WASHINGTON, March 2.-The real
fight over the armament conference
treaty was in fun swing today in the
Senate.
The four-pOwer Pacific treaty stared
Administration leaders in the face as the
crucial test Of their ability to secure the
Senate's Endorsement Of all decisions
reached by the conference.
They anticipated z long bitter struggle,
with a flood Of proposed reservations,
which would PUT their tactical resources
TO a severe test But they said that
with the assistance Of Senator Under
wood, the Democratic leader, they en-
tertained no doubt that the ultimate re-
suit would be ratification.
By first pursuing the line Of the most
resistance Senator Lodge said that once
the Pacific pact was ratified. he was con-
ident a favorable disposition Of the
other treaties would be a comparatively
easy task.
The little group Of Republican and
Democratic ''irreCOnciIablesr lined up
against the treaty admitted that unless
debate developed considerably more OPP
position, they were not hopeful Of pre-
venting its ratification. Senator Pat Har-
rison Of Mississippi, was among the
Democratic Senators rejecting the Leag
Of Nations views Of former President
Wilson, who expressed the opinion the
vote on the Zap treaty was not a criterion
Of what might be expected TO happen to
the Pacific pact

Play Presented at Lexing-
ton Was Decided Success

The play, "A Prairie Rose" pre-
sented by the young peoples class
of the Congregational Sunday school
at Lexington on last Thursday eve
ming was a decided success is every
way. There was a large audience
in spite of the cold and snow storm.
The attention of the audience was
held for two and half hours of the
play in a manner that proved each
character was perfectly sustained
Many times the players were forced
to wait until the audience could sup
press their laughter before they
could proceed.
Uncle Sile" was the special fav-
orite both in his irresistible myrth,
and in his pathetic love for little
Rosie" :"
The people were so well pleased
with the entire performance that they
have called for the presentation of
the play again, and formal request
was presented to the cast to this ef-
feet. The play will therefore be put
on again as requested at the High
school auditorium in Lexington on
FRIDAY evening, March II.

Miss Gillian, Treasurer of
Umatilla County, Resigns

Miss Grace Gillian, for the past
FIVE years treasurer Of Umatilla coun-
ty, will formally resign her position
on Wednesday to accept a business
position in Pasadena, California, and
will recommend as her successor, c.
K Cranston, public accountant, and
former secretary of the Pendleton
commercial association. Announce
ment to this effect was made by Miss
Gillian this morning.
Miss Gilliam's successor will be
named by the county court and it is
thought that the appointment will be
made at once. As county treasurer,
Miss Gillian has been commended
by the public for her work. Prior
to the time she went into Office, the
work was done by two people, but
she has managed the Office practical
" alone, employing an assistant only
occasionally. Since first taking the
position, the work of the treasurer
has doubled.-EaSt Oregonian.

AID To FARMERS
IS STILL DELAYED

E. M. Hulden, extensive famer of
Blackhorse, has returned from Port
land where he has been spending the
past two months, and is again look
ing after the affairs of his farm.
Mr.. Hulden was appointed to rep
resent the Morrow County Farm Bu-
reau organization in an effort that
was being put forth to get aid for
cur farmers and stockmen from the
War Finance board. Going to Port
land, Mr.. Hulden has been quite
busy during the past two months,
working in conjunction with DR.. c.
!. Smith, who is an extensive land
owner of Eastern Oregon, S. F. Will
son, and Mr.. Jewett of the Grain
Growers association.
DR.. Smith was sent to Washington
to interview the War Finance board,
and he offered them as security for
any loans they might make, liens on
crops and sheep. This plan did not
appeal to the board, however, and
DR.. Smith was instructed to return
and proceed with the formation of a
corporation to handle the funds that
might be loaned, the suggestion in
Guiding the territory of the states of
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tsna and the northern part of Calf
ornia, and before this work was fair
ly under way the War Finance board
reversed themselves, and the matter
was left in as unsettled condition as
at the beginning.
Mr. Hulden states that negotiations
are being carried on, however, with
some encouragement, but it seems to
be well settled that the people at
Washington do not want to take Sc
curity on crops alone and the plans
presented would imply that the loans
should run for a longer period than
our people desire. 1t is felt that by
being helped over the present year,
our farmers and stockmen can then
return to the local financial institu-
tions and be carried as heretofore.
The help is therefore of a temporary
nature, and the recovery of the farm
and stock business of this section
will not require that our people be
tied up to the War Finance board
for a longer period than one year.

LOWER SHEEP ASSESSMENTS.

