ASSOCIATIONS

-Four more Washington citizen as
sociations today are giving their moral
support to Government ownership and
operation of the telephone system in
the District.
Resolutions favoring Postmaster
General Burleson's proposal to take
over the phones here for the period
OF the war were adopted by the West
End. Southwest, North Capitol and
lexington, and Southeast Citizens
associations at meetings last night.
In asking for United States phone
lines. the North Capitol and Ecking-
ton Citizens Association declared that
they are paying enough for half
decent telephone service" and that
any increase IN rates is not justified.
Selden NJ. Ely, acting president of the
association. said that much trouble
was caused by unnecessary converse
ton OF women, who tie up the trunk
lines.
This association also went on rec
ord as favoring an increase in pay
to $1,000 for District school teachers
Strong for Z. s. Control
Southwest citizens came out strong
for Federal control. A committee
which had been investigating the sit
uation as affecting Southwest Wash
ington reported favorably on Govern
ment ownership OF telephones.
The report OF the committee was
unanimously adopted by the associa-
ton. The committee said that the
Government should own and operate
the telephone system here because
adequate telephone service was so
vitality important for the daily trans
action OF Government affairs: that
high degree OF efficiency would be
brought about under Government con-
troll and that the standard OF service
would be raised ana rates lowered.
The present street car service is
growing steadily worse, declared the
citizens in recommending an increase
in the number OF cars as the only
logical remedy except Government
ownership.

control OF telephone during the
period OF the war was adopted by the

tanned will be used by the food adj
mlnistration in licensing these houses
4 minimum of $1,000 salary for
teachers was approved.

BILE for the act OF his tenant in sub
leasing at exorbitant figures.

When khakied men desire to go
To lecture, concert, play or show
1t is not right that they should bear,
From out their wages, any share
Of the expense. We want to give,
To those who serve that we may live,
The very best of all life's pleasures
They guard our homes and lives and
treasures
Let every officer and crook"
Get in scot-free to have a look.
That's why we made this smileage

And if you think It's right to try it,
Please bundle up your coin and buy it!

STRANGE MAN IN THE NEIGHBoRHooD
A strange man passed through
this neighborhood Saturday. He
was hunting a lodging place. He
went to S. F. Farabee's home and
Mrs. Farabee informed him that the
house was quarantined and they
could not accommodate him. The
Stranger got mad and said he was
no tramp, that he had enough money
10 buy everything from Shady Grove
20 Wallburg; said he had nursed 70
cases of measles and wasn't afraid
Of the disease. His next step was
at L. D. Wyer's and was likewise re-
fused. He pleaded with them to let
him stop there, promising to tell
them something they did not know.
He moved on to D. NJ Wyer's and
they did not fail to tell him that
there were too many spies or pro-
Germans to take the chances and
the stranger again got awful mad;
said he was no German but after
this there would be war here and
that there was going to be great
storm that night which, however.
didn't materialize. He next stopped
at WalIburg but met with the same
rebuff, even the colored people re-
fused him. The stranger said he
was from High Point and that he
was selling rubber goods for a con-
Germ there. He was dirty, mean
looking man and gave different
names. He scared several women.
The officers should arrest such fell
lows and find out what they are up
to.

Y|N0L MAKES
GOOD BLOOD
Positive-Convincinp Proof

Many so-ca1led remedies for amaze
mia are only SO in name. Their max
ers are afraid to prove their claims by
telling what their medicines contain.
The only way to be honest with the
people is to let them know what they
are paying for. Here is the Vinol
formula. When the doctor knows
what a medicine contains, it ceases
to be patent" medicine.
r Cod Liver and Beef Peptones. Iron and
Manganese Peptonates, Iron and Am
E1on1um Citrate, Lime and Soda Glycero-
phosphates, Cascarin.
ANY doctor will tell you that the in
gradients of Vinol, as named above,
will enrich the blood and Danish amaze
mia and create strength. When the
blood is pure and rich and red, the
body is strong and robust.
You can prove this at our expense
because your money will be returned
It V1nol does not improve your health.

SCHOOL budget WAS
DEFEATED, BUT THERE
WILDE NENELECT|ON
Only STA Voters Took Trouble
To Express Opinion. 267
We're Opposed.

At the annual election held last Sat
urday when the assessed voters of the
city were asked to express an opinion
as to the school budget for the coming
year, only 374 voters took the trouble
to express and opinion and Of this
number 267 were opposed to the pre-
sent school board and its budget while
only 107 were favorable
This is the first time in the history
of the city when school board has
been defeated in its proposed budget
for school expenses and the general
opinion has been expressed that the
defeat this year was due to the negli-
genee Of those who were satisfied with
the present board while those opposing
were most active in getting out votes.
However, the fact that the budget
was defeated does not mean that schools
will close, nor will their efficiency be
impaired for lack of money, as con-
tracts for the school year ending next
June have already been signed.
Tt does mean that another election
will be held this month when the same
budget will be presented to the asses
sed voters of the city, and also that
an effort will be made to explain more
definitely to the voters what the board
of education has been doing the past
year and what it proposed to do with
the money asked for in the budget.
Under Section 1865 of the state of
Oregon laws relating to assessments
and taxation, Ben f. West, county as
SCISSOR may make reasonable exten-
sion of time for the filing of the no
tice of the school levy, if the applica-
tion is made to him in writing. Ordin-
arily such notice of levy must be made
by Dec /. Under this ruling Mr.. West
says he viii extend the time 80 days
and this will give the citizens Of Salem
who are interested in the welfare of
the schools an opportunity to fully exr
press themselves at another election
The law especially includes school dis
|tricts wherein the county assessor may
extend the time of filing its notice
Of levy.
Hence as the matter now stands, the
school board will probably call an cleo
tion this month and put it straight up
to the assessed voters in Salem as to
whether they are satisfied with the
way the city schools are being managed
or whether they want new deal.
School affairs Tor the past year have
been in the hands of the following di-
rectors E. Barnes, H. o. White,
Chauncey Bishop, Walter Winslow and
H. L. Clark.
A special meeting of the board of
directors of school district No. "a has
been called for Thursday evening of
this week, to be held at s O'Clock in
the office Of the Board of Education
for the purpose of discussing and adopt
ing budget for the school year 1918
1919 and on the further purpose of fix.
ing date for holding an election
thereon, and to instruct the chairman
of the board to take the necessary
steps for holding the election. Also
for the purpose of auditing the monthly
pay roll and issuing warrants in pay
ment thereof.
