Salem officialdom in recent "days has been besought by a large . number, of the more - progressive people of the city to call a special election so that another, oppor tnaltrinay, he given, to rescne the city from the financial famine 'that now awaits It the coming .yearr . Campaign InsnfflcJent There is a feeling that, not enough campaigning was done be fore the recent election to let the people know that the additional lery proposed would bare meant an additional tax of only about If cents on each $1000. k Even had the increase been voUd; it is pointed out by observ era of the situation that Salem weald still have been far ahead of other: cities for the reason that thia city was probably the only city on the Pacific coast that did act increase Its taxes during the tt period. Financially, Salem's eosomic record during the war u a marvel and It la considered U have financial orgy to spare sow, tt the voters will only agree to .exceed the constitutional limi titloa by few dollars so the cap-: ital city may not retrograde to the condition of a country village la the next year. I . :Slem Mas Advantage.! The following figures show Sa lem's; assessed valuation of prop erty and its tax levy during the years 1911 to 1919 inclusive, and ibowjhow the town preserved the even jtenor or its way during the tr period, while other , cities were under heavy tax burdens: ' lSlf Assessed valuation, m.t7,000; tax levy, 14 mills. 1117 Assessed valuation, U1.T59.O00; tax levy 12 1-2 mills 1118 Assessed valuation, 111.171,000; tax ley. 12 1-2 ISIS Assessed valuation, Ul.7t4.000; tax levy, 13.9 mills. ' City officials are inclined to be lieve that It is better business to n'M an additional amount' of oner by taxation than to pay in terest on borrowed money. ; But inless there is an increase of abont $25,000 over the amount which it is possible without -a vote t the people to raise up to the Emit allowed by the constitution.

The procla mation follows: On the 21st day of November 300 years ago, the little ship "Mayflower," carrying its i 102 passengers of men and women, cast anchor in American waters. This vessel brought with it the beginnings of the nation which we now know as the United States or America, and out of the de votion, of those men and Women to the principles of civil and re ligions liberty came our glorious democracy, of today. The first act of those pilgrim fathers, as they stepped upon the soil of America was to throw themselves upon their knees and give thanks to Almighty Gad that they had I found a harbor where they might worsmp Him according to the dictates of their own conscience. That was the first Thanksgiving aay. (For 300 years, as this nations has grown and prospered, we have grown and prospered.! we have seen the unfolding of a new order of things standing for lib erty and enlightenment. , At, no time in history have the people of, these United States been so crowned with manifold blessings as are we today, and on : the Thanksgiving: day ; of this year we should all be truly and ; de voutedly thankful to our Creator for what He has wrought for "bs and. our nation through the .300 years that have gone by. , . Realizing the munificence ' of these blessings and our unbound ed prosperity. I. Ben. W. Olcott. by virtue of the authority in me vested as governor of the state of Oregon, do hereby proclaim i nursaay, ov. za. izo. as Thanksgiving day a legal holiday, and I call upon the people ofTthe state in the churches. In their homes, or wherever they may be. to observe such day as a day of special thanksgiving and prayer. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused th seal of - the state of Oregon to be hereunto affixed. Done at the capitol at Salem, this 13th day of November, 1920. BEN. W. OLCOTT, Governor. PROBE ASKED BY COL WHITE Adjutant General Finds . Name of Man Killed in ( Action on Slacker List Decision to demand an early and searching investigation of the official Oregon slacker list com piled by the government was reached yesterday by George A. White, adjutant general of the state, after he had found on the list the name of an Oregon hero who was killed in action in the battle of the-Argonne. The name of the dead soldier was the 15th name of an Oregon soldier to be located by Mr. White upon the federal compilation of draft de serters which was furnished him recently by the government. "Carelessness that is nothing shojrt of criminal is responsible for this outrage." said Colonel White, who contends that with so many avenues of information open there was no excuse for listing a single Oregon soldier - as a slacker. ' Check Incomplete. - The check of the 703 names on the official list is not yet com pleted and will not be released. Mr. White said, until it has been checked against the name of every ' soldier in Oregon who can be located. It will then be returned to .Washington for checking up against the government's lists. , "The mistakes are doubly seri ous," said the adjutant general, "for the reason that had they been published in the original form a series of outrageous injustices would have been done, and for the reason that, the errors are delay ing the publication of names of the real draft dodgers. "Splendid co-operation in check ing these names if being given by county clerks and former mem bers .of draft boards, which goes to show that the errors were not made there. But whatever the .cause of such blundering, it must be located. The government will be asked to make the Investiga tion In conjunction with the state." . Errors Found by Clerk. - The errors, according to the theory of the adjutant general's office, were caused by enlistment of men in Ihe army after they had been registered in. the draft. When their names were called they were- away with their nnits and were posted as deserters, be ing removed from the" desertion list as rapidly as their presence in the service was located.