Quietest City in Country
Seattle Waall.t Feb. .7.-14 .tie .sec
ond day of the first general strike in
tho United States, Seattle was today
probably tho quietest eatjr.,, in Jho
Oountry.
Up -to a late hour there had been
no show or hint of violence.
Twenty four arrests for minor of
fenses only, since 12 o 'clock yestorday
established a low record in police an
nals of the city.
Curious crowds slowly filled the
wt reefs, expecting something to hap
pen to break the tension.
Despite this, preparations at police
headquarters were going forward on a
gigantic scale. Night sticks and guns
wore distributed to volunteer patrol
men. By noon more than 9000 special
policemen wore available for instant
call.
The water system, light stations and
utilities were roped off and strongly
guarded toy details composed of po
lice, soldiers and sa!ilors.
Numbers of discharged soldiers and
(tailors were also offering their ser
vices as "moral suasion" videttes to
the law and order council of the strik
ers, asserting that they wanted to be
neither deputized nor armed.

Attention school teachers! If the bill

of the first day of school. Througli the
present law, the teacher may jump the

the scrap of paper called a contract
must be broken 60 days before the
first day of school. The' house was ai-
.most willing to make it 90 .days, as it
doesn't approve of teachers making
a contract for one school and then
looking out for a better job.

Mayor Issues Proclamation
Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle at
11:30 o'clock this morning issued the
following proclamation:
"To the people of Seattle:
"By virtue of the authority vested
in me as mayor, I hereby guarantee
to all the people of Seattle absolute
and complete protection. They should
go about their daily work and business
in perfect security. We have 1500 po
licemon. 1500 regular soldiers from
Camp Lowis and can and will secure
if necessary, every soldier in the north
west to protect life, business aud
property.
"Tho timo has come for every per
son in Seattle to show their American

out fear. We will see to it that you
have food, water, light, gas and all
necessities. t
"The anarchists Sn this community
shall .not rule its affairs.
" All persons violating the laws will
bo dealt with summarily.

Mayor Hanson turned the first trans
portation wheel since the tieup when
ho sent out a protected munitiipal car,
with Thomas' Murphine superintendent
of public utilities as chief passenger.
, "It will onlr tend to aggravate the
situation, " protested City 'Councilman
Robort Hesketh, labor's repre'sentnPive
on the council. ..
, Star Sttll Published
The Seattle Star," the only -newspaper
published in Seattlo yesterday, pro
poses to issue again-today under the
protection of soldiers and police. The
Star is being published iby union men
throughout, although some of tho reg
ular union men have gone out on
strike. In its edition yesterday, the
Star printed the following editorial:
"Under this flag the 8tar will con
tinue to publish an American newspa
per. "Despite halud'icaps of today and
despite any handicaps that may fol
low The Star will continue to assume
that it is an American institution un

that assumption The Seattle Star will

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 7. The generj.1
strike in Tacoma gained some headway
today. Longshoremen, teamsters end
chuffeurs. about 15 per cent of the re
tail elerkS, and some smelter employes
joined in the walk out. . '
At the same time, however, there was
a possibility that the streetcar men who
who were called out yesterday noon,
apparently without Union authority,
would have the cars running by tonight
or tomorrow morning.
New light was thrown oil the strccl
cer situation when it was reported by
the carmen and their officers that the
only thing standing in the way of their
going back t0 work is the Tacoma Rail
way r.nd Power company itself.
It was even hinted among the ear
men that it was Manager Beau, of Ihe
company who was responsible for or
dering the men off their jobs. The car
men at their meeting last night repu
dinted the order which called them out,
rerffirming their former vote against
the general strike. It was certain that
the- men were ready and anxious to re
turn to work today but that some mys
terious influence was birring them.

While President Wilson is not sched

his and Mrs. Wilson' s gif tsj and souve

echoed merrlily through the (ancient

The president, despite the long hours
he devotes to peace work, finds time
to read interesting letters from all

EXPECTS TO HURRY
ALL WORK THROUGH
First Act Will Be Welcoming
Austria Into German
Republic
By Frank J. Taylor
Weimar, Germany, Feb. 6. Official
welcoming of Austria into the German
republic wag expected to be the first
act of the national assembly, following
its organization meeting late today.
The assembly then planned to adjourn
until Monday when Chancellor Ebert
will formally transfer the government
to tho new cabinet, which will bo form
ed in the interim. '
A csucus held by the majority par
ties last night revealed that Ebert is
the choice for president of the assembly
with Philip Scheidemann as vice presi
dent. The work of the assembly was not ex
pected to be long drawn out, as a vir
tual agreement on all the more impor
tant questions had been reached.
Weimar is well guarded in anticipa
tion of Spartacan itnerruptlon. In addi
tion to large force of picked po
licemen, there are infantry, cavalry and
artillery units from the front.
Delegates and other visitors have
been assigned to a certain place to eat
and another place to sleep.
They are provided with cards calling
for certain allowance of auger, fats and
other food.
A sudden drop In temperturo had not
affected the ardor of the delegates, who
hurry about in sleighs, lining up support
for their pet projects.

