FAIR PLAY Is ASKED
IN DUTCH OIL FIELD
American Note to Netherlands
Government Bases Protest
on Reciprocity.
POINT TO EQUALITY HERE
Law Allowing Aliens to Own
Stock in Dutch East Indian
Properties Elusive.

WASHINGTON, June ia paraphrase
of the note of May 81 of the American
Government to the Netherlands protest
ing the policy of that Government with
respect to the exploitation of the Djambi
oil fields of the Dutch East Indies was
made public at the State Department
tonight. 1t does not vary substantially
from previously published summaries of
the communication.
Addressed to the Netherlands Foreign
Office through the American Legation at
The Hague, the note expressed the hope
that the Dutch Government would yet
find itself able to settle the question in
mental principle of reciprocity which is
regarded as one of the greatest i'm
portance in relation TO the exploitation
Of natural resources.
Referring to the bill recently passed
by the second Chamber of Parliament
at The Hague closing the Djambi fields
the note said that although the law
appears to allow aliens to own stock
ment OF oil lands in the Dutch East
Indies, the execution of the law, as
stipulated by the proposed legislation
under discussion, can only be regarded
as indicating that the Netherlands Gov
eminent at present purposes to ex-
clude citizens of the United States
from any participation of substantial
character in its mineral oil industry,
and, accordingly to prevent American
citizens from enjoying the equality of
opportunity which citizens of the
Netherlands have enjoyed in this
country
The conversations and negotiations
conducted at The Hague by William
Phillips. the American Minister, were
reviewed to show that the position of
the American Government had been
well known for n year and on two sepa-
rate occasions American companies had
applied for concessions in the field In
question long before the exclusion bill
had reached a vote in the second Cham
Der.
Accordingly the note said. "the
legation was instructed to state that
the United States Government finds 1t
impossible to regard the applications of
COMPANIES Ut It's OWL
sions OF interest in the matter as having
been communicated too late TO the Gov
eminent Of the Netherlands"
Referring to the concession granted
the Bataafsche Petroleum Company IN
the Djambi fields, the note said 1t had
understood that only provisional deci-
sions had been reached in the matter. as
the oil concession bill made no reference
to any earlier engagements which the
Dutch Government had formed with that
company. The legislation. it added, was
understood to provide for n new COM
pany. to be known as the Netherland
Indies Mineral Oil Company. to which
would be turned over operation OF the
concession for the oil lands.
The note of the American Government
has not as yet been replied to by the
Netherlands Government. Minister Phil
lips, II has been announced. will sail
from The Hague on July for n visit TO
this country. but 1t is stated that his
visit in no way concerns the oil con-
troversy.

TOBACCO CRISIS FEARED.
Cubans See No Hope I'm British Tax
Suspension.

HAVANA, June IL. - Cuban tobacco
planters say that the suspension by
Great Britain of It's extra 80 per cent.
tax on tobacco imports will give little
help in the present crisis faced by the
Cuban tobacco industry.
In n recent meeting OF planters IL
was stated that the British dealers had
stocked up heavily and would require
little tobacco for some time. The
pls nters also stated that their efforts TO
induce the tobacco workers declarations
TO accept reduced wage scales go that
Cuban tobacco could be put on the mar
ket at reduced prices had resulted in so
slight reduction of wages that 1t was
considered useless.

CAR IS STOLEN FROM
DEALER; OWNER SUES
AND IS GIVEN $500

The owner, of Ford automobile
left his car with an automobile
dealer, who was to examine and ap-
praise it, and determine what amount
could be allowed as a credit in part
payment on a new motor car the
owner was thinking of buying from
the dealer. The appraiser took the
machine, ran it into tie central part
of the city of Los Angeles, and left
it at the curb while he went into the
building to interview person who
contemplated buying car Of similar
style and equipment. On his return,
five or six minutes later, the APP
praiser found that the car had been
stolen.
The car owner sued the dealer be-
cause Of the loss Of his car and was
awarded $500. The California dis
trict court of appeal, second district.
affirmed the judgment in Chastek v,
Albertson, 1911. Pacific Reporter, 371.
In discussing the degree of care re-
quired under the circumstances
Judge James said:
Appellants contend that the ball
ment was gratuitous; hence that q
slight degree of care only was re-
qquired of them; and that the EVIL
dence did not show that they were
guilty of gross negligence. The court
determined that the baiiment was
for the mutual benefit of Chastek and
defendants, and hence ordinary care
was required to be exercised by the
latter in protecting Chastek's prop
erty. We agree that this conclusion
was the correct one to be drawn"

