process will consist only of the for
mality of voting the retention of

While the recommendations of
Chief Moffitt call for one more of

tention of the police committee of
the council to approve, It Is ex
pected that the program will be
endorsed.
As it will be presented to the
council, the proposal that the po
lice force he maintained at the
past strength of seven men nun
that the department be provided
with an emergency motorcycle and
sidecar will still enable tile council
to keep the expenses of police de
partment within the $10,000 appro
priated in the. budget to the depart
ment. The proposition, summarized,
calls for seven police officers hired
on a flat monthly salary of $lft
per month fur the entire year and
the purchase oi. a motorcycle and
sidecar costing $750.
To take care of the $500 excess
over the budget appropriation for
police salaries, which would exist
at the end of the year on the seven
man program, and to pay for the
emergency motorcycle, the money
would be taken out of the fints
paid into the general fund of the
city through activity of the police

Not until the fines for traffic law

Tokio, Jan. 10. Government of
ficials have not as yet made public
the text of the American note pro

val Lieutenant W. H. Langdon. by
a Japanese sentry at Vladivostok.
Publicists, however, express the be
lief that Washington has not only
asked reparation with guarantees
removing a probability of Until
incidents in the future, but also has
again pointed out to Japan the wis
dom of reducing, if not withdraw
ing altogether her troops from the
country where she possesses no
sovereign right, but the litteral of
which is dominated by her military
power.
This would open the old thorny
question which Japan herself ha?
been finding difficulty in settling
A division of opinion exists in gov

problem, it is reported here. Lead
era of the military party insist Ja
panese troops should remain in Si
beria, while the peace part is seek
ing ways and means to abandon
any adventure which, it is claimed,
is ruinously expensive anil without
hope of compensation. The Im
pression exists hen that Japan will
insist upon solving the question in
her own way and at her own time,
if for no other reason than to as
sert the doctrine that she is para

The Hara cabinet appears to re

it will survive the imcpnding ses

Erratic Fountain on State
Serves Thirsty and Dirty
Cleanliness, no doubt, is a first cousin to Godliness. But there
are many to rise and insist that it has no direct connections
with htat great institution, Thirstiness. And when one orders a
drink and, instead, receives a bath, Godliness is about the only
preventative for considerable wordiness.
On State at Liberty there is a fount, obviously intended for the
thirsty, rather than the dirty. Perhaps the oldest white man will
Insist that, in the beginning, it had four water outlets. But now
The uninitiated approaches, pleased in a fashion, that he is to
quench his thirst in the manner common to the period. He turns
a faucet and is rewarded by a forceful stream up his sleeve. He
tries another. This time his coat is merely drenched. His spirits
and right arm somewhat dampened, he turns a third. It is a
general spray, such as may be purchased with any modern bath
tub. But the fourth works. No doubt this is an over-sight.
Ami there are many who come to drink and remain to swear.

French Papers
Enthuse Little
About Briand
Tai ls, Jan 1" Little enthusiasm
was evinced today by newspapers
Of Paris over the new Briand cabi
net. Most journals expressed mild
satisfaction or reserved judgment.
The signifance of the appoint
ment of Briand as premier was not
lost upon the people. They recall
ed his friendship with Ceorges
Clemenceau. M. Briand always has
insisted that the treaty must be
carried out and that the Interests
of France in the Near East mus be
served.
He is known to have viewed the
return of Constantine as a circum
stance w hich should be used to her
profit by Trance.
The radical tendencies of the new
premier are subject of comment
here, his early association with
John Leon Jaures, the socialist
leader assassinated in 1914. being
one of the salient features of his
advance in politics. French social
ism may find in M. Briand a man
who can do much toward uniting
factions and saving the party as a
political power.
Th- m-dichsal s.-i:ns at L 'e n

Senate Votes Repeal
Of Act Providing for
Board of Examiners
Wasting no time upon prelimi
naries the senate got down to busi
ness this morning after a rest of
three days and started down the
line on third reading and final con
sideration of the numerous bills
which had accumulated in the
opening days of the session last
week.
Senate bill No. 1 by Eberhard,
providing for the repeal of the law
6t 1 920 creating the board of auto
mobile mechanics examiners, was
the first to be presented for action
by the senate which gave It unani
mous approval. As explained by
.Senator Kbcrhard his bill simply
sought to remove from the statute
books accumulated driftwood, the
supreme court having declared the
act of 1920 unconstitutional. The
refund of more than $6000 paid in
as fees under the provisions of the
act will be considered by the leg
islature ways and means commit
tea, Governor Olcott having recom
mended such action In his message.
Another bit of driftwood was re
moved from the statute books In
the repeal of the act of 1913 limit
ing the bonded indebtedness of
counties for road purposes to 2 per
cent. This repeal was effected
through the provisions of senate
bill 13 also by Kberhard, who ex
plained that, although absolete
superseded by the act of 1917 In
creasing this indebtedness limita
tion to 6 per cent the old act had
already proved a serious stumbling
block to road work In this state,
pointing to the case of H.uvley vs.
Clackamas county in which the su
preme court's opinion, based on
this act, had declared the $1,700,
00 bond issue of the county to be
Invalid as exeeding the 2 per cent
limitation allowed under the "act.
A subsequent opinion of the court,
it was explained, had reversed this
position, declaring; the act of 191.1
absolete and the later act as oper
ative. Other hills passed by the senate
this morning were:
8. B. 2. by Mberhard Amending
section 1027; Oregon laws, relating
to appointment of special district
attorneys.
S. ti. 2H, by Patterson Amend
ing section 21, Oregon laws, relat
ing to limitation of time of bring
ing new action after reversal of
Judgment.

