TEACHERS ASK INCREASE
Street Sweepers Command More
Money Daring Year Than
Average Pedagog Declares
Delegation of Three
The school board is confronted
with the problem of a 'shortage of
$j600 in the budget. for this year,
it was revealed last night at the
meeting; of the school board in
conjunction with the budget com
mittee of taxpayers. , One of two
courses must te pursued; either a
j-ptoial election must be held ask
ing for the amount needed, or the.
-money mast;be pruned from the
various expenditures set down as
bt-ing necessary in;, the proposed
budget. The; total amount, asked
is $333,632, of which the biggest
item is $237,970 for personal serv
ice. . . j
besides this the teachers of the
city have organized to ask for a
readjustment of their salary sched
u le. To make a satisfactory read
justment it: is held that between
S40,eoo and $50,000 will be need
ed. Under the proposed schedule
submitted to the budget commit
tee by a committee of three teach
ers, the minimum salary-for ele
mentary teachers would be $1200
and for the Junior high school
teachers and senior high j school
teachers $1450. Under this new
plan it would also be the purpose
: to raise the standards of teaching
in the Salem schools. For instance,
' teachers in order to receive the
minimum of $1200 would have to
have had normal school training.
and in addition two years exper
ience in teaching. This, it is held,
would induce teachers of proven
worth to sign with the i Salem
Schools
Miss Crowley, one of the teach-
era, told the budget committee
that the Increase if granted would
hot take effect, until next year, and
the teachers feel the need for im-
xadiate relief. . Consquently she
suggested that also tWairr,l5
teachers be allowed a month's ad
ditional pay to defray summer
school expenses, which the teach
ers are asked to take. Miss Creech,
another teacher, told the commit
tee that living costs have increased
approximately 50 per cent since
the last salary readjustment was
made in 1919.
Prof. Dodson, the third mem
ber of the teachers' committee, de
clared that street sweepers in Sa
lem are getting from $104 to $110
a month, the year around, while
. school teachers are getting as low
as $82.50 when their salary is av
eraged for twelve months. He
showed that policemen in the city
get $1500 a year, and declared
that he gets the same amount for
caring for the education of 300
children. He expressed it as his
belief that teachers should he at
lowed sufficient remuneration to
allow them to live as they should
and to lay a little aside for furth
ering their own training. lie also
advocated that the same exper
ience draw the same pay. Under
the present system, he said, ele-

IS THIS WHY THEY CALL IT THE WINDY CITY ?
Opinion Has Erfect on City; Ap
pointment of Special Com
mittee Expected
Both the constitutionality of
the Portland zoning ordinance
and the validity of a special elec
tion at Eugene authorizing a mu
nicipal bond issue of $500,000 for
the erection ot an auditorium on
the campus "of the University of
Oregon were upheld in opinions
by the supreme court Tuesday.
The zoning opinion was written
by Justice Burnett with Justices
Bean, Brown, Coshow and Belt
concurring and Chief Justice Mc
Bride and Justice Rand dissent
ing. Judge Robert G. Morrow, of
the lower Multnomah court, was
reversed. The Eugene opinion,
written by Justice Bean with
Chief Justice McBride and Jus
tice Coshow ahd Rand concurring
and Justices Burnett 'and Brown
dissenting, reverses Judge j Percy
H. Kelly, of Marion county, who
heard the case. Because Salem is
seeking to zone the city and; a spe
cial committee authorized, the
Portland opinion is of unusual in
terest to Salem. Mayor J. B.
Giesy has deferred from naming
his committee pending the court
ruling on the Portland plan.
The Portland ordinance was at
tacked by (Ernest Kroner and
Frank Michels, who were prohib
ited from erecting ,a creamery oa
two lots at Thirteenth and Pine,
in a suit instigated against the
city when steps were taken to pre
vent the erecting of the building
"It is plain," says the opinion,
"that governmental agencies en
trusted with the policepower, as
the city of, Portland is, can enact
laws regulating the use of proper
ty for business purposes. Other
wise it would be permissable to
erect a powder mill on the site of
the Hotel Portland or to install a
glue factory next to the city hall
or to erect a boiler shop adjacent
to the First Congregational
ehurch. Such things would be
legitimate but for the restraint of
the police power. The difference
between such instances and the
present contention is in degree
and not in principle.
"Applied to the present situa
tion, it is very clear that a cream-
Lry, with Its boilers, jmUfcicajas,
delivery trucks, process of; manu
facturing and fire risks jf the
business, requires treatment in
the way of regulation different

