Doughton Invites Polk, Marion
Meeting Here on December 16
Mayor L M- Doughton has invited municipal authorities and
interested citizens of Polk and Marion counties to a dinner meet
ing at the Golden Pheasant restaurant at 6:30 p. m. to exchange
information and ideas on present and future municipal problems.
Salem has been asked by Mayor
John H. Houston, president of the
League of Oregon Cities, to hold
this meeting oft officials, one of a
series of 21 meetings, being held
throughout the state this fall and
winter by the league.
The development of policies and
specific community programs de
signed to meet postwar conditions
will be one of the primary objec
tives of the cities regional meet
ings this year. Public works pro
gramming, juvenile delinquency,
housing and other war and post
war problems are scheduled for
consideration.
Meeting - with, representatives
from this area will be Dr. Victor
P. Morris, dean of the school of
business administration at the Un
iversity of Oregon; Mayor John
H. Houston of Klamath Falls,
league president; Orval Etter,
league legal consultant; and Her
man Kehrli, league executive sec
retary and director of the univer
sity's bureau of municipal re
search and service.
"Every community faces the
possibility of a municipal 'Pearl
Harbor when peace comes, said
Mayor Houston in calling the
regional meetings. Houston has
Just returned from a nation
wide conference of city officials
and league representatives In
Chicago. "We have been doing
a lot af talking about postwar
planning , bat have not taken
enough action. Each communi
ty will be faced with the dilem
ma of continuing the high sal
aries and plentiful job situation
of the war economy on 'through
the peace economy."
Recommending immediate or
ganization of planning groups in
each community and the appoint
ment of city budget committees
by January 1 so that long-range
programs can be included in the
1944-45 city budgets, Mayor Hous
ton states, I believe the most
successful solution of the postwar
shock, which will be faced by ev
ery town in the state, can best be
solved by a unified organization
of the city, council, school, and
civic groups. In order to do this
job well, it will require the com
plete cooperation of every citi
zen in each community and of the
groups that represent them.
"It is my personal feeling that
each community should endeavor
to finance the postwar costs in
stead of looking to Washington for
assistance. This results in the
community getting the work done
for less money to the taxpayer, and
at the same time, keeping full
control and supervision over any
project entered into.
"I believe the league of Ore
gon Cities will be of tremendous
assistance to the towns and cities
of Oregon in support of the post
war campaign. The advice, coun
sel, and cooperative help which
the league can give to its mem
bers, cannot be estimated in the
maintaining of the peace and the
American living to which our boys
are looking forward to returning.
"The league will take the firm
stand that, as communities of Am
erica, we shall never go back for
the way is forward for freedom.
Since 1925 the league of Oregon
Cities has been the medium of di
rect exchange of information and
experience on specific problems
of .city government and the ve
hicle for securing united action
among the cities of the state.
League membership now totals
147 cities including every city of
more than 1000 population in the
state.

SHS Band Gets
15 Tons Paper
An estimated 15 tons of waste
paper was collected last week by
members of the Salem high school
band in a campaign which began
December 9 and will continue
through this week, Vernon Wis
carson, director of the band and
advisor for the group, announced
Monday that the south part of the
city has not yet been covered by
students in trucks.
Householders having paper to
give to the drive, should stack it
in bundles on the porch or at the
curbing, so it can be seen from
the street, said Wiscarson.
Citation ribbons and sleeve em
blems, will be bought for band
uniforms with the money from
the waste paper drive.

"Judge not lest ye be judged Is
good advice from the highest sour
ces but scarcely anyone follows
It, People judge another by their
behavior, - in the light of what
they think behavior ought to be.
When judgments prove erroneous,
those who did the judging' are
embarrassed. .
Something of that nature, It was
discovered ' by Salem Elks who
were privileged to see the preview
of the Elk's charity show "Fresh
Fields" -at the state penitentiary
Sunday, is what happens to some
of the characters in the play. Since
they are a bit on the dignified or
der, and since embarrassment to
dignity is a sure-fire comedy sit
uation, there are a lot of hearty
laughs in this year's show.
Members of the Elks show com
mittee said the penitentiary aud
ience , was frequently convulsed
with laughter, and they were even
more positive than before In pre
dicting that every person who
views the show at the Elks tem
ple this week will enjoy it greatly.
The first performance, they ad
ded, was smoother " than any in
recent years. The show is being
staged by the Salem Civic Play
ers. "Fresh Fields will be offeredl
to the general public Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday nights in
cidentally at no increase from the
admission price of other years.
There's no "inflation in connec
tion with this annual attraction.
Tickets may be obtained at the
Elks' temple or from any Elk.
Oregon Couples
File Separate
Tax Returns -
Requests or applicationblanks
to be filled out by married cou
ples electing to hold their pro
perty under the new community
property law have come flooding
into the state elections bureau
since the circuit court of appeals
at Denver handed down an opin
ion validating the similar Okla
homa law with respect to its bear
ing on federal income taxation.
Purpose of the law, enacted by
the 1943 Oregon legislature, is to
afford married couples the same
privilege enjoyed by couples in
western states, of filing separate
federal income tax returns even
though their incomes are from the
same sources. Heretofore separate
federal returns, making it possible
to escape higher tax brackets, have
been valid only if husband and
wife had incomes from separate
osurces.
When the bill, sponsored by
Sen. Lew Wallace and Rep. Wil
liam Niskanen, was before the leg
islature, it was declared that on
ly couples with substantial in
comes would benefit. A filing fee
is required for the reason that cer
tificates of the "election" must be
recorded in every Orego ncounty.
Legislators warned that a num
ber of legal tangles would develop
for those coming under the op
tional community property law.

Cheap Power
Aids Aluminum
Says Stout
Low-cost Bonneville power is of
such advantage in economical pro
duction of aluminum that the Pa
cific northwest aluminum indus
try will be ' in favorable position
to survive after the war, George
R. Stout, manager of the Alumi
num Company of America plant
at Troutdale told Salem chamber
of commerce members at their
luncheon Monday.
He explained that electric pow
er is a major item of cost; that
Bonneville power on a "kilowatt
year basis costs 2 cents per pound
of aluminum whereas the average
cost is 3'4 cents and in some of
the "war baby" eastern plants it

is. close to 10 cents a pound. Since
ingot aluminum is sold at 15 cents
a pound, these plants win have
no place in peacetime production,
Stout pointed but -
The Pacific coast is now turn
ing out one-third of the greatly
expanded wartime output of alum
inum; the speaker said. Opportun
ity for further expansion of the
fabrication phase of the industry
here was pointed out in view of
the potential market in the orient.
Describing the electrolytic pro
cess whereby aluminum oxide, or
alumina, is reduced to aluminum,
Stout pointed out that the only
by-product is carbor dioxide which
is odorless and colorless, in men
tioning that various false rumors
had circulated to the effect that
an aluminum plant is a "bad
neighbor.'
The speaker was introduced by
Charles A. Sprague.

Employment Service
Receives Calls
For Office Workers
Heaviest demand for typists and
stenographers since early spring
is noted at the Salem office of
the US employment service, Y.
H. Baillie, manager, said Monday.
Requirements' are not as strict

Baillie said, and salaries range
from $110 to $150 for typists and

stenographers. Experience or train
