Salem's city council took fling at
petty politics last night. An audi
ence of a hundred or more was pres
ent to see the fun and although
some of the aldermen are good play
ers and get off lively stunts, a great
part of the play was faced toward
the gallery. And occasionally there
was applause from the grandstand.
The pyrotechnics began by preeon-
certed action when the report of
Marshal Cornelius was read. This
was to the effect that he had sus-
pended Night Policeman Longcor for
disobedlence, for untruthfulness and
for conduct unbecoming an officer.
Mr.. Downing moved that the may
or appoint a committee of three to
investigate the matter.
Alderman Jacob was on his feet
to present motion which he held in
his hand. 1t was a type written
document and was to the effect that
the matter be referred to commit
tee composed of John Bayne, Lowe
and Frazer. The alderman could
not get his motion read in time to
head Mr.. Downing off and he made
his motion as an amendment to the
Downing motion.
Mr.. Downing then withdrew his
motion and moved that the matter
be referred to a committee of the
whole. Gessner was bitterly oppos-
ed to that. SO was Bayne, so was
Lowe and Frazier.
Bayne said the meetings of the
committee would be open and that
a stenographer would be employed
and that all the testimony would go
before the council.
Downing said he would have more |
confidence In committee appointed J
by the mayor than he would In one |
brought in already typewriter by
lot of six bit politicians.
Whose six bit Politician"
asked Jacob.
1--WE are all about that slze," said
Gesner.
Downing said he was free man /
and that there were no strings or
flies on him and he wanted to ask
some questions In that investigation
that he knew would not be asked by
that Bayne committee.
After considerable desultory dis
cusslon the resolution offered by
Jacob was adopted by the following
vote:
Ayes-Gessner, Lowe, Jacob,
Goodale, Bayne, Steusloff, Skaife,
Haas, Frazier; noes-Acheson, Bak-
'r, Churchill, Downing. Wallace.
IL is understood that the commit J
zee will begin its investigation to-
light at the city hall.
The committee on ordinances re-
ported the ordinance fixing salaries {

Street committee reported COM
iletion of South Commercial street
Improvement, and recommended ac- S
'eptance of same. Alderman Bayne
made a protest, and asked that the G

protest was against acceptance on $
he grounds that there are places G
where there is not s inches OF rock \

own interests but contrary to the in
terests Of the people and the labor trust
is always active to push through bills
drafted In the interest Of that trust but
directly contrary to the interests Of the
people as whole. Witness the anti
injunction bill By which labor unions
seek to tie the hands Of our courts and
prevent the Issue of any order to re-
strain the members Of that trust from
alta cking men or destroying property.
Such bill is perhaps the most infam-
Gus insult to our courts and the COM
mon people ever laid before Congress
and the Representatives in Congress
must be held to strict accountability
for their acts relating thereto. But
when bills come before Congress that
are drawn in the interest Of all the
people they should receive the active
personal support Of the people and the
representatives be instructed by the
citizens. The Senators also should be
written to and instructed. II. there

accurately.
J: The people have allowed the slow
murder Of infants and adults, by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to 80
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to so per-
sonally to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can, in most
effective way tell him by letter how
you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman IS in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and if goodly number OF
citizens express their views to him, he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re
member also that the safety Of the
people is assured by insisting that the
will Of the people be carried out, and
not the Vaccinations Of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is pure
movement Of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injurfng the people. There
fore, If your. Representative in Con-
gress .evades his patriotic duty hold him
to strict accountability and If necessary
demand equitable and honest service.
This is very different condition than
when a faction demands class legisla-
ton of the Congressman. Several
years ago the butter interests Of the
country demanded legislation to kill
the oleomargarine industry and by
power Of organization forced class leg
islation really unworthy of free peo-
pie. Work people wanted beef suet
butter because it was cheap and better
than much unclean milk butter, but the
dairy interests organized and forced the
legislation. The law should have pro-
vided that pkgs. of oleomargarine bear

let people who desire purchase 1t for
just what it is, and not try to xii! it by

Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress, but ALI thus far seem OBJ
jectionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to- retailers No
government commission or officer has
the right to fix food standards" to de-
fine what the people shall and shall not
eat, for what agrees with one may not
agree with another and such act would
deprive the common citizen. Of his per-
sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, perhaps the largest makers of
prepared foods in the world, have nat
urally q close knowledge. Of the needs
of the people ard the details OF the
business Of the purveyors, (the retail
grocery and, guided by this experience
have prepared bill for submission to
Congress which is intended to ACCOM-
plish the desired ends, and inasmucA
as a citizen of the q. S. has right to
food protection even when. he enters
another State. it is deemed proper that
the govt take control of this matter
and provide a national law to govern
all the States. A copy Of the bill Is
herewith reproduced.
Sec governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed,
or in barrels, boxed or otherwise.
Sec. . governs the retailer, who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose printed copy Of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and. inasmuch as the re-
taller cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement Of ingredients he must
publish the statement Of the makers
and add his own name and address as
q guarantee Of his selling the food as
it is represented to him which relieves
the retailer Of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning Of its
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. Of Postum and Grape
Nuts food q truthful and exact state
ment Of what the contents were made
of in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was eat
ing. A person desiring to buy, for in
stance. strictly pure fruit Jelly and
willing to pay the price has right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost but further right to certainty
as to what he eats. Or lie may be
willing to buy at less cost jelly made
part Of fruit juices. sugar and portion
of glucose. But he must be supplied
with truthful information Of the ingre-
dents and be permitted to use his per-
sonal liberty to select his own food
