WILL PUT
SPEElERS IN JAIL
For the First offense a Fine, But for
the Second Jail Sentence
Only,
[uNlrrp pRnas LnAsrn YIRn.l

Seattle, Wash, April S.-The city
council yesterday afternoon passed
unanimously the ordinance Of Council
man Griffiths which cOmpels the police
judge to inflict q Jail sentence for the
second violation of the sped ordinance.
For the first offense the judge may in
flict Jail or fine, but he has no discre-
tionary power for the second offense.
The ordinance was introduced four
weeks ago. 1t then provided that all
violations of the speed ordinance should
be punishable with fine and imprison-
ment, but there was so much opposi'
ton he amended it. The agitation for
some sort of measures to stop speeding
resulted from series of fatal acci-
dents which eliminated last week with
the killing of a 6.year.old girl. There
is also under consideration in the cOun-
ell an ordinance to compel all drivers Of
automobiles to be registered, so the po'
lice can keep better record Of them.

COUNCIL VOTES TO
EMPLOY ENGINEER
Jones Emphatically Opposes Plan and
Wants Water Question Submitted
to People.

By a vote of 9 to 8 the city council,
at a meeting last night, decided to EN-.
ploy Robert G.. Dieck, civil engineer
Of Portland, to represent the city in the
appraisal of the plant of the Salem
Water Company, The resolution pro-
vides that Dieck shall receive $25 per
day and expenses, but shall not get over
$1,000. 1t was explained that the con-
tract was so worded that he could be
discharged at an time. Rigdon thought
Dieck would not cost over $500.
Alderman Jones emphatically opposed
the employment of Dieck until tho peo-
pie had voted ION the proposition. He
asserted that over three years had been
taken up, and much Of the city's money
expended in an effort to find out how
much the plant is worth. He earnestly
pleaded that the question be put up tC
Salem residents, so that they could de
eide what they want,
Alderman Rigdon said the recommen
dation Of the committee that Dieck b
employed was the best the cOmmite
could make, and he wanted suggestion
from Jones as to what he considere
the best method of acquiring muniC
ipal plant. Jones reiterated his deClara
tion that the matter be submitted to tn
people. The vote on the proposition fol
lows:
For employment of Dieck-Browr
Cunningham, Hatch, MintOn, Rigdor
Siegmund, skaife, sOuthwick, stolz.
Against employment Of Dieck-Con
stable, Jones, Macy, Turner, Waring.

Must Abolish Privilege.

II is plain what those principles must

from the duties laid upon articles which

Of the tariff dutios hcnceforth laid
must be effective competition tho

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Points out Broadly Conditions
the Tariff Has Led Up to,
and Remedy.
MUST DEAL WITH FACTS
Must Meet the Situation as It Is Today,
and Not With Conditions That
Have Been.

The following is the presidents mes
sage made by hi INTO congress in joint
session today:
To the Senate and House Of Represen.
tatives:
have called the congress together in
extraordinary session because duty
was laid upon the party now in power
at the recent elections which it ought
to perform promptly, in order that the
burden carried by the people under ex'
listing law may be lightened as soon as
possible and in order, also, that the
business interests Of the country may
not be kept too long in suspense as to
what the fiscal changes are to be to
which they will be required to adjust
themselves. II is clear to the whole
country that the tariff duties must be
altered, They must be changed to meet
the radical alteration in the conditions
of our economic life which the country
has witnessed within the last genera
ton While the whole face aud method
Of our industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recognition
the tariff schedules have remained what
they were before the change began, or
have moved in the direction they were
given when no large circumstance Of
our industrial development wos what it
is today. Our task is to square them
with the actual facts. The sooner that
is done the sooner we shall escape from
suffering from the facts and the sooner
our men Of business will bo free to
thrive by the law Of nature (the nature
Of free business) instead of by tho law
of legislation and artificial arrange
ment.
It Became Patronage
We have seen tariff legislation wan.
der very far afield in our day-very
far indeed from the field in which our
prosperity might have had q normal
growth and stimulation. No one who
looks the facts squarely in the face or
knows anything that lies beneath tho
surface of action can fail TO perceive
tho principles upon which recent tariff
legislation has been based We long
ago passed beyond the modest notion Of
protecting" the industries Of the
country and moved boldly forward to
the idea that they were entitled to the
direct patronage Of tho government.
For a long time--a time 80 long that
the men now active in public policy
hardly remember the conditions that
preceded tive have sought in our tar.
if schedules to give each group Of
manufacturers or producers what they
themselves thought that they needed in
, order to maintain practically exclu.
sivo market as against the rest Of tho
world. Consciously or unconsciously,
, wo have built up a sot Of privileges and
exemptions from competition behind
Z which it was easy by any, even the
D crudost, forms Of combination to or.
. ganizo monopoly until at last nothing
r is normal, nothing Is obliged to stand
tho tests Of efficiency and economy, in
our world Of big business, but every
J. thing thrives by concerted arrangement.
}, Only new principles Of action will save
?. US from final hard capitalization Of
enterprise and keep Independent energy
alive.
