Moderates Said to Resent Intensely
British" Policy Regarding
Turkey.
. BOMRAT, Jan. 24. (By the Asso
elated Press.) Lord Northcllffe. Brit
ish newspaper publisher, gave
lteuter's today an analysis of the sit
nation in India, after an examina
tion lasting; 10 days.
"Returning to India after 25 years'
absence," he said, "I am shocked
at the change of demeanor and acts
toward the whites by both Hindus
and Mohammedans, especially those
f ' thera who formerly were most
friendly. For the first time In Indian
history, they are acting in close com'
binatlon."
lie said one distinguished royal Mo
fiammedan judge told him the most
dangerous sign was that women were
becoming Infected with anti-British
poison. Noting the large number of
Indians wearing white caps, denot
ing their adherence to the principles
of M. K. Uandhl, the non-co-opera-
tionlst leader, he said:
"The loyal Mohammedans demand
the instant arrest of Gandhi, saying
this would prevent extremist out
breaks. But peaco cannot be assured
until the Moslem question is ad
Justed. The Moslems bitterly resent
our attitude, after having caused
Moslem to fight Moslem in Mesopo
tamia." Moderates' Demands Explained.
lie explained the demands of the
moderate Moslems substantially as
follows:
"All Moslem countries intensely re
cent the British policy regarding
Turkey. They feel most deeply the
Flight they consider has been put on
the caliphate."
Moderate Moslems told him, Lord
Js'orthcltffe said, that if the follow
ing programme were Instantly car
ried out, it would heal the wounded
sentiments and restore peace and
tranquility in India:
"The British should again recog
nize the sultan as the head of Islam
tind the warden of the holy palaces
lit Mecca, Medina and Bagdad, and
ferant access to them by all Moslems.
"Adrianoplo should be returned to
Turkey,
"The whole of Asia Minor should
te handed over to Turkey, not except
ing Syria, for the Turks regard Asia
linor as their homeland and they re
rent splitting up of the land of their
liirth.
Objections Are Cited.
"The moderate Mohammedans." he
continued, "admit that two objec
tions could be raised against this
Fcheme, but both can, according to
them, be discounted. The first i
that as Bagdad is under British occu
pation, it would be Incompatible to
give the sultan any influence there:
but the Mohammedans say that his
wardenship would be purely nominal
and would extend scarcely a quarter
of a mile.
"The second objection Is that
greater Armenia lies within that por
tion of Asia which the Turks regard
particularly and hereditarily as their
own. and we cannot allow the Ar
menians to fall again under Turkish
rule.
"The .moderate Mohammedans ad
vanco two solutions to this last ob
jection. The first and easiest would
bo to create an Armenian independent
state with a British resident to pro
tect it.
Mlurntlon Suggested.
The second solution, 1 gather, is to
Invite the Armenians to leave what
the Moslems call the impoverished
country and migrate southward
around the gulf of Alexandretta.
where they would be protected from
the north and west by the Taurus
mountains and we could protect them
from the sea."
In concluding. Lord Northcllffe
said:
"1 express no opinions, but the Mos
lem situation is much uglier than
the borne press appears to know."

is the culmination of a long-planned
hope to visit Europe. The decision
to start on this Journey was with
held until I felt satisfied that the
exposition programme was well on
its way toward development.
"A full year has passed since the
exposition was conceived. luring
this time much has been accom
plished, a number of obstacles en
countered, but a better 'understand
ing prc-vails over the state today
toward the exposition than existed

exposition will bring to the. state ail
that the organisation claims for it
and more. Our main contention has
been to arrive at some equitable ad
justment of a method to provdie the
capital necessary to finance the event.
That this part of the programme will
be performed by the finance com
mittee and receive the approval of
the state-wide committee 1 have no

