Taking of Civilian Post Requires
Resignation of Commission.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 2. (By
the Associated Press.) Acceptance by
Major-General Leonard Wood of the
post of governor-general of the Phil-
ippines will necessitate his retirement
from active service in the army after
35 years spent with the military es
tablishment. Legislation proposed by the admin
istration which would have enabled
General Wood to accept the Philippine
governorship and yet remain on the
active list was killed last month in
the house, the military committee of
which by an almost unanimous vote
agreeing to table the bill. The com
mittee was understood to have felt
that it would be unwise to permit
army officers to accept civilian posts
without resigning their commissions.
Secretary Weeks, on learning of
General Wood's decision, expressed
himself as "highly gratified."
The secretary said he had not been
advised officially of General Wood's

tember 1, when the fire havoc usually
occurs, according to the forest service
records.
The fire damage covered an area
of 15.1S2 acres in the two states, with
over two-thirds, or 10.662 acres of
the burned area in Washington. Es
timates of losses have not been com
pleted. The cost of fire protection
for the year was 142,000.
The Olympic forest windfall area,
which caused great apprehension
among forest service officials, who
feared that a blaze might get under
headway there and sweep the timber
stand on the peninsula, was kept
under control during the season and
no serious fires developed. The haz
ard of the windfall area will increase,
however, for the next four or five
years, as the windfall dries out and
begins to decay.

trackmen, about 3000 in all, effective
next Sunday and announced today by
General Manager William von Phul,
has been anticipated by the men for
the last two weeks, according to that
official.
Von Phul said today that the order
has caused no trouble and that the
wage cut was expected by the em
ployes when the Oakland traction em
ployes' wages were similarly reduced
two weeks ago.
Present employes of the Market-
street railway and those hereafter to
be engaged, are affected alike by the
new order.
Decreasing cost of living is given
by Von Phul as the reason for tie
cutting down of wages.
Under the new schedule the rates
of pay are 42 cents an hour for the
first six months 48 cents an hour after
the second six months, which rate is
to continue for a year; then the rate
is to be 50 cents an hour for a period
of a year, with 52 cents an hour after
that period, which will be the maxi-
Oregon Solon Declares Minor Ap
pointments Will Be Left to
Officeholders.
"President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are possessed with the high
estmotives in calling the disarma
ment conference, but I am sometimes
afraid that the irreconcilables will
bear down with so much pressure
that the conference will be a fail
ure.'' Thus spoke Senator McNary when
he arrived in Portland last night
after ten months' absence in Wash
ington, where he has been at his
duties as United States senator from
Oregon.
"There can be no doubt but what
the question of disarmament is one
of the most worthy ever considered,
but will the disarmament conference
have the results that are expected?"
Dictation In Denied. "
Senator McNary scouted all rumors
that have been current In Portland
for some time, that he and Senator
Stanfield would dictate the minor ap
pointments in the offices of the vari
ous political officeholders.
"When we made our recommenda
tions to the senate we gave the men
who had been appointed credit for
having good sense," he continued
"Such being the case I am not going
to even suggest to any appointee
whom he shall appoint in his office
Such an action on my part would
be taking away from the officeholder

