Possible Revenues Short of
Estimate by Big Sum.
German Answer Declared to Leave
Matter Dependent on Loan
From Foreign Banks.
BT ANDRE TARDIEU,
Formar French High Commissioner to
America.
fCoDvrleht. 1922. by The Oreeonian.)
' PARIS, Juno 3. (Special Cable.)
Germany's reply -on the reparations
question means nothing. Like all
German answers since Germany began
replying. It reminds one of the am
biguity of the notes that Wilson re
ceived from Berlin prior to America's
declaration of war. ' .
True, it contains certain promises,
but they are based upon a hypothesis
which may not be realized and thus,
when the day of fulfilment arrives,
Germany can say, "I am not com
mitted to anything."
As I eaid last week. May 81, al
though called the final limit, was
not the dav of nayment, but only a
day whereon Germany must accept
or reject the reparations commission
conditions for continuing the mora
torium. These conditions were chiefly
the cessation of fiduciary inflation
and the exportation of capital.
Wirth Note Indefinite.
On the essential points and theJ
stabilization of the mark is as essen
tial to Germany as to her creditors
Wirth's note formulates promises In
principle, but leaves the realization
tn further conversations. The credl
tors seem to have forgotten that
Germany could not refuse whatever
conditions they Judged indispensable
to putting Germany's finances in
order, for article 241 of the Versailles
treaty stipulates clearly that tier
many must modify her laws, decrees
and ordinances so as to assure com
plete execution of the reparations
clauses. '
wirth merely declared he will dis
cuss with the reparations commis
aion what must be done. Thus we
tirtA niirselvcs on the terrain of con
versations and hypothesis abandon
ing the firm ground of law as ae
fined by the treaty.
Loan Taken tor Granted.-
Furthermore, "Wirth's note assumes

MAT RECORD FOR HEAT IS

DAWSON CITY, Y. T., June 4. The
last remnants of winter's ice are melt-
iny o rapidly in the Yukon river and
lbs tributaries that floods are now
teing reported in many sections with
the wannest May weather ever ex
perienced in the territory. Three
days ago it was 85 in the ehade in
Dawson, which beats the previous
May record by five degrees.

Rock Levee, which protects Bear
creek and Its machine shops. Lower
stories of road houses, ehops, barns

inhabitants moved to upper stories or
to the hills, while the whole town was
covered with a uniform depth of two
teet of water. The waters were re
ceding today and the worst was over,

The food and merchandise stocks
at Mayo, which were lower than usual
at the opening of navigation, have

