i WILL DECIDE HER OWN FATE
While building ships to feed the submarines, the neee
sity of Btill another great fleet is seen. The latter to
sail the skies and control the air. Germany's successes,
especially on the Russian front were due in great part
to controlling the skies", and so having an accurate
knowledge of her enemy's movements, and at the same
time keeping that enemy in the dark as to her own. When
the allies control the air and also have the seas made
reasonably safe, the end is in sight.

Salem has shown her patriotism in furnishing recruits
, for the army and navy, in her generous response in pur
chasing liberty bonds and in her quick reply to the call for
aid for the Red Cross. Having shown these traits as
applied to the general government she now must respond
to the call for her own safety. One week from today she
must say whether she is to conduct her affairs on a busi
ness basis or to continue the slipshod methods that have
brought her to the verge of bankruptcy. She must decide
the question whether the will of a few property owners
is more cowerful than the will of all the people.
She must say whether taxation is to be equal and just or
unequal and unjust. She must say whether one property
owner having paid his debts to the city shall be taxed to
pay the debts of other property owners.. She must choose
between being in a condition for further growth; or de
liberately shut herself off from all chances in that direc
tion. If she is to grow and prosper she must adopt the
two amendments submitted providing for reassessment
and the enforcing of hens. The o;her amendment should
be passed, for it is eminently American in its provisions
permitting the majority to rule instead of the minority.
This amendment however is not an absolute necessity, for

city to be carried on. It should be passed howeverji

to such an extent as to be practically confiscatory. Taxes
will be from 4 to 5 per cent, and every business will be con

Property values will be depreciated on account of the
taxes and will get a further blow from the moving away
of industries now carried on here which will have to move
to other points to avoid the draft on their resources made
by a tremendous bonded debt. These are the things the
citizens of Salem are called upon to decide next Monday,
and on that decision rests the future of the city.

NOT HIS KIND OF A JOB
General Goethals is undoubtedly a big man, with big
ideas; but this does not necessarily imply that he is right
in all of them. He was the right man for the place in
completing the Panama canal ani so proved himself in
solving the many problems arising during the construct
ing of the great water-way. It remains to be seen if he is
the right man for the place in superintending the con
struction of a great fleet of cargo vessels. So far, his
management has not been satisfactory to shipping men
and those familiar with conditions t f materials necessary
for ship building. The general turned down the proposi
tion of building :,000 wooden vessels and decided the en
tire fleet should be built of steel. He sneeringly remark
ed: "The lumber for those wooden ships is still in the
trees." While this is true, it is equally true that the steel

unmined. His decision has been over ruled and the wood
en ships are to be built. It is expected that many if not
most of these will eventually fall victims to submarines,
and it is for this reason they appear the more suitable for
the purpose for which they are building. They will car
ry as much as steel ships of the same size, and they will
cost but half as much. The steel ship is as easily sunk as
the wooden one, and when it goes down the loss is but one
half that in the case of the steel ship. Another feature
favorable to the wooden ship is that it can be built much
more quickly, and time is the most important element in
the meeting of the submarine menace. General Goethals
is a great engineer, and both he and the government that
employs him should remember the proverb that: "The
shoemaker should stick to his last."

district in the country.
The entire burden of proof for exemp
tion is put upon the claimant.
Appeal from the ruling:) of the tri
bunals is provided for in the regula
tions. As outlined in the rules, the following
are tne steps leading up to the ordering
of the men into camp:
A local exemption board of three
members' for approximately each 30,000
of population is set up- Most of these
tribunals are already formed. In manv
cases they are the registration boards.
Other higher boards for each federal
judicial district are formed. They are
compoHod of five men of the highest
standing and known as district or appel
late boards. Any member of either
board may be removed by the president.
un a Day to be set, the lower boards
meet and organize. The registration
cards are sesured from the registration
boards, which then cease to exist. The
cardg are numbered serially from one
up and the names and numbers posted
in a public place and given to the nress
for publication. At the same time a
copy is sent to Washington.
Then Stage is B.
When every card is numbered and
posted in every precinct in the nation,
the stage is set for the actual draw
ing. Although tho method is left for anoth
er proclamation, it is known that the
drawing will take place in Washington.
After tho order in which the men an
called up for service is determined, the
quota trnit eacn state must yield up to
the armies will be announced.
The state governors are directed to
divide the quotas among the counties
and cities on the basis of population.
i.i.rnuers will be drawn in Wash
ington. Each number drawn will strike
the men of that number in every pre
cinct in the nation.
These numbers and names will again
be posted and published and the men
called will be notified by mail.
JNext the "honor men" will be sum
moned for physical exemption before
the local board. One member of each
board is a physician. He is ordered to
mane tne examination m the presence
or another member or the board.
Guard Against Unfairness.
To guard against any unfairness in
the physical examination the president
manes an ingenuis provision. In the
case tho physician desiguates any man
unfit, the board will call in another
physician. He will make another ex
amination in ignorance of the first re
port. If both make the same diagnosis;
Within three days after the affidavits
are filed the local board must make its
decision. Either an absolute, condi
tional or temporary discharge may be
granted.
I'ive Days to File Claims.
The local boards next report a list of
the men discharged and those not dis
charged to the district board. Again
these names arc posted and a notice
sent to each.
Claims for exemption upon occupa
tional grounds must be made to the dis
trict board within five days after the
man is notified that he is drawn.
The burden of a double proof rests
They must prove
that the industry in which they arc en
gaged is necefsary and that thev are
" iudispcnsible " to its successful con
duct. The regulations provide that claim
ants may be made upon these premises:
That he is actually engaged in a par
ticular industrial or agricultural enter
prise necessary to the maintenance of
the military establishment or the na
tional interest and that his continuance
therein is necessary to the maintenance
of that industry and cannot be dis
pensed with or replaced without sub
stantial material loss and detriment of
that enterprise.
How Claims Proved.
Each cliiini must be supported by af
fidavits.
When, in the opinion of the board,
the loss of the man to the industry out
weighs the gain to the military estab
lishment, a certificate of discharge will
be issued
Claims for exemption may be made by
wives, parents, children, employers or
any person for tho man in whom threy
are interested.
The boards are empowered to inves
tigate affidavits and claims for exemp
tion with any means at their disposal.
After tho occupational claims arc
passed upon, the district-board will next
review the appeals from lower boards.
Cpon these appeals their decision is
final. When it is adverse the man will
be drafted iato the army.
After all appeals are decided and oc
cupational claims arc settled, the dis
trict board will report its list of dig
ibles to tho adjutant general of the
state. These are tho men that are to
be summoned to the colors in tho fall.
They will be notified by -mail.
May Appeal to President.
An appeal from the district board in
occupational claims to the president is
provided for- But, pending tne decision
of the appeal, the claimont may be sum
moued to the army.
In a lated proclamation President
Wilson will create a national board to
hear the occupational appeals!
The regulations give the president au
thority to determine from time to time
whnt general classes of industries are
necessary to maintenance of the mil
tarv establishment. These classes will
be announced by proclamation. The dis
trict boards are ordered to ascertain
the existing conditions of industry in
their districts to aid in making equit
able exemptions.
Another proclamation to follow with
in a few davs will make the laws gov-

To guard against partiality, every
caso of an exemption by a lower board
is appealed automatically to the upper
tribunal. Cnless new ovidenee is pre

board will affirm the decision- This
method gives tho public in general an
opportunity to present evidence favor
