Beliefs that the president's message will form the real basis of the peace that will end the "last war for human liberty", as it was termed by Wilson today, were heard on-all sides in congress tliis afternoon. The frankness, definiteness and "ut ter simplicity" of the terms brought ap proval from both democrats and re publicans. The republican leaders approved the message in general, but attacked the section providing free trade after the war, insisting that American industries must still be protected. Majority Leader Kitchin and Chair man Flood of the foreign relations com mittee both expressed the opinion the terms would bo the foundation for peace. "It is my belief and hope that it paves tho way to peace," said Kitchin. "It was truly a remarkable address." The address was very fine and very timely," Flood said, '.'because it stat ed very clearly and specifically the aims of the allies. The position will be approved by the people of the coun try and it will greatly hearten the al lies, particularly Russia, Which is wrest ling with German intrigue." Senator ilardwick of Georgia said he believed the president 's message may lead at once to the opening of peace negotiations. "If Germany does not plan world con quests, then it ought to be possible to agree on the terms that will save both the civilization and Christianity of the world," said Senator Hardwick. Senator Chamberlain: "it states in the concrete all we are fighting for and states it so clearly that ho who rung they read. It is the greatest of the pres ident 's state speeches." Senator Martin: "It is one of the ab lest speeches the president ever made and it met every point in the situation" Senator Overman: "It is a very val uable- message in that it follows the message of Lloyd-George, Russia and : tho whole world now kuows where we stand. No nan can fail to understand H." : Senator Sinoot: "I heartily agree with the president in most of his pro grr.m, but I can't agree to free trading Senator Ashurst: "It is timely, lu minous, specific and clear. There is now no further trouble in understanding America's war aims." Representative Moore, Pennsylvania, insisted that the president did net mean tree trade ' ' by tiie removal of economic barriers" and said he could not approve that section. "I am sure we must protect our Am erican industries after tho war, or ruin many of them by forcing competition with other countries that have a de cided advantage because of cheap la bor." - "Uncle Joe" Cannon approved the message, but said he didn't think it brought peace nearer. "We must fight our way out of this war, I still believe," he said. DOCTOR POUND GUILTY. Richmond, Ind., Jan. 8. Dr. Isa W, Chamberlain today was found guilty of the murder of his brother Albert.

MAYOR REYES HAS issmcouiciL Budget Calls for $15,000 Less Than 1917 Mayor Urges Street Economy Two outstanding features marked the session of the city council last night. Oae was the frugality and economy with which the council begins the new year, and the other was the frequent and irreconcilable differences of opin ion that at one point of the meeting threatened to bring in the services of Acting Chief of Police Lucas to re store order end dignity. The keynote of the policy which will be followed by the city adminis tration the coming year was sounded by Mayor Walter E. Keyes in his an nual message to the council. While the budget for 1918 calls for approximate ly $15,000 less than 1917, the mayor expressed the desire that at the end of the year a portion of the appropria tions would be left to turn into the general fund for the following year, regardless of the advance in cost of labor and material. He also recom mended that when salaries of city employes be raised the ordinance be so drafted that all salaries automatically revert to their former figure at the end of the present year. , The mayor.'s message follows: "Following a time honored custom of delivering a message on the first Monday of each yeur, I wish at this time to briefly call to your attention a few points which I deem of para mount interest to the city of Salem. "Since the passage of the charter amendments on the 9th day of July, 1917, giving the common council ad- J ditional powers for collecting street assessments, citizens long n arrears have paid into the city treasury the sum of $15,030.47, There is yet, how ever, much money of this character out standing". -I believe that the people of the city of Salem realize tnat we can not operate city affairs on a business basis, or at all, unless we collect as sessments for improvments of streets with reasonable dispatch. Interest on improvement bonds must be met semi annually. If the money is not col lected from the owners of benefited property, as provided by charter, then we are obliged to make such payments out of the general fund, which makes taxes inevitably high, and works a gross injustice on those who have paid their assessments in accordance witn the law. It is, therefore, necessary and just that we use our best endeavor to collect outstanding Btrect improve ments, and thus place the city's fin ance upon a business basis- Interest upon bonded preperty must be collect ed in order that ive may meet interest upon bonds. Economy Has Wide Scope. "In preparing our budget for the ensuing year, we have reduced the operating expenses of the city over last year approximately $lS,Uuu. xnis does not mean, however, that we should spend all the money thus appropriated because it is at our disposal. I be lieve, after working under the budget with this decrease it will be demon strated next year that another material reduction can be made in taxes. I further believe that by careful business ! methods and conservative committee work, a portion ofnhe appropriations made for this year nlaybe carried over and placed in the general fund for next year.

