good portion of which will be of
standard)' construction, between Al
bany and Foster and Cascadia,
Ore., by way of Lebanon and Sweet
Home. Four branches have been
projected; and a fifth surveyed:
The main line as mapped by the
surveyors cost about jl. 000, 000
and the branch lines probabl)
$750,000 more. The length of the
road may not be as great as the
line now surveyed however. Be
tween Albany and Lebanon the
new line would closely parallel an
existing Southern racific line. No
one familiar with such affairs
would be greatly surprised were
the interstate commerce commis
sion dictate that construction be

Application of the logging road
company for permission to build
was filed with the state and inter

The timber to be directly tapped
exceeds 20.000.000,000 feet, and

Dean Straub has loved them all.

He Is still straight as an arrow;

charter before filing It for the
! election.
Then if the cnarter is placed on
the ballot, the public will have SO
days in which to become familiar
with it. That might be consider
ed sufficient time, but in view of
the misconceptions that have al
ready arisen, it is certainly none
too much.
Safeguards Ample
It is reported, for instance, that
the city manager would have al
most autocratic power; for in
stance, to fixe the salaries of sub
ordinate employes. This is not
true; the charter says that the
manager shall fix these salaries,
subject to the approval of the
council.
As a matter of fact, the mana
ger's powers are in every way
safeguarded against abuse; es
pecially in the provision that he
shall be chosen for no definite
period, but may be removed by
the vote of three members of the
council at any time. He is en
titled to a hearing if removed, but
the council's subsequent decision
is final.
Prejmlice Observed
In this, respect the charter can
scarcely be criticized adversely,
but there to certain to be some
prejudice against entrusting the
entire business of the' city to one
officer, and a thorough campaign
of education will be necessary to
remove this objection, if it ever is
removed. The manager plan works
admirably in nearly every case
where it is adopted; but Salem
people will have to be convinced
of this, and they will not be con
vinced, over night.
One other objection to placing
the charter revision ou 4he ballot
is the question that has been
raised as to the legality of the fil
ing 30 days before the election.
This question may presumably be
settled by securing competent
legal opinion, but that should be
done before the situation becomes
hopelessly involved.
- The proposed charter provides
that It shall go Into effect on Jan
uary 1 following its adoption, so
that a vote in November would
cause ft to be put in operation as

Is it caused by overwork either mental or physical or
is it due to a condition of the system known as "over
acidity"? ,
Scientists claim the latter cause to be largely responsible
for lack of endurance, and emphasize the vital importance 4
of maintaining the "Chemical Balance" that margin by
which alkaU exceeds acid in the blood. .
This natural tonic is Alkaline, in action neutralizes the
acid and supplies mineral elements which are absolutely
essential to health.
