CHANGE IN TENURE
LAW IS PROPOSED
BY SCHOOL BOARD
Draft of a bill for the amendment
.of the present teachers' tenure law
no aa to abolish the present conv
mission by V Director Frank Shull
was adopted by the school board
Thursday afternoon with but one
modification.. Director W. F. Wood
ward opposed, the bilK y
The amended bill provides that teach
ers employed for not less than two suc
cessive annual terms shall, if employed
thereafter by the board, be placed upon
an indefinite contract and shall not be
subject to annual appointment; Teachers
may be dismissed at the end of a school
year after due notification by superin
tendent or principal by March 1 that
their work is unsatisfactory, followed by
failure to Improve by .April 1.
BOARD RULING FINAL
A dismissed teacher will be allowed a
hearing before the board, which shall be
final. An affirmative vote of four' mem-,
bers of the board will be necessary to
dismiss a teacher. The board is also
griven authority to summarily suspend a
teacher . case of gross dereliction of
duty or miscohduct, and to transfer a
teacher from one position to another.
Clerk Thomas was instructed to have
printed 2000 copies of the bill for distri
bution before its presentment In the com
irg legislature.
The only change made In Shull's draft
was the requirement of four board mem
bers Instead of a majority to dismiss a
. teacher. ,
Woodward, in opposing the bill, said he
. did not feel there was sufficient need at
present for the change that he did nbt
believe there were teachers in the schools
at present who were being retained sim
ply because of the difficulty of discharg
ing them..
GROUT GITES VIEW
Superintendent Grout reiterated a for
mer statement made before the board
that under the present tenure It Is better
. to suffer with Inefficient teachers than
to, go 'through a publicity campaign
necessary to effect their discharge.'
Director Newlll terms It a piece of
"vicious legislation," and referred to the
recent survey and report of the National
Kducation' association.
prion accepted the amendment after
4 the one modification was made.
' Tuition charges for out-of-town pupils
were raised aa follows: High schools,
'from $80 to $110; elementary. $4S to $75;
Benson Polytechnic, $135 to $150.
The board' rescinded" its former action
relative to paying expenses of an East
ern represenatlve to investigate and re
organize, if necessary, the Teachers' Re
tirement Fund association,, upon an
nouncement by the association that it
'wished to sever its copartnership with
the hoard. The association will itself
pay the expenses of an investigator, but
objects to reorganization. Under the law
3 per cent of the county school fund goes
into the association, -amounting to from
$17,000 to $18,000 a year. -
TO CONDEMN SITE
Condemnation proceeding's will be in
stituted against Roderick K. Smith for
1 4 acres east of and adjoining the Hud
son school, for which the. board offered
$1125 and was refused.
The board voted to offer the assessed
valuation, plus 60 per cent, for the eight
remaining lots on the Fernwood school
block, and If refused to start' condemna
tion proceedings. Similar action will be
taken in regard to the Ben Riesland
property adjoining the Mount Tabor
school. - .
A communication from the- Child Wel
fare commission, signed by William D.
Wheelwright, chairman, asked that more
-ungraded rooms be supplied In the
schools for retarded children, that all
subnormals be excluded from thai regu
lar schools and be placed at Etna, and
that a psychological and physiological
test be made of every child early In its
school experience. The matter' was re
ferred to Grout.
ARMAMENT KEEPING
(Continued From Pic Ont)
. as to produce goods for export around
the world so that her own revenue from
taxes will Increase and so that interna
tional exchange will tend to become
equalized. Great Britain and France,
who owe America large sums of money
and who have not been able to pay ln
, terost to the United States, are laying
. aside huge sums of money for military
and naval defense, although there Is
faith in the ulUmate ability .of the
, League of Nations to prevent war. Euro
pean countries' will not limit their arma
ments, until all nations. Including the
United States, enter into the .agreement.
The unwillingness of the United-States
to enter the League of Nations and the
controversy about it in th United
States has for the moment prevented an
" understanding about disarmament, but
ALL THE WORLD POOR
"jiA ill
r 111
Irrespective of whether President-elect
Harding decides that he wants America
to join the League of Nations, he has
pledged himself to work for disarma
ment. The League of Nations haa a
special commission at work on the ques
tion of disarmament, but it is doubtful
whether the roovemer will get mucfj
momentum until President-elect Harding
throws the moral force of America be
hind it . ,
FOCB BILLION IS NEEDED
Practically 'every tax expert in Wash
ington can work out a formula whereby
taxes could be reduced . and. Liberty
bonds restored to par if the entire world
agreed not to build any extensive arma
ments but simply to maintain sufficient
for national defense. Secretary Houston
estimated, for Instance, that the Amer
ican government would need $4,000,000.
000 in revenue during the coming yeark
There is a good deal of talk about ex
travagance in government, but when
that $4,000,000,000 estimate is analyzed
his figures are likely to be considered
conservative. Of the $4,000,000,000 at
least 11,000,000,000 must be set aside to
pay the American people the interest on
the Liberty bonds theV hold. Another
$1,000,000,000 will have been spent on
guarantees to . the railroads and other
assistance provided for by the Republi
can congress during the last session in
order to help the railroads out of the
plight they were In when taken over by
the government Jiuring the war. This
leaves $2,000,000,(00 for other purposes.