"We should not forget we are en gaged in a world's war, and that our citizens from every angle are being financially drained to meet the exig encies of unfortunate conditions. If economy in city affairs should be prac ticed one year more than another, this, I would say, above all yoars, is tho time for conservation and elimination of waste. Through the coming year, let economy be the polar star which shall guide us i" our deliberations Adopt Policy on Salaries. "Owing to the high cost of living and the shortage of labor, it has be come necessary to raise in some in stances the salaries of city employes. Nevertheless, I am confident of the fact that it is easier to raise salaries than to lower them when once raised, and I should, therefore, suggest that in case of any raise in salaries by ordinance, the ordinance be so draftod that such salaries, at the expiration of the present year, will automatically revert 'to where they were prior to be ing raised." Ward and Melson Clash. The maia differences of opinion arose when Alderman Ward moved that $500 be transferred from the library fund to the library board, explaining that the roof of the library building was badly in need of repair and that oTher minor improvements were needed about the building. The motion car ried and Melson then moved that tho J ijs.j00 be used for no other purpose than i repairing the roof. This motion also carried, whereupon Ward took the j floor and asserted that this would de ! prive the library board of part of its 'lunds as $30O was twice the amount ' needed for repair of the roof and the board had planned to use me ru ( mainder of the amount for other pur poses about the building. Ward f uruier asserted thut Melsoa was deliberately misrepresenting things, whereupon Alei i sou jumped to the ttoor with blood in his eye aud stated in no uncertain 1 terms that he resented ' 'the insinua tion of the alderman that he lied." I Ward replied that he had more of th 'same thing ia store, several voices be 1 gan to bo Heard at onee, and only loud 'raps from the mayor's gavel backed by that wortny onicial's admonitions finally restored order, i The outcome of the matter was that $5,600, the amount called for by the budget, was appropriated to the horary : fund, with if.jOO transferred to thu board immediately, the same to be used for no other purpose than -the repair ing of the roor, a moved by iUdermau Melson- Comforf Station Accepted The council voted to aecept the com fort station and addowed tue contrac tors, bicwert & fc.ugs.uom, the balance of the contiact price, $1,11U.U0, which has been held up peuuing the action of the couincil iu accepting the build ing. Ward objected to the paying of $28.20 to the contractors for replacing the walls saying that if the worK wasn't performed correotly the first time the city should not have to stand for doing it over. Alderman Huberts, of the comfort station committee, re plied that the contractors htd followed specif k-atiorrs to the letter and that it was not their faul the plaster had fallen off the first time. Further, he stated, the contractors had performed some other work not in the specifica READY TO WEAR Our Ready - to - Wear Section has outdone it self in Special Offerings.

Hp said the contractors had played fair with the city and the city ought to do like wise with them. He said it was too bad Mr. Ward had not been made a member of the committee. City Officers Elected. All the city officers who were select ed at tho caucus last Friday night, with tho addition of Ralph Scharff as traffic officer, were formally elected. When tho question of police matron came up Mayor Keyes appointed Alder man Johnson, Ward and Kigdon as a committee to confer with tho school board directors relative to combining that position with that of truant of ficer. At the recommendation of Chief of Police Cooper, W. E. Delong wus named to fill the vacancy in the police department at present caused by tho illness of the chief. Officer H. II. Lucas is acting chief. Alderman Johnson moved that the street commissioner be authorized to sell one team of horses tit the best price obtainable. Alderman Klliott op posed this action, and Alderman fu ndi moved to amend tho motion that instead of the commissioner bein; merely authorized to sell, he be in structed to do so, and to call for bids, which the council should receive or re ject as it pleased Mrs. Clarence Bunce, whose home is on .South Commearcial street, appeared before the council with a plea that some action bo taken to remedy the drainage-ia that part of the city, show ing that many gardens are overflowed by water from the streets. Protests were sent in by John H. Albert and L. Cade against the reas sessment of property for the improve ment of Twelfth street Both were overruled. Mayor Keyes npppointed Roberts, t'nruh and Bnnoral us a special committee to revisj the methoii of collecting assessments. The city recorder was authorized to publish notice of intention to assess abuting property for the improvement of Washington street from i'ir to Liberty. The necessary ordinance .was given first and second reading and re ferred to the ordinance committee. "Meat Prices Too High, Say Ex perts" Headline.
