schould, and will, be continued," de
clared Keene. "The tax was originally

sure. However, it was not the jewel
ers' war and there is no reason why
wo jewelers should be made to pay."

considerable handicap to jewelers

tax as an unfair discrimination
against one particular line of business

TROWBRIDGE CABINET WORKS
feT Medford - A Modern Mill Oregon
SYRACUSE. N. Y May 9. (By
Associated Press.) Senate rules per
mitting unlimited debate, are the
country's strongest safeguards against
hasty legislation by a coalition of the
blocs that have sprung up In Ameri
can political life, Senator Moses, re
publican of New Hampshire, declared
here recently In an address defendod
Ingthose rules ngainst tne assaults of
Vice President Dawes.
Calling attention that the coalitions
differed from day to day as new legis
lation to cure the ills existing In dif
ferent sections, are advanced, the pres
ident pro tempore of the senate said
the majorities thus momentarily
welded together "are bound to be as
reckless as they are emphcmeral.'
Senator Moses said It was axiomatic
that the majority had the right to rule,
but he declared that majorities differ
ed from day to day.
"The majority in tho senate," he
said, "is no longor partisan or even
political. In point of fact, except
through articlflal means, strict party
division is ralely to be had nowadays
at either end of the enpitnl, and the
engrossing questions of federal legis
lation nowadays are the result of
economic import affecting the mate
rial interests of sectional groups of
states."
Detailing his own experiences In the
senate, Senutor Moses said he could
not feel that the rules worked mora
than a fancied hardship. He added
that he could not believe that even
more seasoned legislators than him
self could freely contemplate a move
to change them.
It la to be observed," he said, "that
with few exceptions the demand for
a change in the rules of the senate
arises from those whose contest with
tho senate Is either brlof or non-existent.
Many a man has come into the
senate with a determination to tame
It, and almost without exception these
men themselves have been tamed by
the senate and have come to realize
the value of the senate rules.
Senator Moses declared that limita
tion of debate already exists in the
senate through unanimous consent ar
rangements frequently resorted to af
ter full und free disr.ussison. He also
callod attention to the rule which en
ables 16 senators to force a vote with
out debate on the question of limit
ing debate on any subject to one hour
for each senator. Only a majority vote
is necessary to enforce such limita
tion, he added. ,
A remedy for everything complain
ed of in the senate rules. Senator Mo
ses went on, Js offered in the Norris
constitutional amendment which would
do away with short sessions of con
gres' sand prevent legislation by "lame
ducks" by moving up tho meeting
time of a jiewlyelected congress from
itim uu Riior wio election io January.
- "I have not, observed." he said,
'that any 'of those now so busily en
gaged in defaming the senate have
shown any unwillingness to endorse
Senator Norris' proposal. It may be
that they are as ignorant of it as they
re-or the actual effect of the rules of
the senate. "Yet in this impatient age,
it is surely not too much to ask'that
thoro may still remain in this country
some forum In which freedom of ex-
pressison In length, if not in depth,
may still be found. If in tho ideas of
tho Founding Fathers, as President
Harding liked to refer to them, there
still remains merit in their conception
of a republic with representative in
stitutions, surely It is worth while to
retain one place where that concep
ion may be sustained.
"Hut if wji have discarded the prin
ciples of that earlier era and are to
live henceforth under hybrid Institu
tions resulting from the skill of the
Luther Rurbank of policies in engraft
ing scions of democracy upon the stem
of the republic, then we might as well
give ear to the clamor which has re
cently been set up."