That county assessors in Oregon
will fall into line with hte sugges-
ton of the Oregon Wool Growers as
sociaton which is to the effect that
valuations for the sheep owned in
the state be kept at a uniform basis
in the different counties, is the be-
lief of Mac Hoke, secretary of the
association. The local man has re-
ceived replies from letters he sent
to the assessors of Crook, Malheur
and Sherman counties. This trio of
assessors declare their readiness to
keep the valuation of sheep within
the limit Of between three and four
dollars a head suggested by the as
sociation. Last year there was a
great difference in the assessed val
uation of sheep in the different coun-
ties, the valuations ranging from
three to seven dollars in different
counties. Other counties are expect
ed to fall into line on the stabilizing
Of values.-East Oregonian.

ANOTHER MORROW
PIONEER PASSES

After several weeks illness Mrs. ].
c. White passed away at the home of
her daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Claude White, early Saturday
morning, February Is. Funeral SER
vices we're conducted Sunday after
noon at the Church of Christ of Lex
ington by the minister, Arthur A.
Hartman. A large number were
present at the services and many
beautiful floral offerings were brought
by friends. Mrs. White had been a
faithful Christian Of the Church of
Christ for ffy-ive years. Her many
friends and relatives will greatly miss
her.
Mrs. White minerva Moore) was
born in Missouri, December If, l846
and was married to Jesse c. White
on May "a, 1868 To them were
born II children, nine Of wnom are
now living. Namely: John B. and
Mrs. Ada Estes, of Portland; James
NJ. and Frank Of Missouri; Will of
Drain, Oregon; Truman, Lee, Mrs.
Joe Sibley, and Mrs. Claude White
of Lexington. Mr.. and Mrs. White
first came to Morrow county in Aug
ust of 1900 and settled on a farm
about six miles from Lexington. They
lived there for about six years after
which they spent a number of years
in Portland and Drain, Ore. They
made a trip back to Missouri before
finally returning to Lexington, where
they lived for about two years, or
until the death Of Mr.. White on July
/, 1921, and of Mrs. White in Feb
ruary.
Mr.. White, or rather Elder J. C.
White, was pioneer minister Of the
Church of Christ as we'll as farmer.
He received his Bible education at
Columbia college, Mountain Home,
Arkansas. After his education he
held several pastorates and several
meetings and also a number Of de-
bates on religious themes. While
in Morrow county he preached at the
Eight Mile school house, the Straw
berry school house, and many other
places as well as at Lexington. He
was a thorough student of the Bible
as well as sound true Christian
man. He was the author of an i'm
portant tract entitled, "The Immortal
Principle in Man. The Church of
Christ and the whole community lost
two faithful and true workers when
Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. White were taken
home to be with the Lord.-A. A. H.

John Day District
Wins Levy Dispute

The John Day Irrigation district has
authority to levy an assessment Of so
cents an acre on the lands held by the
Northwestern Improvement comp
any.
This was the substance Of an opin.
ion handed down BY Federal Judge
Bean this morning in dismisSing the
case Of the Northwestern Improve
ment company against the John Day
Irrigation district and Morrow coun-
Y. The Improvement company
sought to restrain the district from
levying the assessment.
The Improvement company held
that a clause in the law, passed by
the 1917 legislature, providing for
the levying of taxes on lands in the
district, was violation Of both the
state and federal constitutions, This
claim was held uniustified by Judge
Bean. Mondays Telegram.

Of its property, while there is no re-
striction as to the amount Of earn
ings Of the latter. Further, private
enterprises may make higher rate
of return during one year than pub
lie utility would be permitted to earn
in many years. If utility is to be
held down to a fair and reasonable
return, does it not stand to reason
that its earnings should be held up
to that standard when neither in law
moi equity can this commission per-
nit utility to require its patrons
one year to pay sufficient rates to
make up deficits occurring during
another year?
The statement that decline in
rates might reasonably be expected
with the general tall of prices is
correct, provided rates previously ad-
vanced with advancing costs. This
utility went through the war period
without any increase in rates, and,
as the record shows, at a great loss
to the company, wages having ad-
vanced 100000 per annum. Furth-
or. this commissions order was con-
tingent upon the expenditure of FIVE
millions of dollars of new capital in
this state. Approximately one-half
million has already been expended
in new plant to take care of the
growing needs of many communities.
This new money is not received from
the increased rates, as is commonly
supposed, for that would be mani
feStly unfair to the public, but is en-
tirely new capital which comes from
without the state.
Under my oath of Office as public
official | must be governed by prin-
ciples of equity and justice.
