Ambitions and Needs
of Ashland District

River valley as q whole, as we'll as
Ashland.
NUMBERING AND ALLIED
INDUSTRIES:
Jackson county is near the head
Of the list of Oregon counties in
standing timber, but has but two
sawmills in operation and few fac
tories to care for lumber products.
Investigation and investment along
these lines is needed.
Power is cheap and plentiful. Liv-
ing conditions are better and cheap
er for labor than in present indus
trial centers Of the state.
CARE OF SURPLUS FRUIT:
Caring for our fruit is one Of
our chief worries. Marketing of
varieties suitable for shipping re-
quires cooperation from all sides.
A dehydrating plant is needed.
Additional canning facilities are
needed.
Fruit by the scores of tons has
gone to waste this year because
no means of canning. preserving or
drying 1t were available.
CROSS STATE HIGHWAY:
With the contracts let for grad
ing Of the Ashland-Klamath Falls
road, the first of many steps has
been taken to build "cross-state"
highway, which, in lieu Of a railroad
which should come soon after, will
be Of inestimable benefit to not the
Rogue river valley alone, but to
Portland, the Willamette valley and
southeastern Oregon. We need tho
cooperation of the state at large in
pushing to completion road from
the coast, through the Rogue VAL
ley, to Klamath Falls and on to the
Idaho line. In commercial way
this highway will develop a new
market for district which has been
served mainly by te California CEN
ters. Ashland will directly benefit
by the opening of a market for fruit
and by the placing Of her resorts In
availability to the Klamath district.
SCHOOLS:
Ashland, as 1t is an ideal home
town, is an ideal location for high
er institutions of learning, none OF
which now exist in Southern Ore
gon or Northern California.
The attention of all visiting South
ern Pacific officials Is directed to the
architectually magnificent and ele-
gantly appointed s. p. station at
Ashland.

(The following statement is print
ed at the request of Ashland Post
No. IA, American Legion.)
At the regular monthly meeting
of Ashland Post, No. IA, American
Legion, held Tuesday evening at the
armory, a resolution was passed
condemning the Pacific Record-Her-
aid, newspaper published in Med
ford, for the publication Of an ar
ticle which the Legion deemed un-
American and for failing to print Il
satisfactory explanation of the pub
lication OF the article.
The article appeared on Septem-
ber IS. The Ashland Post carefully
investigated all of the circumstances
surrounding it's publication insofar
as information could be obtained
Editor Earl Fehl Of the Pacific Rec
ord Herald was invited to be pres
ent at a meeting of the Ashland Post
and was given full opportunity to
explain the attitude of himself and
his paper. Resolutions were passed
and an explanation such as would be
satisfactory to the Ashland Post, for.
warded to Mr.. Fehl. Either Mr.. Fehl
his lawyer, Mr.. Newman, or some
one else connected with the publica-
tion, made changes in the explana,
tion before printing It and as 1t ap
peared it was. in the opinion Of the
Legion, evasive and a failure as far
as any clear-cut and satisfactory ex.
planation was concerned. The pres
ident, vice-president, secretary and
q member of the executive committe,
called upon Mr.. Fehl and Mr.. New.
mn at the latters office in Medford
seeking to find the reasons for tht
changes in the explanation and ;
definite statement of the paper
stand. Mr.. Fehl and Mr.. Newman
both stated that in their opinion tn,

to make concessions of any kind t,
the Ashland Posts requests, AM
stated that as far as they were con
cerned the matter was closed.

