Smith Seeks To
Kill Limitation
On State Taxes

The sky will be the limit on flu
ture state tax levies in Oregon if a
joint resolution introduced into the
senate by Senator Smith finally
finds it's way onto the statute
books.
The resolution proposes the re-
peal of section IL of Article eleven
of the constitution-the six percent
Limitation. Approval by the people
at an election would be necessary
20 the final enactment of the re
peal even if it finds it's way thru
the two branches of the legisla-
ture.
Another resolution introduced
by Senator Smith provides that no
special levy now operative or here
after authorized shall be operative
for period of more than two
years. This would also require &C
tion by the voters.

World Ready
Disarl1l Is
Idea of Bliss
Response To Invita-
tion To Consider
Disarmament Would
Be Prompt, Claim

Washington, Jan. 12.-Should
the United States call upon the ma
tions of the world for "a full, free
and fair discussion of reduction
of ornaments, the favorable re-
sponse would be prompt and in
evitable," the house naval COM
mittee was told today by General
Tasker H. Bliss, former American
representative on the supreme war
council at Paris.
The nation that would come to
such a conference and refuse to
agree to any proposition looking
to disarmament or at least a re-
duction of it's military establish
ment," said General Bliss, could
be written down as the next Ger
many and the United States could
make It's plans accordingly"
Strain to Heavy
General Bliss preceded Secre-
tary Daniels who appeared again
to give the committee detailed in
formation regarding the relative
naval strength of the great pow
ers
Our present form of civiliza-
tion cannot stand the great strain
of military preparation much long
err General Bliss declared. "The
world war was a terrific strain on
civilization. The next war will be
very much worse"
General Bliss said he had dis
cussed disarmament "in a general
way and incident to other mat
ters' with Marshal Foch and high
British military leaders.
Did YOU ever talk it over with
any of Japan's or Italy's officials p
asked Chairman Butler.
Would not Lead
Il believe l did with italian rep
resentatives, of course the subject
only came up at that time Incl
dentally.
IF it We're left to me would
not disarm an American soldier
nor lay up an American ship un-
til all the great powers had reach
ed an agreement" declared the
general.
If such a conference were 70
be held and if the secretary were
to make public every day an alb
stract of the propositions put for
ward and the arguments for and
against, with the names of the ma
tional representatives who made
them, the common people of the
world would not allow the confer
ence to dissolve until at least the
first step forward had been taken
= do not care what the sabi-
nets of the world think, the mass

klamath Falls
Bank Closed by
State Examiner

The First State Bank OF klamath
Falls was ordered closed temporaF-
lily by state superintendent of
owing to depletion of reserves
caused by heavy Withdrawals of de-
posits during recent months The
bank has a capital of $I0O, G0ey n
reserve of 100000 and deposits to-
falling $1,25O,OOO. Bank EsxamiYS-
er Hooper is in charge of the iElsti-
tuition.
Captain j. w, Siemans, president
and principal stockholder i'm the
bank, a pioneer capitalist and de-
veloper of the klamath country liz
in Portland arranging for a re0r-
ganization of the institution and an
early resumptio of business is ex-
pected. Other klamath banks are
not affected.
The cause of the closing is due
to Withdrawals of 100000 depOs-
its since November IS. following
the slump in the lumber industry
and the collapse of the Klamath
Falls boom based upon it's phe-
nominal development. During this
period loans have been curtaiIed
but $4,000 and the reserve fell
below state requirements.
A quarrel among stockholders,
who contracted to sell their hold
ings to affect a merger of Klamath
banks, complicated the situation. a
suit having been filed to enforce
the contract.
State Superintendent of Banks
Bramwell statedt oday that the ac-
tual condition of the bank would
not be known until examination
now in progress was completed. but
that there was every Indication
that a resumption of business
would be possible shortly.
