MJK CITY
Advantages of the city man
ager form o! government propos
ed for "Salem over the present
and c6mmislo informs were out
lined to the Retail Credit asso
ciation Friday noon by Douglas
McKay, mayor.
"Don't get the Idea this Is be
ing pushed to give any present
councilman or city officer a Job;
it isn't and to be sure the public
realizes this, a clause in the pro
posed charter forbids any such
official from consideration," Mc
Kay said.
He holds the chief advantages
of a managerial form will be
three-fold; centralization of re
sponsibility; less conducive to
politics; and much more business
like. He believes that a better
class of men will be induced to
hold council Jobs, because petty
politics and petty duties will be
erased. - ,
He cited instances In other
city manager cities where labor
has entirely approved this form
of city government, and declared
he expected the people here to
vote the proposal, which sets the
city government up just as a cor
poration is set up.
City government, to be run
most efficiently, should be con
ducted on the most efficient bas
is, should be conducted in a cold
blooded business method, which
the mayor holds Impossible when
ahe same men are expected' to be
fitted for both legislative and ad
ministrative branches, when in
reality their forte Is one or the
other.

Aladdimi Magic
THE OLD ADAGE, "Man toils from sun to sun, but
woman's work is never done," is only partially true today.
Science has taken an interest in the home of late years,
and has done much to lighten the burdens of household
tasks.
i
Science has harnessed electricity to make it perform
a sort of "Aladdin magic." It works for us, twenty-four
hours a day - and its pay is low considering the labors
it accomplishes. It furnishes light and heat. It sweeps the
carpets and polishes the floors. It runs the sewing machine
and washes the dishes. It toasts the bread and percolates
the morning cup of coffee. It beats the eggs; it stirs the
dough and bakes the bread?: and last, but not least, it fur
nishes the power for the radio to entertain day and night.
You leam of these, and many other time and labor
saving devices through the advertisements. They keep
you informed of new tilings and give you dependable facts
on which to base a purchase. These are good reasons for
believing a product is "better because it's advertised."
BRIDGES IS TALKED
Further delays in starting con
struction work on the five bridges
which it is proposed to construct
on the Oregon coast highway was
indicated Friday when J. M. Dev
ers, attorney for the state high
way commission, received a tale
gram from Washington that the
task of preparing the bond con
tract had been retarded because
of pressure of other applications.
The telegram bore the signa
ture of E. P. Foley, assistant gen
eral counsel for the federal pub
lic works administration. The con
tract in question will have to be
signed by both the Oregon state
highway commission and the pub
lic works administration before
construction operations can pro
ceed.
Devers said he probably would
leave for Washington next Tues
day night where he would seek
the assistance of Senator McNary
and Representative Martin in hope
of expediting the preparation of
the contract -
to the wool, clean basis, Boston.
