Mr. Grcenbaum, a Salem merchant, declines an election to the city council an unheard of proceeding. Does not Mr. Greenbaum desire to share in the glory of a mod el city government under Mayor Lachmund? An election handed him on a silver platter, without any ex reuse whatever, is thrown ourboard as worthless. Perhaps Mr. Greenbaum is not clear on the attitude of the council in opposing the initiative sewer bond bill. There is room for good business men in the city council and it is to be regretted that Mr. Greenbaum could not accept." The excuse that he gave four years' of his time to the details of the city business only makes such a man more desirable. As Mr. Greenbaum is in the declining businesss perhaps he would decline an election to the office of mayor. Candidates' Cards (Paid Advertisement.) For JIarsliul.

Such a program indicates the growth of the city in musical importance such singers are a compliment to the growth of the city. The ability of Salem audiences to appreciate the better things in the world of musical art has been the cause of favorable com ment. This city has been the home ofgood singers and talented in strumental performers, and the general scope of our music has been of good duality. But there has been a great dccl of willingness to accept every effort at vocal nnd instrumental music, and give each perform ance an indiscriminate encore. The refusal of the singers Monday night to return each time an encore was given them showed a marked advance in good tasl e. It is to he hoped our peonle will be given an opportunity to hear more programs where the love of art surpasses desire on the part of the performer to get onto the platform as often as possible. The banks generally are accepting Canadian coin and paper money. It ought to be good. In fact banks are getting so they are glad to take any kind of money. THE TAX BILLS. Charles F, Elgin, Candidate for Nomination Office of CITY KECOKDEB To the people of Salem: I desire to serve a second term, and submit my official record as my recommendation. Snnmrl 0. Burkuark Candidate for nomination for office of City Marshal. It. A. Crosslin. Candidate for re-election to the of fice of City Treasurer at the primar ies to be held in the city of Salem, Or., November 4, 1912. There are two of the proposed tax bills that should be voted down, and the rest are not to be received without investigation. Vote NO on 253, as it proposes to exempt from five to fifty thousand dollars worth of personal property for every rich man or woman in Oregon. Vote NO on 35J5, as it will cinch the little fellow by exempting nil kinds of personal property for the owners of stocks, bonds, etc. Look into these two bills, and if you vote for them do so in your own interest, because it will exempt your wealth from tax ation. It makes no difference that state officials and the tax com mission advocate these two bills, they are not for the poorer citi zen. We are beginning to be suspicious of the fight that is made on the Ringle tax by the millionaires of Portland. If they can afford to pay five to ten thousand dollars a month to fight the single tax, it must cut their corns somewhere. Harry Lane draws crowds, but will he draw votes? RECIPROCITY AND FREE TRADE ISSUES. Those are really the only great national issues involved in this campaign. The only consistent argument for Taft is that he stands for reciprocity and protection. Do you believe in reciprocity and a protective tariff as funda mental to American prosperity? If you are against President Taft on the reciprocity and pro tection issue, whom will you support? In a letter to President Taft, dated New York, January 12, 1011, Roosevelt said: . "It seems to me that what you propose to do with Canada is admirable from every standpoint." lie also said to President Taft in the same letter: "It is great ly to your credit to make the effort." "But Mr. Roosevelt went far beyond President Taft's proposi tion. ITo wrote in his letter the following sentence: "I firmly believe in free trade with Canada for both economic and political reasons." If you support Roosevelt you not only support reciprocity but absolute free trade with Canada. Do you vmt free trade with Canada? What do you get when you support Wood row Wilson? In his testimony before the tariff board in 1882, Governor Wlson, then a college professor, when asked the question, "niv you advocating a repeal of nil tariff laws?" answered: "Of all protective tariff laws; of establishing a tariff for revenue only. It seems to me absurd to maintain that we shall have free trade between different portions of this country, and at the same Vine shut ourselves out from free communication with other producing countries of the world." Woodrow Wilson is a confessed free trader. Champ Clark, speaker of the Democratic house, publicly as serted on the floor of the house that he would like to see every custom house torn down. If the Democratic piirty copies into power there will be free trade between (hp United States and Canada, and every, other producing country. President Taft's reciprocity proposition made conces sions to Canada, but provided for an eeual return. Canada rejected the proposition, whereupon' the Republican members of congress voted tr leneal the reciprocity law which had been passed, the Democrats voting solidly for its retention. Canadian newspapers openly favor the election of either Rooosevelt or Wilson, in order to obtain a one-sided arrange ment which will be wholly beneficial to Canada without regard to the welfare of the American people. Reciprocity is now a dead issue. With the election of either Wilson or Roosevelt it would become very much alive. It will be revived from n sane American standpoint with the election of Taft, and is the one argument in his favor. 1 (has. IV. Brunt. Candidate for City Marshal.
