"" THE DESTROYER OF LI FE -"Thou shalt not go up and down 'as a talebearer among thy people; I am tbe Lord Lev. 19:16: MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP 1 , , vf In principle, the writer does not believe in municipal ownership; does not believe in the federal, stator other "" government doing anything that can be as well or better done by private citizens or organized private citizens in the form of companies- ' ' i I Believes, in the language of Thomas Jefferson, that "that government governs best that governs least." But in such a utility 'as water, as much needed as air . for the. support of life, there' is an exception to the general principle . V - And Salem' finds herself in a position in which she can be more efficiently accommodated through municipal owner ship than with private ownership " Can, borrow money at low rates and build larger mains, looking to, future growth; can secure a mountain power supply and later get a gravity system, doing away with the mounting cost of pumping, and besides have power as a by product to sell. " . - This does not mean that Salem must retail this power, through an electric lighting and power system. There would . be objections to tins, especially if distributors were at hand offering the city the properfjayment for the use of her by product, power. - VrrtvJn - " ' The time is now at haiToixtls forward action ; for this forward look. Every dar tae consummation , is delayed makes a risk for cheap nbbntain water and power supply; a risk that we should not iske- gelay and inaction. S".-;.f J JL TWMrJh MAAAdAdiA f AiiaJ4 A A AJf Ma V Was It accident the winning of both debates by Salem, Oregon, Itlgh, school teams over Salem, Massachusetts high school teams? " The Salem, Oregon, teams supported both the arrirmatiTe and the nega tire o the aueshon and won both. Doesn't that mean that . ' the Tictories were on ability, Bot' accident? , r :- "The East and an other' parts' of the" United States are a great country : People la all those parts are a wonderful people. , , . ijZ We. of the West, particularly on the Pacific coast, unconsciously attribute preponderance of talent, accomplishment "and culture to ' those oath Atlantic side of America. And those 6a that side unmis 'ak'ablBold that view. , "'jBut these high school debaters jar that theory. An O. A. C. . debatfg team beat nearly all of the nine MId-Weat and Eastern 'Teams It met two years ago. . , JIsn't. it probable that. the mighty mountain ranges, the vast out doors with its room for free moTement, the great nature pictures, the sublimity of perspective; the uncrowded and uncramped life and the magnificent distances which 'lessen provincialism inspire bigger " an' . broader thoughts, , and give , the West more powerful mental vscopet", ' " . ' ,'.. ; 1 --."i,'r'''"-'-'' The above, including the heading" is from the Portland Journal of Sunday ', . : And it is well put . i " i j There is another fact in favor of Salem, Oregon, over Salem, Mass. The Massachusetts Salem claims a population df over 47,000, nearly twice the population of our Salem t ' But the high school enrollment of the Massachusetts Saliem is only 1460, with grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. That is, they have no. junior high school thereat In our Salem high school proper, "with grades 10, 11 and 12, we have an enroll .roent of 1154; had that number yesterday, and, we have' en rolled in the ninth" grade of our junior high school 446 pupils- 'r z -" . . :; ' -a;4. In. other words, Salem, Massachusetts, nearly, twice as large as our Salem, has 140 less high j school' students than are attending the Salem public schools in the same grades. .The explanation, or part of it, is the. fact that our boys ind" girls are more ambitious on the average than those of the Massachusetts Salem; more anxious to prepare them selves well for the duties and the high callings of life and this' is true generally of our coast' country,- as compared with the eastern' sections of the United States, especially those iilong the Atlantic coast. lHurrahtfor the Salem high school! .And hurrah for the Salem Salem high school debating teams ;both of theml ' jt -! i(And, had they been defeated, they would have shown themselves, good sports; also their, managers and coaches.)

H Salem canners are going to pack over a million cases of fruit this year and it is only a little while back when 30,000 cases was considered a' big pack. Only about 15 years back. ooe'o The state lime plant . cannot keep up with the orders.: That means a great deal for this val ley and the coast counties. It will be a great thing if the state plant has to double Its capacity ef 40 tons a day. That time is coming. This is a great country, with practically every acre, of lnd acid. and capable of produc ing better crops through the use of agricultural lime. Better in some cases to the - extent of doubling the crops, even on very good soil. And on other soils making- good crops possible where" nothing but poverty grass and weeds will now grow.

They are using our streets, ; and no . one else's. Certainly, we should have some thing coming back from the buses to pay for their share of the up keep of the streets." jv4CIty Attorney Williams pointed out that under the stree car fran chise . each - car- pays an annual IIetne v fee of $50. Under . the state' law -the franchise gives' the company exclusive rights in the clljr. He declared that the city can lower the fee to $25, if the eompanjr- will accept the change. But later, if it should be found feasible to raise it again to $50, the company could refuse, the raise. "You are giving them the same rights in this ordinance as you gave them in tbe original fran chise," he said, "while you are re lieving them of a part of their tax burden and at the same time re ducing the license fee." Alderman Patton and Thomp son also expressed the belief that tne fee should remain at $50 in stead of being reduced to $25. In explaining why he had called the informal meeting, Mayor Giesy stated that the charge had been made by some aldermen that the ordinance had been passed when only 10 aldermen were present, and that a full discussion of the measure had not 'been had. In spite of the discussion, the council refused, by a vote of 6 to 5, to ask for the calling of a special meeting to reconsider its vote on ths bus ordinance.. t P. W. Pettyjohn. 365 N.
