ROTARY CLUB
COMING HERE
First Move Toward Organiza
tion Made at Hotel Lunch
eon Yesterday
No, Leanuer. a Rotary club is not
an automobile club, as the evening
paper thinks.
The word rotary pertains to things
that go round, to be sure, and wbeels
on automobiles go round. So a Rot
ary club might be an automobile
club. - Why not? So reasoned the
local staff of the evening paper.
Anyway Salem is to have a Rotary
club and the first novement toward
formation of the club was made at
a luncheon at the Marion hotel yes
terday attended by six Salem citizens
fcnd two of the most active members
of the Portland Rotary club, Nelson
Pike and J. II. Joyce. Another meet
ing of those initiating the movement
in Salem will be held Friday and the
plans further developed. It is esti
mated that the members of the club
in Salem will number about 50.
The Rotary club is known the na
tioj over. Each important city has
its Rotary club. It is a chain of
affiliated clubs devoted to commun
ity improvement and service in any
capacity. Membership ! is limited.
only one representative of any line
of business or any profession be
ing chosen for membership. One of
the six Salem men attending the
njeeting yesterday was H. S. Gile
who already is a Rotarian. belong
ing to the organization in Portland.

Gobs Have Good Time
Truly Jack on horse proved him
self game, if not skillful and he
laughed at himself as much as did
anyone else. He brayely mounted
the pony broughTt forth and entered
the races and - other equestrian af
fairs with the spirit to conquer or
die that has made him famous on
the seven seas.
, In fact. Jack liked the sport so
much that after it had officially end

Mr. and Mrs. Trover Have
Acciaent nun Automobile
While driving out to their farm
hone south of Salem last night at
about C:30 o'clock in their Ford
Sedan. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Trover
juckiiy escaped injury when their
auto crashed into the plate glass
show window of the Klander sto-e
building at South Commercial and
Miller streets. The lower floor of
the store building is vacant. It seems
that one froat and one rear w.heel
on the right hand side of the car
were following in the trench on the
inside of the street car rail and in
attempting to steer the auto over
the rail it skidded slightly, this
turned so suddenly to the right that
It struck the building before Mrs.
Trover, who was driving, could apply
the brakes or shut off the motor.
Both plate glass wiodows in the
front of the building were broken
and the front of the Sedan was badly
damaged, it having a broken spring,
crushed lights, bent axle and badly
bent radiator and fenders. Just
how Mr. and Mrs. Trover escaped Ij
jnry seems a mystery. Mr. and Mrs.
Trover are engaged in the photo
graph business in Salem.

PHONE CHARGES
ARE CUT DOYN
Commission Order Affects
- Three Hundred Lines Oat
side of Pacific
Service connection and moving
charges of approximately 200 tele
phone systems in Oregon, or all in
the state that have been releaced
from federal control with . the ex
ception of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company and its consul
uent companies, are reduced by an
order of tbe public service commis
sion issued yesterday and made ef
fective September 1.
The new charges, as fixed by the
commission are maximum but not
mandatory, in other words the com
panies are not allowed to charge
more than the figures fixed by the
commission but may charge less.
The effect of the change is to
place the burden upon the user hav
ing his service altered, and to re
lieve the companies of the expense-
incident, for example, to moving tel
ephone sets to conform to moving tbe
location of desks, or other changes
that may be ordered by patrons
Hence, it is possible that the order
may have an indirect effect upon the
general rates charged the public.
Prior to the establishment of the
notorious $5, $10 and $15 installa
tion charges fixed . by Postmaster
General Burleson no charge was
made patrons for changes In service
connection, and the burden was di
rectly upon the company and ulti
mately upon the public. These
charges fixed by Mr. Burleson were
later reduced, are now in effect and
are tbe changes that are supplanted
by the new charges announced by
the commission yesterday.
The investigation that led up to
yesterday's order was on the com
mission's own motion, and a hear
ing was held in Portland on July
14 last.
"Large numbers of subscribers
are of more or less transient charac
ter and do not retain long service
in any one location." says an explan
atory statement from the commis
sion's orrice. "For this and other
reasons a demand is produced for
frequent disconnection, changes and
re-establishment of service. Without
some method of assessing the ex
penses and los.es involved In these
transactions against the Individual
subscribers, in measure as each is
responsible, they become a common
burden to the detriment of the sub
stantial permanent subscribers and
to tbe unjust advantage of short
term and less stable users or the
service."
The substance of the order is giv
en below:
For the complete establishment of
individual or carty line service: Bur
leson charge $2. SO. New charge (at
In efcchangrs with 1000 or more
