IT. Scott Page, president of tho
ITnited States National Bank, C.
E. Albiu, ex-mayor, and Watson
Townsend, member of the city
council, last night were named by
Dr. II. II. Olinfier as a special com
mittee to draw up a tentative
charter incorporating the council
nianagcr system of ity govern

The committee will , base its
charter upon that now used in the
city of Berkeley which is consid

ern charters- in the United. States.
The aU ion -was takfen laBt night
at a meeting held .at the state
library of tbo general committee
.appointed by ,Mayor T. A. Lives-
ley" recently to work out a new
system-of gjvernment for the city
to take the place of the council
system now in use.
Members of the committee went
over several forms brought to
their atteption by State Librarian
Cornalia Marvin, among them two
model charters developed by the
National Municipal corporation,
and finally decided to use the
Berkeley plan as a basis for the
contemplated one for Salem.
Miss Marvin pointed out Jhat it
probably would be difficult to se
cure a competent manager at the
salary of $5000 stipulated in the
report adopted at the last meet
ing. The difference in efficiency
under a good manager would more
than offset a greater salary paid,
she said.

general, who made a recent trip
to Astoria, and who was to make
a special report to the committee
on the operation of the council

The motion pictures to be shown

They depict the cruise of the Norge

RESURRECTION ACCEPTED
Analogous And Scriptural Beliefs
Quoted By Dr. Cane
Proofs that men of today can
accept .the resurrection of Christ
were offered to Salem Rotarians
yesterday by Dr. John Martin
Cause, president of Kimball
School of Theology.
Both analogous and scriptural
beliefs were offered in support of
resurrection's authenticity , with
comparisons of their success to
Jthat of the opposition represented
by German rationalism and the
French revolution of soul and
body. German ideas, through a
period of progression, came near
disrupting the world in a struggle
of fonr years, and French philoso
phy has been, noted principally for
its failure to satisfy the questions
Of life.
American agnosticism was char
acterized as a shrivelling minori
ty in the thought channels of the
country, by the speaker, as com
pared to the achievements made
through belief in Christ and his
principles. i