Growers Sell
Million Pounds
Mistland Prunes
M; re than 1.000,000 pounds of
Mlslland prunes were sold the past
week by the Oregon cirowcrs Co
operative association and the Wash
inglon Growers Packing Corpora
tion, according to R. C, Paului,
salts manager.
The Washington growers are a
group of men interested in prunes
in (Mark county, Wn., and who are
orgwnlied under the cooperative
plan.
The spot market on prunes In
Xew York has been cleaning up
rapfdly on Oregon prunes, Mr.
I'aulus says. Sales are also being
made in quite a number of other
cities where the two associations
have stocks in storage.
Foi the first time In almost
Ihni months, sales wefe made on
a f o b coast basis. Formerly sales
were made from Ihe stocks in stor
igi In the east.
The prices receive,! were low,
compared to the opening prices of
the association. Hut it was deemed
idVJaaMc by both associations 10
til ;: large amount at present,
rather than to miss the large eon
tUfhing period of the next thive
UU uths.
I'nder ordinary circumstance!,
it requires from 20 to 25 days 101
i car of prunes shipped from Ore
gon to reach New York city. Hence
in older to get the business of the
next three months, It was ttiougtit
best to sell a large quantity the
pgal week. By shipping now. the
pri-ms will arrive In plenty of
time for late winter consumption.
Inquiries from the east recently
have been mostly for large sizes,
but lstely from nil parts of the
a, inquiries have been for all
sizcr.
T nr low price received for the
pri-nes MM caused by the fact lhai
the spot market jn the east has
e, ., declining due to the fact that
cerla'n coast packers were quoting
extremely low prices.
Mr. Paulus says that It Is prob
able that other sales of Mistland
pi gnu will be made as there Is
: aieiabl- inquiry from the east,
and that several deals are already
pending.

The Creeks are reported to be

A new avenue of professional en
deavor for women, as "denial hy
gienists." is provided for in a bill to
be introduced In the house today by
Charles F. Hopkins of Roseburg,
representative from Douglas anil
Jackson counties.
This bill provides that any reg
istered or licensed dentist may em
ploy woman assistants of good
moral character who shall he
known as "dental hyglenists." They
may remove lime deposits, accre
tion! and stains from the exposed
surface of the teth and directly be
neath the fro margin of the gum,
but shal not perform any other op
eration on the teeth or mouth or
any diseased tissues of the mouth.
These dental hyglenists are to
be licensed after examination by
the state board of dental examiners
for which a fee of li is to be
charged. '
Hopkins says this bill is to be In
troduced at the request of numnr
ouh dentists of Oregon who see the
open field for a legally recognised
profession of this sort for women.
Repeal of Quarter Mill
Levy Is Requested;
Would Use Money
For Schools
Eefore the joint assembly of the
legislature this afternoon dovernor
Olcott read a special message ad
vocating the repeal of the. annual
state road levy of a quarter mill,
the remnant of the old system of
highway financing, which thi bi
ennlum will yield $!20,000 and the
diversion of the money so obtained
for institutional purposes, $300.00)
for the boys training school, the
balance, if unappropriated, to leas
en the tax burdens of the people.
"The expenditure of 300.000,
says the governor, "would estab
lish a training school which woulrC.
be a credit to the state and which:
would, by reformation of the boya
and the estallshment of good citi
zenship in them, yield vast finan
cial return In decreasing the eoat
the state would otherwise be put to
maintaining a large number oC
them in the penitentiary during the;
years to come' -
He preceded the reading of the
message by regretting the publicity
and attendant surmises and con
jectures that preceded it as creat
ing the thought that something;
spectacular was on the boards,
when the reverse was the case-
Nevertheless he considered thet
subject a most Important one. and
boys worth as much care and at
tention as bestowed by legislatures'
upon cows, horses and pigs, "the
reformation and saving of Just one
boy" being sufficient warrant for
the Joint session
The message reads In part aa fol
lows: Governor's Messuge.
"I am about to address you on a.
subject which has given me the
deepest concern since I have been
connected In an official capacity
with the administration of the af
fairs of this state. You will recall
that in my first message to this
legislature I dcwlt at some length
on the condtllon of the boys" train

its plant to meet the functions
which it Is supposed to perform,
and upon the economic waste en
tailed in not colnc to nil possible
lengths to reclaim for good cltbteu

there.
"My propositi to meet nnd over

Is made possible Ihe fact that,
