If any large share Of our people can

You are right on the main question

not be a party to running our city

don't you know that little sewer

SALEM BUSINESS MAN
ON SEWERS AND WATER
Tells Journal Reporter Capital City Has No Time to Lose
Wants First Class System Installed.

Now that Mayor Rodgers has de-
cided to not throw the city into tu-
mult by resigning, citizens who are
thinking along the same lines of maxi
ing the Capital City reasonably safe
as place to live in, and to meet
the expectations or a progressive
commonwealth, are again thinking
about two matters nearest the
hearts of all true Salemites.
Water and Sewers.
A prominent business man who is
not thinking OF politics all the time
and who tries to think consecutively
along constructive lines, was seen
this morning and he would talk
nothing else but pure water and
sewers. He would not listen to
bringing water from anywhere on
the Willamette and putting in A.
tering plant.
II will not vote dollar for any
makeshift and patchwork system
such as the powers that be propose
to slip in on us. We want a gravity
system and want II quick. There
is no reason why the state, Albany,
Stayton, and other towns in the val
ley, including the Indian Training
School should not all join us in a
first-class enterprise, We are In a
pivotal position as city to handle
the matter and with good business
policies enlist the support OF all Of
them. l am In favor of a first-class
contracting engineering firm being
employed to figure out for us Just
what IL will cost TO construct, and
what would be needed for the other
parties to the system who need pure
water just as badly as we do. That
ought 10 have been done as YOU say

SHIPPERS AND ROADS
TO Be GIVEN HEARING
Commissioner Lane Explains
the Status of Freight Rate
Advance Cases.

Both shippers and railroads interested
in the freight rate advance cases now
pending before the interstate commerce
commission are to be given a hearing
by the commission. even though President
Taft did deny the request of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association that the COM
mission be ordered TO grant a direct hear
ing instead Of taking testimony through
it's special examiners.
Commissioner Lane said today that the
cases were not yet ready for a hearing
by the commission. Only two of the
twelve railroads. he said, have presented
and perfected their cases. None OF the
shippers interested have done SO. The
course now being pursued by the COM
mission. said Mr.. Lane. Is the same as
1t has been following the past two years.
I'VE feel that in view of the unpre-
paredness Of both railroads and shippers

The play is up to the republicans,

We may regard IL as certain that from
now onward the republican file leaders
will begin to gather about Roosevelt.
With the returns of November, sure to
show yet greater republican losses than
those of last Tuesday. the cry for Roose-
welt will swell into a roar. The argu-
ment will be that he, and he alone, can
