THE HUMAIIE SOCIETY AIID ITS GOOD WORK Salem has an active Humane Society that ought to have more members the cause being a very worthy one. and even more Important than most charitable organizations, as its members seek to speak for selves. There is hardly a day goes selves. There Is hardly a daay go by that cases of suffering and cruel ty are not reported and almost al ways relieved by investigation and prosecution If necessary. Lame horses, starved and neglected cattle, abandoned cats and dogs, and even cruelty to children, are matters that some one should be charged with caring for, and with the co operation of Chief of Police Hamil ton who is also the Society's humane officer, these abuses are checked and reduced to a minimum with a very slight expenditure.

To deter mine whether the city of Seattle has complied with the conditions made by congress before making available the appropriation of $2,250,000 for the construction of a canal from Lake Washington to Puget Sound, Secretary of War Stimson today heard arguments by Senators Poin dexter and Jones, of Washington; Representative Humphreys, City En gineer Thompson and Judge Burke, of Seattle. Stimson will announce his decision within ten days. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will brace up the nerves, banish sick headache, prevent de spondency and Invigorate the whole system.

THE OPEN FORUM The Capital Joanud Invitci Public Diocoasioa la This Department Let Both Sides of All Matters Be Folly Brought Out It Is Not the Pu"pos of This Newspaper to do the Thinking for Its Readers. WHY XOT? Ed. Journal: As the Attorney General has decided that the people have no power of recall over a school director, what Is the matter with taking the recall on the Attor- ny General? R. R. R. POIXG ore THINKING. Ed. Journal: If It takes fifteen men to do the thinking In the city council for fifteen thousand citlzena. who does the thinking for the fifteen? INQUIRER. SOME OBJECTIONS ANSWERED. Ed. Journal: Some critics of the Commission form of Government argue that It will he too expensive. As the tax limit has been reached. and not another cent of taxes can be lenied on the people, there can be no increase In the cost of city gov ernment As representatives of a new system that Is to take the place of the present worn out and shot-to-pieces affair called a city govern ment, they could only remain In or fice by reducing expenses and lower ing taxes, and that is the first thing a commission form of government would do. The argument that good men could not be obtained at $1000 or $1300 a year Is not sound. The class of men who graft public affairs will graft whether they get $2000 or $u000. and honorable men who get something for their services are re lieved of the odium of working for nothing and being exposed to the charge that they are not in office for their health. I believe a commission form of government with a fair com pensation for men who are not hunting Jobs of any sort, political or otherwise, would be a great Im provement on the present irresponsi ble system, where men will not even resign when sat upon by their con stituents. COMMISSION. REFERRED TO RAILROAD COM MISSION. Salem, Ore.. June 22, 1912. Ed. Journal: For the past three years I have been devoting my time to the question of reasonable rates for transportation In the State of Oregon, and have consequently be come quite familiar with existing conditions along this line in our Btate. Since I arrived at Salem the last time I have looked into the rates on the Southern Pacific line in Ore gon and am not surprised to find this line's rates quite extortionate and unreasonable, so much so that they collected in 1910 in Oregon $1,500.- 000 more than they should have been permitted to collect and Marion County's contribution in the matter was about $200,000. Not only is this true, but the rates In Oregon are much higher than on the longer hauls In and out and through the stare ovr the same line. Not only higher, but about, three times as high as the Interstate rates. They are not only three times as high in proportion to distance, but three times as profitable to the owners of the road. This road, under the law. Is a public highway, and all the peo ple that use It are entitled to the use of the same for a reasonable consideration, and this reasonable consideration Is measured by the net interest or dividend returned to the j owners of the line. Yet rates were so unreasonably high the past year that shippers out of Salem paid their proportion of forty per cent a year for the priviledge of using this public highway. Conditions are certainly outrag eous. There is nothing else Im peding Salem's prosperity and growth to the extent of this great discrimination against her commerce In the way of transportation. Give her what she is entitled to In the way of transportation and she ought to double her population in five years. Keep her hampered as she now Is and she may be comparative ly a village In a quarter of a century from now. There is yet some great advantages In Salem. Real estate Is compara tively cheap. A person of ordinary means can own a home of one hun dred feet square, of land and live in walking distance of his employment. This and many other advantages ex ist here not to be enjoyed in the larger clt'es, but when any one un dertakes to engage In business and over railroads, they practically say ye shall not. Freight rates are enormously nn reaasonable out of Portland at this time for all service Ini the state, and yet much more unreasonable out of Salem than Portland. Our people do not need to stand this extreme abuse much longer than they simply elect to submit to It. Very truly yours, F. W. GAINS. INSPECT SALEM'S SCHOOL BUILDINGS For the purpose of obtaining Ideas useful to them In the construction of a new school house for their dis trict, members of the Sherwood school board visited the city yester day and