Daniels In his annual report, "that
without an armor plant of its own
the Government In time of war, or
Impending war, would be entirely at
the merry of three manufacturers,
and obliged to pay practically what
ever price they ask. During the time
that war with Spain was imminent,
these companies refused to accept the
prlco offered by Congress after Inves
tigation, as a just rate, and declined
to manufacture any armor until they
got their own price of 2100 a ton
more than that which Congress had
determined upon. The love of country

ASSESSORS DISCUSS A
NUMBER Of MEASURES
AND F0RMASS0CIA1I0N
SALEM, Or., Dec. 19. After per
fecting a permanent organisation and
passing resolutions upon a number of
subjects relating to taxation, the
Oregon County Assessors' Associa
tion, which convened here Thursday
morning, adjourned this afternoon
to convene again next year In Port
land subject to the call of the presi
dent, provided the state tax com.
mission does not Issue a call (or the
association to convene here.
Though In past years the assessors
of tbe counties have assembled In
convention, discussed tax methods,
and as a body fought for or against
tax measures proposed to be enacted
bv the initiative or through the Leg
islature, this Is tne first time mat
a uermanent association nas Deen
perfected, and It is believed that it
will accomplish much good in me
field of taxation. T. J. Thrift, asses
sor of Coos County, was elected presi
dent; J. E. Jack, of Clackamas Coun
ty, vice-president, and Max Crandall,
of Washington County, treasurer
secretary. Committees on legisla
tion, resolutions, and ways and means
were also appointed.
iiienis agreed to. The House ac
cepted tho first part of the motion
but on a vote refused to endorse the
amendments.
Will lie Agreed to Monday.
Congressman Glass today told the
House conferees on the currency hill,
which passed the Senate Inst night,
that they couldn't possibly agree be
fore Monday. This eliminated the
last chance of getting the bill, with
that the armor ring believes in a big
navy?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. Attor
ney-General McReynolds made public
tonight the details of an agreement
for the reorganization of the Ameri
can Telephone & Telegraph Company,
tho "telephone .trust," which will
prevent litigation" to dissolve that cor
poration under the anti-trust act and
under' which competitive conditions
will be restored In the telephone ser
vice of the entire country, and under
which the combine will dispose of Its
holdings in the Western Union Tele-
irrnnh Comnanr.
The reorganisation plan originated
with the company, although It fol
lowed nianv reports that suit against
It mlcht be filed. It was regarded
hv Department of Justice officials
here tonight as the most striking In
dication offered In a decade that

clusion that It Is better to follow the
Sherman law than to fight It.
The nliin not only met with the
approval of the Attorney-General and.
his chief trust buster, O. C. Toaa,
nnd officials of subsidiaries of the
combine, but was heartily approved
by President Wilson. In a letter to
McReynolds the President expressed
admiration for tbe attitude of tbe
telephone company, and bis convic
tion that sueh conduct on tho part
of business men meant tbe building
up of business on a sound and per
manent basis.
Has Largo Significance.
Comina- on the beets of tbe an.
nouncement that Postmaster-General
Burleson Is interested in the Govern
ment ownership of the telephone
lines, the Department of Justice ac
tion took an aaaea aignmcance ana
some officials went so far aa to ex-
niu the nnlnlon that It Indicated
the legislation to acquire tbe tele
phone business would not be pressed
by the administration at the present
ARslon.
The agreement provides mat me
American Telephone ft Telegrapn
Cnmnanv will dispose promptly of
the holdings of the Western Union

cern shall be under a aisunci man
agement and so that all snail oe en