This seems to be the consensus of

$115,000 CUT NECESSARY
- ; ' "
Taxpayers Torn Between Desire to
Economize and to Maintain
Maximum Efficiency.
AUTO LICENSES INCREASE
2,000 More Permits Issued
.Washington Than Year Ago.
OLiYMPIA, Wash., June 3. (Spe
cial.) Due largely, it is believed, to
the number of new automobiles be
Ing sold, and in. lesser measure to
the activities of the highway patrol
and city police over ' the state in
checking up delinquents,- nearly 20,000
more automobile licenses had been
issued by the state license depart
ment June 1, 1922, than were issued
up to the same date in 1921. Fees
received this year in the same period
total more than $300,000 more than
in 1921. , -..
Up to June 1, this year, the depart
ment had issued 180,713 sets of license
plates as against 161,136 in 1921. The
number of sets issued up to June
this year is equal to that issued up
to August 15 last year.
enca has spread throughout the city,
with public opinion in a general state
of deadlock. There are a few agres
sive advocates of reduction who say
that the number of teachers can be
reduced without sacrifice of school
efficiency; and some go so far as to
urge that the compensation of teach
ers may well be cut at this time to
correspond with the cuts made in
other directions during recent months.
But, in general, the only answer to
the problem is that "there must be
some other way." Newspapers that
have loudly joined in the demand for
cost savings, discharge of superflu
ous help and wage cuts In every other
line of public service-have swung
sharply around at this point and are
as loudly demanding "protection" for
the teachers and their compensation.
And still the preliminary school
budget shows that revenues for next
year will be $115,870 short of require
ments. The budget will not come up
for final adopt'on until October; so
that, whatever may be the effect of
the new city administration's policy
with respect to the municipal street
railway system, Seattle will not be
lacking for something to worry about
through the summer.- .
CANADIANS WILL ATTEND
Church of England Delegations
Coming to Episcopal Confabs.
SEATTLE, Wash- June 3. fSDe-
cial.) The Church of England, with
many parishes just across the inter
national boundary line, will be
strongly represented at the great
convention of the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew, to be held in Seattle, August
to September 3.
Walter Macpherson, national sec
retary of the brotherhood, whose
headquarters is established in Seattle
until the convention is over, has just
returned from British Columbia,
where he found the clergy and laity
mucn interested, Dotn in the brother
hood convention in Seattle and In
the triennial general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church of
America, which opens in Portland
September 5.
More Attractive Bonds Wanted.
ABERDEEN, Wash., June 3. (Spe
cial.) City Attorney Cross has been
asked to assist in the preparation of
measure for the next legislative
session which will make street im
provement bonds more attractive.
The plan anticipates the formation of
sinking fund to be raised by mill
tax, which would be used for the
payment of assessments which go de
linquent. The cities, of course, would
have a lien on the property, and
would be reimbursed in time.' The
object is to insure the contractors
ainst loss in case the delinquencies
are numerous.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., June 3. Seattle's discussion
of what to do .with the municipal
street railway system, its fares, its
debts and its deficits, has been tem
porarily suspended by the definite
promise of the incoming city admin
istration that "something" will be
done. Mayor Brown and .three new
members of the city council take their
seats on Monday, June 5. If the
something" promised doesn't ma
terialize very promptly the discus
sion will be resumed; not, at the
first, with any doubts as -to the good
faith of the new administration, but
simply because, with street cars run
ning all around the town, the topic
cannot be kept out of mind.
Filling In the present interval Se
attle- is given something -else to
worry about. The city schools are
facing a financial crisis. This Is not
ar. entirely new experience for the
schools of Seattle; but hitherto
such crises have been met and over
come by the expedient of raising
enough money to get by. The present
crisis hits Seattle just at a time when
taxpayers are most loudly insisting
on a reduction of the costs of all pub
lic service. The people are now torn
between their desire to spend less
money and their wish to maintain the
school system at the maximum - of
efficiency.
Budget Estimates Huge.
The preliminary budget estimates
of the Seattle district for the school
year 1922-23 call for $4,815,870. The
tctal possible Income for the coming
year, from all sources, is 14,700,000.
In other words, the estimates must
be cut by at least 5115,870 to break
even. The 'sources of revenue and
the amounts expected to be received
are: From the state, $1,400,000; from
King county, $700,000; from a 10-milI
district tax levy on a valuation of
$240,000,000, $2,400,000; while miscel
laneous income from school lunch
rooms, book fines and other petty
sources may run up to $200,000.
During the 1922-23 school year
bond interest payments of $471,000
must be met, and bond redemption
payments during the , same period
will total $257,000. These items are
outside the budget estimates and
must be met with a tax levy. The
computation thus far indicates a
14-mill tax for the coming year, as
against a tax of 13.37 mills last year.
New Economies Demanded.
This intimation has not been well
received by local taxpayers' organi
zations. Coupled with the news that
the budget estimate for maintenance
of the schools was in excess of all
possible revenue, it brought upon the
school board, fronts all directions, a
concentrated demand for new econo
mies and a general reduction of
school costs.
It was then that public sentiment
struck the snag. -
A delegation representing various
civic and taxpayers' organizations
waited on the school board at its last
meeting. Dr. Edwin J. . Brown, the
newly elected mayor, was one of the
party. Everyone talked for economy
and lower costs. Dr. Brown spoke
earnestly of what he hoped to do to
cut the expenses of city government.
It -was pointed out hat county taxes
naa aireaay uruppeu a. itsw yuiuw
that the state government was
pledged to lower taxes next year,
and it was urged that the school
board must not be the one and only
taxing body to "hold out for an in
When the argument was apparently
all in, Director E. Shorrock, for many
years president of the school board
and now chairman of its finance
committee, called attention to the
fact that 90 per cent of the budget
total is for pay of teachers, and only
10 Der cent for general expense. The
10 per cent, he said, represented the
inimum required, to make sure that
the schools would be kept open. The
only means of saving, in his opinion
would be by reducing the number ot
teachers employed or cutting their
pay. Mr. Shorrock expressed no pref
erence In the matter, but intimated
that the board was willing to be ad
vised. The only answer that the ad
vocates of economy had to make was
that "there must be some other way.
The school board seemed to know of
none.- ' "
The problem seen in that confer-
' Attendance Averages Broken. , .
ABERDEEN, Wash., June 3 "(Spe
cial.) The highest attendance aver
age since November, 1921, was
reached last month by pupils of the
Aberdeen public schools; who main
tained a daily attendance of 97.38 per
cent. In November, 1921, the attend
ance average was 97.39 per cent,
which was lower than the averages
of September and October. The April,
1922, average was 97.19 per cent.
During May the total enrollment was
2606 pupils and the daily attendance
was zo3g..

How We Started
Thirty-three years ago when we
opened our first store at 193 Third
street, Joseph Shemanski, founder
ani present manager of this store,
ha" one guiding principle upon
which to build this business.
Credit was the foundation upon
which he built He had faith in
his fellow men. He believed they
would pay their just bills and that
an enormous volume of business
could be built on this principle.
The people were assured we sold
only the best kind of goods at a
price consistent with the quality
offered. We backed this statement
with our positive guarantee.
Today we benefit by the sound"
business tactics which guided our
early days in this city. We have
grown because of your confidence
in our printed and spoken word
grown so large that today The
Eastern Outfitting Company is the
largest ready-to-wear credit organ
