CITY ATToRNEYsH1P DISCUSSED

Salem, Ore, December 4, 1918
To the Editor - | observe by the
Morning Statesman of the Sd instant
that the city council has employed
John H. McNary and W. H. Trindle
as attorneys to assist in the foreclos-
ure of liens for street Improvements
and that the city has agreed to pay
said attorneys $3.50, fees for such ser
vices. AS citizen and tax payer |
certainly protest against such action.
The first question that presents it.
self to every thinking tax payer is,
why the city council docs net employ
a city attorney who is competent to
do this work. l have been informed by.
able attorneys that after the prepara-
tion Of the first compls int that the
work is almost entirely Of a clerical
nature and requires little legal knowl-
edge. If this is true there is certainly
no necessity for piling up expense
against the city for employing outside
attorneys.
The time is now ripe for the appoint
ment of city attorney for the ensuing
term. am not interested whether a
new attorney should take the place of
the present one except in SO far as it
effects the people who are paying the
bills. II this matter were coming up
in the middle of the year when it had
been discovered that the city attorney
was not competent to foreclose these
liens there might be somo excuse for
employing outside counsel; hut just at
the end Of the term if the present at
toTney is not competent, the council
can appoint one who is competent and
there is no excuse for squandering $3.50
Another question IS, what is the
$3.50 to be paid for No enc can tell in
advance how many liens will have TO
be foreclossd, The legal talent in each
will be only a repetition of the first
suit. Is this 800 Just for the use Of
the attorneys namesa Ii not, how can
anyone know whether the work will
be worth $3.50 or 800 Certainly no
man who claims the honof of being a !
member Of the Oregon state bar would |
need any legal assistance TO forcclose |
these liens. If he does he is not entitled I
to dSiw the salary of city attorney.
believe a good business man would |
not pay $1,000 a year as retainer for
In incompetent attorney for whom he
would be required to employ assistance
,aeh time any work was to he done. II
$ time the city of Salem was being
run upon a proper business basis, and
with the same care as private affairs

New York Futures.
New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans. November 2.-The price of cotton made further wide slumps today, selling movement appearing on the opening and being in force for sometime after. Mainly, it was re- flection of, the declines in New York over the holidays here yesterday. Be-
 fore the session was very old prices
 were 143 to 153 points under the close of Thursday. Realizing by shorts over the weekend and moderate volume of fresh long buying checked the down.
 ward movement and brought about a recovery of about 60 points. Last prices
 showed net losses for the session of 91 to 104 points.
 Bearish sentiment was encouraged by
 talk of declaration of peace which
 many traders think Is in sight, being a depressing influence and, also, there were reports of the cancellation of large war orders for cotton goods. These rumors, however, were officially denied by Washington. The cold weather over the belt and the probability that 1t had damaged the top crop to material ex- tent had little effect on the market beyond steadying 1t at the decline Spot prices here were mraked down by 50 points, which put middling al 2S.50c against the low price of the day for December of 27.50c.

.bEARISH NATURE
 ! OF BATTLE FRONT ! SENDS DOWN GRAIN
Government Bidding on Oats Helped to Bolster Up Staple, While Provi-
 sions Sagged

Chicago. November 2.-Corn averaged lower today, chiefly as result of the bearish character of war developments. The market closed unsettled at 7sc net declines to Be advance, with December $1.13 to s1.1SA and January $l.14A to sf 14lz. Oats gained tsc to ssc, and pro- visions finished unchanged to 20c off.
 Lack of support formed the principal feature of the corn market.
 Attention remained focused almost en- tirely on European advices and it was a generally accepted opinion thats the current news furnished no immediate in- centive to would-be buyers. Bears de- rived advantage from the fact that the movement of the new crop was increas- ing, and that liberal arrivals were looked for next week. Weather conditions were regarded as favorable for curing and handling the grain.
 Government bidding put strength into oats. The bids, however, were out or line with the views of holders, and did not result in any important transac- tions.
 Provisions sagged little with corn and hogs. Western receipts of hogs for the week were considerably larger than a year ago, but so too, were shipments of lard and meats.

Over campbell & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans. November 2.-Further
 wide declines were made in the cotton
 market today, chiefly in sympathy with
 the slump in New York yesterday. The
 argument that peace will be bearish
 influence still has weight and yesterday
 brought a crop of rumors that whole
 sale cancellation of war contracts al-
 ready had come about. These rumors
 were officially denied today.
 Opening at the decline the market
 quickly lost 135 to 152 points on the most
 active positions. Weekend realizing by
 shorts became a factor and moderate buying for long account came in. on the decline the market was steadied by the cold weather over the belt and the forecast of continued low temperatures for large part of the belt undoubtedly stimulated some of the buying reac- ton developed which carried prices nearly 60 points up from the bottom. The close l showed net losses for the session Of 91 to 1N points.
 Reports circulated in this market today were to the effect that Liverpool now Is short 900 bales of contracts on this side of the water. It has been claimed
 for sometime that Liverpool interests were taking prominent part in the bear campaign now under way, with the outspoken purpose of forcing out south- ern spot owners and creating cheaper market for the English spinner to oper- ate on after the war. We believe that this phase of the situation is worth watching Shepard & Gluck.
