Before long, it is expected that the
railroads will place a ban altogether
upon those large bullying trunks that
take up so much space in the cars
and prove so annoying to the bag
gagemen. Now, the limit is a trunk
As inches high and the company
charges excess baggage at a rate OF
five pounds for every inch. 1t Is
understood that the Interstate Com
merce Commission is considering the
matter with a view to doing away
with carriage of such cumbersome
articles. 1t has been published that
the excess rate would not be in force
until July /, but already the Maine
Central roilroad Is making patrons
pay for the extra height.
In the class of those alarmingly
spacious structures is the oldtime
Saratoga trunk, which may now be
preserved in garrets, If houses with
garrets survive, and which have been
supplanted by a new style of clothes
container. 1t possesses coat racks
trousers hangers, hat boxes, jewel
cases and maybe refrigerators. Its
colors are dark and modest but its
architecture is amazing to the eye

baggageman who tries to lay 1t on its
side finds 1t rolling through the door

Asks a Few Questions.

Salem, Ore, April Is, 1918.
To the Capital Journal:
As a taxpayer, want to ask few
questions. Why did Street Commits.
sioner Cornelius refuse to resign as
councilman for one week when the
subject first came ups Was it so he
could frame up with the old council
ring and get Stolz appointed But
Cornelius would not give up his "free
job" as councilman until he was sure
of being street commissioner. He gets
800 per month, and does not own any
property or pay any taxes in the city
of Salem. Can't we get taxpayers for
our city officesf If the mayor OBJ
iects to the special election on ac-
count Of the extra expense, why does
he keep this street commissioner, an
extra horse and buggy, and furnish
him an office VIM. Zwicker used a
bicycle, and worked himself; he is now
really the head of the street work, but
we pay the 800 for salary and furnish
him a rig also. This is some more of
Mr.. Stolz's smooth work. Why did
our council ignore the petition of the
people Of South Salem, and put War
ing back on the jobi When the people
Of my ward sent in the petition of W.
L. Cunningham for councilman, why
did the old ring want in w. s. Low,
who had been so badly defeated at the
primary, and ignore the will of the
peoplei Why will our council appoint
old councilmen who the people won It
eleeta There was no other petition in,
except that Of Mr.. Cunningham. There
is recall petition for the city attOr-
ney, but the cart is before the horse,
and, Mr.. Citizen and Taxpayer, things
will be no better until we recall this
twosided mayor and the old council
/ ring, VINO stand IN together on all sub
jects. Our mayor passes the hat at
the church on Sunday, but opposes clos
, ing up the saloon because it will cost
400 for the special election, but he
did not oppose the $500 raise in the
