WOMEN RULERS
OF TOWN AFTER
KEEPING SECRET

YONCALLA, Ore. November 10.
-Yoncalla for one week has been
strictly q woman's town. In spirit
and in fact. women are the towns
leaders. as a week ago the voters
elected a woman mayor and a
woman to every other place in the
city government.
The women say the election has
permanently disposed of two old
adages to the effect that a woman
cannot keep a secret, and that they
cannot successfully play politics"
From house to house the women
carried on their political campai gn
secretly prior to election. 1t had
the men intended to let the incum-
bents hold over without bother OF
new ticket. The men did not
bother about the city election.
Result:
Mrs Mary Burt. mayor: native
Oregonian. graduate of Pacific Col
lege. class of 1873. who has lived
can.
Councilwomen-Mrs Jennie r.
Lassweli. wife of the retiring mayor
and prominent clubwoman; Mrs.
Bernice Wilson, pioneer school
teacher and wife Of postmaster;
Mrs. Nettie Hannah, wife of a re-
tired capitalist.
The women have no definite plans
for promoting the welfare OF the
town. Mayor elect Mary Burt says.
She adds:
I'VE intend to study conditions
and do all in our power to give the
city OF Yonca1la a good. efficient
government.
lat the worst. we cannot do
much worse than the men have
done"

SAYS PUBLIC FAIR
I#|NRA|LROADV|EWS
Situation Far More En-
couraging, Says Wiscon-
! sin Commissioner.

The attitude of the travelling pup
Tic toward the railroads and the
utilities situation in general is grow
ing far better. and is now one of fair
ness to the utilities and the railroaos
based on sound economic principles.
Carl D. Jackson, public utintieo coW
missioner Of Wisconsin. said TO-DAY IN
an interview. MI Jackson Is secono
vice president of the National AsSo-
citation of Railway and Public Utih-
ties Commissioners, which is hololng
a convention at the interstate CON-
merce Commission building this week.
Mr. Jackson said there is no paraflel
to the street railway situation in
Washington in his home state. and
was surprised when told that one
street railway company here Is piling
up a surplus on the same rate or rare
on which the other Is claimed to bare
1y exist.
1T appears to be the general feel
ing that the utilities situation IN
general is far more encouraging than
was the situation a year or two ago.
Mr.. Jackson said
Where regulation has been effective,
as general thing. the increased ex-
penscs of operation have been taken
into consideration and necessary row
enues have been provided to put the
utilities, generally speaking, upon
sound operating and financial basis.
The problem. of course. has not been
met overnight, but the solution appears
10 be along stable and encouraging lines
and in most fields is a matter for graft
fication
Enthusiastically there has been a
growing understan ding of utility pccS<
lens and necessities by the consuming
public, and in general l believe their at
titude is one of fairness to the public
utilities and based upon a sound econ
omic principle that the financial sound
ness and corresponding ability to render
good public service and expand to meet
the growing demands for public service
Is wholly in the public interest"

TEACHERS DISSATISFIED
j.. WITH SALARY PROPOSAL
CTade Instructors of Opinion That
Reelassihcation Plan Offers
Poor Future.

MembeS OF the Grade Teachers
Union are dissatisfied with salaries
offered District public school teachers
under the report OF the joint congress
sional commission on reclassification
Of salaries Their views on the ques-
ton were expressed at a meeting yes
terday afternoon at 1923 New York
avenue.
The union members took the stand
that salaries assured teachers by the
proposed reclassi1cation legislation
do not offer them a more satisfactory
future. Their sentiment will be voiced
at a meeting of the teachers council
with the board of education this att
ernoon by Miss Cecilia Dulin, repre-
sentative Of the union.
The recent order requiring part
time teachers to work fve-hour day
was discussed. and action taken by
the union to the effect that equal pay
for equal work should be the stand
ard under the new program. The
union contends that II teachers in
the primary grades are going to be
asked to teach for a full day their
longevity pay. which is less than that
received by teachers in higher grades.
should be equalized.

WRAP PACKAGES
VERY SECURED
Too Many Articles are Reported Lost
or Broken and Postotfice
Authorities Insist on Safety
First Policy.

Keokuk people are getting care
less about the way they wrap
bundles for the parcel post
Flimsy paper, string that is not
sufficiently strong in texture or guam
tity. and breakables packed with no
attention paid to safeguarding them,
make all kinds of trouble for the
postoffice people. Many people have
been asked to re-wrap packages here
recently.
Flimsy wrappers and string, just
enough to hold package together,
will not be accepted any more at
the postoffice. So many parcels
have been reported to the depart
ment as damaged and articles broken
and missing that instructions have
been issued that all parcels presented
for mailing must be prepared so that
they will stand the wear and tear
OF transportation in the mails. 1t
is better to overdo the wrapping and
make it too strong, If such thing
is possible, than to present it at the
window and have the clerk in charge
be compelled to tell that you must
take it home and wrap it up again.
