FRENCH B
ENGLAND
LAUSANNE, Jan. 30. (By the Associated Press)
Complications suddenly arose ainong the allied representa-,
tivea at the Near East peace conference at a late Hour tonight
when the French delegation announced that it had decided
to remain at Lausanne as . long as there was any hope of
carrying on successful negotiations with, the Turks.
The British delegation considered the decision of the
French as a flagrant violation of thev understanding reached
between the allies a few days ago that all of them would
leave Lausanne at the end of the week if the Turks did not
sign tomorrow' the treaty which has been handed them.
: All the British, delegates announced officially tonight
that that they would adhere to this program, whatever the
other allied delegations decided to do. Earl Curzon will start
for. London Friday.
DIVIDING DF
Separation of Tax Levying
from Tax Spending Group
Is Advocated by Day
The only way to put a brake
on tthe public expenditures Is to
separate the tax-levying . bodies
from "the tax-spending bodies. I.
N. Day, chairman of the state tax
investigating commission appoint
ed by Governor Olcott told mem
bers of the joint assessment and
taxation committee.
Day was speaking in ' behalf of
the proposed bill J to extend the
tax. supervising and conservation
commission to every county in the
state, with authority equivalent to
that now exercised by the . com
mission in Multnomah county.
Most Pnt on Brake
The committie considered all
of the bills proposed by, the state
tax investigation j commission and
one presented by the state ' audit
commission.; but did not vote on
final reports on the bills.
"Unless some drastic action is
taken by this legislature," said
pay, who divided honors wrlth Dr.
James W.. Gilbert of the Univers
ity of Oregon in' explaining the
various bills,' "the; people .will de
nounce ' the members, when as a
matter ; of fact j there is almost
nothing that can be done at this
end. Put , a brake on the tax
levying organizations, of which
there are about 2800 in the state,
and there will be an actual re
duction In governmental costs."
Assessments Discussed
One of the most Important sub
jects discussed last night was that
of -uniform assessments through
out the state, during which it was
shown that variations amounting
to, as much as 400 to 30Q per cent
in the assessed valuation' ot iden
tical subjects were found in, ad
joining'' counties. K It is proposed
to have all assessors- subject to
the authority of the state tax com
mission and required to confer
annually In order; to equalize as
sessments and see-that all assess
ments are made on 100 per cent'
valuation. . :

BODIES URGED
DANCER
ECi
TO LEA V
The British protest against the
French decision is based on a
statement issued by the British
delegation last week. This was to
tho effect that the treaty would
be presented to the Turks tor sig
nature on Wednesday and that the
allied delegations had , agreed to
depart Friday; if the Turks asked
further time to consider the
treaty, then the conference . was
to adjourn, but the plenipotenti
aries .would be ready to return to
Lausanne 'when there were indi
cations the negotiations could be
brought to a successful conclu
sion. , ...r.,,.r.":. ...t-irw...,
It is insisted by the statement
that the sub-commissions unani
mously agreed to omit the clause
giving privileged treatment to for
eign merchants! ent In ; Turkish
coast traffic, but nevertheless this
clause has been included jn the
draft treaty to the detriment ot
Turkish sovereignty. f
Generally speaking, says. . the
statement, "the allies treaty is
worse than anything we ever ex
pected." ; , - , , ,t, , b ' .
"The conclusion of a system of
legal advisers who would sit, aF
.judges in cases Involving foreign-
era is absolutely inacceptable. It
means that Turkey would ; be
treated as Inferior to Albania."
Causes Sensation
The . revolt against the British
plan .haR been i steadily growing
this week, the ground being tak
en that it would be liable to im
peril the chances of peace bfrcauso
it was too much in' the nature of
an ultimatum. vjf j U J
The British protest of tonight
caused a tremendous ' sensation.
It immediately switched general
interest away , from Near t past
peace negotiations to the ques
tion what is to happen between
the allies when the conference re
sumes tomorrow. .
It is understood the Italian del
egation had "adopted the same at
titude as the; French and will re
main in Lausanne while there is
any hope of making peace.
s.i The Franco-British complica
tion appeared to bring consider
able satisfaction, to Turkish ctr
cles here. The Turkish delegation
was busily employed throughout
the night in preparing counter
proposals to the draft treaty with
tho idea of forcing the allies to
continue negotiations without ! an
adjournment; of the conference.

Laws Fired at
,LOS AN'GELES, Jan. ,30.
Government war fraud indict

laws drew! sharp criticism in the
opening session hero today of the
Fourth annual convention of the
Associated General Contractors
ot America.
Adoption of a committee re
port condemning "the utter
recklessness" ctf the recent de
partment of - justice . action
agaist contractors and others ac
cused of frauds, in connection
with, the" construction of army
cantonments during the war was
accompanied by , a demand for
the early prosecution of those
indicted.
- Criticize Indictments
"It would be an outrageous
thing for the government to de
lay one unnecessary hour," de
clared Arthur S. Bent, president
of the contractors' organization.
"If politics or any, other sinister
motive lies back of the, matter
vie shall see delay after delay, in
the prosecution. Tme surest1 way
to uncover the truth is to rush
hard: for immediate action." I
Four 'of the men indicted, Ben
edict Crowell, former assistant
secretary - of war; William A
Starred Morton C. Tuttle and
Clement W. Lundoff are . mem
bers of the Associated General
Contractors.
Criticism of tho existing Im
migration laws by which immi
gration from Europe is limited to
three per cent or the residents
of each nationality now register
ed in t this country came out in
the , report ot the committee on
legislation which . characterized
Jthe three per cent law as an
"exclusion act" which was "re
sponsible for the great and ever
growing shortage of common
labor."

a - federal immigration board to
include the secretaries of agri
culture, commerce, labor, state
and interior, which would ad
minister an immigration law

A census taken by the prin
cipals "of all the schools ot Sa
lem has brought out the dis
quieting fact that there are 312
pupils who while not sub-normal
are still . enough backward
to need special teaching, special
classes. Whiltt , the . survey work
has not been done on a strictly
scientific basis by one official
who will judge all on one uni
form standard, it has been pains
takingly done .and It 'represents
a condition that the i school board
feels must be remedied in some
way. It is the condition' as
sumed by House Bill -No. 43,
now pending in the legislature,
to empower , school boards to
give such pupils especial atten
tion, both for their own good
and for tbegood of the others
who may be heM down in their
work to the pace of he slower
ones.' .
With these figures In sight,
the Salem board, which met last
night, endorsed the bill .now

to provide . .special accennmoda
t'ons for these less' agile pupils.

The boys wanted to carry on

the boys who are not of the

have been working down In the
prmory gymnasium. The board
took , the position that" It would
be, better to have them at home,
arid, so they are : to bp given
quarters , and encouragement to

ing. The board went up at 10
o'clock last night,' through the

and they wouldn't dare to pound
the floor very! hard without using
gas masks or ! coal miners' breath-
