mer. . - ; " ". ; ''':
The tax roll for Marion county
for 1924 shows an increase over
1928 of more than 8200,000, ac
cording to the complete list of the
county. In 1924 the amount was
$1,817,705, while in the previous
year it was $1,610,127, making
difference of $207,577.
The total tax for city govern
ment to be paid by the people of
Salem for this year is $212,267,
an increase Of more than $14,000
on the 1924 roll. The increase in
the tax levy for Salem is explain
ed by two reasons. These aVe the
exercise of the right to increase
the levy 6 percent over last year
as provided by tine limitation am
endment to the constitution, and
the small amount required in pay
ing off a part of the bond issue for
the city aerial fire truck, amount
ing to $1C,000. ' No marked in
crease in the cost of city govern
ment is shown." V j !' . .

DfJ TRAFFIC BILL
Ordinance Designed to Pre

An ordinance which will prob
ably be considered at the meeting
Of the city council Monday night
is the traffic regulating ordinance,
designed to curtail aceldents
among children of the J. Paiv
risn junior mgn scnooi.
If the ordinance passes the city
council it will carry provisions
that prohibit vehicles from 'stop
ping on the east side " of North'
Capitol between D and Lambert to
discharge or take on passengers.
The idea is to eliminate the stop
ping of traffic upon the east side
of the street in order that there
shall be ho vehicles from which
children can dart from behind or
from the front ot into the path of
approaching vehicles. -?
The ordinance, will also provide
that there shall - he only three
places by which . pedestrians can
cross the street near the school.
One is ' at the intersection of D
and Capitol streets, another at a
Point " directly;: in front; Of the
school house and the last one at
the Intersection ot Lambert and
Capitol. , t
The Ordinance . is designed to
regulate traffic In order, that .the
accidents to children -j; may - be
averted. ' One of the greatest
dangers, it Is stated, comes from
Children darting from" behind ve

nat unless Oregon has the power
to enforce the law, "it is hard to
assign any limits to the injurious
effect, from the standpoint o
American patriotism." . , -Unless
states have such right,
he stated, "children may be

belong are superior, to the c?aln3