- Most of the 15 names on the final LIBERALS CONFIDENT All Greece Deeply Ab sorbed in Election Which May Return Premier Ve nizelos to Power OPPOSITION CHARGED WITH USING TRICKS Royalists Seek Destruction of Liberal Party Now in Control 1 ATHENS. -Nov. -IS. All Greece is deehlv absorbed In toninTrow' election, the outcome of which is generally expected to be the re-1 turn of Premier Vehizelos and the 'Liberal party to pdwr by a ; large majority. The election rs regarded as having " the 'greatest inflnence on the country's, fu ture. ' - ( '- . ; premier, I Confident. . Although he has expressed him self as confident or victory, the premier has been conducting a most active - campaign. He re turned to Athens on Thursday in time to address an armistice gath ering Where he was given an ova tion by more than 100,000 per sons. " 1 The Yenizelites : carried, . huge wooden Jpaper anchors, emblem of the liberay party. Many per sons shouted: "Long live the re public." The crowd was made up largely of workers! , The Venize lists assert that attendance at the meeting was twice $s large as the opposition's gathering on the Sun day previous. Both sides have charged that persons were paid to attend the meetings. While the country is calm, trou ble is forecasted after the elec tion, no matter which side wins. If Venizelos gets the majority of 270 of a total of 36S. which his supporters claim, it is expected the royalists will denounce the elections as fraduulent. Should the royalists win. the Venizellsts have announced they will not ac cept the political dethronement of their chief. Royalists Are Anxioa. I uemro uounaris. iormer pre mier and leader of the element supporting the return of former King Constantine to the throne of Greece, who is the opponent of Premier Venizelos In the elections to be held Sunday, has requested passports to Italy. If he fails to be elected his parliamentary im munity expires. Gounaris. with the approval of M. Venizelos was permitted to re turn to "Greece to participate in the elections, although he was ex iled during the war on the charge of high treason. His request for passports is regarded by the sup porters of Premier Venizelos as a significant indication of the trend of the forthcoming election. Premier Venizelos made his last speech before the election at Piraeus tonight. He charged the opposition with resorting to "des picable tricks" and attempting to encourage Bolshevism, while he declared his party essentially fa vored 'freedom of, the workers. Workers Acclaim Premier. An : immense crowd of. dock workers acclaimed. the premier when he appeared on the balcony of the; Liberal cliib. When he was leaving many wo men in the crowd, some of them handsomely clad and also pretty fisher girls,! pressed around him. Several fell! on their knees and embraced his hands. He raised them up and when one of them kissed him on both cheeTts she was followed by so many that the premier was obliged to flee. . Gtru Wrangel Decorates 16 Red Cross Workers CONSTANTINOPLE.

CHIEF FINDS BIKE THIEVES i Welsh Uncovers Parts and Cans of Paint in East 1 Salem Barn Loft For some weeks, past bicycles have been mysterionsiy disappear ing in different parts of the city. Peculiar incidents have occurred. in which it appeared almost an impossibility for stranger hands to have taken them, yet accusations seemed scarcely fitting. With quiet determination Chief of Police Welsh has been working to apprehend the guilty ones. Sat isfied beyond a doubt tbe thiev ing was done by young boys and having gathered sufficient evi dence Chief Welsh felt yesterday afternoon, that the time for ac tion bad arrived. He visited a home in the east ern part of the city and found some boys busily engaged in changing the parts on some bi cycle and repainting them. One wheel proved to- be a heavy ser vice wheel which had been report ed missing. Upon questioning the" boys told Chief Welsh the wheel was given to them, and named tbe donor.- Whereupon in com pany with the boys, tbe home from whence the bicycle was said to have come, was visited. Find ing no one at home the chief searched the barn. A Haniey Davidson bicycle was found with several of the parts changed and repainted. This wheel also was identified as one reported stolen from Malvin Long. Several dismembered parts of bicycles were found in the loft of the barn and also cans of differ ent colored paints. To all ap pearances everything was in read iness to disguise bicycles on short notice. "I am convinced that this is but the beginning of the investi gation." said the chief. "There are several others implicated and I shall make a thorough search. All the boys In the gang must be caught and the bicycles returned to the owners. "For the sake of the parents and because the boys are young. I would rather the names would not be made public at this time. It could do no good." THE WEATHER " Rain west, unsettled and oc casionally threatening east por tion; moderate southeasterly winds. COMMUNITY INSURANCE AND THE RED CROSS By PERRY PRESCOTT REIGELMAN. Insurance is the thing today. It I lows: "Why raise money for the is without Question the wise thing. No one can deny that. If hardheaded businessmen did not believe in insurance why would houses, business buildings, ma