Whatever
the situation is, we will meet it with
the proper action"
1t was rumored that the Roosevelt
followers have obtained an option on
the first regiment armory here, an
action which is believed to indicate
that the colonel's supporters are pre-
pared to bolt the national convention
if necessary.

viding for an elective legislature for

tariff for political discussion rather
than have them settled by Legislative
acton.
