Ashland -MedfOrd Tax
Assessment Discussed

committee from both Medford and
Ashland to the effect that the en-
gineer was making a serious mistake
in refusing TO use discretion in the
matter of the Pacific Highway and
knows very little about the condi-
tions prevailing here. 1t was consid-
cred that the wishes of the people OF
this county who have to pay the bills
should be considered by the court
rather than the wishes of the state
engineer, whose only interest is to
complete the work This seemed to
be the general opinion,
The matter of laying the Pacific
Highway through the Billings tract
was discussed ut some length. The
committee from Ashland took the po-
sition that il seemed to be the inten-
tion OF the state engineer, assisted
by one or more of the newspapers oc
the county, to make the city of Ash
land the goat" to bear the ridicuIe
incident to a possible failure of the
completion OF the Pacific Highway
within the limits of the bond issue.
II was proposed that the committee
as whole should 20 personally upon
the grounds and examine for them
selves as to whether they approved
or dlsapproved tho dictum of the
state engineer to the effect that the
Pacific Highway must pass through
the Billings tract or work on the
/ highway would cease at the Billings
place. Having examined on the line
of the survey, the following resolu-
ton was offered and unanimously
adopted
BE il resolved by the tax commit.
tees of Ashland and Medford in ses-
sion assembled, that having, on the
ground, examined the proposed cut
on the Pacific Highway at the Bill
1lngs place near Ashland. that we
unanimously agree that ii is not ad-
visable to make such cut, for the
reason that such cut would be very
expensive and fully If not more dan
gerous than the present railroad
crossing; that the benefits of the pros
posed cut would not Justify the eS-
penses incident thereto"
The meeting was very harmonious
and resulted in better understand
ing between some OF the leading men
of the two cities.

Local Militia May
Not See Service

In the event troops are called for
in the present crisis with Mexico, it
is doubtful if the local military boys
will be called upon to 90 to the front.
AS eight OF the Oregon companies are
in the coast defense, service there
would be little for them to do unless
transferred to the artillery branch of
the service.
A transfer would hardly occur un-
less it was found necessary to make
calls in addition TO the regular artil-
lery service of the states.
The local military men do not look
forward TO the smell of smoke or
hearing the cannon roar.

Will 0rgpniZe Men
For Social Hygiene

Conference of representative men
of Ashland, Friday, May /, at 8 p. m.
This conference is upon such vital
subject that it will cross all political
and religious lines for men.
The campaign is upon a statewide
basis. Oregon is leading in this con-
structive work and our community
must do its part to maintain their
leadership.
Sooner or later problems of social
hygiene confront every one of us.
A careful discussion of the subject
and a source of reliable information
should appeal to every parent partic-
ularly.
This question OF social hygiene is
one that reaches down into mankind
far more deeply than any of our seri-
Gus problems. Before real progress
can be made in its solution mothers
and fathers will have to appreciate
the seriousness and the far-reaching
effects.
False modesty and prudery will
have to be banished and men and
women will have to face facts equally
important to both.
Physicians will tell the people that
more sickness and suffering are
caused from sexual vice and its ram
ifications than from any other cause
The responsibility rests with moth
ers and fathers. Shall we not realize
our responsibility and gladly cooper
ate in the solution of the problem?

County Assessor Grieve, owing to
the many complaints about the in
equalities in assessments, concluded
that this year he would call upon the
citizens of the various towns to meet
with the local assessor for the pur-
pose of discussing with him the rela-
tive values of the real property. The
following constituted the committee
appointed to advise with the assessor
in the city of Ashland: h. T. Sta
pies, G.. S. Butler, +. d. Briggs, ID.
Perozzi, Fred Wagner, A. Il. Kinney,
Mayor Johnson, G. +. Billings and
II. G.. Enders. This committee has
met a number of times and Is practi-
cally through with its work. For the
city of Medford the following COM
mittee was appointed: DR.. Keene,
Bert Anderson, Garnett and S. s.
Smith. That committee has also met
and has practically completed its
work.
Friday afternoon the joint commit
tees of the two cities met AT the
Commercial Club room in Ashland to
compare the assessments in the two
cities. h. T. Staples 81 Ashland acted
as chairman. The deputy assessor
from Medford was in attendance with
his books and o. Winter, the deputy
assessor for Ashland, was also pres
ent with his books and plats.
1t was agreed by the joint commit
tee that the assessments on the resi-
dence property in the two cities was
nearly as correct as practicable, but
as to the business sections OF the two
cities there was difference of
opinion, and 1t was conceded by
many that the rate of assessment on
the business lots in Medford was too
high, and on motion 1t was decided
that the committee from Medford
should take the matter into consider
alton and revise such assessments.
There was considerable discussion
on various matters affecting taxation.
All agreed that il was necessary that
retrenchment in expenditures should
be made on the part of all county,
municipal and state affairs. and all
pledged themselves to use their influ-
ence to bring about such result IL
was suggested and the suggestion
received favorable consideration, that
there should be meetings of the citi-
zens of the county at frequent inter
walls to discuss the welfare of the
county and make proper suggestions
to the county officials along these
lines.
The matter OF the Pacific Highway
also received some attention. Re-
marks were made by members Of the

MEXICO AT ONCE
Warning to Auto
Drivers From Chief

Drivers of autos and vehicles of all
kinds are warned not to exceed the
speed limit of fifteen miles an hour
at any time. Violations will be pros
ecuted and fined $25 for each Of
fense. The city fire truck is permit
ted to exceed the limit when going to
fires, therefore any auto going at the
same rate of speed or in excess of
that OF the fire truck is violating the
law. When a fire alarm is sounded
all vehicles must be stopped until the
truck passes.
1t CHIEF PORTER.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-04-20

Chief Porter says almost every auto
going TO the fires in the last few
alarms have been subject to arrest
and fine Of $25 for exceeding the
speed limit. This must stop and in
future no favorites will be over
looked. Passing the truck and rum
ming two or three abreast behind the
truck is pastime for some drivers.
The fire truck is allowed to so be-
yond the speed limit, as we'll as Of
ficers in the discharge of duty, but
all private citizens are subject to a
fine. So look out, or Chief Porter
will get you.

Washington, April 20.-President
Wilson addressed congress this morn
ing at II o'clock, asking that discre-
tionary power be Invested in the pres
ident in dealing with the Mexican sit
uation, The passage of a resolution
was taken up Immediately after the
noon recess and was discussed freely
upon the floor of the senate and
house. While there is no question
but the position of President Wilson
meets the approval of almost every
member of congress, there is wide
difference of opinion as to the proper
course to pursue.
President Wilson made it plain he
did not desire war to be declared, but
desired to establish peaceful
blockade" against Mexico.
1t is made clear that the movement
of America is not against Mexico, but
rather against Huerta and his pro-
visional government.
At o'clock a recess was taken, but
little doubt is expressed that the res
olution will be passed today.

their ears. When the young couple,
both are in their teens, left the car
the fellows followed and continued
their remarks, finally one struck IN
derson from behind and he was forced
to defend himself and in the fracas
ne cut one of the white men named
charles M. Doran in the abdomen

girl were both arrested by the police,
and were kept at the stations until
Friday when Anderson was placed on
trial in the police court, and he was
placed under $500 bonds to await the
condition of Doran. It was an un-
called for and outrageous proceeding
on the part of the young men who at.
taxed Anderson and he was justified
