will be well paid for. AS rule he
is not himself an officeseeker, be-
cause experience has convinced him
that it is more profitable to pull the
strings on those in office than to
have the place himself. Consequent
ly, extravagant and wasteful govern
ment and high taxes are more the
result of hidden" political manipu-
lation than direct corruption or dere-
LECTION on the part of the official in
cumbent. 1t is a brave official who
will defy the political boss who can
destroy his political chances at will.
The Ashland Tidings is an inde-
pendent republican paper. That Is,
it advocates republican principles al
ways, and party organization and
candidates only when such organiza-
tion stands for those principles and
its candidates are truly representa-
tive of the best policies of the party.
When the organization ceases to rep
resent republican principles and goes
out for pelf and spoils it is the duty
of every republican to rebuke it even
though by so doing the party fails in
its supremacy. Better have the par
ty defeated than corrupted. When
candidates are nominated more likely
to respond to the boss than the peo-
pie, they should be defeated
But, it is better to make the fight
for clean domination within the party
whenever that is possible. There
fore, the first fight should be always
in the primary. Machine domination
is always and eternally dangerous.
Politicians do not manipulate for
principle when by so doing they may
lose the pap. Machines are built up
and maintained on spoils. The spoils
system is expensive to the taxpayer
and does not produce efficient gov
ernment.
Under the Oregon system the rank
and file Of a party may dominate If
proper attention is given to registra-
tion and voting at the party pri-

MUCH INTEREST ABROAD.

The following from East Hill Road,
East Milton, Mass, shows that the
southern Oregon attractions are gain
ing wide attention all over the United
States. The letter reads:
81 shall be in Oregon in July and
wish to visit the Marble Halls of Ore
gon as well as Ashland's lithia
springs. want to know the name Of
the best hotel in Ashland and a full
description Of the trip to the caves,
the length of time to make the trip
and the amount of walking neces-
sary. Can you give me this informa-
tion?"
We answered the Hotel Oregon is
the best in southern Oregon. The
trip to the caves can be made easily
going to the foot OF the mountain
from Ashland one afternoon in about
three hours, then taking pack horse
the next day, doing the caves and
returning to the foot Of the mountain,
and from there by auto to Ashland in
the evening.
In our reply we have anticipated

THE REFUNDING MATTER.

Now that the refunding bonds have
been voted down, the matter should
not be let drop. The city is now pay
ing six per cent interest on $4,000
optional bonds which may be paid at
any time. If these can be refunded
into a bond bearing a lower rate il
is good business to do so.
The state OF the municipal bond
market is especially good at this time.
High-grade municipal bonds, such as
our refunding bonds would be, should
bring par for a four and one-half per
cent twenty-five-year bond, and if Of
fered for bids no doubt would bring
that and the purchaser would supply
the blank bonds necessary without
cost. 1t is possible, under the pres
ent brisk demand for municipals, that
a small premium might be offered
even for a four and one-half per cent
bond.
Therefore it seems to the Tidings
that it would be good business for the
city to advertise to bond houses that
1t proposed to refund forty-five thou
sand Of Ashland bonds into a new
twenty-five-year issue and ask the
lowest rate at which any of them
would be willing to take the new issue
at par. These bids can be secured
before the election is held and con-
tingent contract entered into with the
lowest bidder so that citizens may be
fully apprised OF the rate at the time
they vote.
We think it highly advantageous to
the city to refund the proposed issues
and should favor such move.

maries. At the primaries candidates
are nominated and party committee
men elected. Those who believe in
party organization should attend the
primaries and see that proper candi-
dates are nominated and county COM
mitteemen elected who will hold
party principle above greed and
graft.
Tomorrow is the last day for regis
tration. In another column we print
a map showing the precincts and a
list of the registrars for each dis
trict. Look at the map and see what
precinct you are in and where to
register. Then go and register TO-
DAY. 1T IS THE LAST CHANCE
BEFORE THE PRIMARIES.

REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.

The Tidings freely confesses il
thinks little OF the Cannon and Bur
ton type OF republicanism. That type
represents GEAR rule" in party or
ganization and control as well as in
dominating congressional action. 1t
stands for hidden hand" and "invis-
ible government" rule. That type
represents about 20 per cent of the
republican party. We can see no
reason why so per cent Of party
should supinely give way to arbitrary
control by 20 per cent minority.
In the United States over so per cent
OF republican voters are OF the pro-
gressive type. Why should they give
way to the dominating influence OF
the 20 per cent in the nominating con-
vention? The progressives should 90
into the primaries and choose presi-
Dental electors and put men on the
national republican committee who
represent their party sentiments.
There is absolutely no reason why an
so per cent majority should allow a
20 per cent minority to control and
prostitute the republican organiza-
tion.
There will be absolutely no COM
promise'of republican differences and
no party unity so long as the organ
ization Is in the hands Of the reaction
ary element. Republicans can see lit
tie advantage in so-called republican
reactionary domination over demo-
cratic domination. Both look alike
10 them. Meth represents the pro-
gressiye idea OF republicansm. Pro-
gressives simply insist that the repub-
lican party shall be dominated and
controlled by the voting units that
constitute It, not by few self-ap-
pointed political bosses VINO ilnd more
profit in giving their time to party
control than employing it in CONNER
cial pursuits.
Unfortunately the reactionary ele-
ment Of the republican party are in
control Of the party organization in
Jackson county. More than 80 pei
cent OF the republican voting strength
in Jackson county is progressive. II
there is to be a party organization
why should not the progressive ele-
ment Of the party dominate II?
This matter should be fought out
within the party. The party pri-
maries is the time and place to do 1t.

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER.

A partisan newspaper is expected
always to represent the views and de-
sires of its party organization, right
or wrong. An Independent paper
claims no such obligation. Its duty
rather is to represent its reading con-
stituency against wrongful aggression
by all party organizations. When
either party organization, or all party
organizations, fail to champion the
interest of the taxpayer, it is the duty
of an independent newspaper to insist
that such organization right the
wrong and conform in its manipula
tion to wholesome public policy. That
is a great responsibility. An inde-
pendent republican paper should
stand for party principles, but not
necessarily for corrupt party control.
The tendency of party organization
for many years back has been toward
boss rule. Party expendiency has
been the ruling thought, and expedi-
ency with the boss has meant not
more or less than party success.
Thousands Of men make partisanship
and political manipulation a business
give all their time and thought to
it-and rise to party power only be-
cause the average man turns his at
tention to commercial pursuits and
has not the time to give to the politi-
cal game. The party boss plays poll
tics every hour of every day and
usually manipulates 80 that his time
