Chairman Fordney said Air. Mel lon would be mailed to discuss 'railroad financing. It Is expected, ' however, that the secretary will be questioned about some revisions made in the , . original memorandum .1 presented on Monday. It is understood ad ditions have been made to Ahe original document following con ferences among treasury officials. Republican members of the committee tield two extended ses Blons today, discussing with R. T. Adams, a treasury tax expert, the grouping of administrative fea tures of the bill and. other chang es which would make for simplifi , cation in determining taxes. Vclay la Probable The extent to which the law Is to be rewritten 'by the committee remains to be determined, but if the suggestions made by treasury experts are followed 'the old bill will be largely rewritten. This probably would.', delay1 its presen tation to the bouse considerably .beyond the time heretofore ex r pected. .

The samo policy was sugges ted to other- departments with which ' the governor's office has no direct connection. About 95 per cent of the heads of state departments and institu tions have fallen over themselves in gathering to the support of the governor in this new pol'cy and in unison shouted "Aye, aye. sir," when the captain of the good ship of state laid down the principle that junketing jaunts outside of Oregon should cease.

S IS MENTIONED Praise Given Disarmament Congress But Nation Pro ceeds With Building LONDON, Aug. 3. Discussing the naval estimates in the house of commons today Lieut. Col. L. C. Amery, parliamentary secre tary of the admiralty, announced , that the four replacement ships ' the government proposed to build ; would be battle cruisers of thai Hood type, armed with'' 16-inch guns and designed to obviate the j ntea oi larger aocit yaras tnaa exist. ' Claim No Challenge. Contending tliat there was no element Of challenge or provoca tion in this policy of replacing ob solete ships, he said it was sim ply a policy circumscribed with in the narrowest limits and post poned to the very latest date con sistent with the empire's safety. Alluding to the building pro grams of the United States and Japan, Colonel Amery argued that the admiralty by proposing com pletion of, only these four ships by 1925, was laying itself open to the charge of accepting the risk that the British navy would tem porarily be inferior in strength to the navies of other powers, but the government was faring this risk to avoid any step tending to invite fresh competition on the eve of a disarmament conference "Will Not Junlc Ships." The object of the conference, he said, was to endeavor to secure by agreement no further expan sion of the navies of the thre , greatest naval powers, but as it was quite unlikely that the other powers participating would offer to scrap ships already built or under construction, it was obvi ous that the building of thses four ships, or even twice their number, -could not affect the problem before the conference. His statement was followed by nn animated discussion involving many references to the relative positions of Great Britain, the United States and Japan and re vealing the intense interest taken in the proposed Washington con ference. Winston Spencer Churchill, sec retary for the colonies, replying for the government, made refer ence to the big building program in both the United States and Japan. He contended tha,t there could be no conceivable cause for Still the fact remained that if England delayed another year the construction of necessary vital units she would have to face a position of definite and rrhaps final naval inferiority; she would sink to third naval power and bavins; sunk there, might never be ablp to recover. Waknejs Is Pictured "We should exist hs a great power in the world only on siit terance." he continued. "We. have never done that. Profound peace might continue to rule for irany years but during that peace every one would know Great Britain's day was done. Everywhere it would be known that the essential foundation of the British empire had been erased and that this is land, depending for four-fifths of its food anil all of its economic wealth and being as a ntodenl state upon sea-borne commerce, was powerless to keep itself alive, except by good will. That would be a melancholy sequel to the great war. 1 "High hopes are based on the Washington conference for the benefit of mankind but unless we can assume that the ships now b"Uding in America and Japan will be scrapped then no disarm ament proposal which -might be agreed on at Washington, would relevant to the decision this houso must take on the construction of these four ships. "The one power standard is the barest minimum England can con ceivably adopt and delay already has occurred ' which ; has reduced that minimum to the finest poss'ir ble margin.

George A. White, adju tant general of Oregon, the na tional guard citizen soldlera of the state will be required to wear the "Sam Browne" belt. This was ordered by General Tershlng about a month ago, but the order in Oregon was held up In hope that some way would be found whereby it would not be neces sary for the citizen soldiery to use the ornament, which White regards as too European. While the war was in progress American officers overseas were required to use the belt which had been in use by Kuropean armies since mediaeval days. Of ficers in the United States, how ever, were not permitted to use the belt, the penalty for wearing it being courtmartlal. and those who returned wjth it from over seas were required to remove it.

This makes one-half cent a gallon for the enrde oil, which is easily comparable to the 2-cent rot-for the finished, refined gas. The re duction tendency is nation-wide. The now jobless man who had from $6 to 20 a day while be was buying his car and his good time, will save quite a lot of mon ey on thi? 2-ent cut of gas. He can drive almost 7 per cent great er distance on the same money that th-j flivver was costing only, the day before. If the same per centage of cut were to prevail daily, tor, say a month, the coun try would almost forget that there had ever been a war. ss Shutting Down of War-time Industries;, Cut Down Number of Accidents' A decrease in the number of claims filed with the state In dustrial v accident commission is shown for -the.' -year ending June 30, 1921, as compared with the previous year. The closing down of the war industries is held ac countable for the decrease. The number of claims for the laM year totaled 20,456, as compared with 21.378 the previous year. ' Of the total number of acci dents reported to the commission for the. year ending June 30, this year, 13H were fatal, as against 1.7 for the' year before. Claims awaiting adjustment totaled 990 on June 30. " The state was relieved of pro viding compensation for a total of 21 widows during the year be cause of their re-marriage.
