DENOuNCE PARCELS POST
Salem Business Men See In Measure
Ruin for Small Merchants.

AT a largely attended meeting of the
Salem Business Mems League, Tues
day night. a resolution was passed
protesting against the adoption Of the
parcels post system. The resolution
reads as follows:
Whereas, there is now movement
on foot in congress to establish a par
cells post system; and
whereas. the passage of this act
would be detrimental to the merchants
of small localities and to the mer-
chants of the city of Salem;
Therefore, be 1t resolved by the
Salem Business Mems league, in regu-
lar session assembled. this 9Th day of
December, 1910, that we are emphat-
ically opposed to the establishment OF
a parcels post system, either local or
general. We do not believe local par
cells post would benefit local merchants
and it would certainly be soon follow
ed by a general system, which would
work great injury to them. Local mer-
chants find it exceedingly difficult to
maintain their position and the pros
perity Of all ordinary communities de-
pends largely on the maintenance of
the local system of trade to supply
markets and facilities for community
business.
THE establishment of a parcels post
would be a discrimination in favor of
large cities against all local retail deal
avS xuo,,Id antail largo increase of
expense to the postoffice department,
and long postponement of the one
cent letter postage rate. The interest
Of all small communities and towns
everywhere is certainly adverse to the
parcels post.

STATE TO USE ONE SCHOOL
Three Of -Four Normals VIII Remain
Closed, is Belief.

There will probably be no State Nor
NAL School next year except at Mon
mouth, the institution provided by an
initiative measure at the recent election
This is the opinion of w. b. Ayres, a
member of the Board of Regents for
the state normal schools. The schools
at Drain, Ashland and Weston will re-
main idle unless the legislature makes
provision for their maintenance,
which is regarded as unlikely by those
close to the situation.
The Board of Regents is composed
of the Governor, Secretary of State,
Superintendent of Public Instructions:
e. e.. Bragg, of Union county; c. e.
Spence, head of the State Grange;
Stephen Jewell, of Grants Pass; Hen
ry j. Maier, of The Dalles, e. Hofer, of
Salem, and C. l.. Starr, of Salem. The
Governor is chairman of the board. A
meeting will probably not be called un-
til the latter part of January, when in
coming officers who will have charge
of the schools may be present.
Undoubtedly the normal school at
Monmouth will be the only one main
tanned next year said Mr.. Aver yes
terday, ''as the Legislature made no
appropriation for other schools. The
Board of Regents has no power to dis
pose of normal school property and l
suppose the schools at Drain, Ashland
and Weston will remain idle. The
meeting of the board is subject to call
of the chairman. l do not think it
would be advisable to call a meeting
until some time in January, when all
the members, who will have direct SUI
vervision of the normal schools, will
be present.
"A meeting in January would also
be to advantage, as the Legislature
will then be in session, and the board

anxious that the beauty and useful
ness of our park in the public square
shall in no way be impaired We re-
gard it as one of our city's greatest
attractions and most valuable assets,
and we set great value upon each of
the trees in the park. Lack of skill
or mistakes of judgment in the cutting
of limbs of these trees may do ire
parable harm, and we deem it of great
importance that the trimming Gf the
trees be done under the supervision of
experts of we'll known skill and expe-
rience in such work We feel that the
risks taken in having this work done
by persons without such skill and ex-
perience are too great.
We therefore beg of you that you
direct that until otherwise ordered by
you, all cutting of limbs of trees in the
park be suspended. And we beg fur
Their that your honorable body will pro
vide that hereafter all such work shall
be done by or under the supervision of

PLASTERlNG CRASHED DOWN
IN GOVERNORS BED ROOM

Governor Brown and Mrs. Brown
were aroused from slumber a few
nights ago by a terrific crash in their
bedroom at the Mansion. Jumping up
to investigate the governor found a
huge piece of plastering that had fall
len from the ceiling, and which would
have badly injured them had it fallen
on the bed.
Since then the plastering in the
room is coming away in great flakes,
and the bedroom has been abandoned
as it was dangerous to sleep in it.
The mansion is badly in need of re-
pairs. The building is an old one. ana
the temporary repairs only check the
trouble for a time.
This fact will probably have weight
with the special committee appointed
at the last session of the legislature to
investigate the question of disposing
OF the property and erecting a new
executive mansion.

,, Association of the District of Columbia
has learned with sorrow of the death

when the Joint Resolution asking for
an amendment to the Constitution in
favor of Woman Suffrage was referred
first to the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate and by them referred back to
the Woman Suffrage Committee. AL
though Senator Clay was i'll at that
time, and burdened with other com
mittee work, and the time to prepare
was brief, he cheerfully made the nee
essary arrangements, which resulted
in the remarkable hearing on that
date.
Resolved, That copies of this .reso-
luton be sent to the family of Senator
Clay, to the Woman's Journal, and to
two newspapers in Georgia.
