Council Refuses (Continued from page one) ers interested, to purchase the au to camp at a price of $7000. This sum included the property, at a price of $3900, and the equipment at $3100. Many months ago the aldermen decided that they could not, as a body, buy the grounds, so it was suggested that the pro posal be placed before the people at an election. Last Monday night the two ordinances, one calling for the election January 12, and the other for the purchase of the park at $7000 were killed through the influence of councilmen who con tended that the equipment, valued by its owner, the Commercial club, at $3100, ought not to be bought. Last night this argument waB again revived. let People Vote, Plea. This is simply a little sharp business on the part of the Com mercial club," Alderman Vande vort declared. "They tell us that the $7000 proposal is the only one we cai consider. I don't believe it." All we ask you to do is let the people decide," said Dr. Utter, in urging that the Monday night vote be reconsidered. "This is one of the most important questions that has been beforv the council ln years. If we don't acquire the park it will, in all probability, become a privately owned camp and I'm against such a thing. Forget your quibbling and let the people have a chance." W. M. Hamilton, speaking for the Federated clubs, emphasized the same point in his short talk. This is a matter for tho peo ple," he insisted. "The council should not rule on this question." Schunke Defends Club. Alderman Schunke spoke at length in defending the Commer cial club. Some time ago the club saw a chance to do something big for the city," he explained. "It took over the camp. It spent a good fleal of money. Now it has something to sell and it is entitled to a fair price. The auto camp, I believe, is a good buy, and if the city does n't take it, it may become a pri vately owned enterprise. That, I think! would be highly unsatisfac tory." In the vote whicn rouoweu me motion to reconsider went down to defeat. None of the opponents of the election, with the exception oi Alderman Vandevort, offered an explanation of his vote. Well, we've eot you on recoru this time," Alderman Utter ob served. , ' i.ittl. other than tne special election was considered at last night's meeting. 275 Attend Open House of Hi Y Club Last Night One of the best open house en tertainments every staged by the association was put on last night in the Y.

THE CAPITAL JOUKNAL, SALEM, OREGON Calif ornians Getting Choice OfEspeeCars California shippers are getting the pick ot the cars available on the Southern Pacific lines while the shippers of Oregon must be content with what is left, accord' ing to Fred A Williams, chair man of the public service commis sion, states that many complaints are reaching the offices of the commission here relative to the Inability to dry cars during wln ter months for the shipment ot grain and grain products. Williams today sent a telegram to tho Southern Pacific company calling attention to this situation which he declares to be inex cusable. "While other roads are able to take care of their patrons prop erly it seems very strange especi ally during these times, that the Southern Pacific should be In capable of doing likewise," Wil liams' telegram reads. ' One shipper has complained that it required ten days to secure two cars for a cereal shipment on the Southern Pacific lines. , "Offhand we wouldl say Call fornia is getting first choice and Oregon what is left," Williams' telegram concludes. 1 Violations of Liquor Laws ; Charged To 4 Two men were ln the city jail, two more were out on bail and 10 Mi quarts of liquor were cached at police headquarters this morn ing as a result of four arrests made about 11 o'clock last night by men from the forces ot Chief, of Police Mofiftt and Sheriff 0- D. Bower. , Those arrested are James Law rln, of the Baker apartments; Al bert. Jones, 232 North Fourteen yi street, and Fred Scheman and Thomas Sheehan, of the Rutland hotel. All are charged with violating the prohibition law, and are cited to appear this afternoon before Police Judge Earl Race. Following the raids all ot the four men were at first placed in the city Jail, but later Lawrin and Jones each furnished $50 bail and were released. Arresting officers were Chief of Police Moffitt, Officers O. F. Vic tor and Elmer White and Deputy Sheriff Walter Barber. ' Portlander, 56 Hikes To Salem In Day It took Fred Robin, 56 years of age, 14 hours to walk from Port land to Salem. Mr. Robin, who is a member of the Oregon Trail club. strolled into the city last night at 1 1 o'clock. He timed nimseu from the Oregon Journal building, in Portland, to the Marion hotel here. ' ' ' . "It was the first long hike I've taken on Davement and I don't care much for it," Mr. Robin said today. "I much prefer walking on turf."