Inspected the school build ings here, and also Inspected school buildings In Polk county. ' The Sherwood board Is planning the construction of a building which will cost $7000, and It Is desired to make it as modern In the way of equipment and otherwise as It Is pos sible for It to do. It was with that object tn view that the visit and In. s poet ion of the buildings here was made. "It cured me," or "It saved the life of my child," are the expres sions you hear every day about Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. This Is true the world over where this valuable rem edy has been Introduced. No other medicine In use for diarrhoea or bowel complaints has received Bucb general approval. The secret of the success of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Is that It cures. Sold by all dealers SAY! ARE YOU LAWFULLY MARRIED? Much discussion and several per tinent questions have been inspired by the new laws relating to persons authorized to solemnize marriage. We are informed that a new interpre tation is placed upon the status of parties united in marriage by a per son who is unauthorized to perform such ceremony. Heretofore it has been held that the parties were le gally married but now it appears by the new law that tbey are not legal ly married and the person officiating is personally liable for performing the ceremony. The attempt In pass ing the new law has been to guaran tee proof of property rights and the legitimacy of children. That preach ers may be guided in the matter of registration, the attorney general has been asked to give his opinion on several points. His letters follow: -Rev. E. H. Todd. Willamette University, Salem, Oregon. Dear Sir: In compliance with your oral request of recent date, for Information respecting persons au thorized to solemnize marriages in this state. I beg to say that chapter 214, found st page 342. Laws of Ore gon for 1911, amends sections of I-ord's Oregon Laws, and section T019 of said laws, as so amended, provides: Marriages may be solemnized by any minister or priest of any church or congregation in the state anv- where within this state provided they have recorded with the county clerk in the county where the marriaee is solemnized satisfactory evidence of their authority in a book by him called 'Authority to Solemnize" Mar ringe,' for which he ehail charge 10 cents per folio for recording and in dexing. Said charge to be not less than 23 cents. Marriages may also be solemnized by any judicial officer of the state anywhere within his Jurisdiction." The statute also requires the per son solemnizing a marriage to de liver to the county clerk of the county where the marriage license issues and the county where the marriage is solemnized for record a certificate provided for in the statute and subjects the person failing tn H- liver such certificate to a nenaltv of not less than $10, nor more than $50. lou win notice the statute is some what indefinite In the use of the words "church or congregation", that is, whether they are to be taken in the general sense of a denomination or sect or in the limited sense of a local organization. In my opinion, however, in view of other laws in reference to the solemnization of marriages and the decisions of the courts of other states, the term cnurch or congregation is used in the broader sense, and one is a min ister or a priest of a church or con gregation if he is authorized by such 10 preacn, even though he is not a pastor of any particular church. ArV one who has authority by the rules of the church to which he belongs to perform marriage ceremonies is un der the law competent to solemnize marriages, providing such church nas an organization In this state You will notice, from the section ab,ove quoted, that the minister or person is required to have recorded with the county clerk where the marriage Is solemnized satisfactory evidence of his authority, said au thority to be approved by the county clerk, etc. I presume the authorltv would be the license issued to the priest or minister by the church or ganization if that is available, and if not, any other evidence that is satis factory to the particular county clerk that the minister or priest has received such authority from the church whih he represents. Very trulv vours, A. M. CRAWFORD. 'Copy.) Attorney General. Rev. E. H. Todd, Vice President Willamette University, balem. Oregon. Dear Sir: Referring to our recent conversation as to the manner of fur nishing satisfactory evidence to the various county clerks of the author ity of any minister or priest to sol emnize marriage ceremonies, and whether It Is necessary for such min ister to present his original certifi cate to each county clerk, I would call your attention to section 767 of all patent medicines or medicines ad vertlsed In this paper are for sale at DR.

TIZ is for sale at all druggists at 25 cents per box, or It will be sent you direct if you wish from Walter Luther Dodge & Co., Chicago. 111. Lord's Oregon Laws, which provides: "A public record of a private writing may be proved by the original record, or by a copy thereof certified by the legal keeper of the record." Therefore, when the proo'f of a minister or priest's authority to sol emnize marriages has been recorded by one county clerk, a rnnv nf nnri record, certified by such county clerk is competent evidence to prove to an other county clerk that fulfil mlnlctni. or priest nas sued authority. Therefore, In my opinion, a copy of the record, certified by the county clerk where such record la maAa ran be forwarded to the county clerks of the other counties, and in that way the original license or certificate is sued by the church authorities will not have to be sent away. Very respectfully yours, A. M. CRAWFORD, (Copy.) Attorney-General. o ALL OUT OF SORTS. Ha9 Any Salem Person Never Felt That Way? Feel all out of sorts Tired, blue, irritable, Nervous?