to appoint the proper men that is his
fault, not mine.
Senator McNary was met at the
depot last night by Mrs. John Mc
Xary of Salem and left immediately
by automobile for his home at the
state capital.
"I want to rest for some time,' ex
plained the senator. "Ever since the
senate convened in the special sesr
sion called by the president shortly
following his inauguration we have
all been busy and I am truly tired
and ready for a rest. I want to
forget politics and be ready for hard
work during the next session,
That the reclamation bills that have
been worked out In the committee of
which Senator McNary is chairman
will pass during the next session, is
the belief of the senator.
Western Prestige Grows,
"People of the east are coming to
the realization slowly but surely that
the western country really counts.
continued Senator McNary. "This fact
is having an influence on the repre
sentations in 'congress and I believe
that the reclamation measure will pass.
This will give aid to all the projects
under consideration and development
in Oregon and of course will Increase
the acreage of tillable lands."
Not long ago one of the posts of
the American Legion adopted a reso
lution censuring Senator McNary for
nis stand on the Donus question.
"My telegram in reply to that post
was sufficient." said Senator McXary.
'.'I have always been in favor of aid
to the soldiers but I insisted right
along and still insist that there should
be a land settlement provision in the
bonus bill. The president expressed
the attitude that I think .is proper
when he asked that the bonus bill
be withheld until such a time should
arise that the finances of the gov
ernment could afford the payment of
a cash bonus.
Interest Shewn in Fair.
That the eastern states are keenly
alive to the fact that there is to be
an exposition in Portland in 1925 was
also indicated by Senator McNary.
The administration 19 behind the
fair and the people are interested
and many are already coming here,"
he said. "There was some opposition
on the ground that congress did not
want to appropriate any money, but
that was overcome."
Senator McNary has not heard of
the dismissal or attempted dismissal
of William Bryon from the position
as chief of the department of Justice
operatives In Portland.
"Who is Bryon and when was he
dismissed?" asked Senator McNary
"I have been on the train all the time
and have not been Informed of any
dismissals of any kind. I know noth
ing of the case."
Senator McNary will remain in
Salem for one month and then return
to Washington.
"I came out here to rest and that's
what I am going to do," he said.
KECLAMATIOiX BILL BACKED
Harding Promises Support to West
ern Programme.
LA GRANDE, Or., Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.) In his next message to con
gress President Harding will urge
the passage of the Smith-McNary
reclamation bill, according to Senator
Charles L. McNary, who passed
through here this morning on his
way to Portland. This promise was
given Senator McNary by the presi
dent shortly before the senator left
for Oregon.
Passage of the Smith-McNary bill,
which will result in many Irrigation
projects being completed in this and
other western states, now seems cer
tain, according to the senator. He
predicted its passage in the senate
this winter, and said he expected it
to be favorably acted on in the house.
At the latest, the year 1923 will see
the beginning of a reclamation pro
gramme which in a number of years
would . mean the spending of hun
dreds of millions of dollars on proj
ects that would increase the crops of
the 13 western states enormously, he
added.
In discussing the period of business
depression Senator McNary sounded
a note of optimism. In the eastern
states he found business already was
reviving. This is due, he declared,
to an approach toward a normal con
dition in demand and supply.
"The cessation of the war left mil
lions of pounds of wool and imported
neat and other commodities' on hand
in the United States, and the depres
sion has been due largely to the
oversupply whioh has now been re
duced near normal," he said.
The signing of the treaty of peace
with Germany is also acting as a
stimulant in this country, in Senator
McNary's opinion. This is being re
flected by an increase in commerce
not only with Germany, but with
Russia and other European countries.

the third congressional district,' re
turned home yesterday and will re

Mr. McArthur, who is a member of
the navy committee, is particularly
Interested in the disarmament con
ference and declares that while far
from being a pacifist, it Is time to
give the armament of navies grave
consideration when it Is remembered
that the five naval powers have more
than 32,500,000,000 invested in battle
ships alone, resulting in a terrific tax
on the people of the respective coun
tries.
Burden Would Be Reduced.
"Limitations of armaments by the
great naval powers of the world will
not only tend to lessen the probablll
ties of future wars, but will mate
r'ally reduce the great tax Tburden
under which the people of the great
nations are struggling," said Mr. Mc
Arthur. "The disarmament confer
ence, which is scheduled to begin
November 11 at Washington, is there
fore, regarded as an event of the
greatest importance both nationally
and internationally. If the confer
ence should really fulfill the expecta
tions of the people and enter into a
real agreement for armament reduc-
ton. the delegates assembled at
Washington will have taken one of
the big forward steps in history and
mankind generally will rejoice.
Coat of War Bealised.
"The American people are begin
ning to realize the cost of the recent
war both as to fatalities and finance
and any practical plan for the lim
itation of armaments will meet with
their hearty approval. When one
stops to consider that a modern bat
tleship cost from 335,000,000 to 340,
000,000 and that the five great powers
of the world have more than $2,500,
000.000 invested in this class of ships
alone, It is time to stop and think
seriously of the terrible birden of
taxation that must be borne by the
people for the support of great navies.
Limitation la Favored.
"I am no pacifist but on the con
trary, have uniformly supported all
necessary legislation for a strong
army and a powerful navy, but I am
heartily in favor of any rational plan
for armament limitation. The Borah
resolution offered such a plan and
It was passed by congress without
serious opposition. This resolution
provided for a conference between
representatives of the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, but Presi
dent Harding went further and in
cluded France and Italy in the in
vitation. He also invited a discus
sion of those subjects of policy upon
which the nations base -war arma
ments. President Harding has shown
the qualities of a great leader in
this matter and it the coming con
ference meets the prayers and ex
pectations of the people he will have
a big place in history.
Congrats' Record Defended.
"I have heard much criticism of
the present congress, but most of
the criticism is unjust and some of
It Is inspired by considerations of
partisanship. This congress has not
been idle. It has passed the Sweet
hill, providing for a consolidation of
all bureaus dealing with veterans of
the world war. It has aiso passed
the national budget bill, which is
betas- put into operation by the ad
ministration, with prospects of saving
millions to the taxpayers. It has
passed a splendid immigration law
and also two of the great appropria
tion bills that died with the last
congress the army and navy supply
bills for the current fiscal year.
"The house has passed the revenue
and tariff bills' in almost record time
and both measures will reach the
president before December 1. The
revenue bill will equalize the burden
of taxation and a number of nui
sance taxes will be abolished. Much
work remains to be done when con
gress reconvenes, but when the reg
ular December session is finally writ

confident that the verdict of the
American people will be one of approval."

In due time the Oregon delegation

propriation to be asked for will be
modest and not extravagant, but one
calculated to enable the government