MARKET1HG BUREAU
C. E. Pence Said If Appropria
tion Not Given, Would Sub
mit It To Referendum.
The state marketing bill introduced
in the senate calling for an appropria
tion of $30,000 was up for discussion
last evening before tho ways and means
joint committee.
Declaring that California had solved
the problem for producers in stabilizing
the markets, Senator S. B. Huston ol
Portland tpoke strongly in favor, of the
cppropiit'tion. Mr. Huston showed that
through the state marketing commission
California had got the best of tho prune
situation when the government had com
mandeered the whole Crop. Whilo Ore
gon was still tied up, he said California
had been released, and was disposing of
its prunes.

C. E. Sponee spoke in favor of an ap
propriation for the state niarkoting bill
saying the grange Was iu favor of it.
If tho legislature will not estsblisn tne
marketing commission, he said it would
bo. submittod through a referendum, but
this would delay its operation. He pre
ferred an appropriation.
Senator Pierce spoilt emphatically in
fuvor of money for 'state marketing.
"This is the most important bill before
the legislature," dcelntod the senator.
The farming communities have niEdo
money during the war but this will not
continue. The milk and dairymon are
having their troublo and thoy noed the
help of a state marketing bureau.".
:As the joint ways and means commit
tee is not inclined to appropriate money
on tho spur of the moment, nothing was
done (o aid the stato marketing measurfe
but it may come in later for considera
tion.

ways and means committee, of which ho
is a meml'ur. some alarming facts about
fruit pestt and the need of doing some
thing' nt once to am a crop tnat nas a
$35,000,000 annual worth. All ho want
ed was $15,000, and the committee unan
imously voted it. Hho showed that Cal
ifornia last year gave $148,000 to fight
the fruit pests and that Oregon had
given not a dollar. Massachusetts a
few yearB ago appropriated l,UUU,uuu
to fight the gypsy moth, but with dis
eases of oil k'mls threatening the fruit
industry, Oregon hadn't given a cent.
Henntor Patterson spoke favoring tho
$15,000 appropriation.
Thn Paeifio International Livestock
association of Portland appeared l&st
ovening before the ways and means com
mittce asking for an appropriation, to
got it on fr paying basis. Portland plans
to erect a building covering seven ana
a half acres, to bo the largest of its
n,i ;n thn United States. Other states
give freely for big livestock associa
ion8 and the Portland men thought Ore
gon should do the same. No action was
taken by the committee as there is a
disposition to hold back on special ap
propriations until tne comiuinee cu
soe daylight under the six per cent law.
In this instance, thee stato is asked to
pay only about 10 per cent of the
amount raised in Portland and from cat
tie interests. -

