only by the sobbing Of his wife,
Frank said:
"My innocence is known to God now
the whole world will know it some

IN FAVOR
OF COMMISSION FORM
OF CITY GOVERNMENT
B. ". Macy Says Last Charter
Was Defeated Because Of
Misunderstanding

Speaking last evening at the Uni.
tartan church on the commission form
of government, Alderman b w. Macy
declared that at the election last fall,
the charter was defeated because the
people were not informed as to its
merits, and that the votes against it
came mostly from wards four. five and
six. In the present form of city gov.
ernment, the mayor has practically no
power, said Mr.. Macy and that the
work of the council is done mostly bv
committees.
The present form of city government
IL relic of the past and if Salem had
had a general manager since 1907, he
would have been cheap at $4,000 a
year. Mr.. Macy further contended that
business man administration is bad
for city because the business man is
too busy with his own affairs to prop.
erly look after the city's business.
Alderman ], A. Mills also spoke in
favor of the commission form Of gov.
ernment and cited the recent appoint.
ment of a city purchasing agent to show
how the city would save money if the
city's business is centralized. He
cited instances since he had been on
the council, where bills had been paid
three times, simply because the busi.
ness of the city had not been conducted
on business lines. The purchasing agent
was step in the right direction, as
now, at least, one man was purchasing
for the city instead Of half a dozen.
c. d. Babcock spoke in favor of
commission of three to handle the city g
business, but did not favor the general
manager plan. He thought commits.
sion of three could properly handle the
business and even then not devote all
their time to it. Notwithstanding the
inclcmency of the weather there was a
good crowd in attendance and marked
interest was manifested in the discus.
sion of the subject, which promises to
be real, live issue in the near future.
