dictionary republican of California and
the bitter opponent of Hiram John

careful not to trust those proxies to

secretly in every possible way to keep
the machinery of the republican party
in the hands of himself, Hemenway,
Barnes, Crocker, Sam Perkins and Mar
tin.
"During the campaign last fall, we
knew what these men represented, but
we believed that Mr.. Hughes knew
what they represented also and that his
election was a sure way of stripping
them of their power in the republican
party"
Perkins declared there was need FOR
unity against the "incompetent demo
cratic administration but not "by an
executive committee which has done
nothing except to perpetuate itself in
power" and urged action by the ma
tional republican committee to "name
some committee that will be represen-

COUNCIL ORDERS NEW
CHARTER PREPARED
Playground Road Paving Row
Starts---Ask State to Pay
Share of Paving

system of city government, at the meet
ing of the city council last night the
resolution asking for the appointment
of committee to draft a commission
form of city charter was adopted. This
resolution was adopted only after a
warm debate between the members. The
membership will consist of three coun-
cilmen, and six citizens at large The
vote was to 5 in favor Of the resolu-
ton.
The chief debate on the proposition
Of adoption was the expense OF drawing
the proposed charter, which was estimat-
ed to be about $500 by both Aldermen
McClelland and Elliott Councilman
Jones dtclared that it would not be
much over 800, and that if the system
was adopted it would save the city
many hundreds of dollars.
Councilman Jones contended for his
resolution by saying that he believed
it would be shortsighted policy to turn
it down just now when cities all over
the country are adopting this form of
government Salem he declared to be
one of the highest taxed cities in the
| state and if this taxation is to be re-
duced it would be worth while. He
| believed the commission charter would
reduce taxes by one third.
Blame Charter for cost.
| Councilman Nelson was of the opinion
/ that if the city could get system fol
/ $100 that would save one-third ON the
taxes he was for it. Councilman Me
Clelland declared he was in favor of an
up-todate charter but wanted it to be
/ proved that it would save money.
Councimen Roberts, Buchner and Mil
let, all joined in condemning the pres
ent charter but were not wholly in fa
vor of other systems. After Mayor
Keyes spoke and declared that if the
charter was drawn it ought to be adopt
+. ed, vote was taken, which was il
favor of adoption.
Mayor Keyes appointed committed