that the disarmament conference has

We Can look forward TiAn.f,,ll

The various, state legislatures that
are now in session along the Atlantic
coast ana in the south can be for
mally invited to appoint commissions
to ascertain what value the Oregon
1925 exposition will be to them. Na
tional enterprises can be seen in the
United States to gain their rnnflHcn
and final co-opcratlon. Plans have
uen made for the internal deveinn-
ment of the general scheme nf thlnm
and the foundation laid, for active
construction to begin in the early
spring of next year.
Many Opinions Ilecelved.
Recent opinions received from
various parts of the state indicate
that the people appreciate the oppor
tunity before them in 1925. Th exnn-
sition undoubtedly is the most con
structive vehicle yet devised to put
vregon in tne path of progress.
Neighboring states recognize the ad
vertising value to the northwest, now
that so many paved highways lead'
across the continent, whereby tourists
can reach the west with the least re
sistance. Transcontinental railroads
are In concord with us and stand
ready to aid in turning the tide of
travel westward with an unlimited
amount of publicity at Oregon's dis
posal. The leading newspapers and
magazines of the northwest have per
formed wonderfully veil in Oregon's
behalf with unstinted praise for the
progressive spirit displayed by its
citizens.
"Oregon cannot lose by this activ
ity. The state has everything to gain.
The International advertising that
will result from holding a world's
exposition, the educational value the
people will absorb and the lasting
benefits naturally to follow by invest
ment should prove an asset far in ex
cess of the original Investment and
remain an everlasting tribute to the
genius and hospitality of the west
"We have experienced some delay
In adopting a suitable method of
finance. I attribute this to a lack of
sufficient understanding among our
selves. Other exposition programmes
have passed through similar experi
ences, but not without receiving a
larger vision as the price of their
knowledge and greater faith in their
undertaking.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Rejection of all rail
read shop rules, recently promulgated
by the railroad labor board, which cut
time and one half pay for extra work
from the shopmen's wages was or
dered today by the committee of 100,
acting for the six railway shop crafts.
In a circular Issued to the 500.000
shop workers, the committee ordered
new disputes instituted with the rail
way managements immediately over
these rules, and falling an agreement,
the disputes were ordered taken to
the labor board.
Of the seven rejected rules, the
greatest dissatisfaction centered on
rule six, providing straight time for
regularly assigned work on Sundays
and holidays. This work was previ
ously paid for at time and one half.
The committee proposed a substitute
rule, reinstating time and one half.
The'board's new rules covering em
ployes assigned to emergency road
work and to fill temporary vacancies
at outlying points were also rejected
by the committee, because they took
away certain pay provisions contained
in the old national agreement.
The union committee directed insti
tution of a dispute to reinstate time
and one half and double time to cover
all time spent on the emergency as
signment. Similar provisions will be
asked in disputes to be created over
rules 12 and 14, applying to men as
signed to temporary vacanles at out'
lying points, and to men on road work
who leave and return to their home
stations dally.
The board's new rule allowing the
carriers to require a physical examin
ation of all applicants for employ
ment also was remanded to the sys
tem federations to renegotiate with
the roada.
Another tmportant rule by which
the board .made it possible for the
roads to hire any man familiar with
the use of tools as a car-repairer
came under fire. A new rule vas pro.
pc-sed. over which the carmen are di
rected to open negotiations. The pro-r-osed
rule would allow helpers and
helper apprentices of less than four
years' experience to be advanced to
mechanic's grade and If more men are
needed, men wltn experience In tne
use of mechanics' tools could be hired
Thirty-three other rules were ac
cepted, subject to the interpretation
which the committee placed on them,
and the remaining rules were agreed
to. '
Rallroal officials declared there was
little likelihood of reinstating any of
the time and one-half provisions
wiped out y the board.

HABEAS CORPUS IS ASKED
Cuse Against Owner of Liquor
Launch Held Dismissed Once.
ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 24 (Special.)
A petition for a writ of habeas corpus
for the release of William Morris was
filed In the circuit court today by
Paul C. Dormitzer, attorney for the
defendant. Morris was arrested sev
eral days ago when his launch, the
B and W, and her cargo of contra
band liquor were seized.
The petition alleged Morris being
held without a court order. It said a
complaint charging Morris with
smuggling was filed in the federal
court by Deputy Collector Karinen
but when the case was called it was
dismissed because the court had no
jurisdiction.

be ignored as without merit, as also
the $300,000,000. Concerning the re
maining item of $900,000,000 he cited
various Items, which he said, should

claimed, that the deficit of the rail
roads during government operation,
covering a period of 26 months,

of 113 Oregon farms for 192J, aver
aging 310 acres each, showed a' net
Income of $463. Of the 113- farms,
statistics were available for 60 for
1914 and 1921. These showed total
receipts, $4764; total expenses, $4069:
net farm income, $695. On these 60
farms the taxes absorbed 33.3 per

Here is the way these 60 farms

climbed to 118 in 1919. and has
slumped to 71. The speaker said
that among the complaints of farm
ers is a demand for abolition of the
millage tax, with respect to Institu
tions of higher learning, and he has
found that among farmers who are
most vigorous for an income tax are
men who loaded up with land for
speculative purposes and now the
land speculator has been hit. .
Walter M. Pierce, of the commis
sion, declared that no farms have
been sold for the last year, but Coe
A. McKenna. his colleague, replied
that farms were sold last year to
easterners who were automobile tour
ing through the Willamette valley
and wanted a home for sentimental or
other reasons, but not essentially to
make a living. He also asserted that
the vast majority of real estate deal
ers are not making a living. Chair
man Day expressed the opinion that
the farmers have not changed their
Ideas of what their land is worth,
which Is one reason why farm sales
have been slow.
The burden on the land in the way
of taxes has caused a great amount
of delinquent taxes, greater than in
any previous period in the state's
history, it was brought out. What to
do with the delinquent tax property
is a problem. The commission is in
clined to the belief that the state
should take over the property and
then Ive the delinquent owner a long
time in. which to redeem it at a low
rate of interest possibly 6 per cent.
This is a matter which the commls
sion expects to develop later in Us in
vestlgation.
A state Income tax was discussed
briefly with Louis E. Bean of Eugene,
who fathered such a measure to fi
nance the 1925 expcsltion when the
special session was held at Salem.
Figures obtained at Washington,
D C, revealed that In 1919 there were
499.663 people paying an income tax
to the federal government; that these
people had a net gross income of
$116,240,606, and they contributed to
the government $8,232,437. The in
come tax and its many phases and
problems will be approached by the
commission by easy stages.
Sumpter valley, once a beautiful
garden spot, is being made a deso
late waste, unfit for anything, and,
being worthless, it Is being wiped off
the assessment roll. The causes are
dredges which are mining gold. When
a dredger gets through with a little
valley that formerly raised hay for
stock, it is equivalent to five cents
worth of knotholes. Dredger com
panies have bought hundreds of
acres; no one knows what thev are
getting in the way of gold; all they
pay is a small tax on the dredgers
themselves and they destroy forever
for agricultural, or any other pur
pose, the ground they dredee. The
commission intends ascertaining what
California has done to meet this situation.
