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

M. Cachin. presented their argu

in Sajem yesterday. This H a tale

under the auspices of the Oregon
Duroc Jersey Breeders' associa

motion of the breed and. the dis
tribution of valuable breeding an

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.
Judged by Talmadze.
The Durocs commenced arriv

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

and that Hume Is one of the stock
holders.
"If the libraty were to burn

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

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

tion.
"At that time." shouted Banks.
"I determined that: if I lived un

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,

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
