I 1LI. liC fl V . . ----- - sage to the city council, takes high ground on several very important matters. , , - . , . ; Most important, in the opinion of The Statesman, is his recommendation that the city council take up the matter of the erection of a municipal cold storage plant For the saving of our surplus fruit and vegetable crops that may otherwise go to waste. . . . The city has the site; it has the organization; it has ho rrplt tn hack un bonds to raise the money, s It would cost the taxpayers nothing, for it would pay its own; expenses and retire the bonds. No new board need be created; the city council would have power to appoint the men to take care of the plant , The new mayor also favors a commission form of gov ernment, and this is important, because the business of Sa lem as a city has grown to such proportions that expert knowledge is needed in the conduct of its affairs. The cost need not be increased; commissioners may serve without pay, and appoint the experts. - ' He also favors the paving of the streets from the; north, in ortler that the state fair grounds may be reached oh paved streets and. connection may be made in the same way with the Pacific Highway. Another season should not be allowed to go by without the consummation of these improvements. Mayor Halvorsen is also in lavor oi oeuer traiiic regu , There is a feeling that the so viet government in Russia wHl be overcome by peaceful and per sistent penetration from within rrther than through any violent revolution. As a matter of fact, most of the commercial and So cialistic theories under which thj Soviets came to power have al- J ready been abandoned. They were impractical and could not jtand the test. Neither Lenine uor Trotzky has any desire or In (ention to build a Russia along the lines of their first blueprints. They are now trying to put Rus sia to work and to speed up traduction which is about all that any government could do. The only trouble is that the rest of the world cannot yet feel much ?aniiaence in or respect ror a government ruled by Lenine or Trotzky. To that extent they are impeding tbeir country's progress. even though they are striving to place it on a peace footing. DISARMING THE WORLD. ident F. S. Stimson of Seattle, Roderick L. Macleay, A. C. Ruby, V. It. Ayer. William Ladd. Frank Robertson. Charles H. Carey and C. L; Hawley. Following motion made by Mr.' Ladd' was unani mously' carried: "V ', '.'That the board go on record as having knowl edge whatever of the pro posed consolidation, and fur ther stating that both insti tutions as they were now lo cated and conducted were a tremendous . asset to the country. That the Oregon tat,e fair served th people of the state and of the Pa- . cific coast in alt lines of ag riculture and industrial en deavor and that no question , should ever be raised as to its being moved from its present site, where it has been located for nearly three quarters of a century. It was further stated that the Pacific j International was ; purely a live stock show, and ' that in a large measure its success depended upon the . success of the Oregon state fair." J I trust that your; paper ; will rive this good position so the re solution be given as much pub licity as the original Btory carry ing the rumor. . - O. M. Plummer.a Sec'y and Gen. Manager.

It I going to tell the eastern folks jn.st what tftey want tb know about this part if the country. ! - The Statesman press room force is rather proud of a four color road map of Oregon Just printed, to go into the biennial report of the state hlehway com mission. With the white of the t,heet. it has the effect of five colors, and it Is at the same time the most complete and most beau tiful Oregon road map yet prepared. 1 to Lack into.. There Is no greater danger oi iuitiun uur, p; of backing than in the other. That danger is constant which ever course is taken, and may be avoided by proper attention to signals and speed. -1 observed the "heart In" system for s some time at !,Pendletoti and in my Judgment: it. serves all concerned much better than backing in. The parking regulations have been changed in that city, indeed, so that the j chauffeur .turns' to the left and stops his ear in a space marked diagona::y ncrosa the middle line of the street; leaving the curb ' free.' Wishing ' to con tinue his Journey, he backs out and keeps on his original course. The present Pendleton system is not practicable In Salem , because of the street railways In the mid dle of so many of oir principal streets; but I think th- 'bead In" plan formerly used there would work well here. . -J As to compelling antomobilea t turn only at street Intersec tions. I think It is not necessary, considerln? our wide streets and large UockP. Besides this, . the one who - reverse hi- course at theintersctlon is exposed to dan ger of collision with traffic going r-oth ways on both stret, doubl- J Jng the risk of turning in the j middle or the block. , It will be difficult to teach some of the. old timers the new trick of going clear to the next corner of a long block to cross the street and do, business with an establishment directly oppo site. We may be "Jays." but for many years we have been cross-' Ing when and where the spirit moved us. and it will be Hard tr. get ont of the habit. . ; I trust I will not be thoutht presumptuous in suggesting to' the maypr and council where la "head In." and to stop at that.."

"Kis met," the Robertson-Cole super-special, starring Otis klnner, will be shown for the last time tonight at the OREGON Theatre. Prohibition has advanced In the Philippines to the point where it U suspended on election ;days. That ought to hasten the count ing of the ballots. S It is getting so now that.it is possible for a reporter to tell about an automobile upsetting without referring to it as having "turned turtle." j The junior senator from Cali fornia now wants world disarma ment, but does he think it can be brought about through his mak ing some florid remarks in the tialla nf Minrrasit' If ,Tna TTnltait lations, along about the same lines recommended by the new suteg Eenate 80d tne president city marshal. , Mr. Halvorsen is himself engaged in the auto- had put tneIr neadg together anii mobile business, and he has made a study of this matter and tbeIr shouiders to the wheeI two his recommendations deserve speedy action. f years ago some substantial nroe- rr f Awaril wrlf - 1!flflpmmanf C.

He is very long on florid remarks; but he is lamentably short on any thing constructive. The above from Mr. Plummer, secretary and general manager of the Pacific International Live Stock Exposition company, ought effectually to lay that old ghost At least, the resolution of the board of directors ought to make it binding. Every little while, for a num ber of years, some peanut gink at Portland has stirred up this ghost, suggesting the removal of the State fair to Portland. The forward looking people of Portland .have never been con cerned in the stirring np of this old ghost. They know that .Port- and can never be a Sreryi great and prosperous city without' a great and prosperous state behind it. ; ' ' ' EDITORIALS ...

Gentlemen: On the front page or a recent edition or one tt Portland's papers was a short story, carrying a Salem date line in which it was stated upon good authority that one of the Mult nomah county delegation was pre paring a bill which should have for Its purpose the. consolidation of the Oregon state fair and the Pacific International live stock exposition, the consolidated fairs to have tbeir home at Portland The breeders of the Pacific I coast and those who have follow ed the success of both institu tions realize that this is a rumor pure and simple, without any THE TOP PRICE. Suggestions on Automobile Traf- fic ltegulationff. ; Editor; Statesman: Adverting to the published plans of the new chief of police about the regulation of automo bile traffic, I Infer that he would lay off spaces on thfr pavement adjacent to the curb and require an automobile to back into a stall thus formed. Instead of backing in. I sug gest that cars be required to head in. It is much easier to drive into a narrow '.space than to back in, because the driver can see bet.' ter where he Is going. True nough. he will have to back out. but then he has the whole street President Wilson' has refused an offer of $150,000 for ft single magazine article from his pen the length, and subject being mat ters left entirely to his-decision. ; It seems that the president's earning capacity, has in no ..way' been Impaired and he jumps' at once to the top of the column.' That is the high-water mark. Mr. Wilson declines the proposal,' however, and will do. his literary work in his own 'time and way. He is frank about it.' He says that no article from his pen could porsibly be-worth that sum. Some of our modern writers have not been, as conscientious. As a his torian President Wilson an earn remuneration ? that .night even make ft mov'e queen feel poor. Be Slender Trat way Mmm i4r, f tt t ot mm tuif f4ytji vuthtT N urviog r ttdwaa strriM.