Resolution

Whereas, the American Legion Is
an organization which has among its
objects the fostering of 100 per cent
Americanism, and
Whereas, the Pacific-Reco Her
aid, a weekly newspaper of the
county Of Jackson, did print and pub
lish on September 1S, 1919, in its
columns a certain article entitled
"Y-Worker's Views" which article
was deemed by the members of the
American Legion, Post No. IA, as ex-
pressing un-American sentiments,
and further, was deemed an improp-
er article to publish by any Ameri-
can paper, even though such publ
cation be accompanied by a disclaim-
er OF accordance with the views ex-
pressed therein, and
Whereas, Said Pacific Record
Herald was given a chance to ex-
plain their error in printing such
publication but printed an evasive
and unsatisfactory explanation and
have resented the further action OF
the local post of the American Le-
gion in suggesting that a clear ex-
planation be given to the public, and
have refused to treat in any further
manner with the Legion,
Now Therefore, Be It Resolved,
By the members OF the Ashland Post,
No. IA, American Legion, in regular
meeting assembled, that the action of
the Pacific Record-Herald manage
ment In printing the said article is
no consistent with the principles in
tended to be upheld by the Ameri-
can Legion, nor is II consistent with
that high standard of Americanism
that is intended to be fostered by the
American Legion, and that the print
ing OF said article is condemned by
the local post, and that the members
Of the Ashland Post No. IA withdraw
their support from the said Pacific
Record Herald until an explanation
Of the printing Of said article is Civ
en- to the public which is satisfac-
tory to the members OF the said
Post No. II.

RESORT DEVELOPMENT.

Ashland feels that with the foun-
dation of Lithia park, than which
there is no more beautiful natural
park in America, soda, sulphur and
the famous Lithia springs owned
and developed by the city and made
accessible in Lithia park; an all
year-round climate of mild and equi-
table nature with no extreme heat,
cold or fog, and sunshine practical
ly every day in the year; with the
city's beautiful location and natural
adaptiveness to resort development;
with its location midway between
population centers of Oregon and
California, on the main highway of
both railroad and motor travel; with
three routes to Crater Lake (Rogue
river, Dead Indian, and Klamath)
branching from the highway near
this city; with Mount Ashland, the
Marble Caves, Lake of the Woods
and scores of other scenic points of
interest within a short automobile
drive; with fine fishing and hunt
ing available nearby; and many like
features, that Ashland should be-
come q mineral water and mountain
resort second to none.

fact that there were originally three
infantry regiments here, while the new
organization will have only two. The
batteries will absorb the excess and
provide an opportunity for those who
prefer that branch.

FIVE BILLIONS TO
RUN NATION IN 1921
Largest Sum Ever Sought by
Federal Departments for a
Peace Year.

Washington.-The record 81 ,OOO,-
100000 Congresses of ordinary peace
times faded into the past when Secre-
tary Glass, presenting the annual es-
Inmates, proposed appropriations of
virtually $5,000,00,O00 for conducting
the peace-time activities of the govern
ment during the fiscal year 1921. Ac-
cording to these figures it will cost
more than five. times as much to con-
duct the peace-time affairs of govern
ment as it did in the year Immediately
preceding the world war.
The greatest individual estimates
for expenditures, of course, go to the
army and the navy. The yearly inter
est on the war debt, however, is ST.
OH, 100000, which sum alone is great
er than all the appropriations for all
purposes whatsoever of any peace
time Congress.
All in all, the estimates Justify the
predictions made on the floor of Con-
greSS during consideration of the war
tax bills that the present generation
would not see the government conduct
ed at an expense Of less than $4,000
100000 a year.
The estimated appropriations for the
principal government departments
were presented as follows:
Legislative Congress-. $9,025, 1925
Executive (White House
and government de-
partmenO ........... .149, II l, ,463.77

Public works .......... .273, 1921 ,S1O,1T
miscellaneous ...-..... 500, IL ,O3 ,StI
Foreign intercourS 11,243, 2oO.9i
The total of all estimates, including
some comparatively minor items not
included in the foregoing, is $4,S6J,-
410,031.6 the greatest sum ever
asked of any Congress when the coun-
try was not actually at war.
The billion dollar estimate for the
army includes $SJ000,O00 for the Ma
tional Guard. The S542 100000 esti-
mate for the navy includes provision
for the program of increase. The
$273, 100000 public works estimate in
cludes the Panama canal, reclamation
projects, rivers and harbor improve
ment, public buildings and also mill
tary works, arsenals and Notifications.
The estimates for miscellaneous eX-
penditureS contain some tremendous
sums For the treasury department
more than S247, 100000 is asked, which
! goes largely to the enforcement of
prohibition and collection of income,
| corporation and excess profit taxes.
