WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The

ing toward a complete approval by
the plenipotentiaries of the several
powers represented at the arms con
ference, la based upon a desire for
"maintenance of general peace" and
for reduction of armament competi

The treaty proper is divided Into
three chapters, the first containing
20 articles, the second is divided Into
four parts providing for capital
shlps'to be retained, with rules for
scrapping tonnage, replacement, and
definitions. Chapter three with mis
cellaneous provisions contains ar
ticles relative to common action
should any power desire the treaty's
modification or In case a signatory
power becomes involved In war.

Operation of the American Legion
building on a fee basis for the com
ing six months will be recommended
to the membership" of Percy A. Stev
ens Post No. 4 tonight by the exe
cutive committee, as a result of un
animous action taken at a meeting
at noon today. If the post ratifies
this decision, the building will be
closed except when rented, used by
the Legion for entertainments, and
for bowling and swimming on a fee
basis.
This decision was arrived at by
the executive committee only after
its proposition to the school board
was turned down last night. I'p to
that time several members of the
committee had held to a belief that
the athletic club could be made to
pay jts own way. Following the an
nouncement irom tne school Doara
that no funds were available for pro
viding further use of the building
for school activities, all became con
vinced that the athletic club could
not be maintained further.

gram To Ite Considered.
Consideration of economy meas
ures, a fe-w of which were endorsed
last night, will constitute the chief -business
to come before the Bend
school board at its next regular meet
ing. Expenses which may be elim
inated will mean reductions of $22,
800, approximately 19 per cent, bat
will mean an efficiency loss of 25 per
cent, according to a schedule com
piled by City Superintendent S. W.
Moore, which will be the basis for de
liberations at the next session of the
directors. Drastic paring of previ
ously estimated expenditures Is made
necessary by the adverse vote taken
at the recent budget election, making
it impossible for the school levy to
exceed the six per cent statutory lim
itation. Heading the list of economies is
the board's decision made last night
to accept no mid year beginning pri
mary enrollments. This will mean
that children ready to enter the city
schools must wait until next fall, but
it will also save the hiring of two
teachers. Elimination of night school
was ordered, saving approximately
$300. Reassignment of teachers was
made, dropping two not under con
tract from the list. This represents
an economy of $240 per month.
To Xnrrow Study Course
According to proposed reductions
which will come up at the next ses
sion, Jill commencement expenses. In
cluding speakers, will be done away
with, and gymnasium dates may be
cancelled, saving $300. Elimination
of school athletics, and with this the
cost of athletic supplies, estimated
at $430, will also be seriously con
sidered. Changes contemplated in the
courses of study, faculty, and admin
istration are for the dismissal of the
truant officer, school nurse, and
music supervisor, and the dropping
of the manual training and domestic
science departments. These last two
represent $11500 annually, the nurse
and music supervisor having com
bined salaries of $3500 a year. The
Carroll Acres school may be aban
doned, transportation for pupils to
the Kenwood school being furnished

QVBSTIOX OF GEOGRAPHY
(Baker Herald)
Upstate papers have honored the
fourteen senators who held oat ,
against the Portland fair finance tax :
legislation by calling them "the faith
ful fourteen." In Portland they are- -
called the "willful fourteen." Seems
to be a matter of geography.
On the return of the upstate mem
bers to their homes from the spe
cial session, they were in most every
Instance, given receptions by their
constituents and congratulated for ,
standing out against the proposed
tax measures in the Interest of the
taxpayers.
In Umatilla county the action of
Roy Rltner, president of the senate,
was endorsed at a large banquet at
which representative men from all
parts of the county were present.
At this banquet it was also decided
to run Senator Ritner for reelection.
So warmly is his action endorsed in
that county that it seems he will have
no opposition in the primaries. Colon
Eberhard and Bruce Dennis were
given nn ovation by the Union County
Ad club at La Grando.
In Baker county the endorsement
of the actions of both Senntor Stray
er and F. L. Hubbard in the special
session, is practically unanimous, and
the classing of Senator Strayer as one
of the "willful" Is amusing here,
where he is known as "fulthful" in .
every wny, nnd It Is to the voters of.
Baker county that he is beholden, so
why should he worry over what bo
Is called In Portland?
