THE DAILY OAPITAX JOTONAL b the only newspaper In Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bnrean Of Orcnlatlons A STRIKELESS CITY. , It, is the ambition of the Commercial Club and the aspiration cf the citizens to make Salem a strikeless city. .To this end the Welfare, Commission has been organized to arbitrate all Jabor controversies and establish wage scales.; " ' ' : A strikeless city is one where both labor and capital get a square deal, where both the employer and employee are actuated by a sense of justice and fairness and are willing to give and take, where there is mutual recog nition of rights and the rule of reason prevails. A strikeless city is sought for by both the manufac turer ana laoorer ana both prosper in it and their pros perity is reflected iri the community. If Salem is able to establish such conditions, and to maintain them, her future is assured for both industry and population will ionow. There should be no place in Salem for the radical Bol shevik agitator, whose aims are really political revolution ana tne overthrow of the government, who under the camouflage of social welfare preaches the gospel of force ana practices tne creea ot sabotage. Nor should there be room for the arrogant autocrat who treats his employes as feudal serfs, refuses to remedy their wrongs and repud iates their right to collective bargaining. The cost of living has increased alarmingly since the outbreak of the war in 1914. Some of this increased cost is due to fortune hunting profiteers, and more of it due to the world shortage of materials and supplies caused by the withdrawal of tens of millions of people from useful production for five years. Until the void is filled, con ditions will be abnormal, and only industry and increased production can fill the void. ; We are entering a new era the old order perished in tne war. We are establishing a new standard of value-'--a new value for the dollar not yet standardized or stabil ised. The dollar will never buy as much as it did, the cost ot living will never sink back to the old level or commod ities sell again at their former prices. It is the part of wisdom to recognize conditions and adjust ourselves ac cordingly. Industrial harmony will increase production and help tm world in reconstruction, and a strikeless city means industrial harmony. - ' Si Rippling Rhymes. ; By Walt Mason. ; TAXES , & l?iclmr,l Cay'wr, graduate of Cam bridge in Engliui,!, 1ms entered tlio state normal school it t Monmouth to lit him self as a lonelier In Oregon.

THE GUILTY FEELING CHAPTER I.XXI V Tho strong scent ; of the flowers awakened me again, A delicious sense of laziness and comfort circled nic in. I looted at the little leather clock on my night talile. It was twelve o'clock. Cousin Madeleine s head appeared at -the door. "I've looked in several times, Sara, but you were asleep. Now don't try to get up, Anne is very much better. How grateful we are to ydul If you had not quieted her, last night, 1 hate to tliink " Cousin Madeleine's ultra smart man ner had gone. In its place was, a real solicitude, feeling. "Ill send tip your lunch. Look, Sura, yon haven't read your note yet'.' ' I looked down ,nt my silk cover so generouslv sprinkled with rose buds. There was a rough white envelope torn open. ; ; It read: : : ' "Im going to do what you advised me, little girl. The art league and all that. I won't see you for a few days. For I'm running into the city to look things up. "Know all about your sitting up with Anne after that long cold ride. You're a plucky little thing, Sara. "Going to send you something from tho city.

I would do anything for her."- "I know it, Sara, I know it." Cousin John's voice was husky. He strode from the room. I was brushing my hair, when there was another knock.

Oakland owners' records show for it such economies as from 18 to 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline under ordinary driving conditions, and from 8,000 to 12,000 miles from the oversize tires with which it is regularly equip ' ped. ' In all its fundamentals this new Oakland Sensible Six is a continuation of the car upon which Oakland has specialized for two years. Today, not one part or detail of it remains untried or unproven.