Pension, war rik Insurance,- mainte
nance of the military and naval estab
lishment and other expenditures grow
ing out of . the war, together with the
$1,000,000,000 that it used to cost to run
the American government before 1914,
consumes the remaining $2,000,000,000.
Moreover, the high coat of commodities
which the government Itself must buy
would, ordinarily have Increased the
government budget beyond the single
billion -even If there were no expenses
Incident to the war. The impression is
that there will be much pruning of ex
penditures during the coming year, but
that It cannot affect the main items
like the sums guaranteed to the rail
roads, the amounts to be spent for the
soldiers and sailors and the $1,000,000,000
that must be paid in interest to Liberty
bond holders. It is the general feeling,
too, that the government will be doing
well if it can cut its expenditures to
$4,000,000,000 and raise that amount of
revenue. Nobody knows Just what the
loss will be on the revenue from excess
profits taxes. The slump In business
will mean considerable reduction in rev
enue. The prospect is that there will be
an insistence on a cut In army and navy
appropriations and things incident to
war making. Should Europe be able to
do the came thing the outlook for lower
taxes, according to officials here, would
be bright indeed.
OIJ WORLD SJOCRECY' SEEMS
DOOMED AT LEAGUE SESSION
By A. E. Johnson
(United News Staff Correspondent)
Geneva, Nov. 19. Beneath the sur
face of the seemingly dispassionate con
ference and debate that haa marked the
reaj formation of the League of Nations
at Geneva, there is still running a vio
lent current of old world, suspicion and
bitterness. There- is, in spite of the
auspicious opening -of the assembly, in
spite of all these speeches promising a
new era ; in .diplomacy, a clash of opin
ion, an attempt at fostering old- world
methods.: a last stand by advocates of
secrecy and closed door statesmanship
against the open covenant principle es
poused by the new world.
To the onlookers 'it appears that the
old world methods 'are doomed. The new
principle was demonstrated with light
ning like suddenness in Thursday's ses
sion, with Japan leading the forces of
liberalism.
FRANCE LEADS TILT
Prance, clinging to the ancient method
throughout a week " of preliminary par-
leying. has Jed the fight to maintain
control of the league in the hands of the
big Wee tern European -powers. The first
important clash came with the creation
of the league's . "steering , committee,"
that powerful organization composed of
13 of the most powerful delegates la the
assembly.
For two days there have been secret
intrigues, secret trades, secret deals by
which places on this important body
were to be apportioned according to .the
wishes of old time statesmen. But while
these private exchanges were going on
the Japanese delegation were strangely
silent.
The reason became known Thursday
afternoon when the assembly convened
to take up the matter of elections to
the "steering committee." It was then
that Hayashi of Japan arose, and, speak
ing in English, frankly declared to the
amazed assembly that Japan- desired one
of the Vice presidencies and a seat on
the bis' committee. He asked the as
sembly,: therefore, to vote for Viscount
Ishii.
JAPANESE TRIUMPHS
'. A shocked silence greeted his words
for a moment It was a breach in the
traditional methods, but when the ballots
were counted, the new idea triumphed
Ishii was elected by the highest number
of votes cast for any candidate.
The Latin nations and Europe have
won control of the vice presidencies.
This bloc worked perfectly from begin
ning of the session continuously to win
over Quinones de Leon of Spain, and
through his efforts the Latins have suc
ceeded In carrying six vice presidencies
and four vice chairmanships Of commis
sions. With the mother country Spain,
de Leon had lined up all the Spanish
speaking nations of Central and South
America.

hours later. The Frenchman sprays
Mrs. Palmer's throat with grace and

t v ACCEPT APPOINTMENT
Salem. Nov. 19. Refusal of Eric V.
Hauser .of Portland to' accept a position
on the state highway . commission, to
which he was appointed by Governor
Ofcott Wednesday -.afternoon following
the resignations of Simon Benson, was
made public ,by the executive office
Thursday. In his telegram, which was
sent from St Paul. Minn., Hauser says:
"Owing to my frequent and possibly
the state would be represented.
The suggestion, though, does not meet
almost continuous' absences from the
state during certain periods of the en
suing year I sincerely regret that it
would be inexpedient for me to accept
appointment on state highway commis
sion. "Oregon owes Simon Benson a heavy
debt of gratitude for the invaluable
services which he has rendered," - de
clared Governor Olcott Thursday, in
commenting on Benson's resignation
from the state highway commission, of
which he has been chairman since - Its
creation in 1917. "He is one of our
greatest and best citizens and aa Ore
gonians know, his services to the state
have by no means been confined to what
he has done, in the way of highway de
velopment But his efforts along that
line alone will make him forever remem
bered by the people of the state. He has
been in a large measure one of the fore
most pioneers In the movement to pull
Oregon out of the mud. His own money,
his time, his services, all have been at
the command or the people of the state
in this enormous undertaking and he has
given of them unstintedly. Mr. Benson
has reared for himself In the hearts of
the people of the state an enduring mon
ument and every man, woman and child
in the state has a just appreciation of
his splendid services so freely given. "
