excessive burden in the way of taxes.
The California-Oregon Power Com
pany is another great corporation that
looks carefully into bonding PROPOSE
tions and schemes that increase taxes.
It not only endorses this project but
agrees to donate tract of land to
the city park system and also free
electric current to operate the pump
ing plant. Both of these corporations
probably see visions of increased pop
ulation and business to justify their
generosity. They aren't pipe dream
ers."
G. S. Butler and D. Perozzi are
both shrewd and successful business
men-yet they donate tract of land
worth several thousand dollars to the
project. Are they carried away by
mirage that will increase their taxes
and yield no returns? Why is nearly
every big taxpayer in the city in favor
of the bonds-whereas most of them
have fought bonds in the past? Is it
not because they believe it means
something more to them than in
creased taxes.
The individual has every reason to
believe that the increase of taxes will
be nothing to him as compared to the
advantages that the Ashland Mineral
Springs Project will bring to him.

Individual Cost.

In considering the proposed Min
eral Springs bond issue the annual
cost to the individual taxpayer is a
matter of much interest and one
which is greatly magnified in the
minds of many people who have not
stopped to figure the matter out. The
fact of the matter is that the bond
issue even under present conditions
would be no overwhelming burden
and under the better conditions which
are sure to follow, it will not be felt
by the individual.
The bonds draw five per cent inter
est. This means that $3.50 interest
will be to pay every year The tax
able valuation of Ashland is a trifle
over 100000. A three-miIl levy
on this would raise $9O00-a trifle
more than enough to pay the interest.
In other words, if your property is
assessed at $1,000 you will pay three
dollars per year toward the interest
on these bonds.
Nothing is to be paid on the prin-
cipal for ten years-which will GER
tainly give ample time for the project
to bring in extra dollars and extra
citizens to help meet the indebted.
ness. The payment of the bonds is
strung out over period of forty-five
years. The first years interest is tc
be set aside out of the bond issue
this giving time for the project tC
begin bringing in results before the
taxpayer is called upon even for in
terest. Setting the first years inter
est aside is made possible by the fact
that several generous gifts have al
ready been promised the projec
whereby money is saved on the esti
mated cost.
I The fact that big taxpayers like the
Southern Pacific Company are no
only willing to pay their share of thu
taxes but to donate thousands of dol
lars worth of advertising, should in
duce the small taxpayer to believe
that the project is not only a feasibl,
one but also one that does not NEAR

Charles Barnette Wolf on Benefits
From Springs Development
The Bond Election.

Tuesday OF next week the citizens
OF Ashland will vote on the issue of
auxiliary water bonds in the sum of
$175,O00 as per the election call pub
lished elsewhere in this paper. The
election call states plainly the object
for which the bonds are designed to
raise money-a,so the places of vot-
ing and the judges OF election etc.
In these matters it is only necessary
to read the call TO become advised on
the subject.
Elsewhere in this issue OF the Ash
land Record will also be found the
call for another election at which ii
Is designed to amend the charter of
the city of Ashland, provide for the
handling OF the money by a special
commission, elect commissioners, de-
fine their duties and prerogatives
etc.
If it be argued that these matters
have been hurried" it should be
borne in mind that haste is necessary
not only because Ashland must be
on the map as a full-fledged mineral
springs resort before Panama-Pacific
Exposition traffic begins next year,
but because her aims and intentions
along that line must be decided at
once if the city is to avail itself of
the splendid offer made by the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
to exploit Ashland in all its vast and
far-reaching literature-on which the
presses must start early in July of
this year.
As the citizen of Ashland enters
the voting booth next Tuesday this
paper feels that he stands at fork
ing of the road in the history of Ash
land progress. 1t will be his to
choose, on that day, whether Ashland
shall follow the fork that leads TO
fame and prosperity or the fork that
leads to obscurity and bare existence.
The hours between nine o'clock in
the morning and six in the evening
on Tuesday, June ninth, 1914, will
therefore be a crucial period for Ash
land. The Record believes the carry
ing of the bond issue means the dawn
of new epoch from which will date
many good things.

Effect on Industry.

If you are in doubt as to what is
Ashlands mission in the world we
would ask if it should not be to de-
velop that in which she is least in
competition with the rest of the
world-her climate and scenery and
waters. In these no city in the world
can successfully compete with her.
They require no shipping facilities,
as do cattle or farm products or
fruits. They do not peter" out like
a mine-they are inexhaustible-
you market them year after year and
still have them. They are far more
tangible than the evanescent hope of
railroad boom.
Hopes OF mining, fruit raising ag-
riculture, manufacturing, railroad
business-in fact every prospective
industfy-will reach fruition much
quicker if Ashland is made a resort
city than they ever will If she does
nothing to make herself a city. The
people who come for health and find
it will develop our gold mines, our
quarries, our pottery, clay deposits
our coal mines, our timber resources.
Their sons will do it If they do not.
Agriculture will flourish on our
idle acres if you build city for the
consumption of the products of the
soil. Every fruit orchard in the Ash
land district will pay out when we
provide ii with a market for it's crop
and get people here who will put up
the canneries and drieries and pre-
serveries and picking works that
they need to work up their culls, and
the irrigation systems that are need
ed on the hills. The small rancher
will find stock and poultry raising
profitable when he has local mar
ket for his dairy products and his
butcher stuff.
In that day too you will have all
the factories that the city and COM
munity are capable of sustaining and
these will help to give you the pay
roll you so much desire. And in that
day-when Ashland is twice or thrice
or ten times her present size-even
the railroad may succumb and we
will have railroad shops and street
railways and activity along automo-
bile lines that we can never hope for
II we continue trying to build city
along lines that have been followed
for the past sixty years. In that day
your sons can find employment at
home instead of going out into the
world or becoming loafers.
Do you say this should be city
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-06-04

of homes and schools and churches?
Then let's make it one. At present
we have homes handicapped for ex-
istence. We have public schools like
any other city of the size-perhaps
a trifle better We have churches
sixteen or so of them-struggling for
existence with poor congregations
and poor buildings. Give them dou-
BILE the population and you double
their income and their opportunity
for doing good. Make Ashland city
of homes and schools and churches
in reality as we'll as in name, and you
can demand and get higher institu-
tions of learning to locate in your
city

A. f. Hunt of Portland veil
known cattleman and former resident
of Ashland-was in the city last week
and was very emphatic in his approval
Of Ashland Mineral Springs Project
declaring that if Ashland boosters
had any doubt of its success they
should canvass the town from house
to house and educate the people on
it. He says he has heard commenda-
tion on the project from Seattle to
the Mexican border and that in his
opinion it is one of the greatest
things that has been started on the
coast. He declares he will come to
Ashland to live if the project succeeds
as he believes it will. Mr.. Hunt
passed through the city for the north
Monday evening of this week with
nine cars of fine beef cattle which he
bought at Willows California and un-
loaded here for rest and feed.

One of the oldest suggestions we
have heard in regard to the mineral
springs project was made by a tax
payer the other day. He wanted to
know why we couldn't pipe in one

garoo in and if it drew a crowd go