Robin will return to Port land this afternoon by train. Grange Opposes . State Tax Levy to Support Fair Plneetie Or.. Dec. 10.

This amount in cludes $15,031,055.14 ot state funds, $2,181,956.65 ot federal co-operative funds, $985,831.42 of county funds and $46,378.16 ot railway funds. , In addition to these amounts the state highway department has supervised the surveys and loca tion ot market roads involving the ultimate expenditure of approxi mately $2,000,000. 1 Construction work completed by the department during the year includes 188 miles of pavement, 499 miles of macadam and 504 miles of grading, a total of 1191 miles of improved highways. It has also completed 98 bridges dur ing the year at an aggregate cost ot approximately $1,444,180. . Overhead Hitch. Nunn's statement shows an overhead cost for the year of 5.98 per cent ot the total expenditure. This overhead cost Includes the following items: Expense of high way commission and secretary; ex pense of legal department; audit ing; cost-keeping;, testing mater ials; road maps and information reports; bridge designs for coun ties; enginering work furnished to counties; surveys and engineering tor market roads; state surveys for co-operative construction; all en gineering for construction on state and co-operative roads, and the supervision of maintenance. The department's overhead cost account compares very favorably with tbe showing of other states for engineering costs alone, ac cording to Nunn. ; A total net earning for the year amounting to $128,394.19 is shown by the state highway de partment shops, according to Nunn, who declares this to be "one of the most profitable departments within the state highway organ isation." Shows Good Profit. "Many ot the States have com plained bitterly of the war depart ment, Nunn declares, but by the establishment ot state shops to re build this equipment and adapt it for road work the state of Oregon has been able to show a handsome profit. The state highway depart ment carries, a special account for the equipment department and nil costs are carefully segregated and audited. , "The department shows at this time that the total charges against Its warehouses, shops and equip ment amount to only $166,390.40 and as against this total charge the department has equipment to the value of $823,000 and shops, warehouses and small tools to the value of $60,000 or a total of $883,000. Besides this, approxi mately $500,000 In equipment has been alloted to the counties. The counties have paid only the cost of freight and alterations. Equipment Chareres. "During the year the total charges against tbe equipment de partment, including equipment, labor and other charges amounted to $391,459.79 and the total cred its to tbe department were $519, 853.98, showing a total net earn ing of $128,394.19. "Thirty-five counties of the state are furnished parts and equipment at cost plus a handling charge to tbe state and the prin cipal earnings are from trucks and machinery owned by the depart ment and rented to contractors do ing state work."

T. B. Kay, Ivan G. Martin, J. W. Mayo, Judge W. M. Bushey, I. L. Patterson, C. A. Park, George P. Griffith, and T. E. McCroskey were among the speakers. At last night's meeting senti ment was strong against truck drivers, who overload their vehi cles and in consequence damage greatiy the roads of the county. Many members of the federation told of the evil as it affected their respective communities. A suggestion that each vehicle owner be. required to pay a ton nage tax was made by Mr. Kay, state representative. This form of taxation, Mr. Kay held, would be far more just than . the one which requires truck men to pay on the weight of their vehicles. That the gasoline tax is unjust to the average farmer was the contention of J. W. Mayor, vice president of the First National bank, of Stayton, who addressed, the meeting. "I am in favor ofj taxing the man who uses the A suggestion that all should report to the authorities viola tions of the law in regarding to loading.

New Natatorium May Be Erected Plans for the construction of a new natatorium In Salem to cost approximately between $8000 and $10,000 are now being considered by Will E, Purdy, connected with the Oregon Baths. Mr, Purdy stated this morning that he had options on three lo cations, the first between State and Mill streets on High where the Ira Jorgenson blacksmith nhop is located, and the second on Mill street between High and Liberty. The other location was so uncer tain that Mr. Purdy declined to mention it.

The options of the property where i It will stand will extend for twen- iy years. WE 1 v": !t ' ' V-rri' Edison Columbia Victor Starr V I ' f it GEO. C.
