IS. on the ques tion of reduction nf world naval arm-j anients. which Is now agitating Kuro- pu.ni governments as well as the capl- . lab of tills nation, II Is already deter-j mined that the Republican majority in j Congress will stand for nothing less than a naval force sutticient to meet any emeigeiicy that may arise in the future. I It has been proposed by Senator Hiir- ah that the 1'nltvd States and Crcat llrilaln agree to a llfty per cent redur- j tion In their naval building programs j for the next five years. Senator Walsh. I c.f Wyoming, a peace-loving Pemoerat. ! Is ntteniptlng to turn this Idea to the) benefit of the Wilson administration by suggesting that the Culled Stntes par ticipate In the disarmament commis sion of the League of Nations, using that as an opening wedge to participa tion in the whole general scheme which was repudiated at the polls in Novem ber by a majority of seven million votes. Knghinil In (he l end Senator lioiah s plan is really an at tempt to sift out Just how much sin eerily there may bo In tho disarma ment pretences of the European and Asiatic states which are members of the League. Ho wants to know wheth er ('.real lliitalii, which sent represen tatives to tho conference nt (ieneva. 1 Intends to suit lis action to the word and actually disarm lo any extent agreed upon by the United States. That Umpire Is today mistress of the sens, as it has been shun the days of Drake, and most liopubllcnns in Congress do not believe it intends to relinquish thai position except by force. However, there has been much talk of disarmament. The Hague confer, ein-es discussed it. Tho peace confer ences which assembled yearly nt Ma honk discussed it. Hut nobody did any thing in the way of disarming. States men met nnd talked, but tho training went right on. The grcntest war In history came along and even that did not foastc those who sought to do away wilh war by making no preparation for It. The League of Nations, conceived by the lliitlsh in order to maintain ter ritorial Integrity, was also to take up the disarmament question. And It like wise met recently and discussed it, but no action was taken. Not a battleship was dismantled. Not a regiment was disbanded. Wlinl Anierlen Must l'roteet, So Senator llornh means to put all this pretense lo the lest of sincerity. Ho nlnia to find out whether C.reat lliitalii means business. Otherwise he refers tho Inquirer to his speech ad vocating a big navy. Senator Prellng huysen, of New Jersey, sides with him In this stnnd. He Is a member of the basis of that time. His figures were admitted recently in the House of Com mons. It has been rumored that the flntish government would yield a pro posal to reduce the two greatest navies of the world and maintain them on an j even basis, l'.ut thla Is only rumor. Krelinghuysen Joins Borah In declaring that unless England and Japan also agrees to disarm thla country must maintain the greatest navy on the globe. This Is what he says: "New York has replaced London as tie banking center of the world. We have bunplanted England as the Drat trading nution of the earth. Our ocean carriers have grown In three short years so that we now are within strik ing distance of her tonnage. We are the greatest producing nation on the globe. By training 4,800.000 men and sending 2,000,000 across the sea to win every battle In which they were en gaged and turn the tide, we have made Washington the capital of the world. Our wealth, which before the war ex ceeded the combined opulence of the British and German empires, has gone on by leaps and bounds. The Romanoff, Hapsburg and Hohenxollern dynasties whloh overawed weak nations for cen turies, have disappeared and Ideas of republican government are permeating the world." .Navy Itullt br Republicans. All this, he goes on. means some thing worthy of protection by a big navy. And this, unless Oreat Britain and Japan also concur in disarmament, is to be the Republican policy of the new administration. Members of that party in Congress are mindful of the fact that It was under Secretary of the Navy Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hamp shire, that the modern American navy got its Btart, and that In the days when the Democrats In the House and Sen ute were constantly voting against more battleships for the navy they were voting almost to a man for the construction of adequate defense. . In the determination to maintain the navy at the highest pitch of efficiency 'he Republicans are backed to the limit by the officers of the navy who have been taught In the pages of history and the hard school of experience that talk never prepared a nation for defense or won a battle In time of war. They have testified before the Committee on Korgeln Relations, now considering the liorah resolution, that Great Britain at the present moment has 846 ships with a total tonnage of 2.S29.6S1: that the I'nlted States has 582 ships with a ton nage of 2,007.478. and that Japan has 322 ships with a tonnage of 980.426. They see Great Britain as the possible rival of the future and desire that we lie ready rather than dreaming If war between the two nations, which now seems impossible, should ever result. In this the Republicans concur. One thing Is certain: there will be no scut tling policy. Democrats Are Demoralised. Not only on this question but on all others of momentous Importance In Congress the Democrats are completely demoralised. In the face of the great and prolonged debate on the tariff In the special session to be called by Pres ident Harding, thirty-nine of them In the House voted for the emergency tar iff bill designed to protect the products of the American farmers. Trobably the country was never so anxious for tariff protection as It is now, and Represen tative Crowther expresses something of j tins sentiment by introducing a bin to reenact the Dlngley law, which pro vided prosperity after McKinley suc ceeded Cleveland In 1897. The thirty nine Pemocrats in the House foresee this too, but the greater number of them are bitterly opposed to the pro tective principle, and hence the Demo cratic party Is divided on the very is sue which has been In the past Its main reason for existence. The Republicans meanwhile are alone determined that the fnrmer, the laborer, the manufac turer and the miner must have protec tion from an Inundation of cheaper made foreign goods. Leaders Shot to Pieces. The Democratic rout is made all the more complete by the lack of leader- n t.je, w .i - stricken with paraly. i;.st ear :iii l has not appeared at the pi. p. i,t session II is considered unlit"! thai lie . do so for some time. 11' r:ry T Itiuio v. j of Illinois, determined -.nti-i.d.