By Arthur Parry.
The release from stato prison, by
pardon and parole, of 02 gentlemen of
varying degrees of moral toughness,
during December, one of whom ha
already managed to get back In his
former cell, is offset by sending a 12-
year-old girl from Lane county, to th
, reform school. It's a wonder the des
Ierate child did not beat out the brains
of the matron with her doll.
There lias been no murder worth
mentioning for some time, but the
Louisville, Ky., beauty who nearly
Choked a romantic millionaire to death
with a silk sock, might have made
something out of the Incident.
.Investigation of alleged irregular
ities In Salvation Army war work Is
threatened. They will be charged with
accomplishing something, and getting
somewhere near ' the front line
trenches. Their distribution of coffee
and doughnuts in.tlio danger zone,
looks small alongside the outfit who
wanted to build an athletic stadium In
Paris after the war was over.
'.Taxes (surus hellus) will soon be.
due..
. A niovo is on foot to have the build
ers of the million dollur resort hotel
at Ashland, compromise with the Med
ford constructors of a railroad to tho
Paoiflc ocean, and erect a section

(Congressional Record)
Mr. BLANTON. Mr. Chairman, utter
the war ceased I was hopeful that we
would Btop the habit of granting $5000
automobiles to various of our public
officers. I think wo ought to quit it.
Wo pay our cabinet officers J12.000 a
year, $4,000 more than a representative
or senator gets. Thon we grant them
those JuOOO cars, and maintenance, and
then thoy draft a. civil employe, who
draws another salnry from tho govern
tnnnt, to drivo the car for them in
many cases. This provision shows
conclusively that tho secretary already
has a car furnished by- the govern
ment It has not been long since It
was bought. If the committee will
look it up thoy will soe that it has bean
ued by him only a comparatively
short tlmo. Yot this (5000 is not to
buy a now car, but it is Just to pay .the
difference between his present car and
a new one in exchange. I lmvo a car,
which I had Co pay for myself, that 1
have been using a couple of years.
It 'stands over ut the House Office
building every day, put in the weathor,
and, of course, it wan not looking very
good. So I took It to tho KtudHbakcr
Co. down here to boo what they would
allow mo fur It In excliango for n new
ono. Thoy said thoy could allow me
only $500 Tor it. That Is all they would
allow mo, but I took It to nn expert
painter and paid Mm $f.o; and he paint
ed It for mo. and It now looks Just as
goon as a now ono and I am going to
drive it two more years. I should
think maybe tho socrrtary could have
his car painted up, anil It would not
cost this government $5000 more In
oxebnngo. I am not plcayunlsh. 1 be
lieve In follows spending their own
money just as extravagantly ns they
want to, but 1 do-not think wo ought
to spend this f .'u00 of public money to
enuhlo our secretary of the interior to
exchange his car, when tho money
comes out of tho people's taxes. We
ought to quit It. llow long are wo
going to keop it up? It Is Just a con
tinual Increase of the number or offi
cers for whom we allow theso curs. 1
think the tlmo has come when wo
ought to pin right down and cut them
off. Let them furnish their own cars.
Jit them furnish everything else thut
other peoplo furnish. Pay them their
salaries, but whenwo pay them their
salaries let up stop and not just keeo
adding, these extras year after year.
I think it ought to 60 out.
THE LAUSANNE OPERA BOUFFE.
t '
FKO.M this distance the Lausanne conference appears rather u
faree. There is a great deal of talk about this and that untl the
other, and today the Turks stalked from the conference because of
allied insistence on an Armenian Home, but somehow the reality of
the protest fails to register.
In fact, ns far as the press reports nre concerned, there lias been
little reality .from the first. This latest development looks merely
like another dramatic gesture, a feeling out by the Turkish delega
tion, to bring the allied cards on the table, and expose their offensive
assuming that they have one.
The plain truth seems to be, that tho Turks, with their army
fighting trim and their troops "rarin' to go," have the allied diplo
mats at their mercy and know it. The recent break between England
i.nd France over German reparations, the virtual retirement of Great
Uritain from aggressive participation in European affairs, merely
renders the Turkish position all the more impregnable.
;o country in r.tirope wants war witn the lurks. Jtussia is
frankly lier ally, France to say the least, is benevolently neutral, and
all this talk about the sacred rights of Christian minorities, a home
for the Armenians, and security for the Greeks is good, ns far as it
goes, but it doesn't go much farther than the Lausanne Casino.
. Of course, at this distance, definite judgment is hazardous. There
may be more to the conference than appears on the surface. But as
the reports have been cabled from day to day, it looks as though the
tntire performance were nothing more than u process of beating time
to camouflage the inevitable.
Ami the inevitable is that ns no Christian nation stands readv to
fight the Turk, the Turk is going to get what ho whiits, with the
possible exception of complete control of the Near East oil fields.
As secret diplomacy goes, oil is something worth fighting for, cither
with guns or with money. Christian principles and minorities nre not,
So the conference, ns a whole, looks rather silly. It may drag
on many more weeks, it may break up tomorrow, but the finnl out
come will 'not be materially changed. Turkey, for the time being at
least is to have her place in the sun.

