The French parliament, chain ler and senate. today approved the government declarations on the decisions of the supreme council respecting reparations, disarmament and oth or question. It received Premier Hriaud's declaration .with signs that promise a, large majority In tho vote of confidence which the Briand cabinet will, seek tomor row. Andre Tardieu, former high commissioner to the United States bad given notice of an interpflla tion. This apimared to be. taken most seriously by the government but was a moderate attack against the cabinet, especially M. La trhenr.-and on the haste France had displayed to settle matters concerning the 1'niled States le fore the new administration was Installed. Criticizing the Paris conference he declared: "There can be no capitaliza tion, mobilization or discounting of the German debt until the united States is a party to the agreement." Decisions of the allied confer ence, he asserted, were embodied In the Versailles treaty. The con. ference, he continued, was use less. All that might have been done was to hold the Germans strictly to the treaty. Article 240 of the treaty settled Germany's financial obligations; article 23$ provided for the man ner in which the indemnity must be paid and for turning the mat ter over to the raparations com mission, he said. With reference to disarmament no deliberations were needed except an enforce ment of the treaty. W 1th respect to penalties, article 270 provided for the seizure of the German customs. M. Briand informed the depu ties that the-KOvernment "has is nowise renounced the purpose of collecting the entire debt due from Germany if she recovers her economic prosperity." Germany would have to pay the limit of her capacity, be said. The declaration was received with business like, silence. M. Briand. Tardieu, Margaine. La Cotte and the communist leader, M. Cachin. presented their argu ments much as might to hoard or directors of a financial organiza tion. M. Tardieu will continue tomorrow, when M. Loucher, min ister of finance, who was attacked will reply. Then M. Briand will answer M. Cachin. who read the declaration of the communists.

This H a tale and tihow of Duroc swine, -and is under the auspices of the Oregon Duroc Jersey Breeders' associa tion, tts chief object is the pro motion of the breed and. the dis tribution of valuable breeding an imals throughout tha country. Xo greater number than two hogs were accepted from any one breeder, and at first the consign ers were confined to Oregon breed ars only; however, at this sale there were bogs shown from Washington and -Idaho breeders. By having the hogs judged by a competent judge, much of an ed ucational nature is brought out, as the judge explains wherein one hog excels the other and ex plains the desired . type. The auction sale causes a wider dis tribution of the hogs than would be secured otherwise and by thus developing new breeders a great good is done the industry and the state at large.

' Then the first prize winners of younger classes were pitted against each other in the same way and the winner declar ed the junior champion; and then these two great winners were pit ted against ach other and the winner was grand champion.

Charging that because of the opposition of one member of the senate judiciary committee, who t a Portland attorney, his bill to increase the fees of litigants in Multnomah county for the benefit of the Multnomah law library had been amended without consulting fcim. Senator Hume yesterday moved reconsideration of the sen ate's action in adopting the com mittee report. For benefit of the library the bill as Introduced provided that plaintiffs in civil suits pay a -fee of $2. in addition to the amount provided by law and that defend ants pay $1 in addition. As am ended. Hume paid the purpose of the bill is. utterly destroyed. The law library, he declared, is in fin ancial distress. The Multnomah senator on the judiciary commit tee, he declared; is opposed to the bill merely because he "had a row with a member of the associ ation.' Senator Hume said the bill had been drawn by Judge Charles H. Carey and that in Portland there lis no opposition to It. Senator Moi?r. chairman of the judiciary committee, said Hume had been heard in the committee buyer was Mr. and that he had conferred with CH TALKS TO MITT ASS'I Soils and Their Relation to Crops is Subject 01 Address As a result of an appearance. made before the ways and means committee last night by Repre sentatire Pat Gallaahnr and Sun ley Jewett. head of the biological survey, department of predatory animals in thia district, it is evl dent that a bill will be introduced in the legislature to do away with the bounty law as far as it affects coyotes and establish the plan of co-operation with the federal government by which hunters are employed to wage war on the prairie wolf. Neither Representative Galla gher nor Mr. Jewett appeared with this in mind, but to speak tn behalf of another bill ot Galla gher's. However, when assertions were made both by the speakers and members of the committee that the bounty law is a failure and that fraud Is perpetrated hally upon the state. Senator Pat terson and others asked for aa estimate of the appropriation that would be required to eliminate coyote bounties and co-operate with the government instead. Jewett placed this at $75,000 for two years. The upshot was that Senators Eberhard and Upton. representing eastern Oregon. and Representative Pierce, repre senting western Oregon, were ap pointed a committee to study the onestlon and ooasiblr frame a program.