Trial Before Army Court
Martial Tribunal Is Halt
ed Until Monday
DEFENSE PLEA DENIED
Motion of Counsel to Dismiss
Case on Grounds of Insuffi
cient Proof js Refused
by Court
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. (By
Associated Press.) Prosecution
and defense counsel battled to a
tie today, with the court martial
tribunal trying Colonel William
Mitchell on charges of conduct
prejudicial to good order and mil
itary discipline sitting as umpire
and finally adjourning the contest
until Monday.
The prosecution headed by Col.
Sherman Moreland, scored first
when the court declined to free
the air officer on a motion by
Representative Frank It. Reid, civ
ilian defense counsel, who con
tended that not a scintilla of evi
dence of guilt had been presents!
against the air officer. The de
fense then scored its victory, the
court deciding it should be per
mitted to call what witnesses it
believed necessary and directing
the prosecution "to take imme
diate steps to proceed" with the
summoning of the long list ot wit
nesses and the production of vol
uminous records from government
files it had requested.
A compromise on the request to
summon three cabinet oiiicers,
Secretaries Davis of the war de
partrnent; Wilbur of the navy and
Jardine of the agriculture, was
effected by the defense and prose
cution attorneys at a conference
called later in the day. It was
cgreed that the presence of the
cabinet members in court would
be waived provided the records in
tneir possession were produced by
authorized agents.
A further compromise is prob
able in the matter of summoning
witnesses from Honolulu and oth
er far away places. Their test!
mony will be sought in the form
fof -depositions to be pffcweti iti-evi-k
dence by the defense. This move
is put forward asa means of ex
reditnig the trial, now threaten
ing to extend over a considerable
period and also to save the gov
ernment the heavy expense of
bringing such witnesses to Wash
ington. Mr. Reid advised the court in
support of his motion to dismiss
the charges and specifications
against Colonel Mlrchell soon af
ter it was called to order by Maj
or General Robert Howze. He de
clored emphatically that the pros
ecution had failed when it rested
its cas'j yesterday, to introduce in
evidence, any of the elements neces
sary' to Constitute the offenses it
charge! in the specifications.
Coconcl Mitchell's criticisms of
the war and navy departments on
the ground that they were in
competent, criminally negligent
and almost theasonable in the con
duct of national defense, Mr. Reid
said, were not made in a way that
proved "intent" to bring discredit
cn the military services and he
c t tended the prosecution bad not
l roved the "intent" as required
by courts martial regulations.
The motion was rejected by the
court after it had listened to a
brief counter argument by Colonel
Moreland, who asserted that the
evidence he had submitted was
sufficient to sustain the charges
and specifications against the de
fendant. Respecting the question of in
tent, Colonel Moreland asked how
it could be established, adding
that Colonel Mitchell's "head can
not be opened or his heart exposed
for the purpose of ascertaining
what he thinks or feels." He de
clared that in the majority of
cases where "intent" was the Is
sue It had been determined ex
clusively by what the defendant
"says and does." ' 4

DEMPSEY'S AGENT QUITS
PUBLICITY MAN SAYS KEW
CONTRACT TO BE BROKEN
LOS ANGELES. Nov. 3. (By
Associated Press). Roy Benton,
who as publicity man for Jack
Dempsey, revealed several months
ago the preliminary negotiations
for a Dempsey-Wills title; match
under Floyd Fitzsimmons" promo
tion some time next year,: an
nounced tonight he was resigning
as press agent and counsellor of
the heavyweight champion rather
than be a party to what he termed
the imminent invalidation o the
contract finally obtained by the
Indiana promoter.
At the same time Benton de
nied reports previously circulated
to t he effect that Dempsey had
discharged him. He said he was
under contract with Dempsey, but
had wired him today in Mexico
City asking to be released and ex
plaining that he wanted "to get
out before a thunderbolt falls."; ,
In adding his voice to the skep
tics' chorus which has. discounted
the Wills - Dempsey - Fitzsimmons
arrangement ever since the parties
took their pens in hand and signed
on the dotted line, Benton admit
ted he could not say just how the
Tmzsimmons' contract would be

He said he had definite infor

resenting Jack Kearns as yrell as

overboard, and that the main pur
pose behind the move was to, give
Kearns at least two more 'Dempsey
fights under the contract he has
with the champion which' does not
expire u ntil next August
As it stands now the Fitzsim
mons' contract prohibits Dempsey
from risking his title before 'giv

WASHINGTON Nov. S.(By

ing of proposals for revision of the
revenue law was completed today
by the house ways and means com- :
mittee and it will start work to
morrow on a bill to reduce taxes.
Yhile asked by Secretary Mel
lon to keep the reductions within
a total of $300,000,000 a: year, a
number of committee members
were prepared tonight to go be
yond this mark to accomplish the
widespread revision in rates dew
sired. - -
In . this connection. President
Coolidge let it be known' that be 1
sees no harm in going aboye this
limit, if necessary and the belief
prevailed tonight that the commit
tee would recommend a reduction
of at least $350,000,000 of the an
nual tax burden. "
How the reduction will be ap
portioned among the various forms
of taxes will be among the first
problems tackled by the, commit
tee in executive session.! Slashes
in the normal and surtax Income
tax rates are expected to account
for about $150,000,000 of the re
duction with the remainder divid
ed among the inheritance tax and
the various miscellaneous and ex
cise rates, many of which probably
will be repealed. ? ,
The committee plans to have a
bill ready for presentation to th
house when congress meets De
cember 7, and Chairman' Green
said today he believed it would
take little time in reaching deci
sions on new rate schedules. H
will insist that the income tax
reductions be made effective for

taxes are paid next year.
