A few days ago a Salem morning pa ler printed that the attorney general had furnished an opinion stating that the raising of the city attorney's salary vas legal and thai the matter was set tled. I'lidouhtcilly it was settled so far as the morning paper inul some mem bers of tho council wore concerned, but it was far from being settled so far as the pcopl i of Salem the taxpayers who put up the money aro concerned. Con sequently, the Capital Journal has tak en it upon itself to get an opinion from ihe attorney general as to whether low ering the salary of the city attorney would not be just as legal as raising it. Attorney General Crawford states that it wiih absolutely legal for the council to have raised the city attorney's sal ary ami in this the morning paper was correct, but as the morning paper does rot give all the news like the Capital Journal does, it now becomes the Capi tal Journal's duty to inform the pub ic that Attorney General Crawford not only stated to tho representative of the Capital Journal that it was also legal for the council to lower the city attor ney's salary, but when requested by the Journal man to do so, also specified tho legal proceed li re for the rounuil to follow. " If a municipal charter provides, and it is not contrary to statute, for the raising of a city official's salary, whether it be that of the city attorney, or any other qualified official in the regular employ of the city, by introduc ing a bill for an ordinance, iu my opin ion such increased salary may be re duced through the sumo channels with the same degree of legality," said At torney flonornl Crawford yesterday in explaining tho process by which such acts aro governed by municipal corpor ations. "It is a matter of discretion on tho part of the city council or com missioners or the people at large to either raise or lower a city officials 's salary whether or not the official is al ready qualified or unqualified inunedi I'tely following his election. However,' while it is customary universally to fix the salary of any public official prior to his appointment or election to office, 1 do not believe Hint it is adverse to rules or law to re-arrange the wage sys tem by either lowering or raising sal aries after an elective or appointive of fice has been filled." Is Simple Method. It is but a simple matter now for the city council to draft a bill for an ordi nance reducing the city attorney's sal ary, should the members feel so inclin ed, as thero is no question of doubt hut that such an election would bo strictly in accordnnco with tho provisions of city charter. The passage of an ordi- r.anee reducing tho city attorney's sal ary would necessarily repeal tho bill passed raising the salary $300. Thero aro a few members of tho city council who nre perfectly willing Hint the city attorney's salary should bo lowered in the event a bill for Biich an notion can bo drawn up and passed in accordance with the city charter. The question of doubt arising out of tho manipulation of tho salary of tho city attorney is Hint in view of the fact the incumbent of tho offico was already serving when the council raised his pay the net wus possibly In violation of the city election provisions. According to the attorney i;eneral, the council acted legally and can act equally legally by repealing the ordinance and reduc ing the salury, The affairs of Rnlein's legal depart ment have been the source of much worry and discussion for years. It Is contended by some that unless a grenter salary is offered by the city, the offico will not be filled by a thoroughly com petent city attorney, Former city at torneys refused to accept another term in tho offico on account of tho salary being too small, but not one offered to tnko any action toward securing a raise. Attorney Grant Corby refused to accept the position a second time while Attorney Keyes declnred the salary was too low when he was in the office. With these facts freely circulated prior to the election of the new council men and with every candidate for the city attorney office familiar with the duties and compensation provided for the department, there was no occasion, it is said, for any lawyer to accept the office under the former salary unless he so desired. For this reason, it is a mat ter of much speculation why tho pres ent city attorney became a candidate, nnd nfter his election bv tho council, became evidently dissatisfied with the salary fixed by ordinance ami prepared a bill for an ordinance adding 3H0 more to It. It is a well known fact that tunny of the members of the council who voted to raise Ihe salary, did so under the impression that the city at torney was not receiving sufficient compensation, but iu sanctioning the inlse, overlooked the fin t that the offi cial asking same did so Bftor being elected to the office, Instead of before being certain of getting It, Salem people are indignant over thi reckless expenditure of the taxpayers' money on tho pdrt ot the mayor and council sad the fight to reduce the city A Belmont "notch" collar In white striped Madras, It's an AR.R.OW COLLAR 15c, I for 23c.

