Thanks Is
Voted Hug
By Board

Newspaper assertions that the
school board of Salem was not "a
unit in Mr.. Hugs favor" were
rather discredited last night when
the directors, at specially called
meeting, accorded George w. Hug,
superintendent, unanimous vote
of thanks as a result of his decis-
ion to remain in Salem.
Turning to representatives of
the Salem papers, w. G. Winslow,
one of the directors, observed that
there appears to have been some
argument between the two papers
as to whether Mr.. Hug would re-
main in Salem. The Capital Jour
nal had consistently maintained
that Mr.. Hug would not leave his
present position, while the States
man had been equally as insistent
that his decision was in doubt.
"Will you please tell US, SC
there will be no false impressions
what you have decided to do?" Mr.
Winslow smiled.

Technical Error
Not to InvaIidate
Bonus Bill, Ruling

Section 26 on the soldiers Donus
bill passed by the last legislature,
setting aside two pages in the vot-
ers' pamphlet for an affirmative
argument on the measure in the
event of it's reference to the vot-
ers is mere surplusage, having no
reference to any provision in the
bill and therefore has no effect up
on it one way or another and GER
tainly does not invalidate the law.
This is the opinion OF Attorney
General Van Wrinkle as expressed
to Governor Olcott this morning in
reply to a request for information
as to the effect of the mooted Sec
tion on pending bonus legislation
"If the soldiers bonus amend
ment which was submitted to the

the attorney general declares in
summing up his opinion.
The presence of the section

the house engrossing committee is
commented upon by the attorney
general who points to TINS al
showing that it was not the inten'
of the lawmakers that the meas

While the commission THIS
morning, in the absence Of Chair
man Williams, was not In posi-
tion to discuss its probable action
upon the new tariffs 1t Is expected
that they will exercise its right to
suspend the rates pending an in
vestigation into their reasonable
ness.
The new tariff also increases
the priceof fifty ride communication
tickets from $2.50 to s3.66 and es-
tablishes a six-ride strip ticket to
sell for As cents.
Tariffs providing the same In
creases in fares for Eugene and
West Linn we're also filed with the
commission this morning. On th0
Eugene lines the tariff also In
creases the rate for rides between
Eugene and iKncaid from fivs to
eight cents. and between Eugene
and Midway, Eugene and West
Springfield and Eugene and
Springfield from ten to sixteen
cents.
A special or chartered car rate
is provided between West Linn and
walling at the rate Of $3.50 per
car for the first hour and $2.50
per car for each additional hour
with a minimum charge Of $40.
An application for an increase
| in fares on its lines In these three
cities was filed with the public
service commission some time ago
but no action had as yet been TAX
en-. In its application for an In
crease in farces in Salem the cont
pany pointed out that 1t has sus-
tained a loss OF s15,647 in the OPP
Grafton of its lines In this city Tor
the year ending June 80, 1890
and added that 1t would take a
sum OF $4y,674 in excess OF the
amount actually received from the
operation OF its system to produce
a minimum return of 7 per cent
! upon its original investment
which is given as s4s6,11O.
During that year the appiica-
tion sets forth the gross operating
revenues OF the Salem systsm
, amounted 10 SlU5,4S1 with ex-
penses OF s11S.12S. These ex'
penses, IL is contended in the ap-
= plication have been materially In
= creased in practically all lines
since that date.
The tariff filed this morning ii
expected to force to an issue th'
proposed new rate schedule. Th'
commission has thirty days II
which to suspend the tariff fiiet
this morning and then has sixt,
day in which to determine its rea
J condolences or unreasonablenes
and to decide upon a just an'
