settled that question and the mayor
did not vote.
Committee on Bridge Named
Then it was moved to reconsider the
vote on the amendment and it was NOV
ed that in lieu of the $40 month the
deputy health officer should have a
phone and street car tickets but that
he should present receipts from the
phone company and from the street ear
company for the amounts not to ex
ceed So a month. This carried and then
the original motion carried.
it was Councilman Ward s night for
business and he brought up the propo-
sition of new motorcycle for the po-
lice department. on account of the fact
that the old one had broken down. He
said he had received proposition from
Watt Shipp TO take the old machine
and $l60 for new one, and he believ-
ed it ought to be done. With scarcely
mo debate this measure carried.
The salaries of the assistant record
ed and the stenographer were adjusted
at this meeting.
On motion of Councilman Ward, it
was decided to appoint a committee TO
work in. CONJUNCTION. With the Marion
county court and the Commercial club

and MeClelland were appointed.

the state board of control in keeping
experienced employees when the lure of
higher wages in other lines and places
is strong, so that the increased cost of
living can be more adequately met.
The city is finding that it cannot keep
experienced men without an increase III
salary under present conditions.
But when Councilman Ward moved
that the fire chief be empowered to
employ three more regular men in place
of three call men, so as to make the
fire department more efficient and get
men who are experienced, there was
immediate opposition from Councilmen
Nelson and Wilson, and Mayor Keyes.
1t Was Not Child S Play
Councilman Ward, in support of his
motion, stated that it was not meant
as child S play and that it was forced
by the fact that at a recent fire the
big auto pumper was compelled to race
to the fire with only driver and no
men. This fire was just at the noon
/ hour when several of the firemeIp were
/ off duty for their meals. 1t was to min
imize this danger that he proposed the
+ increase in the department.
He stated there was provision for the
I three additional regular men in the
budget and 5000 appropriated. He de-
elared the department needed the men
and the city needed the department.
/ Councilman Nelson said he could not
see the need of the increase and COun-
Gilman Wilson wanted to know fwho
provided for the three men.
Councilman Ward replied that it was
the finance committee of the old coun-
ell which consulted with the fire chief
and made a survey of the needs of the
department. He said it would be q
shame if the proposition did not go
through.
Council 7 to /
Councilman Wilson cut in with the
remark that it would be a shame if it
did go through.
Councilman Ward then explained
that several of the call men expected
to leave soon if not elected to a regu-
/ lar Job, and if they did leave the de-
ipartment would be out experienced
men. He said two men, experienced,
have left recently to accept positions
where they can get better pay. The
new men proposed to put in are an en-
gineer and two hosemen.
+ 1t was the opinion of Councilman
Jones, although he said he was not fa-
miliar with the matter, that if the com
mittee went into the matter and saw
/ he necessity of the additional men to
the extent of providing s2700 for them,
that he was in favor of the report Of
the committee.
The matter finally carried by a
vote of seven to four.
Deputy Health Officer
When Councilman Ward asked that
the council raise the salary OF the dep
aty health officer from sos TO SO a
month so that he could have the use
of telephone and use the street ears,
another small fight was precipitated.
Mayor Keyes began to warm up
about this time and said he did not
like 10 see so much increase in salaries.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-05-29

He thought the council ought to dis
pense with the office of deputy
officer altogether.
In reply Councilman Ward stated
that the city of Salem spends less
money than any city its size for health
protection. He said that in all, the sum
spent for medical inspection was only
$500. He said in explanation that he
and the committee in charge of this
department had authorized the deputy
health officer to install a telephone
and to buy street car tickets so that
he could get about the city quicker
and so increase his efficiency instead
of getting about on foot. The increase
was not really an increase in salary
but expense money limited to So.
Phone and Car Tickets
Councilman Wilson declared that if
the deputy health officer could not in
stall telephone and buy street car
tickets on his sos a month, the coun-
ell could accept his resignation.
1t was stated by Councilman Nelson
that three men were waiting for the
JOB at $65 a month, and Mayor Keyes
stated that if three men were willing
to take the job at 500 he did not sec
VIII the council should raise the in
cumbent S salary.
Councilman Elliott moved to amend
the motion by allowing the city to pay
the deputy's phone bill and street car
tickets. This provoked considerable dis
cussion and the councilmen got to quib-
bling over the extent of street car tick
cts the deputy health officer might buy
in month A vote was asked and when
it was six in favor of the amendment
and five against, Mayor Keyes declar-
ed he was going to vote and make it a
tie, which would kill the amendment.
Councilman johnson then turned to
the charter, because considerable sur
prise was expressed at the mayor at
tempting to vote when there was no
tie, and read the provision which stated
precisely that the mayor only voted
when there was a tie. However, Mayor
Keyes decided to do little steam roll
ering on his own account and declared
he would rule that he could vote.
At this time Councilman Johnson ask
ed the opinion of City Attorney Macy
on the subject and the attorney replied

