Williams' Apartment House Ruling Is in Error Star SPECIAL MEETING ASKED Regulation of Apartment Houses "Within Scope of Authority, Executive says, Peti- tlons Approved - J A blow was dealt the -recent apartment house opinion handed down by Fred A. Williams, city attorney, when Mayor; John B. Giesy. at tbe meeting of-the city planning and zoning commission last night showed ' that the ' city ordinance dealing with building permits differentiates between dwelling houses and apartment houses and apartment houses. The opinion given by Fred Wil liams, which was read at the meet ing, concerns an amendment to the effect that the city council, and through- it the commission, has no jurisdiction over the issu ing of - building permits for dwell ing houses. Williams held that the legal definition of dwelling also includes apartment houses. Mayor Giesy- called attention to another section of tbe ordinance that draws a distinction ' between dwelling houses and apartments. It states that a dwelling house shall be construed to be n resi dence for not more than two families, and that It may have a maximum of 15 rooms for boarders. An apartment house, on . thje other hand, is defined as a build ing that has self-contained apart ments for three or more families. each with conveniences of Its own. In keeping with this section of h ordinance, the mayor stated. . a . . l euy council nas auinoriiy over jartment houses just as much as over other business buildings. When- the mayor had finished, Williams admitted that he might "have been mistaken in his ruling. ; .. , '' A petition for onft atory build ing to be used as a general store. situated on Norway treet Between Capital and Summer streets, was referred to a committee consisting of Hugh Rogers, city engineer; Karl Becke and TJ. S. Swart, for further consideration. Decision on a petition for a laundry between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets on B was post poned until a public hearing had , been given at the next regular " meeting of the commission, Sep tember 27. The members had learned of a remonstrance against this laundry, so decided to post pone action. A petition for an addition to an apartment honse situated at Thir teenth and State streets, which had been granted by the city coun cil with the cdinmiott that tfre commission and city engineer ap proved, was approved, so the per mit will be granted.

(AP) Premier Mussolini believes that the star of destiny protects him from assassins and that he will die a natural, death. That is what he told Robert H. (Bob) Davis of the New York Sun who was the American received by the premier after Saturday's attempt on' his life. Mr. Davis has written the following account of his interview for The Associated Press. "I saw Mussolini in the very room at the Chigi Palace, -I.,-, - - -.r.-.r--i - - - -j- - - - -I.,- - - - - i tvm the windows of which he addressed an impassioned speech to the people after the third at tempt on his--life in the last 10 months. He rose from his desk piled high with unfinished busi ness and gave the fascist salute as I entered. I returned the sa lute and met him standing, as he came out in the space before his desk. "An interpreter stepped for ward, but the premier laughingly said: 'If you speak slowly I shall understand you. Behind me was an attendant bearing a 50 pound package of American newspaper clippings that I had brought with me from home at the request of the management of The Associat ed Press for delivery to Premier Mussolini. " 'What is this you have?' cried Mussolini. 'Something lor me open.' I explained that it repre sented one day s space devoted by American newspapers to one of his recent cabled .utterances. " 'The American press, has never slighted Italy,' he said. We have received always much considera tion and justice from your coun try. To America, I always speak frankly. You ask why I do not pro tect what you call my person from these assassins? There is no need My star protects me as Italy is protected. I shall die a natural death. As I live now there must be adventure and I must be free to come and go- among the people, Always my people.' "As Premier Mussolini thus emphasized 'my people I remark ed: 'In 60 years the population of Italy las increased from 20 to 40 millions. You have few colonial outlets. What Is to become of "Mussolini threw up his head like a bull buffalo projecting his great square chin. His eyes, which are banked fires even in placid moods, began to flame. His right arm went up and his white teeth snapped with Rooseveltian stac cato. 'And your birth rate ex ceeds 500,000 per annum.' I add ed.

Sept. 13. (AP) A. Ward, 72, was burned to death on his farm west of Eu gene today when a grass fire swept over a field.

Moore of Corvallis, pres ident of the state lime board, vis ited the state lime plant at the penitentiary yesterday, and he went away well pleased, as he had cause to be For he is the father of the in dustry in Oregon. He commenced plugging for agricultural lime 14 years ago. He' found the soil on his farm getting sick; sicker every year. He had it analyzed. The experts at the Oregon Agricultural college told him his soil was sour and needed sweetening j remedy, lime. ; , He reasoned that if his land needed lime, so did that of his neighbors, and every one else in this section. Lime was fright it could be had at only prohibitive prices for most farmers. So he began agitating for a state lime plant. The legislature authorized this, in 1917, with an insignificant appropriation. The state lime plant was built at Gold Hill. It did a lot of good. But it was too far away from most of the farms of Oregon needingUme, in the Willamette valley and coast coun ties. It cost too much freight. And the overhead and labor costs were too high, and the power and other costs and the machinery and equipment were wearing out. So It Was Moved And there were no funds to do the necessary repairing and re placing. So the plant was moved to the penitentiary last spring. It turned out a lot of lim a last spring, anl all summer, too. Enough to recoup the revolving fund for the expenses of building the new plant and reconditioning the machinery, etc. Lately, with new terms and the spreading of the sentiment in fa vor of the use of lime, and the smooth running of the plant, and the saving made on the new prices the cost amounting to about half what it was before for farmers near Salem, and the better terms of selling, orders have been piling up. Part of the lower cost is on account or the greater purity of the lime now turned out. It now comes from a new source, at Wil derville, near Gold Hill. The pris on plant is turning out a product guaranteed 99 per cent pure. The plant when at Gold Hill turned out a product as tow as 75 per cent pure; average about 80' per cent. That meant a lot of waste on freight and for handling about 400 pounds of useless rock for Industrial Training Pays School Authority States Parents Should Have Children Trained for Intelligent Labor, and Earning; School Facilities Await Develop ment Here SSI Petition Granted Counting; all equipment of colleges, academies, public schools and libraries, Salem has the best educational plant in influences upon the attending school population.

Tax laws should be altered to help the corporations, Mr. Hawley believes, as at present the capital stock tax and others work a hard ship on them. They discriminate in favor of the business carried on Tv nersons and partnerships, so that many of the big corporations will break up into smaller, units and wUl be unable to carry on much of the important business done by corporations.

"You can't squeeze more sugar out ot a sugar beet than there is in it," he said. "I am not plead ing that the debt be cancelled, nor on the other hand do I think w Bhould take the face value o: what these countries owe when they cannot pay." The United States is the only nation in the world that has paid all its war obligations, Mr. Hawley stated. The one that comes near est is England, which pays 83 cents on the dollar. France is only paying 50 cents on the dollar The problems that faced con gress at the end of the war were reduction of taxes, reduction of aDDroDriations. and reduction of public debt, according to Mr. Haw ley. The public debt has been reduced from 25 billion dollars to 19 H billion. If the allied nations had all paid their debts to this country, our government woum now owe only 8 A billions. The difference must be borne by the taxpayers of the country.