with Washington and British Columbia,

Revenue Measure Will Mean
Average Of $60 Tax Eacb
Individual This Year.
By L. C. Martin
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Wcshington, Feb, 7. Records of the
treasury department and the appropria
tions committee o fthe house and sonato
today showed why congress is about to
enact the biggest tax bill in history,
tho six billien dollar revenue measure
that will tako an average of $60 this
year and $40 next year from every indi
vidual of the nation's 100,000,000 popu
lation.
Those, records show that the govern
ment will Cost the people $18,000,000,
000 this fiscal year and $10,000,000,000
in tho 1920 fiscal year.
The tax bill now beforo congress rais
es only one-third of the amount requir
ed for tho tax-spendinir year ending
June 3, 1919, and only 40 per cent of
tho tcx expenditures for the tnx-Kpond-inrr
voar ending Juno 30, 1920.
Where is tho rest of the money coin
ing from I
There is only one way to got it
bonds. Therefore, unless tho tax-spond-ing
can bo brought to tho limits of tax
paving, there will bo bond issues not
only in 1910 but in 1 920. "S '."
Cancelled. Contracts. , ' -
Tho 191!l tax-spending year congress
appropriated more than $36,000,000,000.
But the onding of the' war caused can
cellation of contracts totalling more
than $2,000,000,000 and a bill in con
cols $1,000,000,000 more. Tho ultimate
total of such cancellations will be about
18,000,000,000, or half the sum appro-
iated. This loaves i,uuu,uuu,uuu as
th not cost of the government this yeer
Of this amount the pending tax bill is
oatimated to raise $6,070,000,000.
Some' congressmen say it won't raise
more thuu $5,000,000,000, but if it raisos
tho amount its sponsors hope for, it
will lenvo approximately $12,000,000(
000 to be raised by more bond issues.
Appropriations for the 1920 tax year
boar out tho estimate of $10,000,000,000
which has boon made by members of
the house and senate and which was
f orecasto by former Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo beforo the sonata fi
nance committee.
Fassea 14 Bills.
Congress pnsscs fourteen regular np
.,..,ri.,ti,.n i,MU fn. the Kiiunort of the
government. Those fourteen bills willj
totrl $5,507,000,000 for 120. this fig
uro is obtained from bills lready passed j
and departmental estimates on um um
ors. If tho army of occupation ls kept
in Germany long time or the total
armed strength Of tho United States
exceeds 500,000, this figuro will be too
low, inasmuch as tho army appropria
tion bill carrying $1,910,000,000 is bas
ed on en army of 500,000. ,
On the othor hand, if tho three year
navy program is rejected by congress
that means some reduction, as tho $740
000,000 navy bill is included in the
$5,250,000,000. But in addition t0 these
regular appropriations, there are a num
ber of extras, Including:

Means Of Handling Refractory Nations Shonld They Dis

Theories Advanced In This Connection Is That Block

By Fred S. Ferguson i
(United Press staff correspondent) i
Paris, Feb. 7. While it now seems
eertain that compulsory arbitration
will not bo written into tho constitu-1
tion of the league of nations, the lea-1
guo will not lack means of enforcing I
its decision, tho United Press lcurnodj
from an authoritative source today.
Compulsory arbitrations means that
disputants would bo compelled not on-,
ly to submit thoir differences, to the
league, but would have to abide by its
decisions. As tho matter now stands
tho league will force submission of ar
bitrable questions and will prevent re
course to arms until a decision is ren
dered. What actioni will bo taken in
case a disputant disregards the man
date of arbitration, it is 'impossible t
learn at this time, Ibut it is believed
the blockade which proved so effect
ive in tho caso of Germany win .-(
stituito' tho league s wenpon.
Means ls Mystery
The means of handling refractory
nations, should they disregard the
award of the arbitration Ibonrd, alBo
remains a mystery. Among the theor
ies advanced in this connection was
that tho blockade, or at -least a boy
cott, would bo employed.

Amendment Would Take Pow-

Tho senate had a real taste of ora
tory and dobato yesterduy afternoon
when three hours were Bpcut in discus
sing scnato bill A, introduced by Sena
tor Huston, and which amonded tho
public utilities law so as to take from
the public scrvico commission tutliority
to alter rates fixed by franchise agree
monts prior to November 7, 1912, whic!.
is tho date the public utilities luw wont
into effect.
In tho ond tho senate voted to fcib
tho bill as everybody knew it was go
ing to do beforo tho debate started.
The bill was beforo the senate as h
special order of business and with a
majority and minority report from tho
revision of laws committee. The ma
jority report, signed by four members,
favored tho bill whilo the minority re
port, signod by three members, oppodid
the bill.
Tho test voto came on tho question
of substituting tlio minority report toi
tho majority report. Tho motion ca
ried by a voto of 21 to 9. Tho vot';
was as follows:
For the report and against the bill
Baldwin, Banks. Bell, Hberhard, Kiry,

Senators Huston, Straycr and Piere1
spoke in support of the bill, while Sen
ators Eddy, Banks, Moser and Howell
spoke against the measure.

That franchise agreements should be
held inviolate the samo as agreements
between private persons, was the con
tention of those supporting the bill,
while the opposition insistc that the
publie servico commission, as an agency
of the stnto, should not be limited iu
its power to regulate rate, whether they
were fixod by franchise contracts or
aot.
"Somewhere I have beard something
about a scrap of paper, something about
a coitract not being Worth the paper
it is written on," said Senator Strayor
"I am a lawyer and know that lawyers
spend ays arguing tcchniclities, but you
cannot go out and convince the com
mon people that a contract should be
binding between them and not between
a municipality and a public utility.
When you Bay a contract is only a scrap
of paper you aro launching out on a dan

Senator Eddy opened the debate in
opposition to the bill, and declared that
