O'HARA AGAINST
CITY MANAGER
PLAN FOR CITY
Denying that the city council
members who are opposing the
managerial government ordinance
are arrayed against the people, Al
derman David O'Hara, who has op
posed the movement flatly from its
start, expressed himself in a state
ment for publication today. Among
other arguments he says the sal
aries paid managers in cities of
Salem's class are universally higher
than has been represented by the
proponents or the measure.
The official group endeavoring
so assiduously to engraft a high
priced manager upon the city pay
roll evidently prefer trying their
cast in the newspapers to briruring
the proposal out on the floor of the
city council where It can be dis
cussed by the full membership of
that body as wet as by the tax
payers generally," aaya O'Hara's
statement.
"It la now made to appear that
those members of the council who
oppose the plan are arrayed against
the people. What they are actually
doing ts resisting the attempt to
railroad this program through be
fore anyone is given a fair oppor
tunity in public debate to present
the other side of tlie question.
"City managers come high, and
except In rare Instances, accomp
lish little. In the onlv six "man
ager cities" of tlie United States
comparable In size to Salem (25.000
to 30,000), the oilaries paid the
managers as of July 1, 1932. were
as follows: Alhambra. Calif., $7,500
Bakersfleld, Calif.. (5,000: New Lon
don, Conn., (6,600; West Palm
Beach, Florida, (4,200; Newport. Ky..
$8,000; Albuquerque. N. M., $6,000
an average of (6.216 per year. Quite
different from the (3,000 to 4.000"
per year that has been mentioned
several times by members of the
local committee.
"The adoption of the city man
ager plan has not enabled cities to
lower their tax rates or to mate
any appreciable reduction in an
nual expenditures, or to cut down
their bonded indebtedness. It has
accomplished some of these things

eral.' Munro on Government of

pany. 1931) page 703.
"The degree of enthusiasm pre
vailing for 'managerial' govern
ment is Illustrated by the vote at
the special election, July 21, 1933.
when the people were asked to ap
prove managers for counties. The
proposition lost by nearly 3 to 1
throughout the state and by more
than 2 to 1 In Marlon county. It
was defeated in every one of Sa
lem's 24 precincts. That was only
einht months ao. Yet to deter
mine whether the samo voters that
turned down a conunty manager
may still be persuaded to take the
half-do.se of a manager for the
city, the taxpayers are adted to
foot t he bill for another specia I
election.
"Out of a total of over 16.000 In
corporated cities in the United
Slates, 4:j0 have adopted the man
ager system. Less than 3 per cent.
From 35 to 40 discarded it after a
brief trial. We get excited about
a theory that has been propagand
ized throughout the country for
over a quarter of a century and
has failed so utterly to win pop
ular recognition.
"Many other facts can be cited
to expo the weakness of the man
ager system, and they will be If
those who disbelieve it in are ever
given thru parliamentary right to
discuss the subject.
"Salem has enjoyed fairly good
government under the mayor-council
system. At least Its non-salaried
governing body has been uniformly
honest, and that Is something. The
experience of other cities Indicates
that there would be no reasonable
expectation of improvement under
a pompous imported functionary
chiefly interested in drawing an
excessive salary.
Taxes for city purposes have
been reduced consistently during
the last five years. Your tax re-
oeipts will prove this and will show
that no other local tax levying
body has done as well.
"As a subject for visionary argu
mentation, the city manager ques
tion will always rank high, prob
ably well up with single tax and
the 16 to 1 silver doctrine.
"For all practical purposes. It
seems to have been quite definitely
.seUk'd by the refusal of more than,
97 per cent of American cities to
experiment with It."

FEDERAL LOAN
PLAN EXPLAINED
TO ROTABIANS
Mortgages on homes in Salem are
better investments than any foreign
bond or development, yet millions
of dollars of Salem money have
been taken out of the community
in tne past 10 years, Charles H
Stewart, of the federal home loan
bank in Portland, told the Rotary
club Wednesday noon In connection
with an explanation of the ma lor
provisions of the new federal finan
cial system. Of the three major
operations, the federal savings and
loan plan and the home loan bank
are permanent and will be a part of
the federal system while the home
owners' loan corporation Is tem
porary and designed to avert fore
closure on homes and to relieve dis
tressed mortgagors.
Investment concerns, which In the
past have financed mortgages, will
in the future be restricted to their
own local field Stewart declared.
Local associations will have funds
matched with federal money up to
(100.000 and In addition can borrow
30 per cent from the home loan
banks, he said. The general im
pression in the past has been that
saving and loan associations have
been demand institutions but this
never has been true and a 60 day
notice of withdrawal has been re
quired. Because the withdrawal
plan was never explained in detail
many people believe that the sav
ings and loan associations have
fallen down In the last few years.
but that is not the general case,
Stewart said.
The purpose of the federal saving
and loan system is to provide a safe
place for savings and a definite in
vestment, being purely mutual ind
not promotional in nature. Through
this set-up construction, at a stand
still for nearly four years can be re.
sumed. Even through the depres
sion, the percentage of losses by
building and loan groups was small
er than that sustained by any other
form of investment, he said.

Officials characterized the condition
as the best the treasury has enjoyed

improvement.
JULIAN LINKED WITH
LIBERTY BOND- THEFT
Los Angeles, March 21 (LP) The
name of C. C. Julian, oil stock pro

gation of stolen liberty bonds today
when Assistant U. S. Attorney Ern

of bonds had found their way to
China where Julian now resides.
Utley said that there was nothing
to Indicate that Julian knew that
the bonds were stolen from Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas bunks, even
if they ever fell into his possession.
As a check, however, Utley said he
was asking shanghai officials to
inquire into the bond situation
there.
Julian fled to Shanghai to avoid

INSURANCE TAX
FOR JOBLESS
HELD JUSTICE
Washington, March 21 (IPV Sec
retary of Labor Frances Perkins ap
proved before a bouse ways and
means subcommittee today Uie
Wagner-Lewis unemployment insur
ance bill which provides for a five
per cent excise tax on the total an
nual payroll of industrial employers.
Miss Perkins said that the mea
sure would produce revenue esti
mated at $1,000,000,000 a year and
that the tax "is both profitable and
fair."
"The vast federal expenditures for
unemployment relief make Uiis bil
lion dollars in new revenue doubly
necessary," Miss Perkins said. "It
Is only fair that the employers
should be called upon to help pay
the huge expense of caring for peo
ple whom they dismiss often with
out a thought as to their future. In
the past, it was the custom for the
full risk of unemployment to bo
borne by the worker, and the full
burden first by the worker and thou
by the public at large
"In the future some of this bur
den must, in all fairness, fall upon
the employers to whom the workers
ordinarily look for jobs and secur
ity." Miss Perkins said objections to the
tax were groundless, that It would
not impede recovery as the first
collection would not be made until
July, ma.
The bill Introduced In the sen
ate by Senator Robert E. Wagner,
(D., N. Y . and In the house by
Representative David Lewis, (D,
Md. . permits industrial employers
to offset against the tax whatever
amount they contribute under com
pulsory state unemployment insur
ance laws. The tax does not af
fect employers of agricultural labor
or of domestic servants or nurses
and teachers in schools. Industrial
employers of fewer than 10 work
ers also would be exempt.