CATTLE FATTEN ON
SUNFLOWER SILAGE

CALGARY, Alta, July 25.--ln
series Of remarkable tests, experts OF
the University Of Alberta are work
ing out new menus for beef and dairy
cattle that promise to revolutionize
livestock feeding and save millions to
breeders and farmers. When the
tests are completed it will have been
determined precisely the type OF silage,
grain or hay that will bring best re-
suits from poor, medium and good
types of cattle.
There are 10 different sets, each
comprising different types OF animals.
Each set is under specific diet. So
far those subjected to sunflower feed
ing have made the most pronounced
gains. Use of sunfiowers for silage
is of recent origin. Immense areas
will be planted this year. The nutri-
tive value, according to the university
experts, is equal to that OF corn fod-
der.

it is being done at an engineering and
overhead cost of s per cent, which IS
about half the average of such costs
on such work in other states of the
Union. 1t is useless, of course, to
point out that a highway system is
essential and of immeasurable value
to the state.
Taxation Paramount Problem
The paramount problem before the
State of Washington is taxation. The
burden lies heavy on all and must be
lightened To that end this admin
istration has devoted it's energy and
will continue to do SO despite all OBJ
stacles. So effectively have We
worked that a total of more than
S1,700,000 has been saved the tax
payers thus far and the deficit of
S2,750,000 will be wiped out before
the end of this biennium. Needless
to say, have no apology to make for
this condition.
This saving can be attributed N
large measure to the enactment of
the state administrative code. Some
Is months ago l outlined before the
Spokane Bar Association my idea of
this code, and I am glad to lay before
the State Bar Association at this tine
brief review of four months oper-
alton under the code.
When the code had been passed by
the almost unanimous vote of the leg
islature and the emergency clause
had been upheld by the supreme
court, the appropriation committee of
the legislature cut from the appro-
priation bill items Of administrative
expense aggregating 100000. This
represents the initial saving the code
made for the state and the taxpayers
In addition, vetoed items in the
appropriation bill amounting to 81 !.
100000. I regretted to veto some OF
these items but necessity demanded
it, and l am willing to stand on those
vetoes
Code Working Four Months
The code has been in Operat' on less
than four months. From the time oil
it's final enactment until the date OF
its Inauguration less than month
remained in which to reorganize ant
rearrange the entire administrat' w
forces of the state. Directors hat

EXPERT ADVOCATES
HEALTH REGISTRATION
BY CARL DE GROAT

BERLIN, July 23.-To make the
world safe for posterity, DR.. Max
Hirsch, noted Berlin sex specialist,
would establish a system Of health
registrations" These registrations
would be carefully kept from child
hood on, and would be available to
MARRIAGE candidates upon mutual
agreement.
According to Hirsch's theory. this
would have a tendency to check the
social diseases, and while he would
not link it with any law against
marriage, he believes that it would
operate to reduce undesirable ILL
mated marriages.
He points out that marriage is not
merely an ethical alliance, but that
propagation of the race must be con-
sidered Should card index system
of all persons be maintained both
men and women would see to it more
carefully that they came to the altar
fit for such ceremony.
But, as matters now stand, DR..
Hirsch estimates that half of all
childlessness is traceable to disease
unconsciously contracted by the wife
from a husband who had earlier sown
his wild oats. Likewise, he figures
that of the $4,000 blind in Germany,
about 80 per cent lost their sight
through infection at birth. The cost
of maintaining these blind is $4,000
900 marks yearly.
Under his system which has found
many professional supporters a vast
reduction in such cases would occur,
he figures and marriage candidates
would see to it in advance, that there

GOVERNOR HART ANSWERS CRITICS.
IN SPEECH TO BAR CONVENTION
Claims Newspaper Attacks Arise from Disappointment
Over Distribution Of Patronage and Not Malad-
ministration Under Civil Code

Taking the stand that his neglect
OF patronage, and not maladministra-
ton under the civil code, was the
cause of the newspaper attacks levied
against his administration, Governor
Louis F. Hart, in an address deliv-
cred this morning before the con-
vention Of the Washington State Bar
association, fought back on nearly
every charge in detail with the sole
exception Of the matter relating to
Christmas cards wherein he admitted
there might be justififiable cause for
criticism. His speech in full was as
follows:
The state of Washington is a big
corporation. Its directors are the
people; those in official authority
merely Their agents. If, as one of
those agents, I could summarize
briefly what this administration has
done Of benefit to the people, should
say that the really important things,
the things that count, are as follows
This administration has devised a
plan whereby the $4,000 depos;tols
OF the defunct Scandinavian American
Bank of Seattle will recover their
$12, 100000 deposits and still leave
the state guaranty fund intact. / am
happy to say that the plan I origi-
mated in this matter was adopted by
the guaranty fund banks, and still
happier to. feel that these thousands
of deposxors will receive their money
