Teachers Tenure Law
Finds Senate Divided;
PoStponement Is Voted

/ With the senate divided about as
evenly as is the Multnomah coun-
ty delegation the teachers tenure
law which has occupied the at
tention of the legislature during
the greater part of the present
session is just as much up in the
air now as ever after the upper
house had devoted the entire morn
ing to a consideration of its var
ious phases.
With the vote on the Staples bill
referring the question to the peo-
pie of Multnomah county fourteen
to sixteen-indicatin failure of
the bill to pass, Senator Moser,
one of the champions of the bill
arose to change his vote to mo"
and to declare his intention of
moving for a reconsideration with
the charge that there had been
certain misstatements advanced in
connection with the consideration TO
the bill which he proposed to ex-
pose.
POstponement Voted
Following the vote on the Staples
bill the senate adopted the Hume
resolution delaying action on the
tenure bill until next session CIV
ing the national education associ-
alton a chance to submit a meas
ure which would be agreeable
both to the teachers and the school
directors.
The question of compulsory
listing of personal property for
taxation purposes will probably
be referred to a vote Of the people
of the state at the next election.
The senate this morning recon-
sidered the vote by which the de-
feated senate bill 115 by vinton
and Ryan covering the assessment
of personal property and the bill
was referred to the committee with
the understanding that 1t be so
as to refer it to the peo-
pie.

AMERICA ASKED TO JOIN

PARIS. oct 7.-CBy The Associated

upon to join with the allied powers
in plans to solve all tho problems
growing out OF ~reparations payment
of the allied debts in a resolution
adopted unanimously by the council Of
the International Chamber OF Com
meroe. which met here today. The
resolution was recommended by the
special finance committee appointed
last June at the annual congress Of
theInternational chamber in London.
Edward A. Frilene of Boston pro-
posed the resolution at the council
meeting.
The resolution points out that mem
bers of the American delegation to the
international chamber had drawn the
attention OF tho council to the fact
the financial and industrial posi-
ton of the world at large was arous-
ing Increasing attention in the Unit
ed States, and that there was a strong

by saying 1T is vital for the

United States to 10 its share to re-
lieve the situation.
Payment of tho allied deb TO the
United States should not be the sub
ject Of any definite conclusions until
after the coming Washington con
ference, according to the members Of
the council and tho special finance
committee which inquired into the fl
nancial position of the allied powers
and its relations to the United States
1t was decided not to discuss the debt
problem at the present meeting. The
financial committee will meet again
in London on October 20, at which
time It Is expected a number OF CON
crete suggestions for funding of the
allied debt will be offered. These
suggestions probably will be held in
allegiance until after the Washington
meeting.
The desire to adjourn discussion OF
the allied debt was due to a feeling
on the part of many members that the
Washington conference may take up
the problem when it disposes of its
fixed agenda. or in a conference of
the powers concerned Immediately fol-
lowing the conference on limitation OF
ornaments. The French and British
delegates to the council of tho inter
national chamber are believed to have
informally expressed the view that the
debtor nations are in no position ser
iously to consider tho debt problem.
although always willing to lei sug-
gestions and plans for eventual pay
ment.
The American members take the
position that payment OF the debts
would be b~asteneded by moro active
participation by the United States in
the effort of the big powers to find
a way out of their respective financial
tangles and this was one of the mo-
lives behind the resolution.
