STIPP EXPLAINS US PROVISIONS
Butoh And Others Defend Proposed
Plan Of Having Business Ad
ministration Tooie
Speaks Tonight
The revised city charter, which
will be voted upon at a special elec
tion, waa dls uad at length at a
inasa mealing at tbe Commercial club
Monday evening. About fifty tax
payors were present and the senti
ment seemed to be In favor of the re
vised charter. It provide for tbe
election of flvo councllmen, on from
each of tbe three wards and two from
the city at large. The council will be
empowered to eloct one of Its mem
bers mayor and to appoint a business
manugcr of the city at a salary not
exceed $2,000 a year. Tbe council
will nam tbe chief of police who will
name tbe patrolmen subject to the ac
tion of the council.
I.lvy Stlpp A member of tbe board
which revised the charter, explained
Its provisions. Ho declared that there
was no question that It was an Im
provement on the preeent charter. He
said the results under the new ar
rangement would be much more sat
isfactory than under the present sys
tem. Frank Husch also commended
the revised instrument, declaring that
It would. If put Into practice, give bet
ter satlslactlon. He said that It prob
ably gave tbe proposed business man
ager too much authority, but that was
not a serious dofect
Mayor Dlmlck and O. W. Eastham
spoke against tbe new charter. Eaat-
ham declared there should be at least
nine councllmen as under the pres
ent arrangement He aald the new
plan gave the business manager too
much authority. L. II. Morton pre
slder over the meeting. Councilman
Tooxe, a member of the charter com
mission and other will apeak In favor
of the new Instrument at a mass
meeting at Mountain View tonight
The Mayor aald that the amend
ment glvea the business manager too
much power, and that the present
council of nine men should not be cur
tailed.
"If you give the business manager
too much authority," aald the mayor,
"he will think he owns the city. He
could order all cross walka In the city
changed from wood to macadam. The
council should represent every part of
the city. There has been a system
of grnfth Inaugurated in Baker. Ore
gon, by having the authority confined
to a few men. The business of the
city should be transacted In the coun
cil which la an open body, and where
the people of the city may come."
Mayor Dlmlck criticised the charter
provision giving the business manager
power to advertise for bids through
the medium of circular letter.

FOR YOUR LIVER
Agreeable Relief from Liver Ills Guar
anteed by Miller Drug Co.
Tbe man or woman in good bodily
health is usually cheerful. Gooa
health and a cheerful state of the
mind that combination permits you
to get out of life aH there is In it to
plan and work and pity with vim and
spirit and enjoyment.
When you have the "blues" when
everything looks dark and gloomy
when, in spite of the fact that you
can't see anything much to worry
about you are glum and despondent
and spiritless It is a pretty safe bet
that your liver Is out of order.
And when your liver Is not work
ing rlsht, you ought to worry. At
least you ought to pay attention and
immediately seek a remedy. For the
liver is the biggest and perhaps the
most Important gland in the body. It
secretes the bile, which has an Im
portant work to do In connection with
the digestion of food. It acts as a
poison and waste product elmtnator.
If It does not secrete bile fast enough
or does not properly remove the poi
sonous wastes, other organs are lia
ble to become quickly affected, and
the first thing you know you have oth
er trouble gout rheumatism, indi
gestion, heartburn, dizziness, consti
pation, kidney trouble bad complex
Ion; offensive breath, or some one or
more of dozen of other greater or less
ailments all indications of liver
weakness.
Rexall Liver Salts Is a combination
of the medicinal salts best known and
most used for affections of or arising
from the liver. Pleasant, laxative,
effervescent It acts promptly upon the
bowels, and thus helps to restore the
entire system to its normal healthy
state. We positively guarantee it
