Salem Election Yet Little Interest Sparked
Salem April 1 1924 with scant voter interest in the city election. Two tickets contest for mayor and councilors across wards, plus a 20 cent special tax levy for street paving. Candidates include Kexet and Kemper for mayor, Cross for reeve, Leonard for water, and Pittro for school, with council bids in each ward. Local business notes, marriages, and industry updates fill the rest of the page.

Rate Cage 15 Reopened by Commission
Washington April 1 The Interstate Commerce Commission reopened the Intermountain rate case begun in 1911 after a Spokane Merchants Association and the Nevada railroad commission petition. Hearings set for April 24 with a swift decision. Case concerns higher rates on many staples from Atlantic Coast ports to points west of Denver versus the coast to coast through rate. War and Panama Canal slide closures reduced competition between rail and ship lines, petitioners claim, removing justification for any discrimination against interior points. ICC preliminary inquiry found some merit to the claim.
