Ashland Fav0rite
Site For Hospital

The arrival Of Colonel L. P. Maus,
department surgeon of the western
department Of the u. S. army, in
Portland, has loosened the rumor
that the government is looking for q
site on the Pacific coast for general
military hospital for the rehabilita-
ton Of men who will return from
Europe as the war continues. In con-
nection with this report F. ]. Shinn,
secretary of the Commercial club,
mailed Col Maus some of the litera-
ture pertaining to Ashland mineral
springs advantages, together with
photographs of Lithia park and vari-
Gus scenic views in this section with
view to notifying him that Ashland
is on the map as one of the most de-
sirable locations for a soldiers con-
valescent hospital anywhere on the
western coast.
In reply to Mr.. Shinn's letter Col
Maus stated that it is the govern
ment's intention to. establish convel-
escent hospitals in different parts OF
the United States, and it is possible
that If suitable inducements we're Of

Bows Grateful For
Service Rendered

That the boys aboard the troor
trains that passed through Ashland
last week and were fed here are ap-
preciative of the attention paid them
while in this city is demonstrated by
the following letter addressed to the
citizens of Ashland, in care Of the
mayor, which arrived Monday.
Camp Lewis, May 2, 1918.
"To the Citizens of Ashland, Greet
ings: Having been appointed COM
mittee of one in behalf of the boys of
local board No. 2, Alameda county,
California, (Hayward), to express
our appreciation of your kind treat
ment, and also the fine dinner and
the manner in which it was given.
1--WE had a most enjoyable time at
our dinner which you had given us
on April 30, and we enjoyed it i'm
mensely. Thanking you again for
your kindness, l sincerely express
our thanks.
Respectfully and cordially yours,
First Leader Frank L. Smith"
This is followed by long list of
names of the company, and goes to
show that the boys the grateful for
the services given them during their
stay in Ashland.

further stated in his letter. IT have

before and have always remembered
the valley as a beautiful country. l

Because United States Senator
Charles L. McNary has made good
le should be nominated to succeed
himself in the republican primary,
May 18th.
From the day he became senator
he has Loyalty championed the prose-
sution Of the war, and during his
term of office has accomplished more
for Oregon than any other member
in congress in like period
Among his colleagues he is known
as "the man ON the job, and during
the present war crisis Oregon should
consider itself fortunate in having an
opportunity to return him and not be
compelled to send to Washington a
new, unframed man
Believing that the supreme obli-
cation he owes his country is to help
win the war Senator McNary, in
stead of returning to his state to con-
duct a political campaign, is at his
post in Washington working for Ore
gon and aiding in the prosecution
Of the war.
Always since entering the senate
he has been a friend of our soldiers
and sailors and has introduced legis-
lation giving them preferential home
stead rights and repeatedly champion
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1918-05-09

ed their cause when their welfare wai
in jeopardy.
Championing the cause of Oregon
farmers, Senator McNary procured
for them a primary wheat market,
saving thereby several million dol
lars to the wheatgrowers Of the
northwest.
Realizing the present food control
law fails to fix prices for many COM
modities, Senator McNary has intro
duced, and is laboring for the pass
age of bill, striking at profiteer-
ing and fixing prices Oh the neces-
saries of life.
Senator McNary has procured:
Government contracts for the first
time in the states history for Ore
gon products, such as prunes, dehy-
drated potatoes and vegetables in
large quantities.
Large government contracts for
army clothing and shipbuilding yards.
Favorable action by the senate
committee on irrigation on bill pro-
viding for the government marketing
of district irrigation bonds thereby
supplying funds for irrigation prof.
ects.
Favorable action from same COM
mite on a bill authorizing the secre-
tary of the interior to accept irri-
cation or drainage district bonds and
exchange them with the secretary OF
the treasury for certificates of in.
debtedness, thereby providing funds
for legimate products.
Senator McNary is working.
For prompt payments of allotments
to dependent relatives of our soldiers
and sailors.
For the construction of a coast
military highway at government ex-
pense.
A comprehensive plan for the utili-
zation of the water resources Of Ore
gon.
An aviation training station al
Medford.
Senator McNary was born on a
farm in Oregon; reared in the Bap-
tist church; educated in the public
schools; worked his way through
Stanford university; is a lawyer and
farmer and has been lifelong re-
publican. He was formerly a justica
on the. supreme court and later chair
man of the State Republican Central
committee.
Space forbids further enumeration
of the vast amount of work Senator
McNary has done for Oregon, but any
one will realize from the foregoing
the senator has displayed truly re.
markable ability, coupled with ex'
traordinary diligence and energy. His
native state can best show its appre
citation of his faithful and efficient
services by nominating and electing
him.

Wanted Ashland To
Have Subscription

In the report of the subscriptions
to the Third Liberty loan the $5,-
600 should have been credited to w.
6. Sanderson instead of w. G. Saund-
ers. Mr.. Sanderson was a former
we'll known Ashland man who resides
now in Petaluma, Cal. His interests
in Ashland are still as great as when
he lived here, and he desired that
his Liberty loan subscription should
be made from this city.

SPARTACUS GROUP LOOKS
TO RETURNING SOLDIERS
Bolsheviki Trained in Moscow Are
Conducting Campaign in Ger
many, It Is Believed.
BY BAssETT DIGBY. 1,

BY BASSETT DIGBY.
Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden. December T.
The Spartacus group Of extremists in
Germany. according to reports received
here, are concentrating their efforts
upon gaining support among the re-
turning soldiers. They shower the
men with Russian money as soon as
they enter the country, at the same
time assuring them that a counter
revolution is brewing. 1t is supposed
that bolsheviki trained in Moscow
for the purpose are now in charge of
the campaign in Germany and are
trying to stir up a mob opinion like
that which Lenin utilized in Russia.
My own careful Investigations con-
firm my previous opinion that not
one person in fifty in Germany is a
bolshevist and that there is little
chance of the bolsheviki being found
in control of the people in general
Yet there is danger because OF the po
tentiality for damage by armed boil
shevikf minorities who, because Of
the fact that they are organized and
equipped with arms, may terrorize
the majority of the people.
In the meanwhile, as In Russia ana
Sweden, these German bolsheviki are
made up of boys and young men who
have been doing heavy and badly
paid work in factories, mines and
iron works. Naturally professional
criminals flock to them in consider
able numbers, as these degenerates
are always enthusiastic for war upon
society. The professional classes,
shopmen, farmers and country peas
ants constituting the great majority
bolshevism. nor do the majority of
the factory workers who have out
grown their lack of mental balance.
Apart from handful of cranks and
crook leaders it is nearly impossible
to find a bolshevik who is as much
as thirty years old.

that of the citizens Of the average In
dustria, commercial American city ap-
proximating washington in SHE. loca-
ton and general conditions.
The figures which have been given
show that Washihgton's, per capita
tax burden. instead of being below the
average, is distinctly above 1t: that
the few among comparable cities
which exceed it in tax burden exceed
it only slightly; and that many cities
which ought to bear and are able to
bear q far heavier burden fall below
1t, even when standards Of comparison
are employed which in effect imply
the unfair taxation Of the Washing
tonian for what he does not get.

New Intangibles Tax.

washington's personality tax bur-
den was comparatively light until the
recent imposition of a tax on intan-
gible property, which added a mill
