SATURDAY, DECEMBER G, 1919. PAUE TWO. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, FEOPOSIL TO RAISE TtACHERS SALARIES PRESAGES BIG VOTE Everything Is in readiness for the election here Monday when the tax payer of the city will vote on wheth , r or not teachers in Salem's schools wta receive a salary equal to other leaser crafts. Much importance is at lacbeil to the election, and much de- ycnda on the decision of the voters. , While the teachers have 'not open-j ir declared that they will resign to accept positions paying a better sal-, arjr. they have made it plain that un law they are able to live on a plane with the average citizen, Salem can not expect eff ciency in teaching. Need Established Reports and figures have been pub lished showing the comparative wages ff the school teachers here and per Hons engaged in other work. They all tend to show that the teacher rcpre renting one of the highest craftsis receiving a wage lower than the man who plants the tile for the city's sew jars. Other comparisons equally a s .Ktriking have been shown. The proposed rise in teachers sal Aries has been highly endorsed by al most every" organisation in the city. City Superintendent of Schools John IV". Todd and County School Superin tendent W. M. Smith have both spok- In favor of the raise as a boon to abetter teaching efficiency and an im iMrored school system in the city. Qualifications Listed If this election polls as former ones probably 500 persons will vote on the issue. The ' paramount importance of this election, however, leads some to believe that a great many more tax tpayers will vote Monday. Any man or woman who has been 'in the city 30 days preceding the election Monday, and who owns prop erty here, as shown by . the latest county assessment, and has not been assessed by the sheriff, is eligible to Tate for the raise. : The only poll in the city is at the ample room of the Hotel Marion. It trill be open from 2 p. m. to 7 p. m., giving all a chance to vote. Mrs. Ross Moore, with. Mrs. Ida Babcoek and Miss Minnie Evans as assistants, has charge of the election. We require thorough preparation from all teachers before accepting tliem in Salem schoois. Salaries must be Increased to hold the experienced teachers now on our payroll ind to enable us to secure competum ir.struc lors to fill vacancies which occur dur xg the year. The budget to be voted upon Monday represents the lowest possible amount which we can get along with if we are to keep up the present standard of our schools. It you have children in school or If Ton are interested in the general wel fare of this community, vote for the .School Budget Monday. We cannot afford tp lower our standard of education in Salem. ; E. T. BARNES, School Board.

Reports of oil fields with a capacity of 500,000,000 barrels a year have been brought here by engineers returning from explora tion and survey of the east coast states of Alagoas, Pernambuco and Bahia. They said there were 85 fields com prising 25,000 square kilometers. , The Brazilian government, it was learned today, already is importing drilling machinery preparatory to pus ing the explorations. American offi cials are collecting information to for ward to Washington. Meanwhile it is understood, French, British and Dutch interests afe quiet ly buying- up options in the new territory. EMBARGO OiN FUEL OIL SHIPMENTS IS CALLED Washington, Dec 6. The railroad administration today placed an embar go on all shipments of fuel oil, effec tive December 8, from western states to points cast of. Chicago and St. Louis except for export and industrial plants which were converted for use of oil prior to November 1. Necessity for the embargo, the rail road administration explained, arose from the fact that the coal shortage had caused thousands of plants in the east to change their power from coai to oil which has resulted in increased freight traffic.

OLINGER. I am in favor of adopting the school iMidget, granting the teachers the raise in salary for which they have petitioned: First, because consider ing the education required for that character of service the teachers are underpaid; second, because the dol lar of today is only vorth 47 cents in purchasing power and the teach ers will still be receiving- less than they formerly received in actual value: lhird, because of the splendid attitude of the teachers towards the ' schools the public and this increase In salary; ihey are not threatening to strike; they are only asking fair treatment, and their attitude should be com-, mended; fourth, because while I do not rear for the remainder of thi rear, for I believe the teachers will fulfill their contracts, yet I do fear for lhe future, when it comes to making mew Contracts, if the public refuses to recognize the adverse conditions un iSer which our teaching force is labor ing.

As the motor and the rear axle are the vital fundamentals in a motor truck, we have the right to con clude that the Ford One-Ton Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and economic way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which comes fronv long practical experience. Ford One-Ton Trucks are serving along all in dustrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One-Ton Truck would not be as large as it is,' because people are not buying trucks which do not, give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One-Ton, the truck in all classes of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer and contlactor, in these days of modern, business methods, this worm driven One-Ton Ford Truck has become a virtual necessity. We can make prompt delivery on Ford Trucks. Don't hesitate. Place your order TODAY, and assure yourself of a truck when you need it. You know fhe condition last season.