chinery, automobiles and lives be insured? - But we do believe in insurance and few people' have to be shown the necessity of iL The question really is "How much Insurance can you carry?" The government believed in insurance when it in sured the soldiers in such a pre sumably risky business as war. And still the government believes in this line and ls offering liber al policies to the ex-service men. It has been shown by statistics that, although war takes a dread ful toll on human lives, the rank and rile of the Industrial army suffers heavier, casualties than great military armies. The tate now looks after Insuring the in dustrial worker, cares for his welfare when he Is disabled, and prblects those left behind when Industry takes its greatest sacri fice. We all approve and feel that such measures are Just and hu mane. Big business now insures their managers, musicians insure their fingers, travellers Insure against accidents, and merchants injure against thieves. We are all firm believers in the efficacy ob Insur ance we -believe In protection aaainst loss. Now, during the next two weeks the 'community Is asked to enroll In the American Red Cross In Its fourth annual roll call. There have been many querries put, to those In charge of the roll call which run somewhat as fol- f; - MORNING NOVEMBEa 14, MACY AND LOW WILL HAVE COMPETITION RAY SMITH MAII TO RK OtT FOR CITY ATTORXKYKIIIP Harden ami llaalewoml Lnnk To Wart I Pom or Street 'ora in i "Khm er Ilutton to stay ' Competition has been aroused for at least two of the city orfie s that are appointive by the council, according to political gos sip in city hall circles. These are the pout of city attorney and that of street commisxioner. B. W. Macy. present city attor ney, has not yet indicated whetb r be will be a candidate for re appointment, bnt it Is generally believed he will be. It ls-rnm-i ored that Ray Smith, one of the city's younger, attorneys, will be a .contender. for the place. Last year a rumor was that Macy was a defeated man In his desire to recapture the post. when the council met to vote on the office he won by a big Margin. All of which lends interest to the next appointment. It Is now apparent that there will be at least three candidates for street commissioner. Walter S. Low. who has served efficiently in that 'position for a number of years, probably will want the po sition again. Miller Hay den is said to be a candidate, and a third Is a man named Hazlewood who is now employed at the state peni tentiary. No candidates aside from the incumbent. Dr. R. E. Pomeroy. have as yet shown up for the post of city health officer. Fire Chief Harry Ilutton will be reappointed. The new council probably will caucus on the appointments be tween Christmas and New Tear's day. STEATiISHIP AND FREIGHTER HIT Captain Muslero Commands and Restores Order in Excited Crowd NEW YORK. Nov. 12. As Tier passengers. 250 of whom were Immigrants lined the rails for a glimpse or New York' skyline, the Spanish Royal Mall steamship Montserrat collided today with the Mallory line freighter San Marcos. The vessels moving in from quarantine were under the lee or the State of Liberty. The Montserrat vra beached on the Brooklyn shore before she sank. The San Marcos, her bow smashed in. made the pier safely. Water poured in through.?- a gaping hole In tbe starboard side of the Montserrat. Seized with fear of disaster, the immigrants dashed for life rafts and boats. Captain Muslera. a skipper In the Spanish service for more than a quarter century, rang for fall speed, turned the vessel sharply toward tbe , Brooklyn shore jumped from the bridge Into the excited crowd and restored order. Other of the ship's officers, with Ramon Mauel Villova Nova. Spanish consul at Vera Cruz, gave assistance to Captain Mnsleraiby taking charge of lifeboat and raft stations and prevented Immigrants from jumping overboard. One man, however, leaped over the side. He fell on tbe deck of a tng that had come alongside and was not seriously Injured. ; PETROLEUM DISCOVERED SAN SALVADOR. Republic of Salvador. Nov. 13. Petroleum de posits are reported to have been discovered in tbe department of LaUnlon. Red Cross now that tbe war over?" . And the question is invariably answered: "The Red Cross is not merely a war-time organization for the relief or suffering." This fact Is tremendously true when one stops to consider a mo ment. The broad scope of tbe Red Cross include relief for suffering In times of calamity in whatever part of the world the suffering or tbe calamity is. It knows no one nation It rendered the same brotherly assistance to the Ger man wounded, to the German Im poverished families, as it did to the American or French. Wher ever" there is disaster like the Daytoni flood in Ohio, like the Pan Francisco earthquake and fire like the earthquake in .Mesnina there you will find the Red Cross. Of course these disasters hap pened far away thousands of miles away across the continent. across the sea. Rut what I am driving at Is this you neTer can tert when some terrible disaster of flood or fire or earthquake or ravaging disease may turn this community the city of Salem. Marion or TOlk-county into a district of suffering so that a call would have to be sent out to the country In general to help ruh medical supplies and food. Right here ls where the Red Cross stands as an organization of first aid to this community. It Is an organization that offers a com munity Insurance against delay in securing aid. against delay In pro viding doctors, nurses, and medi cines if disease should ravage.
