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

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. "
The speaker said that -he was
glad to see more good men inter

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. .
"Barcarolle," (Chaminade)
was given by Miss LaRaut and
Mr. Craven and was so popular
that they were called back to Te
peat 1L The pleasing melody
ecemed particularly suited to
their voices.
Other numbers given by Mr
Craven were "Honor in Arms'
(Handel), and "The Monk," (My
erbeer). Miss Meyers also play
ed "Clair de Luna" (Debussy)
and finished with "Shepherd's
Hey," (Grainger).