ing adequate supiilie of the ebenii-
'"'i-he situation l largely out of the
hands of producers who obtain arse
nie as a byproduct from the smelting
of copper, einuubar and lead ores.
I'onniiuently. arsenic production Is
limited bv the output of copper,

States. A few companies, whose hk
greBate yield of arsenic will be rela
tively small, plan to make arsenical
chemicals directly from the ores ns a
major product. Hy far me laigesi
producers, principally on the Pa
cific conat, manufacture a high-grade
white arsenic recovered from the
smeller fume In bnghousea or by pre
cipitators. One of the early Incentives to the
production of arsenic in this country
was the elimination of smeller smoke
nuisances, and though this is still a
minor reason for maintaining nn out
put, the price nt arsenic is sufficiently
attrac tive to make its production de
sirable In this region.
Although at the present time,
miners are not paid for tlie arsenic
content of their ores, and are sopie
timrs penalized for the presence or
that element, a continuation of the
present price level would encourage
the handling of arsenical ors now
treated with reluctance (However,
the only way to stimulate arsenic
production through prospecting and
mining is to offer a price inducement
for its production. Such a move in
this region might have a beneficial
result in relieving a shortage to some
small extont. .

Regurding Arsenic in Ore.
To the Editor: . .
That which has been a curse to the
mining industry of this region has
apparently fallen into the laps of the
mine owners ns a blessing. 1 am re
ferring to arsenic which appears in
large quantities In nearly all the .ores
of this region, especially the cinnabar
and copper. ores. Arsenic in a crude
form made our cinnabar ores refrac
tory to such an extent that the ordi
nary modern furnace and equipment
erected in the Gold Hill district was
niado useless, until government ex
perts, came to tho relief of the .-.pe-ralors
and worked out a system of
recovering and hnndlng the arsenic,
which was so simple that the . opera
tors were .astonished at the discovery.
Now these quicksilver operators are
possessed with a world of wealth in
arsenic as a by-product in their
mines.
Tho nrsenlc jnnrket Is enjoying a
boom far surpassing the hopes of
producers n few months ago. Com
pared with an average value of white
arsenic of slightly over 6 cents a
pound for the last 20 years, tho price
today is over 12 cents fur future ship
ments nnd gspot tonnages command
even higher . prices. The sudden de
mand which has arisen is due to the
cnll for calcium arsenate by southern
cotton. growers, who find that chmi
cal exceedingly useful In combating
the ravages of the boll weevil.
The demand for whlto arsenic has
literally swept producers off thoir
feet when they saw nn opportunity
to contract for the disposal of their
output many months ahead at theso
prices. Prices have naturally gono
skyward under the influence of tho
force of supply nnd demand, lrres-1
pective nf the absence of any tariff
