Aid Thomas ]. Lynch moved to
publish and put on file the resolution.
His motion was concurred in.
Taking the report as accurate one
finds that some very important
points are left out by the board of
supervising engineers. They fail to
tell how many of the cases they cite
are franchised companies.
Many of the companies in other
cities pay so much per car; and,
where the city does not get SIS per
cent of the profits of the company,
it's to the interest of the stockhold-
ers to decide whether or not they are
paying their presidents too much or
too little.
The city pays Busby more money
each year than it pays the mayor
and look at the service Chicago gets
in return.

TOOK LONG TINE TO FIND CITY

The cases against George Koop
and four other free speech advocates
arrested in Holden Ct and at Goth
and ffalsted SITS. were nonsuited
when they appeared Before Judge
Graham. ...
In other words, after being beaten
UP by the police for holding meet
ing on Holden Ct, a city street
which happens to be between the two
stores of Mandei Bros, the speakers
were released because the police
knew their cases were too weak.
Mandel Bros. have built below, on
both sides Of and over Holden ct.
The free speakers wished to meet
there, but then, you know, meetings
are liable to make MandePs alley

So police were called when the
speakers held their first meeting
there. Clubs and fists broke up the

WHAT MAKES LEN BUSBY
WORTH $6o,o0o PER?

WORTH 100000 PER?
Many weeks ago Aid. Kennedy in
troduced a resolution into the city
council asking for reduction in sal
airy for Leonard Busby,- the 100000
a year president of the Chicago Sur
face lines.
The council transportation COM
mittee put it up to the board of SUI
pervising engineers, who, after
months of research work, have
handed back their report.
The report proves, to the satisfac-
ton of the board of supervising en-
gineers, that Busby is getting a
smaller salary than other street rail
road presidents when the relation be-
tween the salary of the president
and the receipts Of the company is
considered.
The report is signed by Bion ].
Arnold and in it he tells how sorry
he is that he is unable to give the
names Of the companies he cites as
paying their presidents a larger per
centage of their income than Chica-
90. He states that the information
was given him as confidential and
that he could not hand it to the al
Germen.
AID Ketlnedy's resolution asked
that Busby's salary be reduced to
$4,000, the amount received by the
mayor.
q would like to have the commit
tee ask the board Of supervising en-
gineers why the street car company
finds the services of Busby so valu-
able" said Kennedy.
eff he wasn't worth that much
would the company employ him?''
asked Aid. HIGHLANDER.
There is a difference of interest
here" replied Kennedy. "Busby
might be worth that much for the

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE.

Bad blood, that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism;. and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause Of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher Of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood eorpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.

NELSON PAYS TAX
FIRST THIS YEAR
Waiting for Receipt When Of
fee Opened This Morning
Payments Brisk

julius Nelson of this city was on
hand bright and early this morning
when the tax collectors office opened
and paid the first taxes into the treas
ury for the year 1914. He was followed
by eight others in the next half hour
and the early activities indicated that
the taxes would be paid with dispatch
despite the alleged hard times There
is no discount for paying taxes early
or before April when the first half
becomes over due nor is there any pen
atty on the second half which is not due
until September.
The total tax to be raised on the 1914
roll is $93l, ,S67.85 which is apportioned
as follows: State and county 1886, ,720.-
SS; schools $3.50, ,l64.1S; roads $780,.
130.S9; cities and towns 1905, ,706,60;
fire patrols $145.30. Salem school dis
trict No. "a receives the largest amount
from the school fund, $93,299.O9 and
the city of Salem receives $l74, ,49l.0S.
Only three towns in the county did not
levy special taxes, Butteville, Donald
and Sublimity. That of st. Paul was
the smallest $20s.23. The total valua-
tion of property in this county is $43,'
450,035.
Last year the total valuation for this
county was slightly more than this year
and totaled $43 ,629,95s and raised tax
of $996,8O7.44. For 1912 the property
valuation was placed at $42, ,7s5,O26 and
the total tax to be raised was $685.
2S2.52. For 1911 the property value Of
the county was $42, 1891, $40 and the tax
was $93s,332.19. The tax rates for the
city of Salem for the four years were:
1911, 29.6; 1912, ESQ; 1913, 1872; and
1914 30.5. Special taxes were voted
in "a school districts of the county, "a
road districts and in 10 cities and
towns.
Owing to the chance for error there
will be no telephone in the tax col.
lector 8 office this year. Last year so
many tax payers called up over the tel.
ephone to find out the amount Of their
taxes and there was such large chance
for error in the verbal descriptions of
property given that the rule was made
this year that all tax payers must call
in person or send in post card to the
tax collector.
