MONDAY, JUNE 17TH., IS DATE FOR THE ELECTION Council Submits Bonding Plan After Care ful Consideration As announced in a previous iaaue, Monday, June 17th, ha» t>een named by the councd a» the date for the special election at which the proposed amend ment to the city charter will be sub mitted to the vote o f the people. The amendment, which wua prepared by Attorney H cltfcl, waa examined in de tail and approved by the council. It provides for »bonding system o f street Improvement within a few months. The text ot the measure appears in full on pages three and four o f this issue, and should be studied carefully by all vot ers. Due to the painstaking and com petent manner o f its preparation it should be free from technical errors. The question to be decided is whether or not this system o f securing the much needed improvement is the one desired by the |ieople o f Stayton. As no other equally feasible plan has been suggested, it is thought that the pro posed amendment will carry at the poll*. During the past two months the council has given the problem o f street improvement considerable time and at tention, and they have become con vinced that the plan they are submit ting to the people is tho most logical one that applies under the circum stances existing here. It is significant that the council already has the power to proceed with the work simply or der It done, and assess the coat to the property ownera but they prefer to let the citizens decide for themselves in this matter. A fter the consideration they huve given the subject, their view o f the amendment as submitted is an intelligent one, and their approval o f the measure should have considerable weight in deciding the iasue.

W HEN the Pennsylvania state mounted police nre called to the scene ot a labor disturbance It means business, ns any Pennsylvanian can tell you, whether he la a Lithuanian miner, who curse* them as "Cossacks,” or the owner of a colliery, who halls them as the "Black Hussars.” During the recent riots In the neighborhood of Scranton these mounted police were detailed to protect property and to suppress vio lence. with the result that a number of foreign born rioters were shot and arrested. The members o f the constabulary, which was organized when Penny packer was governor, are picked men, most o f them ex-cavalrymen. They are trained to "get their man” when they start to break np a riot, and they have such a reputation for doing so that it Is generally believed that one "Cossack" Is a match for a hundred rioters. Their uniforms are entirely black: their arms are carbines, revolvers and riot sticks. Tha whole state force is only about 200 men. if you get a glimpse o f one. They sure are nifty.
