Realty Men
Hear Morals
Discussed

That the pertinent question of
every easterner looking toward the
west for possible location embodies
inquiries as to moral conditions on
the Pacific coast was the state
ment OF s. NJ. Taylor, government
psychologist and local manager OF
the White chautauqua,
speaking before the Marion Coun-
ty Realtors association.
Mr.. Taylor stated that bg doing
away with the restricted districts
in different cities the young boys
and girls OF the community have
been subjected to dangers rever
before experienced. and that by
the prohibition of such places the
women prostitutes were now
spread throughout the entire resi-
dence district OF every town. He
cited an incident Of his own OBJ
servation in Seattle where 72 girls
had been accosted on the street
near Yesler Way within an hour
and a half. Regarding local con
ditions Mr.. Taylor had little to say
other than prostitution existed.
The realty board voted TO send
back all listings which have been
mailed into the central office by
property owners with a list Of the
members OF the organization.

To
AbidebyA Allies
Silesian Acts

London, July 28-Germany will
abide by the decision OF the allied
supreme council relative to the
question of the transportation Of a
French division against Germany
to reinforce the French troops in
Upper Silesia. according to infor-
nation available here today.
The German foreign minister
DR.. Rosen, informed the French
ambassador in Berlin last to this
effect in a note.
London, July 2s.-The latest
French communication insisting
that more troops be sent into Up
per Silesia Immediately is under
stood to have been the subject OF
an important conference this
morning at which Premier LLOYD
George, the dominion premiers and
several cabinet members were
present.
1t is understood Lord Curzon,
foreign minister, will send a reply
to Premier BRAND, reaffirming the
view that the situation in Upper
Silesia does not justify the send
ing of more troops at the nom ent
and urging the desirability of a
meeting of the supreme council at
an early date to deal with the Ie-
port Of the allied commissioners in
Silesia.
The French government, in its
communication last night, said 1t
deemed 1t impossible to decide on
a meeting of the allied supreme
council until the question OF send
ing reinforcements into Upper ST.
lesia had been decided.

Harvesto of
Flax Crop
AT Height
Fifty Per Cent AL
ready Pulled or Cut;
Most Of Product Is
Under Thirty Inches

With approximately so per cent
of the Oregon flax crop pulled or
cut and over 200 tons already in
the state warehouse. at the peni-
tentiary, the years harvest is now
at its height. Between $50 and
200 pullers are at present working
in the flax fields, according to an
estimate of Robert Crawford, SUI
perintendent of the penitentiary
and director 0: the flax industry
here.
Only about 40 per cent of the
crop is being pulled, the remand
er being cut ami .ra"eG like hav.
Two growers of the eati-e number
have cut their crops with a binder.
Stipulations in the st tie contract
call for the pulled prodIct to he at
least 80 inches in lengtn and due
to the poor season the majority Of
the crop comes under the require
ments>of the first class product.
Pulled flax brings $50 ton,
bound flax $40 ton. and the loose
flax $25 a ton. The latter grade
is made in tow for the cheaper
grades of linen used in crash tow
els and similar goods and for mp
holstering materials.
No trouble has been experienced
in getting enough lahor to pull the
crop. The majority of pullers ar.
inexperienced and pull one-fifth or
less of an acre a day, but several
old hands are pulling between one
fourth and one-third of an acre,
according to the reports OF grow
ers. The price offered for labor is
$40 an acre.
The first batch of flax has gone
in the recently completed retting
tank at the penitentiary and yes
terday the temperature was
brought up to the proper point for
the first time. The new tank has
a capacity of 20 tons, but the pres
ent load is only 16 tons.

Decision In
Is Days on
Polk Road

Though arguments in the Polk
county road controversy were com
pleted yesterday afternoon it will
be at least 15 days before any de-
cision is made by Judge Percy
Kelly of the circuit court because
of the time granted attorneys for
both sides in which to file briefs.
That the action of the Polk
county court in turning over $43.-
600 which was authorized By the
people of that county to the state
highway commission for the build
ing of market roads was unconsti-
tutional was one of the points
brought out in the arguments of
Martin l.. Pipes, representing the
people of Independence at the
hearing yesterday afternoon. Nr.
Pipes held that such funds must
be under the control Of the coun-
ty court,
He further held that the 1921
law passed by the legislature per-
hitting the state highway commits
sion to make changes in the route
is unconstitutional because OF the
failure of the law to refer to this
section of the act which it amends.
Further points made by Pipes was
that in borrowing $4,000 from
the state highway commission by
the Polk county court for the road
program, the county had exceeded
the $1,000 limitation. Attorneys
for the state highway commission
contend that the loan did not ex-
ceed the Limitation for the reason
that it did not exceed the potential
tax resources of the county.

his views regarding the extent to
which the United States had been

Short Time Loans Only.
The government was committed,
he said, to postponement OF inter

payments contingent upon such

ceed, satisfactory funding Of ex-

Acceptance of German Bonds.
Regarding acceptance OF Ger
man bonds, the secretary referred
to certain negotiations at the Par
is peace conference where repre-
sentatives of Great Britain, France
and the United States recommend
ed the acceptance of German repa-
ration bonds in payment of loans
made by the three countries to
Belgium prior to November IL,
1918. This agreement has been
before the senate since February
20, 1921, and no action has teen
taken on it, he said.
Mr.. Mellon suggested that 1t
might be impossible to provide la
subsequent negotiations for the
payment of the deferred interest
and the payment Of interest upon
interest by increasing interest
rates OF the bonds to be issued fy
the debtor country in substitution
for the securities now helj. This
plan, he said, met with the approx
al of the president and the in
creased interest rate would prob
ably facilitate marketing Of the
