BEAUTY SPOT BE Citizens Anxious to Have City Keep Oak Grove for Public Purposes Should the city take action to save the oak grove at North Mill creek and Canitol street for school, park or playground pur poses? Such is a query submitted yes terday by mail over the signatures of Mrs. A. N. Bush, George E. Halvorsen, Paul B. Wallace and R. A. Harris to a large list of Sa lem citizens. Spot Is Rare One 'Salem has few such spots for schools, parks and playgrounds," says the quiz card which each re cipient is requested to "please answer promptly." Quoted in full, the query Is as follows : "One of Salem's beauty spots, the oak grove at North Mill creek and Capitol street, is about to be divided Into city lots and placed on the market. Salem has too few such spots for schools, parks and playgrounds. The owners are compelled to dispose of it at once, but the undersigned are assured that if sold in one piece for pub lic purposes, a price materially less than its market value will be made besides saving the expense of surveying, dedicating, street paving, sidewalks, etc. now under contemplation. Please give' me your opinion In 50 words or less on this card as to whether or not the city should take over this beautiful tract." New High School Looms It is urged that a new high school must be built in Salem soon. This location Is looked up on with much favor. It is though that the site for such a (structure and its proper environs should embody the tract uner discussion and the two blocks in The Oaks addition Immediately on the north. These two blocks are owned almost entirely by the city at present. It remains only to se cure this tract to complete this superb site for ' a high school which will admit of all necessary expansion for 50 years to come The site is in the geographical center of the city. It is not at present in the center of popula tion but may easily be so within the not distant future. Site Near Traffic Arteries Already the high school sports field is in this locality. An arched passageway under the railroad would connect the. field most con venienflv with the school sit? which would be in plain view o the passing throng both by rail road and highway. The tract under discussion con tains the oak grove which doubt less gave the name to The Oaks addition although The Oaks addi tion proper does not contain any of the oak grove. All, fcowever, 'are Included in the Parrish dona tion land claim. Acreage Unplotted The tract on which the expres sion of public sentiment is being solicited is stUl nnplotted acre- . . m m t 0 age. The city uoias ciaims oi some $5000 against it for street improvements. There are unpaid taxes and other claims of consid erable amounts against the prop erty.-. Settlement of these claims (Continued on page 6) I 10 HALL. OF WtSHFIED EXECUTIVE CLOSE GUBERNATORIAL A PROCLAMATION Whereas, at this season there comes to every worthy ' citizen the inspiration that he shall join with Nature in making our surroundings more beautiful; ? Whereas it is essential to the health and welfare of our city that we respond energetically in this matter of civic duty. Now, therefore I, George E. Halvorsen, mayor of Salem, in furtherance of a movement initiated by one of our citizens towards this end and in accordance with an established custom among the progressive cities of the country, do set aside and proclaim the week com mencing May 23 and ending May" 3tt as Clean-up,' Paint up and Fix-up week. 4 And I do urga upon each and every citizen that he contribute his full measure of support and energy in this movement by doing every; manner of thing that will add to the beauty and cleanliness of our city so as to, make of Salem the cleanest as well as, the most beautl-' ful city in our state. (Signed) GEORGE E. HALVORSEN, Mayor. RAND SPEAKS GN PROBLEMS Member of Supreme Court Does Not Approve of Recall Elections "I hate the proposition of a re call; it is wrong in theory and in practice. When the recall can operate against such a man as Frank Miller, one of the nation ally famous members of the Ore gon public service commission, on such a campaign cry as 'Six cents is too much to pay for a 5-cent fare,' it is dangerous. If intelli gence cannot remedy these condi tions, then the government of Oregon is going to go steadily to the worse." , Judge John L. Rand, of the Oregon supreme court, said this as one of a galaxy of striking statements before the Salem Com mercial club, at the Monday noon luncheon. His subject was "Am ericanization" as a general theme, and he handled it in masterly manner. But it wasn't the conversion of the foreigner that he urged; It was the reju venation of the native-born into a saner, more logical actor in the political drama. "We must devise means for two parties; then if one wastes the public's money, there is an other organized party to turn to and overthrow failure. I do not urge the direct primaries, nor do I urge their abolition. But we have been finding out that the man who came here and built Oregon, and the men who framed her old constitution, were men of strength and intelligence. Now, we have everything, and every body making law3. and jit is up to intelligence to bring back some of the sobriety we have lost. Party Line Fade "Who Isn't a Republican to day? Everybody goes Into the Republican primaries today, and helps to select the candidates and name the Issues. There Is. no de finite party line today; no one to hold definitely responsible. If there is to be any such respon sibility, the parties must be clean and a living entity, the party must have somethtlng worth liv ing for. But the system that de stroys the responsible parties. In creases the tax and pfunders the public. The only way to sanity lsUo amend our present primary systemr or else go back to the old system. "We. the people, are to blame for the heavy taxes of today. We voted them, allowed them, under the direct primary law. The very men who now shout loudest against expenses of the state vot ed for most of the items of heavy expense. Until we have two strong, responsible parties, there will continue to be turmoil. Irre sponsibility, waste.

Mr. Craven's full baritone seemed especially pleasing in ' a number of old time ballads, "Pipes o Gordon's Men", and three salt water ballads. "Port of Many Ships", "Trade Winds and "Mother Carey," were among those particularly well given. Two negro spirituals arranged by Burleigh. 'Go Down Moses' and v Did n't It Rain" showed the possibilities of the singers voice in ballads of this type. .
