BEN c. SHELDON
THROWS HAT IN
RING FOR SENATE

Confirming an understanding pre-.
vailing in local political circles for
some time, Ben c. Sheldon OF Med
ford today stated that he had defln.
itely made up his mind to be a can
didate for the state senate at the
coming May primaries.
Senator Thomas has announced
that he will be candidate for the
circuit BENCH" said Mr.. Sheldon.
Mr. colleague in the house of rep
resentatives, Mr.. Carter, has in
formed me that he will not be a can
didate for any office this year. I'm
der these circumstances | have ac-
cepted the suggestion of a number
of prominent republicans of the
county and decided to file for the
state senate"
Mr.. Sheldon's statement is the
first definite announcement of a
candidacy for the legislative delega-
tion from this county. Besides the
senator there are two representa-
tives to be elected. There is quite
general disposition to concede one
of these places to an Ashland man.
1t is understood that Ashland peo-
pie are particularly interested in a
candidate for the county court, but
in all likelihood they will also hav
candidate for the legislature; tn.
other place going to a man from
Medford or the northern end of the
county.
Should Mr.. Sheldon be elected to
the senate it will be in the nature
of promo tion from the position Of
representative which he now holds.
Also, If elected, he will be the only
member of the county's present leg
islative delegation to be at the next
session. He has been a resident Of
Jackson county for Is years, is a
farmer and fruit grower, owns and
operates ranch about three miles
east of Central Point, and owns a
farm near Talent. He has also been
active in the civic affairs of Med.
ford.
During his service in the legfsla-
ture, Mr.. Sheldon has given particu-
lar attention to legislation concern.
ing farming and horticulture, school
legislation and the matters especial
ly affecting Jackson county. During
the late session he was one of the
men who defeated the plan of levy
ing a $3,00O,OOO tax on the prop
erty of the state for fair at Port
land in 1925, and he voted against
the substitute plan of raising that
$3,000,000 by tax on gasoline.

BIRTHS AGAIN IN
EXCESS OF DEATHS

DR.. F. G. Swedenburg, secretary
of the board Of health, reports that
the birth rate is again exceeding the
death rate as shown by the statistics
for the past year, there being 81
deaths and 1O4 births in Ashland.
Records for a few years previous
are as follows:
In 1920 there was SO deaths and
113 births; in 1919, SO deaths and
so births; 1918, 101 deaths and 6S
births; 1917 with 1O2 deaths and
80 births; 1916 with "A deaths and
rs births.
1t is indeed good to know that the
balance has again changed in favor
of births, for when the death rate
exceeds the birth rate, 1t is de-
cidedly discouraging for the future
of our country, and long period
with the death rate holding the best
of the scales would undoubtedly
bring about dire results.
DR.. Swedenburg has served as Sec
retary of the board of health for IA
years and has a set Of records as
such that he is justly proud Of.

Soldiers Bonus =.
Amendment Be-
fore u. S. Senate

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "a
The long delayed ."five way" soldier
bonus bill was offered in the senate
today by Senator Simmons as an
amendment to the pending foreign
debt funding bill.
The bill provides that the soldier
bonus be financed with whatever in
terest may be collected on the for
eign debt until such time as the
principal can be made available by
issuance of foreign bonds.
Simmons move brought the bon
us squarely before the senate again.
which was in conflict with the re-
publican program of passing the for
eign debt bill before acting upon the
soldiers bonus.

MEDF0RD, Jan. 23.-Attorney
Gus Newberry of this city will file
for circuit judge at the spring pri-
mary, according to an announcement
today and with Charles NJ. Thomas,
makes two avowed candidates for
the position. Other names lurk in
the background, including Attorney
H. D. Norton Of Grants Pass, as the
entry on the democratic ticket. No
official announcement of the entry
of Norton in the race has been made,
and 1t is generally conceded that
the race on the republican ticket is
between Newberry and Thomas.
Friends of Councilman T. w. Miles
are urging him to enter the race, but
he flatfootedly refuses. 1t is also
political gossip that Attorney New
ton Borden is not prone to make
the race for the democratic nomina-
tion.
For the legislative places Ben
Sheldon has announced his candi-
dacy for the state senate, and Ver-
non Vawter and Ralph Cowgirl are
tentative candidates for the lower
house.
For the county commissioner va
cancy, now held by James Owens,
the incumbent and Thomas Simpson
OF Ashland are mentioned. II is said
that Ashland would rather have a
representative in the county councils
than in the legislative halls. Owens
has not announced yet whether he
will be a candidate for reelection or
not, but his friends say he will.
Dealing in the political future 1t
is said that County Judge Gardner
will be a candidate for secretary of
state in 1924 and that William r.

The American Legion has been
nationally and internationally recog.
nized as a great power for good in
all communities, Its constant effort
at the present time is centered about
improved conditions for our disabled
comrades. It will be remembered
that they are the boys for whom the
war does not end. They must suffer,
in many cases, until death gives
them peace. It Is our purpose to
help relieve their pains and dis
tressed conditions as best we can by
gaining improved conditions for
the: care. This done, and we turn
our attention to less important
things, but still for the greater good
of all.
The ex-service men fought for it:
now they intend to work for it.

We have just received a bit OF
good news for the eX-seryice man.
BY a ruling dated January 2, 1922,
any eX-service man will have the
privilege of reinstating his lapsed
war term insurance, until March A,
1926. This we know will aid great
many of our comrades, who have
been thrown out of employment and
have therefore been unable to keep
up their insurance.
On November II, 1918, there were
4.439,G64 policies carried by our
soldiers with the bureau of war risk
insurance. For various reasons,
chief among them being lack Of
ability to understand the angles and
phrases compiled by the insurance
department, for our information
and lack of jobs enough for the boys
so that they could pay their prem
iums, over 3,S36,OO0 policies were
dropped before May 1921. However
at the present time the government
holds insurance policies to the
amount of $1,O67, ,252,S94. That is
pile of money, but it's mighty
good investment, and it ought to be
doubled by reinstatement during the
next year. See our insurance Off
