has been associated in an execu
tive capacity la mills making on

MAIN MEASURE IS
GIVEN TO HOUSE BY
KUBLI, MULTNOMA
House joint resolution No. 1 is the big thing of the ses
sion. It is the big fair measure.
Representative Kubli presented the bill. It is a care
fully drawn measure, representing the best thought that
all the fair exponents could gather in the country. Other
fair measures may come up as substitute, but this is what
the fair friends stake their lives upon.
Briefly, it is an amendment to
the constitution, permitting tin:
state to tax itself for the fair,
through general taxation.
It provides for a $o, 000. 000
levy payable in tho years 1923.
1921 and 1925, or $1, 000, 000
each year.
Representative Kubli of Mult
nomah county was at first In fa
vor of a sales tax. Informally, he
declares himself thus:

easy to collect, and it is so easy

that I favored it. The annual
sales in Oregon run to approxi

tax is u three-year proposition,

Extended arguments for

BUDGET SAFE
1TH SAYS
Six Percent Limitation Not
Exceeded, City Attorney
Telle Pminril
Regarding a recent statement
that the budget for the coming
year exceeded the ) per cent lim
itation, Ray j. Smith, city attor
ney, at the meeting last night of
the city council, said he had pone
into the situation and law thor
oughly, and was satisfied that tho
city council had a right to include
$20,000 is the budget for the
coining year for the building of
sewers.
leaving out the $2 0,000 for
sewers, the figures showed the
city was easily within the G per
cent limitation. But tne city has
full legal authority to spend $20,
on sewers for the cominsr vear.
Mr. Smith said, based on the char- I
ter amendment passed by the city
in a general election held in 19 13.,
Xo Fear Says Kniitit
Mr. Smith said the eitv need
have no fear as to its right to
spend the money and Mayor
George E. Halvorsen, said that the
district attorney had also taken
the stand that the city council
could appropriate the $20,000 for
sewers.
The total amount of the city
budget for the coming year is
$199,873.79. Mr. Smith said. The
revenue of the city is estimated at
$18,430. The bonded indebted
ness and interest to be paid
amounts to $54,924.91. This
leaves a total of $126,518.88 and
if from this amount is deducted
the $20,000 for sewers. the
amount is $106,618.88. a figure
within the 6 per cent limitation.
The whole matter is whether
the city has a ripht to spend
money for sewers, and Mr. Smith,
supported by the district attorney,
holds that by the charter amend
ment of 1913, the city has this
right.

A communication was read
from El Centre, Cal., asking how
a great city like Salem did busi

A committee was appointed to
answer the El Centro .folks. Earl
Race, city recorder, said it was
a fact that the city had paid off
$20,000 on old bridge debts dur
ing the past two years and had
reduced the debt otherwise to the
extent of $30,000 the past year.
Charles A. Lytle wrote the
council stating that he would like
to have the appointment of sani
tary inspector, stating that he had
been a plumber for the past eight
years. No action was taken.
The Oregon Insurance Rating
bureau addressed a communica
tion to the city council regarding
the reduction of insurance rates
should the city purchase a combi
nation pumping and chemical en
gine and hook and ladder truck.

With this new equipment, and
also three more firemen, the in
surance rate on masonry buildings
would be reduced 4 per cent and

Unofficial Report Indicates
That French Premier is
Wiling to Accept Ameri
ca's Estimates.
BRIAND DENIES THAT
POINT IS ACCEDED
Tri-Color Delegates Assert
That Nation's Demand
Must Be Considered
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (lly
The Associated Tress) France
has taken steps to reconcile her
views o:i the naval ratio problem
with those of the other powers,
but her precise attitude, now th
crucial issue of the arms negotia
tions remains in doubt.
Unofficial advices from abroad
today indicated Premier Briand
had decided to accept the Ameri
can proposal for a French capital
ship, fleet of 175.000 tons in place
or the ,150.000 ton plan drawn
by the French delegation.
Secretary Hughes, as chairman
of the arms conference, also re
ceived from the premier a ommu
nicatlon construed at the state de
partment as meaning that the
French group had been directed to
accede to the American program.
Delegates Deny Change.
But the French delegates did
not so construe a lone tnessaee
oof instructions received from the
premier. They described it as ad
vising them to go as far toward
myelins the American views as
tney could without sacrifice of
French national Interests. If was
said not' to embody a specine ue-
cision nor tq make reference to
any specific tonnage plan.
With the negotiations in that
situation Mr. Hufihffea and Albert
Sarraut. head of the French dele
gation, held a long conference l ite
today. It was said only that the
conversations were preceeding and
that there was a mutual expecta
tion of ultimate agreement
Optimism Is Xotetl.
In other quarters, also, there
was apparent a distinct note of
optimism despiie the day's mystl
ryiiiR developments. Among Amer
ican officials, an almost unani
mous belief prevailed that France
eventually would take the Ameri
can figure for her capital ship al
lotment even though she insisted
on an increase of submarine ton
nage as an offset. For the mo
ment, the negogtiations are con
cerned solely with capital ships
and to many delegates a five pow
er agreement on that subject does
not seem far away.
There were many, indications
that with fiiy recession on the
(apital ship question, the French
would attempt to associate some
form of assurance that they will
be given the privilege of increas
ing their submarine strength.
Abandon Obsolete Tjes.
It is not improbable that the
French representatives also will
want such a modification of the
naval holiday ilyn as will permit
ihem to replace their obsolescent
battleships with vessels of the
post-Jutland type so far as they
can build them within the speci
fied tonnage limit. Because of the
war, the French naval experts de
clare their fleet is badlv in need
of replacements. A replacement
provision would not be a surprise
in the final French program ac
cepted by the other powers.
As the capi'tal ship problem
verges toward a decision the naval
experts are giving more and more
of their attention to the submar
ine questions as one likely to pre
sent a troublesome knot.
Palis Watches Driand.
Although the French capital
hip disciiSi-ions simmered down
at their crucial stage to direct ex
chances between Mr. Hughes and
Premier Briand, it was learned to
day thai the American delegates
reieatcdly had sought to impress
on the French representatives in
informal conferences the necessity
ror a withdrawal of the 350,000
ton plan.
In these behind the scenes con
sultations, the French were told
that they were proceeding on a
false basis, which should be de
stroyed before it would be pos
sible to erect any sound structure
to shelter the conceptions of relief
of the world from the heavy bur
dens of competitive naval in
creases. Purjxes Recited.
But on the other band it was
pointed out, America had the right
to recall to the French mind the
primary purpese of the conference
to which France had subscribed.
That purpose, it was said, was not
to fix what should be the naval