INCENDIARIES GET MILLIONS Startling Evidsnc at Hand of How Conspirators Operate on Great Scab In Many Cities, Sending Agenti Back and Forth, Sotting Fires anc Collecting Insurance Money. The workings of a ao called national arson syndicate were explained re cently by Charles Furthuian, deputy state's attorney of Cook county, 111., wbllu in New York with extradition papers for John Dnnles, a roudhouse keeper in the Bronx, against whom six Indictments for arson are stand ing In Chicago. Dnnles was arrested Feb. 28 by De tective . Flood of District Attorney Whitman's staff upon representations from Chicago. Mr. Furtbuinu sttld be bad evidence that Dunies wua one of the leaders of a gang of Incendiaries wbo have been operating throughout the country. It ts assorted Dailies Is known in other cities as Jobu Kublznk, "the chief" ii nd "the captain." lie baa been ar rested three times In New York, but succeeded every time In convincing a Jury he was innocent. Furthiuun said be could prove that every time Dauiea left New York on a trip a trail of tires followed Ulni. Big blu7.es In Seattle, Chicago, St. Louis, Buffalo, Sau Francisco and Minneapo lis were coincident with Dnnles' pres ence In tbose cities, tho prosecutor said. New York "Bugs" Look Cheap. As described by Furtbmnn the methods of the nation wide ring of Urubugs and the amount of their earn ings make Isldor Stein and the other members of the arson ring In New York look cheap. Where Stein set a tire In a closet for a few hundred dol lars' Insurance It Is said the so called Dnnles crowd would tire n store or factory nnd enable the owner to col lect thousands "In every town where the gnng oper ated." suld Mr. Furthuian, "a repre sentative looked out for likely cases. He would go to a manufacturer ot large storekeeper who was losing mon ey. A lire would be suggested as an easy method of escaping bankruptcy If the storekeeper followed the sug gestion be would lay In a big stock ot almost worthless goods. "Then ho would give the key to the local agent of the Ore gang. The 'worker who might live In a city a thousand miles away, would be notl tied. lie would slip Into the town, get the key to the store or factory, do the job In ii n hour nnd get out on the next truln." Millions Have Been Reaped. furtli intin sold Mint If the testimony of the In runners could be believed, the nrson syndicate hud got millions ol dollars fruiu the Insurance cotnpnules Mr. Furthinnn und Detective Sheeban started with Dnnles for Chicago. Henry C. Freeman, known as "Wire less" Freeman because ot the rapidity with which be learned of Ores ol which be Inter became the adjuster, was placed on trial before Judge Swann In general sessions cbnrged with arson In the second degree. Assistant District Attornoy Wellei snld be would prove that Freeman bad entered Into a conspiracy with Isidore Stein and a broker named Golduinn, now a fugitive from Justice, to go into the business of Incendiarism. Gold tnnn wns to sell the policies, Stein was to build the Ores and Freeman was to adjust the losses. Stein testified that on Dec 7, 1011, at the suggestion ot Freeman be built a tire In tbo flat of a man named Abraham Schllcton In New York. MAN IN MOON DISAPPEARING. English Aitronomer Says Contour ol Planet la Changing. Professor J. li. Halo, who Oils the chair of astronomy In King's college, London, In an Interview with a New York uowapnper correspondent recent ly said there is a change In the forma tion of the mountains and rock In tho moon which Is discernible with the naked eye. This, be snld, la due to the gradual decay ot the mountain' chemical formation. Probably It 1 only a question of time when nature will so alter the planet that we will be unable to dis tinguish the face of the moon. Pro fessor Utile added: "F.vcu today certain people declare the man In the moon baa taken bla departure, and In hi place they can uinke nut a man with bundle uf ticks on bis back." Lowest Bidders. The Clarke-IIenery Construction Co. were the lowest bidders an asphalt pavement for 1 inches of concreto base and Hi inches of asphalt wearing sur lace. This company bid .-f 1.30 per sqare yard on Church street. Two years ago Salem was paying $1.30 to if 1.15 for concrete pavement without a wearing surface.
