BAN JOHNSON Gets IN
VERY WRONG WHEN
He ASKS EXEMPTION
By H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Nov. 22.-Ban johnson
stands alone with his surprising state
ment that he will ask the government to
exempt eighteen ball players on each
major league club in this country.
The National league will ask no such
special favor.
President Tener today told the I'm
tied Press he "wouTd not go one inch
toward Washington to ask President
Wilson or the secretary of war for spe-
eial favors for baseball"
81 think it most unpatriotic to sug-
gest that baseball should even appear
to shirk its duty at this time when so
many parents are giving their sons and
when other business interests are Civ
ing their best men to the service of cur
armed forces and are making other sac
rifices for the benefit of our country"
the National league president declared.
Mr.. Tener declared Immediately after
the United States entered the war that
basball would do its share. Today he
was more emphatic than ever in stating
that such plan as the American lea
que head proposed would not be ap-
proved by the National league.
cit seems to me nothing couldTbe
further from the purpose of baseball, 2
Tener continued. f'We cannot ask the
government to grant us the slightest fa-

CASE
IN CIRCUIT court
Suit VIII Decide Status Of
Some Street improvements
Made In Salem

J. M. Brown and others against the
City of Silverton is the title of suit
before the circuit court, issue being
joined today with the filing of the an
swer by the city. 1t win prove of more
than usual interest to Salem folks for
the reason that the suit brings up the
legality of the re-assessment OF proper
ty for street improvements. Briefly
the answer shows that after McClaine
street in Silverton had been improved,
/ il was found the remonstrance against
the Improvement was sufficient, and
that the improvement was therefore
Illegally made. Following the decision
of the supreme court in the Medford
ease, the city fathers declared the as
sessment of costs of improving said
street void on account of the sufficieney
Of the reinonstranee The city council
thereafter ON March 5, 1917, passed a
resolution submitting an amendment to
the city charter the same as that voted
on and passed here. This provided for
lre-assessment of costs on street improve
ments to property adjoining or abut-
ting ON said streets.
At the general city election held May
| Z, 1917, the said amendment was adopt
ed by the citizens by vote of S45 to
IA, and ever since has been and now
is part Of the charter of the city. That
thereafter the city council passed an
ordinance re-assessing costs of improve
ment of said MeClaine street. This is
suit exactly such as would be brought
should any Salem citizen desire to con-
test the re-assessments of costs of street
improvements on any of the streets IN
the city in similar eonditionNto the dis
puted street in Silverton.
The case has not yet been set foT
trial, but when it is, it win prove a
great interest to many Salem folks.
