TREASURY NOTE DRIVE:
WILL BEGIN APRIL q
New Securities Will Require
Different Advertising Than
Liberty Bonds

Washington, Feb. 20. - The house
ways and means committee met to-
day to draw up the rough draft of a
bill that will introduce new form OF
government securities to the American
public.
With the aid of Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Lefiingwel, the com
mittee expects before the end of this
week to report to tn house the meas
ure authorizing the issue Of seven bill
lion dollars short term notes to be sold
in place of liberty bonds.
The authorization of $1,000, 600, 900
does not mean that the treasury will
attempt to sell that amount of notes,
although it could 90 the limit of the au
thorization if it wished.
The committee wants to get the bill
through congress as quickly as posi-
Bile in order to give the treasury time
to prepare for its "note drive" which
Secretary Glass says will begin April
q. 1t is the opinion of congressman
that the new securities will require a
form of publicity different from that
which helped sell bonds.

Brest, Feb 2O-Brest may not be
the best military base in the world
but is far from the worst, in the opin.
lon of officers and men permanently
stationed here.
An investigation, conducted under
such circumstances as the situation viii
permit, failed to su5stantiate charges
that Brest is a ''pest hole'' or that
the men are victims of mismanagement
1t is true that, in common with much
of western France, there is a super
abundance Of mud, but this is due to
climatic and geological conditions. This
could not be avoided, as Brcst was Sc
lcctcd as base because of strategic
and geographical reasons. Reports OF
shocking food and sanitary conditions
are unfounded, according to the inhab-
itants Of the camp themselves.
Rumors are understood to have been
circulated in the United States that
three thousand American soldiers died
in Brest during September and Octo-
Der Of last year. The facts are, accord-
ing to figures given the correspondent
that from November 1917, when Camp
Pontanezzen- where soldiers are con.
gregated to await transportation home
was established, up to the first of
the present month, there were 1911
deaths from all causes. This includes
the victims of the pneumonia and in
fluenza epidemic during October and
September most Of whom are said to
hav ebecome infected either en- route
here or before they left the United
States. 1t also includes so who died
aboard ship while coming over. These

HIGH SCHOOL BILL
STARTS FIGHT THIS
MORNING IN HOUSE
If Governor Signs Measure,
Tuition OF Students VIII Be
Paid By Their County.

Notwithstanding the fact that toner
row will be the 40th day Of lilo present
Legislature and that it is supposed 10
adjourn, oratory held the house of rep.
resentativcs this morning anu ~. very
little business was accomplished.
The oratorical flights were on Senate
Bill SO, which proposes that counties
shall pay all of the tuition Of its stud
ents who go elsewhere for high school
education. This is Of course where the
student has no high school facilities in
his district.
AS the law now stands, hummer Of
counties pay only $40 of the tuition Of
its students who 60 out of their own
districts for a>high school education and
the pupil the remainder. For instance,
students living in Polk county where
there is no high school in the district,
often come to the Salem high school.
Polk county then pays $40 Of the tut
tion and the pupil $4,000.
In the proposed law and which has
passed both the Senate and House, it rs
provided that the county shall pay all
of this tuition. Where a pupil has no
chance Of attending high school in
his district, the county from which hs
comes will pay all, pronnco the pill is
finally signed by the governor and moth
ing happens to it within three days.
1t is one of the rules of the House that
when bill has passed, any member
voting in the affirmative may have the
privilege Of recalling it.
1t was contended that the bill wolflt
tend to build up the big central high
schools and would be detrimental to
the counties that have but few
schools. As presented by the Senate af-
ter amendments, the bin had the sane
tion of State Superintendent OF schools
Churchill and leading educators Of the
state. 1t was stated that the high school
laws of the state were not what they
should be and never would be as long
as left in the hands Of educators. This
statement was made by an opponent Of
the bill. Mrs. Thompson Of The Dalies,
who is greatly interested in all educa'
tional matters, thought the educators
were the ones best adapted TO settle
the school questions and she also re-

women will not serve on juries in the
state of Oregon yet while as members
OF the House Of Representatives by ,
majority vote decided against the bin
introduced by Mrs. Alexander Inomp,
son of The Dalles.
In her bill, Mrs. Thompson propos'
ed to make it rather optional as ia
whether woman wanted to serve when
summoned for jury duty. If she hap.
pened to be feeling disposed to serve,
she could accept the summons and al.
pear. If not, all that was necessary was
to sign statement that she did not
care to serve and that was the end of it
This was one of the pet measures Of
Mrs. Thompson and it was killed only
by majority of two. The Marion coun,

were Hughes and Martin. Those oppos

ATTACKS LEAGUE OF
NATIONS PROGRAM
Calls It FrightfuI Compact
Which Would Destroy
Our NatiOnaisln
By L. O. Martin

Omitted Press staff correspendent)
Washington, Feb. 2O.-Senate vppo
nents of the league of nations yester
day got their campaign fer its defeat
actively under way.
Senator Poindexter of Washington
delivered long speech to the senate
assailing the league from every angle
Senator Borah, Idaho, wrote former
President Taft, asking whether he and
other advocates Of the league would
agree to amend the league constitution
50 as to definitely protect the Monroe
doctrine.
Senator Cummins, Iowa, forecast the
injection Of the Irish question by pre-
senting resolution urging the United
States to work for Ireland S independ-
ence.
Opponents of the league said today
the discussion probably will continue
daily in the senate in spite of Presi-
dent Wilson s wish that nothing be
said in advance of his personal expla-
nation of the league s constitution.
Fatal Covenant
"A frightful compact, a fatal cove
nant" which will steal away Amcri-
can national sovereignty and make
this nation part of great internation-
al soviet, was the description of the
document given the senate by Poin-
dexter.
Opening discussion of the league,
Poindexter said it marks the. end Of
our traditional policy Of "mind your
own business which we have apn,ed
to ourselves and to other nations alike,
Analyzing the constitution, article
by article, he declared:
That the constitution, as drafted,
proposes world government modelled
along lines of the Russian soviet gov
ernment.
That it is part Of the same interna,
tionalism which the /. w. w. and the
bolshevist is striving for.
That instead OF bringing perpetual
peace, it will SOW dragon $ teeth from
which armed men will spring.
That unless. 1T is submitted to the

al, popular government in the United
