THE FoUR-POWER TREATY.

Opposition to what is. known as the
four-power treaty negotiated at the
Washington conference already is de-
Veloping in the United States senate.
Leaders among the opponents of the
pact are calling for all the papers in
the case. They demand to know all
that was said regarding it and just
how the agreement was brought
about.
The first treaty completed by the
conference for the limitation of ar
naament was the four-power treaty
which was signed December 10. 1921.
This is the treaty which pledges the
United States, France, the British En-
pire and Japan, in event any contro-
Yersy arises out of any Pacific ques-
ton involving their rights, which can
not satisfactorily be settled by dipIo-
matte negotiations, to call a confer
ence of the four powers for the pur-
pose of discussing the matters at Is
sue.
The preamble of the treaty states
that it applies to "insular possessions
and deminions'' in the regions of the
Pacific ocean. Following the sigma
ture of the treaty question arose as
to whether this included the homeland
OF Japan. President Harding inter
preted the treaty to the contrary. In
order that no controversy might arise
upon this point the four signatory
powers, on February 4, 1922, unani-
mously agreed to a supplement which
excludes the homeland of Japan from
the application of the treaty. The fol-
lowing is the text of the treaty:
Article I. The high contracting
parties agree as between themselves
to respect their rights in relation to
their insular possessions and insu!ar
dominions in the regions of the Pa
cific ocean.
If there should develop between
any of the high contracting parties a
controversy arising out of any Pacific
question and involving their SAID
rights which is not satisfactorily SET
tied by diplomacy ana is likely To af-
feet the harmonious accord now hap
PLY subsisting between them, they
shall invite the high contracting
parties to a joint conference to, which
the whole subject will be referred for
consideration and adjustment.
Article II. If the said rights are
threatened blythe aggressive action of
any other power, the high contracting
parties shall communicate with one
snother fully and frankly in order to
arrive at an understanding as to the
most efficient measures to be taken,
Jointly or separately, to meet the ext
gencies of the particular situation.
Article III. This agreement shall le-
main in force for ten years from the
time it shall take effect, and after the
expiration of said period it shall con-
tinue to be in force subject to the
right of any of the high contracting
parties to terminate it upon twelve
months notice.
Article ". This agreement shall be
ratified as soon as possible in accord
ance with the constitutional methods
IF the high contracting parties and
shall take effect on the deposit of rati-
fications which shall take place at
Washington, and thereupon the agree
ment between Great Britain and Jap
an, which was concluded at London
on July IS, 1911, shall terminate.

Thus it fell out that in almost the
last flourish before the split Hop-Light
stepped upon an apple peel eaFelessly
flung at his feet. From whose hand
none saw, or cared to know, but the
result was deadly. He slipped, stag
gered, tried to find his feet, staggered
again harder, and fell spFawling at
Nell Crabb's feet. Then be sure a roar
went up. Nell, poor dear. had pursued
Hop-Light faithfully ever since she let
down her frocks. Glow Jenkins caught
Hop-Light by one arm, Benny Jordan
by the other; together they yanked
him upright and thrust Neii's hand in
his, crying: Before witnesses you've
knelt to Nelly. Now kiss her and she'll
say yes"
You, too?" John Glover asked in
Benny's ear. She nodded And so there
were pairings at the pairing.

If the question of providing money
to pay a soldier bonus were pending
in Russia or Germany the government
would solve it by starting the printing
presses. Henry Ford probably would
favor similar course here and after
az. why not? 1t will be eentended,
of course. that such initiation of the
currency would upset business. But,
even so, it might be less disturbing
than any Of the other plans that have
been proposed for raising the neces-
sary funds. The country once won a
war on that kind of money.

NEED FOR NEW DUMP
GROUND PRESENTED TO
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
Scavengers May Refuse to
Haul Unless Conditions Are
Better Than They Are Now.

Refuse from homes aud places Of
business in Pendlcton may not be
hauled away much longer by scaven-
gers unless new dump ground is Sc
cured, or conditions at the present
munic pal grounds west of the city are
improved 1t was intimatcd last night
at the meeting of the city council. An
attitude on the part of scaVengers not
to continue in business was reported
by Councilman G. II. Penland after
the attention of the council as to the
condition of the grounds was called
by Councilman Manuel Frledly.
The question of providing the city
with new dump ground has been
bobbing up at intervals for more than
a year now, and it came back las,
night more insistent for n solution
than at any previous times. The pres
ent ground is so well covered With re-
fuse that teams must be driven over
trash that already has been dumped
before place to unload can be Sc
cured, members of the council stated.
A discussion of sites for dump
hat might be available was held by
thc cOlnc linen last n'ght. and some
talk of condemnation proceedings be-
ing brought to secure site was
heard. An investigation is to be made
further an effort TO remedy the
present conditions.
Plans and specifications for i'm
orovement district No. ~ were ad-
opted last night. and an ordinance au-
rhorizing receiving Of bids on paw
uE Bluff, Willow, Aura and Cosb:c
streets on the south side of the city
was adopted. Plans and specifications
FOR improvements on Wilson street be-
tween Madison and Logan streets
were adopted.
\ letter from the state fire marshal
was read in which he commented in
.laudatory terms on the recent build
Ing code which the council considered.
The fire marshal urged that the code
be- adopted.

CITY BUDGET COMMITTEE
TO MEET THIS EVENING

Members of the city budget COM
mittee will have real session tonight
when they meet to recommend a bud
get for 1928 for the city of Pendleton.
At least they will have some real
problems if the meeting of the city
council last night forms any basis for
judgment, because the city dads work
ed until about 1870 o'clock in maxi
ing up their data which will be pre-
sented to the committee tonight.
Because there will be plenty of work
to do Mayor G. A. Hartman has called
the meeting for 1880 o'clock. Ad-
journment may be taken by midnight
but there isn't any assurance that the
committee will have all the wrinkles
irOned out of the proposed budget in
that short a time.
The city should have an income of
sl12,O0O to run its affairs in busi-
ness like manner for 1928, the city
council thinks, and conservative
estimate of income on the present
basis of taxation will be.abnut $95, 900
That leaves $4,000 additional to be
secured If there is to be- an emergency
fund or $4,000. There is an overdraft
of $4,000 to be met which existed at
the beginning of the year.
The budget committee will make
recommendation as to what the bud
get should be at It's meeting to night
it is expected. This recommendation
Of the budget committee as n whole
will then be acted on later by the
council
