the outcome.

"The end of this war will not come

SALEM DEBATERS
LEAGCE OF NATIOX9 DISCUSSED
WITH THE DALLES TEAM.
Argwsaeat Takes Place la Andltortaa
( Washington High School, De
daloa Standing 3 e 1.
John Gavin and Francis Radley, rep
resenting The Dalles High School, lost
the decision In a debate last night to
Dewey Prost and Phillip Elliott, repre
senting Salem High School. The de
bate took place In the Washington High
School auditorium here, the Judges vot
ing two to one for the Salem High
School speakers.
The subject debated was, "Resolved,
That at the end of the present war the
United States should Join a league of
nations which shall poasess the power
to enforce the decisions of an Interna
tional court." The winning team up
held the affirmative side of the ques
tion.
The winners will meet the repre
sentatives of Marshdeld High School
for the state championship In the near
future.
The speeches last night were of 15
minutes' duration, and aix-mlnute re
buttals were given by Gavin for the
negative and Prost for the affirmative.
Mr. Prost opened the debate for the
affirmative and Mr. Gavin opened for
the negative. Mr. Elliot followed for
the affirmative, and Mr. Radley closed
the debate for the negative.
LONDON. April 10 The budget which
Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the
Excheauer. will present In the House
of Commons Monday will be the highest
financial bill that Parliament has yet
had to conaider.
Forecasts by financial writers give
the estimated expenditure for the fiscal
year, which began April 1, at tJ.ooo,
00O.000.
The estimated revenue on the pres
ent scale of taxation Is 750,000,000
which would result in a deficit of
2,260,000,000, to be covered by war
loans and Increased taxation.
The country la prepared to accept
greatly Increased taxes and expects th
government to propose to raise at leas
1100,000,000 and perhaps even double
thst amount thereby.
The principal Innovation expected
a tax on luxuries, similar to that in
France. Expensive clothing, jewelry
and art objecta are likely to be in
eluded In this scheme. London is the
world's center for art auctions, and
there is a demand for a toll on auction
rooms.
The income tax has long been the
backbone of the British treasury; It
has been found to be the most even
and easily collected of all imposts.
Hence, the chancellor will naturally
give another turn of the screw there.
'i a present flat rate Is five shillings
In the pound. It Is expected that thl
will be increased to six shillings eight
pence, while the supertax which now
is payable on Incomes of f 3000 will be
extended to those of 2000.
No Increase in the excess profits tax
Is expected. It Is at present 80 per
cent.
An increase In the tax on tobacco,
which Is already heavily taxed, while
importations have been checked and
stocks are decreasing, is not predicted.
Cigars, however, may be listed as lux
urles in the new schedule.
There Is talk of a change In the
method of imposing the income tax
on farmers. The tax heretofore has
been assessed on the basis of farm
rentals Instead of profits.

EUGENE. Or.. April 20. (Special.)
Faye Bolin. student at Willamette Uni
versity, won first honors at the Oregon
oratorical contest of the Intercollegiate
Prohibition Association, held In Eugene
last night, and will represent the state
at the interatste contest for Washing
ton, Oregon. Montsna and Idaho, to be
held at Salem in May.
Miss Bolin's subject was "The Test
of Honor." Mary E. Pennington, of
Pacific Collejre, waa awarded second
plsce. and Chris J. Benny, of the Eu
gene Bible University, third. Miss Pen
nington's subject was "The Time to
Strike." Mr. Benney spoke on the sub
ject "For the Defense of the President
and tne Safety of the Future."
Local Federal Officers Ready to Act
When Definite Instructions Are
Received From Waahlngton.
Federal officials here are awaiting
definite instructions from Washington
to proceed with the registration of
women alien enemies required under
the law enacted by Congress last week
and approved by the President. Be
fore the provisions of the measure can
be carried, out the President must first
Issue a proclamation. When this has
been done the Attorney-General will
prescribe the general rules under
which the registration shall be made
and forward the same -to the United
States Marshal in each state.
As the law is interpreted here, it
applies to all women alien enemies.
In the registration of alien enemy
malea several weeks ago, however, only
unnaturalized Germans 14 years old
and over were required to register.
Subjeots of Austria-Hungary, although
alien enemies, were exempted from
registering. It Is considered likely
that the registration of women alien
enemies may also be confined to women
of German birth.
Another important point to be de
termined Is by whom the registration
of these women will be made. The
registration of males was done under
the supervision of the chief of police
in cities of 5000 and over. In all other
communities the work was superin
tended by the postmasters.
ARMY SURGEON IS VISITOR
Colonel Jj. P. Mans Inspects Medical
Conditions In Northwest.
The appearance In Portland yester
day of Colonel L. P. Maus. surgeon of
the Western Department of the United
States Army, with headquarters at San
Francisco, has seml-off icially given
credence to the belief that a military
hospital for the rehabilitation of Amer
ican soldiers msy be established in this
vicinity. If not within the city of Port
land.
Colonel Maus does not deny that it
comes within the province of his work
to help select one or more sites for
