In Raising Extra Funds
A roaa tax of two and a half mills
was voted Saturday "by Oregon City
district number one. The tax will
raise approximately $7,500. There

the new Willamette river span. Under
the agreement with the state high

make four annual payments of ap
proximately 7,000 83 tlieir share of
the cost of the new arch. The pay
ment next year under the tcix just vot
ed is the second to be made. -
A similar tax was voted last year,
being the first special tax ever pass
ed by this district. The funds derived
are not -formally designated for the
payment on the bridge but go into the
municipal road fund, and make is pos-
sible to use the money received from
the county under the general road tax
upon permanent improvements within
tne City- and for the upkeep of the

al taxes. In a large number of the i

TCHCGCK RAPPED BY
BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 24 The Tig
er of France lashed back at his senate
critics today in his first American in-'
terview, granted to The Associated
Press, replying particularly to the
criticism of Senators Hitchcock and
Borah.
"Senator Hitchcock calls me a mil
itarist, Clemenceau, French war i
premier said. "Well I am glad to tell j
Mr. Hitchcock he is'ln the senate,
owing to the vote, for only a few more I
days. When he is free, I dare him to !
go to France and learn the facts."
Answering Senator Hitchcock's de
mand that he exDlain whv France in-
sisted on using black troops in her
army of occupation, the Tiger declared
that Hitchcock had been misled by
German propaganda and that today
there was not a single black soldier in
German territory.
To Senator Borah's recent assertion
that Clemenceau was primarily re
ponsible for conditions ia Europe be
cause of his great influence in the
drafting of the Vesailles treaty the
aged statesman declared his situation
was "particularly distressing," since in
France he had been most bitterly criti
cized, "for having asked from the Ger
mans less than I ought to."

ERSKINE GHILDERS IS
OFFICIALLY EXEGUTED
DUBLIN, Nov. 24. Erskine Child

He was executed at -7 o'clock this
morning for having had an automo

nounced in an official bulletin given
out by the national army.
While the method of execution was
not offically described, it is believed
it was by shooting. .
The concerted machine gun and
rifle firing in several districts of the
city last night, believed to have been
staged as a demonstration against the
execution Erskine Childers, exceeded
In intesity and duration all of Dublin's

Bullets began to fly soon after 9

AMERICA IS TO INSIST
ON OPEA DOOR POLICY
LAUSANNE, Nev. 23. Richard
Washburne Child, chief - American
spokesman at the Near Easterncon
ference, amazed the other delega
tions at this morning's session by re
iterating the insistence of the United
States upon the open door policy in
Turkey. He read the aidememoir de
livered on October 30 to Great Britain
Fran-e an Italy and said that the
American government and public sup
ported this policy.
The conference adjourned its morn
ing session after "the completion of
Ambassador Child's statement and will
resume the discussion of boundaries
this afternoon. Mr. Childs said:
"It is not and will not be the con
cern of the representatives of the
United States to express at this con
ference views which have not for their
the legitimate national interests of the
United States or those of humanitar
ian consideration which I assume are
shared by every delegation present.
"We will, however, and I trust ac
ceptably, state when the occasion aris
es the position of the United States.
We believe that a convenient and ap
propriate occasion now has arisen.
"It is not unknown to those who
have observed the history of confer
ences and negotiations that few sub
jects may be considered by them
selves. I note, referring to the specif
ic subject under discussion, that all
the various points of negotiation- must
be considered as a unit, and it is often
true that no one detail of negotiations
can be considered as isolated from
the others.
"The representatives df the United
States are unable, therfore, t hear
concluded the discussion of any ter
ritorial settlement which in its turn
may affect other settlements without
drawing the attention of the confer
ence to certain traditional principles

vides for fire protection to . farmers
on all paved roads within a radius of
fifteen miles of Dallas. When a farm
house or barn along a paved road
catches fire all the farmer has to do
is to telephone the Dallas department
and it will respond at forty to fifty
miles an hour with a chemical en
gine or a steamer as occasion may
warrant. -
Dallas county is one of. the first in
the country to make such an arrange
ment. Several fires have already
been extinguished with small loss. A
general reduction in fire insurance
rates in the smaller towns and farm
Ins districts has been the result. The
service will be made more extensive
when the big road building program
by the arrangement are reported to be

INCREASE OF TWO
MILLS III SCHOOL
TAX IS APPROVED
An increase in the school tax of two
mills was voted last night at meet
ing attended by more than 30 taxpay
ers of school district 62. The tax vot
ed for the coming year is 13.4 mills,
representing an increase from 11.4.
The extra tax, it is pointed out by
members of the board, has been neces
sary to take care of the increased de
mands upon the schools? Since the
period of . the war, according to city
superintendent R- W. Kirk, the school
district has not quite been able to
meet, with the funds provilel, the
necessary improvements and operating
expenses. The increase in the tax, it
is indicated, will be used largely in
bringing to a balance the finances of
the district and prevent the necessity
of furthe" increases in its indebted
ness. I 1 . i T -! A I i,
