aotson E S 11 Feb 1 TilE VOLUME II BOARDMAN, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1922- NUMBER 8 I TURKISH CLAIMS ARE GRANTEDJY ALLIES Memorandum of Peace Pro posal Conoedes Virtually All Demands. O Paris. Turkey is conceded nearly all her claims, except those to Adrian i onri rtari nf oBstrrn Thrace, in RUU ltti t "t- - the memorandum which the allied foreign ministers forwarded to Athens, Angora and Constantinople with a view to its acceptance as a prelimin ary peace settlement, revising the treaty of Sevres. The Enos-Media line in Thrace is modified so as to give Turkey more territory on the Bulgarian frontier, but the old Turkish capital of Adrian ople is excluded. Constantinople remains Turkey's and she retains Armenia with the pop ulation under league of nations pro taction, but she loses the Gallipoi. peninsula and Mesopotamia. The salient features of the memo randum are: Perpetual freedom of navigation of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. Turkish sovereignty over all of Asia "Minor and all of the territory bounded by the Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. The Armenians to be under the pro tection of the league of nations, but the territory inhabited by them to be under the sovereignty of Turkey with an eventual national home to be found ed for them by the league. Adrianople to go to the Greeks, but a large percentage of Thrace to be returned to Turkey. The peninsula of Callipoli to go to Greece. r lo c TOWNLEY SAYS HE WILL RESIGN Fargo, N. D A. C. Townley an nounced that he would present his resignation as president of the Na tional Non Partisan league to tiie state meeting of the Minnesota organization In Minneapolis March 31. This resignation must be submitted to the national committee and its re jection would constitute a vote of con fidence. This situation is similar lo that of two years ago, when Mr. Town ley refused to accept re-election by the national committee until it had been confirmed ii a referendum by the league membership. Mr. Townley, the recognized "father of the Non-Partisan league movement," j started the organization in North Da-! kota in 1915 and has been active in extending its ramifications to the other states. Recently he has met with considerable opposition in his attempts to swing the league senti ment to his proposed "balance of power" in state politics. The plan i called for elimination of the strictly! league ticket and substitution of in-. dorsing of individual candidates, re gardless of party affiliations. -AL j NOTES Royal Rands was a Hermiston visitor on Friday.

Umatilla has gone on record for a now county, as the following rosolu ions adopted by the Commercial Club will show. All of the towns named 10 he in the new county have idonlical interests and It so happens thai the two county seats of Mor row and Umatilla counties, the coun ties tc be divided, have entirely oppo site and antagonistic interests and the move meets with the approval of tany. There can bo no question thai the expense of running the new county would be much less and we, who Pay 'he big taxes, on highly ap praised irrigated land would rot have to pro rate with low priced wheat land and barren hill land, and could got alopg ttleeiy wnnout several nign salaried officials. WHEREAS! The growth in pros perity and population of that part of thh west end of Umatilla County and the north end of Morrow County contained In the Umatilla Irrigation Piojecl warrants a seperate county eo eminent . be it THEREFORE RESOLVED! Thai the Umatilla Commercial ciuu does hereby unanimously (pprove no l re commend the forma' IB of a I" w' county conlnining the towns t( Er.ei, Btanfield, Hermisten, Umatilla, irri gon and Boardman, and adjoining count r - . and be it PURTHEH RESOLVED! That a copy of lh.se resolutions be sent to the commercial organisation of each of the towns involved and to the newspapers, Adopted March 25, 1922 DmatUSs Commercial Club Harold Benjamin, Secy. The interests of all these OOmmUn iiies are identical, while it so happens that the county seats are located at 11 great distance- and In a section of antagonistic Interests. Boardman and Irrigon have noth ing In common with Ileppner and the Situation is parallel vvilh the west end of Umatlll county. Pendleton wants the road money for Hie roads that will lead into Pen dleton. But the wheat farmer wants his land assessed at a low valuation, while they think It devinoly right that the poor alfalfa grower should b assessed at $200 and $:i0 per a' re. And In Morrow counly the Case Is parallel. That a saving In taxation will be made is self evident, as was the case when Sherman county was taken from Wasco, This matter has been discussed In HermlSton several times before now by her commercial club and Stanfiold has talked division , Considerable support of the towns other than Umatilla is apparent to anyone meeting the people, it is by no means the first time that count division litis tx-on tailed of tit Com mercial club meetings in the West end towns.
