one has been put upon his mettle an
results have closely measured thu
relative worth of the various ahips
and officers.
The cost of work at navy yards
has fallen materially. Steel castings
made at. navy yards have been re-
duced from about 8 cents a pound -
about 8 cents, and iron castings have
been cut from about An cents .
pound to IA.
Although the navy has increased N
size. the cost Of the coal is expected
to be about $1.00O.0 900 less during the
current fiscal year than during tho
previous one. The estimates for fuoA
for the coming year have been -
creased BY $1,000. 000s Improvement
has been made In the use Of lubsi-
eating oil. The COS Of supplies han
been reduced by more than 20 per
cent. and in freight and Transports
ton of supplies there has been .
saving Of about 100000.
The most serious waste Of funds
under the navy department has prob
ably been that due to expenditures
upon vessels that are not At to take
part In any future war. There ara
many Of these vessels that will prob
ably be relegated to the reserve q
be placed out of commission in The
near future.

The breach between the wings of the

threatened to send 1t down to defeat

this too, by the broadminded views
taken by the anti-assembly wing,

On petition OF eight aldermen the
Salem city council held a special
session Friday night TO consider the
proposed amendment to the water
board feature of the charter, to
make the same non-partisan and
composed OF three members instead
OF FIVE named by the council.
Alderman stolz raised the point
that there was no one TO vouch for
the correctness of the proposed
amendment which was attached TO
the initiative petitions. and on mo-
tion the amendment was tabled.
Before II was tabled Alderman
Elliott proposed an amendment ~
allow the water board to be chosen
for the present by the city council.
but in future TO be elected by the
people. This was also tabled on the
same objections.
Those present were the mayor.

ment cannot now be submitted at
the general election. and the cIti-
zens' committee backing II may
bring It up at n special election.
One of the committee said:
I'VE feel that we have been shut
out on technicalities. and that the
city council has made up It's mind to
name the water board and are un-
willing TO leave II TO the people or
the mayor TO appiont. We can hold
the mayor 70 appoint. We can hold
or OF recall or the board after they
are elected by the people, but we
have no control what ever over the
water board elected by the city
council"

books at the city hall last evening,
they showed a total registration OF
all voters in the seven wards of the
city, for the primary election, Ia
progress this afternoon, to be 1925,
which is a very material increase
over the registration of a year ago
and indicates that a lively and
more than usual interest is being
taken in the city election.

The contests for aidcrmanic hon

and SS Republicans in the house
during the second half OF his admin
istration.
The revulslon of political feeling
which Democrats profess to have
seen and which admittedly has wor-
ried the Republican leaders, may
leave the present incumbent OF the
white house in the samo predica-
ment in which General Harrison
found himself, the older politicians
predict.
Voters Deeply Interested.
For this reason, and because Of
the insurgent Independent move
ment which has gathered greater Inn
petus than ever before in its history,
the coming elections are being
watched with interest throughout
the country. Leaders in most OF the
states north Of Mason and Dixon's
line, and in some OF those south Of
It. where the independent insurgent
movement Is the real issue. declare
that the interest OF the voters them
selves is deeper than is usual in a
congressional election. and they are
predicting that an unusually heavy
vote win be cast.
In few OF the states the guber-
Material contest overshadows the
congressional elections. One OF the
states is New York. where the issue
is admittedly Theodore Roosevelt.
In spite of the fact that the direct
/ primary is playing a part in tho
campaign and that the tariff plank
of the Republican platform has been
the cause OF some dissension within
the ranks of the party, the question
of the influence and following of the
former president is the factor that is
taking the center OF the stage.