The Liberty Loan of 1917, Its Terms
and It's Objects.
Washington May 29.-The big fact
ors in modern warfare are men and
money.
Most nations making ready for war
! first mobilize their man-power. The
United States has reserved the usual
order by first mobilizing its money
power. The reasons for this reversal
are self evident. This country, not be-
1 ing a military power, did not have its
men ready for immediate fighting. But,
being the richest nation in the world,
/ its wealth was ready for action. So, in
1 its anxiety to make its might imme-
ldiately felt in the greatest war of all
times, it began by marshalling its dol
lars.
The Liberty Loan means just what its
title implies. 1t is our first bit added
I to the Joint activities OF liberty loving
nations to crush German autoeraey and
1 all that it stands for 1t is our imme-
I date substitute for an army. 1t Is our
offering to renew the credit of the
| fighting allies so they may not be
hampered in their grim task, until we
shall be able to place our army along
side theirs in the trenches
The Liberty Loan was authorized by
congress within three weeks of the date
of our recognition of q state of war with
/ Germany. 1t outlined the greatest fin
aneial program ever undertaken by any
nation on earth. 1t authorized the sec
retary of the treasury to use the credit
of the nation 70 the extent of seven
billions of dollars-five billions to be
I borrowed bv the sale of bonds, and two
! billions to be raised by certificates of
Indebtedness. 1t provided that three
+ billions of dollars of this money should
/ he loaned to our European allies without
profit to the United States. a 1t faxed
! the interest rate at not 10 exceed IL
per cent and provided that II, at any
/ time during the war, the United States
/ issued other loans at higher rate, these
bonds would be convertible at the high
er rate.
Secretary of the Treasury William G.
McAdOo Immediately began to make
available to the allies portion of the
credit represented by the certificates
of indebtedness. Through the maehin-
cry of the Federal Resery System hanks
we asked to subscribe two hundred mil
lion dollars of this amount. The re-
sponse was Overwhelming and the offer
ing was almost Immediately repeated
with the same result. Secretary Ne

500 100000. A program was outlined
TO extend additional credit at the rate
of a hundred million dollars a week.
This move for temporary relief COM
pleted. the secretary of the treasury set
about the main task of war financing
provided in the bond act. He announced
the issue of two billions of dollars
worth of bonds to be distributed June
Is and for which subscriptions would be
received up to that date. The response
was indicative of the patriotic spirit
of the nation and its ability to pay.
Throughout the first day after this issue
was offered to the public, subscriptions
came by telegraph at the rate of mil
lion dollars an hour. 1t was the plan
of Secretary McAdoo to make this loan
representative of the spirit of the peo-
pie and to that end he decreed that the
bonds should be issued in as small as
S5 denominations so that the laborer,
the man in the street, and the shop girl
might participate in it along with the
banker, the broker and the merchant.
In this particular it was kept true to its
name-a loan in which all of the lovers
of liberty could participate.
Offers to buy bonds did not constr
tute the only evidence of the nation s
enthusiasm and loyalty. The offers to
perform active service in making the
loan A success were overwhelming. The
law creating this loan provided that. no
commissions for the sale of bonds should
be paid. but this restriction was super
fluous. Bond brokers, bankers, invest
ment houses, merchants, express COM
panies and others volunteered to act
as agents without charge. Many large
EMPLOYERS of labor even volunteered to
buy the bonds outright and let their en-
plovees repurchase them on the install
ment plan. To further exemplify the
popular character of the loan, Secretary
MeAdoo created a woman 8 committee
to assist in the sale and distribution OF
the bonds. To add to the attractive
ness of the bonds as an investment they
were made tax free Except as to IN
heritance taxi and the interest is pay
able mi-annually, June 10 and Decem-