He declared the secretary of the library associa tion and the secretary of the State Bar association had asked that the fees called for in the bill.be reduced. Hume claimed he had letter from Judge Carey pro testing at the amendment. "1 don't know just what Judge Carey has said, for I haven't seen him for two weeks." f,aid Moser, "but I do not consider that In the busy hours of this session It is necessary for the members ot tne judiciary committee to go to Portland and hunt up all mem bers of the association." Senator Banks apparently was the senator to whom Hume re ferred. He charged that tn law library is a private corporation and that Hume Is one of the stock holders. "If the libraty were to burn dewn tomorrow the stockholders could divide the money and go where they choose," said nanks. I contend and have insisted to Judge Carey and others that sine the public contributes to the s- rary it should be transferred by Its stockholders to Muitnoiuan county." Banks objected to the IZ Tee required of lawyers patronizing the library. "The private stock holders." he Faid. "have arrogat ed to themselves the right to con tinue collecting the fee contrary to a law of 1917."! Banks recited a; personal ex perience to illustrate the asser tion. "At that time." shouted Banks. "I determined that: if I lived un til the next legislature I would r?medr the difficulty.' Senator Joseph ridiculed Banks. "He nexlected to tell yon." Jo seph said, "that he had a personal quarrel In the library, une aay I was going past the library when I saw something come hurtling from the door. At first I thought it was a sack of pumpkins, but on e'eser observance I found it was Luther J. Cbapin of the Salem Kings Products company, was the principal speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Marlon County Realty Dealers association, held yesterday noon at the Marion ho tel. Because of his thorough knowledge of the various types of soil, the subject of "What the Real Estate Men Should Know About Soils" was very ably han died by Mr. Chapln. His address was nlstruetlve and Interesting to real estate dealers. That the ne cessity of ascertaining what a buy er wished to grow, whether grains fruits or vegetables, comes before the sale of nroperty. In order that the rlRht type of soil should be purchased, was strongly empha sized by the speaker. "Too many people come to this country and buy a hammer, and when a man buys a hammer he has a right to use It," Mr. Cbapin said by way of impressing this fact. The ordinary method of analy sis of soil was explained and the Droduce best suited to the three general soil classifications, clay, silt and sand, explained to the as sociation, that creditable and in telligent sales might b- the result, as the physical texture of the soil has much to do with its produc tiveness. Mr. Chapin spoke of the soil moisture required in the different soils in order that a productive Louisiana, unon demand of the system, is asking the state for . aUer ror proof of his statements $22,500 for the bienninra. Rep resentative Gallagher's purpose before the committee was to urge his bill calling for an appropria tion of $50,000 for the next two years for destruction of animal that destroy livestock and crops. He proposes that this amount in clude the $22,500 asked for by the sanitary board, that half of the $50 000 be used by the sani tary board to destroy predatory animals preying on livestock and the other half be usd by Oregon Agricultural college to carry Its war upon the .rodent pests. (JalUglter Allcer Fraud Relative to frauds alleged to be perpetrated upon the state Gallagher declared that Oregon is every day paying bounties on scalps of animals brought across the line from California. Nevada and Idaho Senator Eberhard Inquired ot Mr. Jewett if it were true as re ported that most cf the employed government hunters are boot leggers and spend much of their time loafing around town drink ing moonshine. "Every man Is hired on two months' probation." replied Jew that a sugar trust existed. Four or five senators went to Mr. Me Kellars aid. but JM. (Ransdell declined to be convinced, con cluding that b? would "neither deny nor affirm the existence of such a trust." The Tennesse-s senator, chal lenged supporters of the bill to show how it would aid the farm ers, asserting that little ot their products remained on the farm. He declared that the proposed tariff on sugar would mean only that congress was "legislating money into the pockets of the sugar trust." and estimated that on three necessities, meats, flour and sugar, the country wonld be taxed between $1,500,000,000 and $2,000,000,000. "Senators have admitted that this bill Is going to help the spec ulators and the profiteers more than any body else. The senator from Kansas knows It. too. yet I suppose he will vote for It. I want to say that If he does, after the speech he baa made, he will have to hold bis nose." Senator McLea. Republican.

Mr. McLean replied that while it might cause an In crease in prices, he felt the bet ter course would be for the eoun- ralnfall be stored up the best pos sible crops could not be produced here. Therefore it was advisable that the moisture of the witter months should be stored. That the soli Is in crynig need of organic matter and that lime is of the greatest assistance, was pointed out. and therefore should be extensively used. Mr. Chapln nlaced exceptional stress on the truth that, "sub-soil is oi more im portance thaa surface soil" and that land should be plowed at least 12 inches deep. In this war the storage capacity of the soil could be determined. It was shown that finer polls hold the moisture better than the coarser and thatdrainage Increases mois ture capacity. At the close of the address Mr. ChaDln was Questioned for further information on the subject. To a tqu-?8tlan on the percentage of moisture that could be retalnea m the soil he replied that from 30 to 40 per cent could be held. L. G.
