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.

Rio Janeiro, Dec. 5. 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

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.

H. H. 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

mew Contracts, if the public refuses to

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
During all the years the Ford Model T One-Ton Truck has been on
the market, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble.- We
have had no complaints of motor trouble. 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. They could not be had at any
Price. .'.'';
