CONGRESS CLOSES
LENGTHY SESSION
Senators and Representatives
Depart for Homes to
Enter Campaigns.
Washington, D. C. For the firs
time since he entered the White Mous
18 months ago, President Hardin:
looked forward Saturday to a lor
period of legislative quiet, with no COI
gress on his hands to bring its trouble
and problems to the executh e doc
step. With the exception of short recess
periods, congress has been almost in
continuous session since the be tinning
of the republican administration, and
the departure of members 'o take
part in the campaign affords tin
president the longest rest he has ha:l
from legislative worries.
President Harding has informed con
gressional leaders, however, that he
wants congress to corne bark 10 Wash
ington after the elections, November
7, in order that all appropriation bills
and necessary legislative matters can
be cleaned up by March 4 :;s;.t.
President Harding has expressed
the belief that the country generally
"wants a rest from congresc and the
disturbing effects of new laws."
Statistical sharps are busy calculat
ing the work of the session, p'miinent

law and passage of the soldiers' bonus
bill, with its death after the presi
dent's veto. About 300 laws were

TARIFF ACT MARKS
CHANGE IN SYSTEM
Washington, D. C. American tariff
making entered a new phase v ith the
coming into force of the tariff act
Of 1922. For the first time in his
tory congress has delegated part of
its authority over taxes at the cus
toms houses, conferring upon the
president broad powers to inci ease or
decrease rates and change Trom for
eign to American valuation as the
basis for assessing ad valorem duties
on imports.
The tariff commission, created dur
ing the administration of President
Wilson, will be the agency through
which the president will exercise his
new authority, and present expects
tions are that its work wiil rank al
most in importance with that of the
interstate commerce commission. The
commission will make extensive in
vestigations into costs of production
at home and abroad, and will report
its findings with recommendations for
rate or valuation changes to the president.

SHIP SCRAPPING PUT OFF
Three-Power Ratification by France
and Italy Awaited.
Washington, D. C. Secretary Oenby
announced that there will be no scrap
ping of battleships until after the five
power naval treaty has been ratified
by the last cf the subscribing powers.
France and Italy have yet to ratify
the pact.
Five obsolete battleships have al
ready been sent to the scrap heap,
but it was said that although named
in the treaty, they would have been
scrapped anyhow. They are the Vir
ginia. Rhode Island, Nebraska. Geor
gia and the New Jersey. Officials,
it was indicated, have felt that the
near east situation might lead to some
of the signatories changing plans re
garding the scrapping of vessels be
yond the treaty provisions and f jr this
reason H would not be wise for the
United States to begin actus! scrap
ping until all the powers have ratified
the pact.

lepartment, "because of advices re
Calved by the executive office to the

the amount of $10,395,286. a sum of
money that would build 2079 homes,

Because of the heavy financial loss
due to the operation of automobile
stages, it may be necessary within the
next three months to reduce the train

DAJUSSOREO
Secretary of (lie Interior Submits
Estimate to Bubftttl Committee
The Secretary of the Interior has
Itted to the budget commission
reclamation estimates as followa for
the next fiscal year: Umatilla, in
cluding McKay dam, $900,000; Ba
ker, $700,000; and Klamath, $700,-
000.
The appropriation la for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, !Hl!;i, and end
ing June 30, 1924, and the availabil
ity of the wtiole amount appropriated
depends on the repayments of the
settlers into the reclamation fund.
About $200,000 of the appropria-
I Hon, it is estimated bj 11. M Shilling
project manager, will be used on the
present project for the operation and
maintenance charges, supplemental
construction and the lining of the A
canal. This will give about $700,000
for the construction of the McKay
Creek dam. The storage reservoir
site will cover about 15 acres and
will have a capacity of 75,000 acre
feel. The dam it&elf will be 160 feet
hiuli and will probably be a gravel
I embank men! with re inforced con
crete face, though this form of struc
ture has mil been full) decided upon.
It is roughly estimated that the
reservoir will supply water to at least
30,000 acres of land, on some of
which it will be used only as supple
menial irrigation late in Hie season.
Among the lands included is the
Western Land and Irrigation project
and the Furnish l'roecl.

Paris. Britain, France and Italy
sent a note to Mustapha Kemal open
ing the way for Turkey to reenter
Europe, receive back Constantinople
and Adrianople and join the League of
Nations. This was done to avoid un
foreseen consequences of war In the
Near East.
The Turks are offered the territory
of Thrace in Europe aS far east as the
Maritaa river.
They are invited to send a pleni
potentiary to Venice to "negotiate and
conclude a final peace treaty between
Turkey, Greece and the allies."
In return for concessions offered,
the Turks must cease their war on
Greece and agree to neutralization of
the straits.
This Is regarded as an overwhelm
ing victory for Turkey and for French
policy In the Near Hast. The allies'
proposal scraps the treaty of Sevres
and takes from Greece thousands of
square miles awarded under that
treaty, handing vast territories buck
to Turkey.
Ill addition to other concessions,
Turkey gets a promise of the sup
port of the three allies for admission
to the League of Nations and also
withdrawal of the allied troops from
Constantinople as soon us peace be
comes effective.
The last, minute abandonment by
Great Hritain of her position was due,
It was believed, to a desire to avoid
war, which many British officials, both
al home and in the Near Kast, regard
id as likely. Pressure from Hritlsh
labor, whic h was united against hos
tilities in the near east, Is also thought
to huve pluyed no small part In the
decision of the Hrltish government.
TWO NEDTRAL TOWNS
OCGDPIED BY TURKS
Constantinople. The Angora gov
ernment officially announces that two
Kemalist cavalry divisions, totaling
ItiMiO men, have occupied Kren Keul.
At the same time it Is learned the
Turkish natlonulistH also took posses
sion ot Kiiiii Kalest, at the mouth of
the Hardanelles. The occupying
toroei consisted of cavalry.
BeiSttre of these places constitutes
a vlolutlon of the neutral zone of the
straits. Both ure directly on the
straits.
H a in id Hey, representative of tho
Angora government in Constantinople,
declared tho allied Invitation to tho
peace conference could not be accept
ed by the Turkish Nationalists on the
terms laid down. He said:
"We cannot accept the allied terms
because they propose to demilitarize
the Sea of Marmora and part of
Thrace, which would prevent us from
bringing our troops from Asia to
Europe Neither can we accept liter
ally the condition that our army shall
not advance while tho peace confer
ence is progressing."
