Money Spent
On School Too
Much Says Kay

That educational institutions
are receiving too much money and
that steps should be taken to cut
out all unnecessary expense OF
schools in order TO reduce the bur
den of the taxpayers Of the state,
was the seRtiment expressed by
Thomas b. Kay, representative OF
Marion county in the lower house
of the legislature, this noon In a
short talk at the Rotary club
luncheon at the Marion hotel.
Mr.. Kay stated that In voting
the millage tax for the state and
thus providing a fund OF $1,000
0O0 for educational purposes the
people had taken the responsible
lty OF making the taxes OF the
state higher and the legislature
was not to blame.

FOR
FLAX MEN
NOW READY
Olcott Signs Bill Ap-
propriating $780, 900
To Pay Warrants In
Hands of Farmers

Thirty thousand dollars of state
money for the payment OF claims
of Willamette valley farmers
against the state prison flax plant
became available this morning up
on signature of house bill 26 by
Governor Olcott. This amount to-
gether with insurance collected
upon damage to the flax plant by
the recent fire, it is stated, will be
sufficient to cover claims against
the plant aggregating $4,000
covering flax delivered by farm
ers during the past year. Inabil-
ity of the plant to dispose OF It's
finished product because OF de-
preston in the flax market made
it impossible to pay for the new
crop and farmers who have claims
against the flax plant have been
clamoring for their money to meet
personal obligations. The appro-
priation of 100000 was made with
the understanding that it was to
be regarded merely as loan to be
repaid with the first monies avail
able from the sale of flax now on
hand at the prison plant.

spot in western America"
The raiders, led by state prohi-
bition Director Carl Jackson, with
forty deputies arrived here in a
special car, Immediately starting
out in couples. 1t was but a few
minutes before they began re-
turning to the car with prisoners
and confiscated liquor. AS fast as
the liquor was seized it was test
ed by F. B. Strebling. chemist
of Denver, in a complete labora-
tory testing outfit with which the
special car was equipped.

GAS BILLS
PASSED
TO OLCOTT
Unsigned Measures To
Stay Put In Govern
or's Office Until
Signed, Belief

House joint resolution number
three and house bill twenty-five
involving an amendment to the
state constitution validating the
sales tax on gasoline and provid-
ing for the financing of the 1925
exposition through this tax, will
be sent to Governor OIcott today
minus the signatures of the presi-
dent of the senate and the speaker
of the house.
While the governor refuses to
commit himself as to what atti-
tude he will take toward the
'fatherless twins speculation has
it that he will regard them as in
complete without the signatures of
the presiding officers of the two
legislative branches and refuse to
receive them.
In this event, then, it will be
up to the fair proponents to insti-
tute mandamus proceedings to
compel the president of the senate
and speaker of the house to sign
the measure or the governor to ac-
cept them and pass them on to
the secretary of state as completed
measures without these sigma
lures.
Omission of the senate amend
ment to the gasoline bill from the
enrolled bill, discovery of which
was made Monday by the clerks OF
the house and senate, is explained
as due to the confusion of the
eleventh. rush which char
acterized the closing hours of the
special session The bill with its
amendment was sent directly to
the desk by the committee on
roads and highways, no time being
taken in the rush of closing to
send the amendment to the senate
engrossing committee as is the
usual procedure. All rules ordi-
narily surrounding the eonsidera-
tion of measures in the legislature
were suspended in the interest of
expediency and the bill was placed
on third reading and final pass
age. 1t was then sent over to the
house for concurrence in the SEN
ate amendments with note to the
effect that the senate amendments
had not been engrossed. This note
was overlooked by the house
clerks until Tuesday when they
were going over the odds and ends
of the session in a more deliberate
manner than was possible under
the confusion which reigned Sat
urday.
However, the measure was still
in possession of the house wher
the omission was discovered and
the oversight is being corrected
this morning preparatory to trans
mission of the bill, along with the
house resolution providing for the
constitutional amendment to the
governor.

doned by Conference


Washington, Dec 2s.--l lBy AS
sociated Pressl Hope for an
agreement to limit submarine tons
mage was declared to have been
abandoned today at the meeting
Of the armament naval commit-
tee.
A demand by France for
minimum submarine tonnage Of
ninety thousand tons was declar-
ed by delegates to have closed the
door to any agreement, the Amer
lean compromise proposal having
been rejected finally and COM
pletely by the French
Casting aside the possibility OK
harmonizing views on submarine
tonnage the American delegation
brought forth new proposal to
limit the size OF submarines and
other auxiliary craft to max
imum Of 10000 tons.
Negotiations Closed.
The presentation or the French
view point, based on calculations
OF her naval experts and REIN
forced by approval Of the French
cabinet meeting yesterday In
Pars, was followed BY lengthy dis
c,issions, the committee adjourn
Ing the session after two hours
debate to meet again at 8 D. clock.

to pare down her claims was

say that France. after consulta-
tion Of her highest naval experts
and after the decision reported as
having been reached yesterday
by the council Of ministers cam
not possibly IN any way reduce
the ratio OF submarines which she
considers indispensable for her
safety.
French Figure High
Admiral De Bon, in outlining
last week the needs Of France for
protection OF her coasts, colonies
and maritime communications,
gave the approximate estimate ot
10000 tons. The American cons
promise proposal contempIates
that France maintain her existing
submarine strength amounting to
about $1,000 tons.
Decision Final
| Albert Sarrtut, head Of the
French delegation, 1t was under
stood, presented with an air or
finality the declaration that
France could not accept less than
$4,000 tons of auxiliary tom
mage, in addition to submarine
tonnage of 10000. The Amer
ican compromise proposal would
have given France about $1,000
tons OF submarines.
The British and Japanese dele-
cations are understood to have
stated that, in view Of the French
stand on submarines. they would
both feel compelled to reserve
action on the tonnage ratio for
auxiliary craft allotted Great
Britain and Japan under the
American plan.
Regrets Voiced
Italian spokesmen following
presentation of the French de-
mand, 1t was said, expressed regret
that France had not seen its way
clear to accept smaller tonnage,
and Japan, also through her dele
cation spokesmen declared that

to something which Japan could
J not hope to sanction under the
