TO EXTEND
CITY LIMITS
Petitions Will Be Circulated
Today Asking for an
Election.

my idea is to inaugurate a 20,-
900 campaign so as to insure for
the city of Salem 10000 popula-
ton when the census has been taken
by the enumerators" said Mayor
Rodgers this morning when inter-
viewed by a representative of the
Capital Journal with relation to the
movement started this morning for
the purpose of bringing certain ter
ritory lying north, east and south of
the city within its corporate limits.
"It is true" he continued, that
the city limits now are very extern
sive but the fact that so much of
the acreage within the limits have
no population upon it and the fact
that there is so much acreage left
out which is plated and has pop
ulation upon ii, the situation be-
comes such that a census return
showing the acreage and population
would scarcely do THE city justice.
MY idea is therefore to take into the
corporate limits the populous centers
lying north, south and east of the
city and which when annexed will
add to the city's population fully
5000 people.
Circulate Petitions Today.
eve have no charter provision
upon this subject and therefore
must proceed under the state law.
The law provides that petitions must
be circulated calling for a special
election on the subject and that
they must be signed by 20 per cent
of the legal voters who participated
in the last general election. The
petitions will not require many sign
ers as the vote at the last election
was light owing to the fact that
there was no contest. The petitions
will then be presented to the coun-
Gil and an election called and a no.
tice of the election published in a
paper of general circulation and al
so posted in the city and in the ter
ritory proposed to be annexed. The
circulation of the petitions was com
menced this morning and there will
be one for each tract of territory
proposed to be annexed so that if
one should fail it will have no effect
upon the others in the field.
"The council will meet on the
first Monday after the election and
canvass the votes of the election. 1t
is necessary that a majority vote be
cast both by the voters inside Of
the corporate limits and also by
those in the territory to be an
neXed."
Election BE Held in March.
81 expect to have the petitions all
signed up and ready so that 1 can
submit the question to the council
next Monday. After action is taken
upon it by that body it will require
four weeks for the giving of notices
and the election should be held not
later than the latter part of March.
Matter of Enterprise.
1t is the only opportunity that
the city has had of taking in this
adjacent territory and it must take
quick action as the census will COM
mence April Is, and the time is now
ripe for this action to be taken.
Other towns are doing the same
thing and Salem by following the
precedent set by them will establish
a name for enterprise.

and to maintain national policy of
pomp and splendor'
Tawney urged abrogation of the
rule, instituted by Democratic
House, giving to eight different COM
mittees the power of preparing the
money bills for each Congress and the
adoption of new rule constituting
one committee. large enough to be
representative of every section. to
have initial control over all appro-
priation bills
He supported this by showing that
the Appropriations Committee in the
bills in its jurisdiction cut $16,933,-
925 under the estimates, while the
bill from the seven other committees
exceeded the estimates by $780,
402.
Tawney figured that the total def
ciencies appropriated for at the last
session are less by $7.587,654 than
those of the previous session and
$11.825.7 1888 less than the average an
nual deficiencies since the Spanish
War. Livingston, comparing the four
years of Roosevelts term with the
last four years of Cleveland's Admin
istration, said there was NEARLY $4,-
600. 900. 900 for four years of Repub-
licanism, as compared with less than
half that sum for the same .)eriod by
a Democratic President"
Tawney contended that reduction
of $28,529,821 from the last session
of the Sixtieth Congress had been
achieved. He said that the Admins
tration had rendered Congress mate
rial aid in reducing expenses. and
that a wholesome balance between
revenues and expenditures had been
restored, and that prospects indicated
that the Government receipts for the
fiscal year 1911 would exceed the au-
thorized appropriations by $11.937,-
812.
The Democratic view was that
"again the high-water mark of bill
ion dollars of expenditures is passed. !"

nation issue. river and harbor obli-
cations, public buildings authorized.

Both parties agree: Appropria-

These contentious epitomize the an
nual review of national appropria-
tions and expenditures, made public
by Chairman Tawney. of the Appro-
priations Committee Of the House.
and Representative Livingston. of
Georgia, ranking Democratic member
of that committee. Tawney's fixed
charge statement is based on deduct
ing from the aggregate the authorize
tons which carry no appropriations;
Panama Canal cost. which bond sales
will pay for: the $4,000 900 for rec
lanation projects. which an issue of
Indebtedness certificates will cover.
and deficiency appropriations and
miscellaneous acts for payment of
claims and other special matters ex-
pendable the present fiscal year, in
stead of the next.
Tawney asserted that summary of
the constructive legislation of the first
regular session of the Sixty-first Com
gress constitutes record of accom-
rlishment surprising in Importance

Congress. Livingston denounced
what he called large increase on ac-
count of public expenditures. an in
crease of the public debt. half bill
ion dollars, spent for militarism, and
the treasury drained for Army and
Navy"
Tawney said there was a substan-
tial reduction in the current military
expenses, while Livingston asserted
that under the reclamation issue and
naval appropriations I'VE have pol

bonds issued against the humble
homes of the settlers and the lavish
handing out of millions upon tens of