-r fo , low tariff schedules ar.d right band j man of Kitehen on ti.e Ways and Means Committee, was also a virtim of the November deluge .',, in Hull, of Tennessee, tax expert of the Democrat ic minority, gave way to a Republican Finis Garrett, of the same state, who is the ablest parliainer.tat ian of the Democratic side. Is waiting to see whether the Republican Senate will confirm his appointment as United States Judge. Worst of all for the Democrats in the House, Is the fact that they have only 129 members In the new Congress and will be subject to the two-thirds rule at any time. In other words, the Re publicans will have moie than two thirds majority and will be able to pre vent dilatory or filibuster tactics on the part of the Democrats by means of the two-thirds rule, which permits any thing except unanimous consent. No Appealing Issues. Consequently the minority party Is wandering around In a slough of des pondency and Is so far without an is sue upon which to appeal to the coun try. This has already resulted in their quarreling among themselves as to pol icy, as evidenced by the farmer tariff vote. Divided, without leaders and without organisation, the Democratic party In the House seems to be In hopeless mess. In the Senate it is more united In opposition to any protertiv tariff principle and is more ably led by Senator Oscar Underwood, of Alabama, who was one-time leader In the House as well. Meanwhile, the executive end is somewhat uncertain also. When the curtain was about to be rung down on his official career after the "great and solemn referendum," the President ap pointed his secretary, "Joe" Tumulty, a member of the Court of Claims for i life. But the Republican Senate has not taken kindly to "Joe" and It Is not j likely that he will be confirmed before March 4th, In which case he la contem plating returning to private life In Washington and remaining a neighbor of his chief, who has purchased a house here at a cost of llSO.noo. It will be; remembered that when in New Jersey politics Mr. Wilson applied to the Car negie fund for a pension in reward for his services as professor at Princeton Senator Heflln's Vision. "Never you mind," said Senator "Tom" Heflin, of Alabama, the other day. "You Republicans will get yours. Woodrow Wilson will entirely recover his health, the country will find that he was perfectly right in all that he did. and in four years he will be swept back into the White House by a greater ma jority than that by which Harding was elected." "If that Is what the Democrats are counting on, they are Indeed in a bad way," was the remark of a Republican member. In order to show him the respect In which he is held, the majority In the House has decided to retire their chap lain. Rev. Henry M. Couden, who has served in that capacity through both Republican and Democratic adminis trations for twenty-five years. He is blind as a result of a wound In the Civil War. and is becoming quite feeble Each day Just before noon me ian, slender figure of the aged chaplain, rather bent with his years, and attired In black. Is seen approaching the Capi tol, arm In arm with his daughter. He Is led to the speaker's desk by a page and there pours out invecation to Al mighty God. He is beloved by all the members and his prayers are printed each day In the Record. For the rest of his life he will receive his annual salary while in service of It. 500. Senator Wadsworth, of New York, Is after the sugar barons. He has intro duced a joint resolution authorizing the President to require the United States Sugar Equalization Board to take over the Importation of 13.902 tons of sugar from the Argentine Republic procured by the government and to dispose of the sugar through the market.

Tho Pacific Telephone ami Telegraph Company lias built up a tele phone system in Oregon from 7UJ7 stations in to iU.o'J stations in IDL'O. This development was secured for the most part during a period when cost of labor and materials was normal. During these 'JO years the Telephone Company has carried out its part in the building of Oregon. Its operating expenses have increased faster than its revenue- for the last five years it has been operating at an increasing deficit. This condi tion cannot permanently continue. New capital cannot be obtained by public utilities at all except when rates are such as will afford reasonable assurance, with oftioioiit management, of earnings sufficient to care for legitimate fixed charges and establish for them a basis of credit. This does not mean that rates should be such as in themselves will supply new capital, but that they bo such as to justify capital investments in competition with other busi ness ventures. The proposed rates represent a Very small increase to the individ ual user from 21 2 to 11 cents per day. In the aggregate they represent a revenue to the Telephone Company suliicieut to enable it to continue to serve the public, meet its payroll obligations and show a reasonable return upon a legitimate investment. Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates. The PACIFIC TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY
