WAY IS CLEARED FOR
TREATY DISCUSSIONS
Pacific Treaty Is Fayorably
Reported BY Foreign Re-
lat ons Committee.

Washington, d. C.-Finally accept
ing a compromise reservation pro-
gramme, the foreign relations COM
mittee cleared the way for transfer
of the arms conference treaty debate
to the open senate.
The four-power Pacific treaty, which
has proved the most troublesome of
the arms conference agreements in
committee discussions, was ordered
favorably reported with blanket res
ervation drawn by committee mem
bers after consultation with President
Harding.
At the same time, the committee
acted favorably on the naval limita-
tion and submarine treaties, voting
virtually without debate and with the
understanding that members could
further present their views on the
senate floor.
In reporting favorably the four
power Pacific treaty the foreign rela-
tions committee divided, 10 to 8, with
Senators Borah, republican, Idaho;
Johnson, republican, California, and
Shields, democrat, Tennessee, voting
in the negative. All the other eight
republican members supported the
motion and were joined by two demo
Gratis, Williams, Mississippi, and Pom.
creme, Ohio.
By the same vote, 10 to 8, but with
Senators Williams, Pomerene and
Kellogg, republican, Minnesota, cast
ing the negative votes, the committee
previously had accepted the comprom
ise reservation said to have been ae
cepted by President Harding and pro
lviding that the treaty contemplate.
''no commitment to armed force, nj
alliance, no obligation to join in an!
defense" Several proposed substi
tutes and amendments, were vote'
down.
In the senate the four-power treat
alone apparently faces a prolonge
debate. Several proposed reservation
not considered by the committee ar
to be offered and Senators Borah an
Johnson, among others. are attempt
ing to organize an ''irreconcilable" bio
against ratification. Whether this ele
ment becomes numerically strong |
conceded to rest principally with tn
democrats, who are followers of form
ar President Wilson.

Senator Capper Will
Lead the Farm Bloc

Senator Capper of Kansas, the new
chairman of the bloc SAYS the bloc's
next task is Go put through congress
a great national permanent prosga.a
on farm welfare
"The bloc, formed as tempor-
ary organization to meet an emer-
gency, now enters the second phase
of its life" said Capper. 'Its work
from now on will be to build per-
manently. Our program Of emergen-
cy legislation is about completed.
Statesmen and economists have
come to realize that it is not enough
to pull the farmer out of the hole;
he must be set on firm ground and
helped to go forward. That is the
bloc's job now. 1t is not selfish
job, for what benefits agriculture
benefits the whole country"
The bloc's program of permanent
agriculture legislation has not been
worked out fully. The program, as it
stands, is:
One-A rural credits bill, setting
up additional machinery for "person-
al" credit for farmers. This is to
bridge the gap between 60 and. 80 day
paper and long term farm mortgage
loans.
Two-Enlargement of farm bank
system to make it Of greater aid to
farmers in the acquiring and i'm
provement of land.
Three-Transportation. This in
wolves wrestling with the great rail-
road problem, the increasing of. tran
sportation facilities where possible
through inland waterways.
Four--The truth in fabrics bill
This is to force shoddy to be spelled
"shoddy' and wool as "wool," SO that
both the producer and the consumer
may be protected.
There are other measures and many
details to be worked out. Capper
said.
The rural credits bill is already in
congress. The bloc shortly will form.
ally get behind the Lenroot-Andersor
bill, worked out by the joint house
and senate agricultural committee
Governor Harding of the federal re.
serve board has given this measure
his approval.
"The farmer and the stockman,
said Capper, "has to deal with
banking system devised primarily tt
meet the needs of commerce. Thest
usually can be satisfied with shor
time paper. The farmer has on
turn over year at most, whereas
the business has many. The stock
man may have one in only two o.
three years. They need system tina
will help them. That is what we vii
try to work out.
"The question of credits is a fun
damental of any big national farr
policy such as the bloc hopes to pu
through.

HARDING DISCLOSES
PLAN TO AID SHIPS
Program Contemplates Return
to Private Initiative and
Enterprise.

Washington, D. C.-The administra-
tion plan for government aid for the
American merchant marine was pre-
scented to congress Tuesday by Presi-
dent Harding with the declaration that
the influence of the United States In
world councils is "sure to be measured
by that unfailing standard which is
found in a nations merchant marine"
The president detailed to the two
houses assembled in joint session the
wartime creation of Americas great
tonnage-an experimental venture as
he described it-and then he added:
Having failed at such enormous
cost, l bring you the proposal which
contemplates the return to private
initiative and private enterprise, aided
to a conservative success, wherein we
are safeguarded against the promotion
of private greed and do not discourage
the hope of profitable investment,
which underlies all successful endeav-
or"
A ship subsidy estimated at approx
mately $32,oOO,OO0 annually, to be pro-
vided for principally by the diversion
of 10 per cent of the nations customs
receipts would be paid to the owners
of American ships engaged in folAign
trade under a bill introduced in the
senate and house. The measure in.
corporates subsidy plan proposed by

Judge Decides In the
Carmichael Divorce

Judge H. H. Belt Of Dallas, sit
ting at Pendleton, denied last Friday
decree of divorce to George B. Car
michael from Mabel Carmichael, af-
ter voluminous evidence taken by a
referee had been read to the court.
Over year ago George Carmichael
was granted decree of divorce from
Mabel Carmichael on the ground Of
impotency, when the case went by
default. He then married wife No,
2, and to the parties child has
since been born. Early last year Ma
bel Carmichael, wife No. |, appeared
in court and asked for vacating Of
the original divorce decree, on the
grounds of duress and that the orig
inal ground for divorce was not
proven. She alleged that she was
railroaded ont of Pendleton by her
husband.
Judge Phelps, who granted the
original default decree, later order
ed it set aside on the showing made
by wife No. /. He caused Judge
Belt to preside over the second liti-
cation instituted by the husband, and
the decision of Judge Belts now sus-
tains him.
Briefly narrated, these are the sa-
lient facts in case which has been
marked by a number of sensational
developments and which has occa-
stoned widespread interest through
out the Inland Empire. 1t is said to
have had no parallel in the annals of
the Oregon courts. AS it stands now,
the result leaves Carmichael with two
wives. 1t is reported that his law
yers will file an appeal to the su-
preme court.

LAND EXCHANGE AND
STANF|ELD RAPED
At BOISE, IDAHO
Resolutions Passed At a Mass
Meeting Asking President to
Veto Bill As Passed.

A Boise, Idaho dispatch states that
after an acrumonius debate of four
and half solid hours in a mass
meeting that jammed the hall of the
house of representatives, a set of res
olutions was adopted which con-
demned the bill now in the hands Of
President Harding, providing for an
exchange of 100000 acres of North
ern. Pacific lands in North Idaho for
range lands in South Idaho and called
upon the Idaho delegation in Con-
gress to do all in it's power to induce
the president to veto the measure.
The measure provides for the ex-
change of strip of cutover timber
land, six miles wide and extending
from the Salmon river to the city of
Wallace, along the eastern border of
the Nez Perce, Clearwater and Selway
forest reserves $780, 900 acres, for a
like number Of acres Of grazing lands
in Southern Idaho.
Miles Cannon, Idaho state commits
sioner Of agriculture, asserts that
the proposed land exchange was pro-
NOTED on behalf Of small group Of
private interests. Through this ex-
change it is charged that big sheep
corporations are aiming to control
practically all the grazing land in
Southern Idaho outside Of the forest
reserves. This was to be done, it is
alleged, by selecting alternate Sec
tions, and land around watering plac-
es in way to shut out all other
sheep and cattle men.
Commissioner Cannon also has
launched an assault against Senator
r, N. Stanfield of Oregon and the
sheep companies in which he is inter
ested and other sheep companies.
The specific charge made by Com
missioner Cannon is that these con-
Germs are far in arrears in payment
to farmers throughout this section
for the purchase of quantities Of
grain and hay.
II have on file in my Office" Com
missioner Cannon said; claims a
gainst the r. N. Stanfield company
alone aggregating thousands Of dol
lars. These claims are for hay and
grain furnished to this corporation
in the spring of 1921 and for which
the hard-pressed farmers and settlers
have been unable to pay"
Commissioner Cannon said he had
taken the matter up with Attorney
General Roy L. Black and that he
would be guided by the advice of
that official. Some Of the claims
have been paid as result of pub
licity already given the matter by
the commissioner, he asserted.
According to Commissioner Cannon
Senator Stanfield controls six cor
porations organized and doing busi-
ness in Idaho in addition to his opera
tions in Oregon.
The Idaho commissioner has been
criticized for the actions he has taxi
en- in this matter. After his first
attack Charles E. Folsom, a certified
public accountant of Weiser demand
ed to konw "when the commissioner
of agriculture was given authority
: to become the financial publicity a.
gent and debt collector of the Idaho
! farmers"
Commissioner Cannon rests on his
r authorization to investigate all cases
Of this nature having to do with the
) handling and marketing Of farm pro-
: ducts.
