Annual sessions, greater com'
pensatlon and less partisanship
were suggestions of Senator Al
lan Carson Friday noon as he
noke during the weekly ses

tors concerning the state legis
lature. The senator devoted con
siderable time to a discussion oi
SB. 98 which was sponsoreo

; tate and which failed of pas
sage.
A clause which would have
made members of the real estate
profession exempt from any sort
of a business tax, was advanced
1 by the speaker as one reason
why the bill laiiea 10 pass,
In sneaking for an Increase
; of pay for the lawmakers, Sena
tor Carson declared that many
1 men cannot afford to spend 90
' days In Salem with no more
compensation that is not pro-
vided for. He expressed the
opinion that annual sessions
. would tend to speea up legis
i lation and would present an op-
portunity to correct mistakes
without navinu 10 wan iwu
years.
The speaker advocated
change in the rules of procedural
; and credited Senator Kicnara
Neuberger of Multnomah coun
ty with being a brilliant man.

Oregon, Friday, May 6, 1949
Council members and Mayor
Robert L. Elfstrom reported that
the pressure is being turned on
by those opposing the Baldock
Dlan or certain carts of it. espe-
dally resident in the Summer
street district and in South Sa
lem.
A petition circulated among
residents of South Liberty, pro
testing the proposed making of
South Liberty a one-way street
for northbound highway traffic,
has been signed, it is said, by
around 90 per cent of the resi
dents.
The South Salem Progress
club will have two plans to
offer, either of which they would
have the city adopt rather than
the Baldock plan to make South
Commercial and South Liberty
one-way streets.
Their first plan, previously
published, would widen South
Commercial to permit on each
side a five-foot sidewalk and
a seven-foot parking lane, with
four 11-foot driving lanes in
the street, two in each direc
tion. The second part of their plan
would widen the street four
feet on each side, making it a
48-foot street. It would have
the two 11-foot driving lanes
on each side of the street center
with a four - foot divider be
between them. Under this plan
car parking would be prohibited
on the street except at certain
low traffic periods.
Most of the protest received
against Daylight saving comes
from outside the city and from
neighboring towns. One petition
received by Mayor Elfstrom was
signed by 32 persons, most of
them from Mt. Angel, but some
from Brooks and Woodburn.
Other protests came from A.
E. Brettauer, Woodburn editor,
and George Sllbernagel, Sclo
farmer.

DeMolay Rules
City for a Day
The mayor of Salem and de
partment heads of the pity
looked eagerly out of their doors
today in the hope that their
anterooms would be jammed
with complaining citizens.
They were all hoping to see
the hard-to-please type of citi
zen come pounding on their
doors.
The reason was the fact that
they were on "vacation" for a
day as youthful members of the
Order of DeMolay took over de
partment functions at noon.
Louis Lorenz became mayor
for a day, substituting for May
or R. L. Elfstrom. Other De
Molay department heads were:
Bob Mcany, city manager; How
ard Wilson, chief of police; Mer
lin Shultze, fire chief; Bob Mc
Conville, police judge; Don
Hughes, recorder; Daryl Girod,
treasurer; Jim Rock, city engi
neer. McConville was slated to sit
en banc with Judge W. W. Mc
Kinney on two minor police
court cases in the afternoon.
Regular Police Chief Clyde A.
Warren asked desk sergeants 'to
relay all ticket complaints to his
shadow, Wilson.
DeMolay officials were enter
tained at a noon luncheon with
their real life counterparts.

Asserts Fisher
J. H. Fisher, credit manager
for Meier and Frank stores in
Portland, advised members of
the Salem credit association Fri
day to base their work on in
formation secured before ac
counts are opened.
"Look before you leap," Fish
er jsivised as he detailed opera-

000 credit account business. He
said his years of experience in
the credit field had convinced
him that the time to protect him
self was in the beginning of a
credit transaction rather than at
the end.
Fisher forecast a leveling off
period for business rather than
a recession or depression .as
many businessmen predicted aft
ter the contractions of business
during the winter months.
"There's still too much money
yet in this country waiting to
be spent for us to have a de
pression," he summarized.
