Dewey played a crack but ineligi
Me basketball, player named

Because of a decision of the war
department to have the company

it may be necessary for the famous

The old Company M led the

Republican members of the home
ways and meant committee stood
pat today on the proposition that
a permanent tarUf bill 'should
top the legislative program of
the new session of congress.
This view was expressed at a
committee conference, which took
up the question of preparing and
rnshing through the house the
same anti-dumping bill passed

added American valuation meas

The president had expected to
see western members of the for
mer committee who have been in
sisient in demanding that the tar
iff be taken up ahead of the rev
eniie revision but the meeting waa
postpone at his request.
Meanwhile thee were other
movements under way whlcn
would have the effect of giving
interests demanding It an emer

LOOP. SYSTEM ,
OF CAR LINES
PLANNED' HERE
Scheme to Provfde More
Adequate Trolly Car Serr
vice Presented at Session
. Of Realty Association.
FOUR SECTIONS OF
CITY ARE OUTLINED
Niemeyer Heads Committee
Jo Offer Proposal to
Business Men
A plan to change the Salem
street railway lnt a loop system
was brought before the Marion
County Itealty association by
Charlea W. Nelmeyer at Its reg
lar Thursday lancheon at the
Marion hotel yesterday. Though
the proposition came aa a sarprta
to the association It was eagerly
received by the members and
brought forth expressions ot ap
proval ar1 endorsement. .
With the aid cf a map of the
city, outlining the proposed
change. Mr. Niemeyer explained
what to all appearance la a feasi
ble plan for the. Improvement or
the street car system from a fi
nancial standpoint of view as well
aa that ot rendering more effi
cient service.
Three Loops Proposed
.The tentative plan as oatUned
by Mr. Nierfer would divide tha
street ear systfm Into a three
loop division, for convenience call
ing them the north, central and
so st hern loops.
The north loo? under the pro
posed plan would continue north .
oa Commercial to Hood street.
thence north oa Liberty to Pine,
thence east on Pine to Cherry
avenue. - south to Highland ave
nue, thence to the fairgrounds
road and south to Summer where
it would connect up with the
preeeat Snromer -street . track.
running back along Summer to
connect with the ChemckeU
street track and back to the ter
minal. This would elimlnata
tracks on Hood street and about
six block oa the fairgrounds
road.
Woald Eliminate Tratkag
Tha central loop would extend
east on State and Liberty to Sev
enteenth street, then south en '
Seventeenth tr Oak. east to Twen
ty-1 Hi r a. continue north on .Twenty-third,
picking up the prevent
track on Twenty-first a tree t.
thence to North Fourteenth,
thence south connecting with the
existng track on Center street and
back te Liberty iloor Chemeketa.
This system would eliminate tour
blocks on State street between
Seventeenth and Twenty-first and
about seven blocks on Center be
tween Fourteenth and Twenty
first streets and also abolish en
tirely the Seventeenth' street ear.
. The south loop or Commercial
and the depot line would te
merged into one running' south
on Commercial to the Salem
Heights store, thence east to
Mornlngside. which would then
connect p the line with the pres
ent South Twelfth street service,
or It might be deemed best to
join the Commercial atreet line
with South Twelfth atreet along;
Hoyt street.
Convenience Is Object
Almost without exception thl
proposed service would bring no
part of the city farther than four
blocks from a street car tins.
There would not be a singt case
where a atreet car line would pass
a school, but a car would run
within- two blocks of all schools
In the city.
In discussion of the street car
service in North Salem. It was a
matter of general opinion on the
part of the association that some
thing should be done to give that
part of the city in particular
street car service. The fact was
brought out that It la exceedingly
difficult to sell houses In that sec
tion because of the distance to
street car lines, many homes be
ing from 13 to 16 blocks from a
car line.
More Cars UanereKry
During fair time the value of
the loop system can readily be
seen, it was urged, in avoiding
congested condition of previous-
rears. Should the proposed clan
track being built, at least' one
half or which would be taken
from other points. It has been
estimated that the proposed sys
tem would give an eight-minute
service and at the same time the
street car company would not
have any more rolling stock than
at present.
Mr. Niemeyer has been working
on the proposed plan for weeks,
with the hope of devising a tneani
whereby the largest number ot
the citixens or the city might be
given the most efficient service.
This plan would absorb three ser
vices. Ch'tneketa, State and Sev
enteenth and t the same time
open np more territory.