WASHINGTON. May 12. (Uv the
Associated PreBB.)4-In"oi mai conver
sations relative to French debt set
tlement are again In progress, It was
disclosed today at the state depart
ment. ,
Confirming the fact of negotiations
for the first tlmk.tiie department re
Iterated that, Washington govern
ment had sent no formal communica
tion on the question to France, de
partment officials would not enlargo
on their statement confirming- report
that intermittent informal conversa
tions on the debt question had been
in progress from time to time. They
refused to indicate In any way the na
ture of developments of the last few
days.
The statement that the discussion
was "again' in progress was taken rp
a reference to the rumored dig-'
patch to Ambassador Ilerrick last
week of Instructions believed to out
line tho suggestions: he wns asked to
lay before French officials In con
vcrsations ho might have with therti
There was nothing to indicate that
these instructions Included any defi
nite project us to terms of settlement
or that they marked any change in
the policy of the Washington gov
ernment as to tho form of settle
ments.
It wns said flatly that tho Wash
ington government had not changed
front on tho question of ncceptlng
un assignment uf German reparation
payments by France in working out
a debt settlement 'agreement. . It is
understood, that this question haa
been frequently raised and that tho
Washington government has always
held that ' any settlement reached
with Franco must be In harmony
with the basic condition of the re
funding agreement .with Great Brit
ain. That condition is Unit settle
ments are not made contingent upon
any outside question as to where
the funds are to be obtained by the
debt or nation for meeting Its obli
gations. ,
Developments today on the French
debt question did not disclose that
any advance had been made as yet
toward acceptance by tho two gov
ernments of. a definite proposal nd-
vanced by either side as the basis
for negotiations for a rofunding
agreement.
Apparently neither government has
put forward a statement that could
be used for this purpose, both taking
the position that tho other In each
case should tako the first atop
toward presenting a plan of settle
ment.
M ISM THIS, Tenn., May 1 2.( Hy
Associated Tress.) Uslnfi a large
anchor attached to a fifty foot chain
ns a hummer. United Stutes engineers
today will break the framework of
the cabin of the sunken steamer M. K.
Norman, in the hope of releasing bod
ies uf some of the 23 persons who
drowned when the ves.se! turned over
and sank lust Friday.
Stationed at intervals down the
river, crews of government boats will
watch for the bodies which the engi
neers are confident will be released.
The cabin was definitely located
last night after the workers had bro
ken up other parts of tho steamer.
Attempts to reach the hull of the ves
sel with expert divers failed because
of the strong undercurrent which
swept the divers far down stream
when they attempted to descend.
To raise the hull of tho steamer
with chains, engineers decirind, would
require several days. They determined
on the plan of breaking up tho super
structure of the Norman as tho most
practicable method of reaching tho
victims.
Fearing that some of tho bodies
have been swept down stream those
in charge have ordered the river pu-
. trol to continuo unceasingly.
J The steamer lies with the Htern 380
feet from tho shore. Tho vessel Is
resting on her port side with tho
smokestacks pointing towards tho
shore.
First success In brea king u p t ho
superstructure of the vohhpI was
shown when the aft flagpole shot up
through fifty feet of wator with the
American flag attached. iJtter the
ship clock was brought up, its hands
Ih owing that it had stopped at 4:50
o'clock which hour on Fridny after
noon engineers now accept as tho
exact time the steamer sank.

WHY PAY HIGHER PRICES?
Millions of Pounds Used by the Government
WASHINGTON. May 13. (By As
sociated Press.) Expressions in of
ficial quarters here and In Paris
of ignorance of amy fmfvortnnt -developments
towards settlement of the
French debt have failed to erase the
belief that at least Informal negotia
tions on tho subject have been re
sumcd.
Significance given recent events by
some observers here hns lod to the
impression that the debt refunding
discussions are proceeding with a view
to establishing a starting point tor
lator exchanges. These events were
the -return from France of Under
Secretary Winston of tho treasury
with an optimistic view of France's
financial outlook and news reports
that Finance Minister Caillaux will
place him program before parliament
empowered to make It a question of
confidence If necessary.
It was also taken into account by
some that American opinion is re
garded as desiring that satisfactory
agreement bo made without undue
delay between the United States anJ
debtor nations. Consideration was
given also to dispatches from Fnrb
which reported that diplomatic con
versations havo now reached a pbnt
where the French government must
be consulted. '
Officials here, while pleased at In
dications that France would ' give
early consideration to the debt ques
tion, denied that any formal com
munication on the subject had re
cently been dispatched to Paris.
