HOW WILL ALLIES PAY DEBT?
England and France Said to Be In
Peculiar Position Of Financial
Distress.

England's foreign investments are
not owned by the government. but by
individuals, and they will not sell;
and there seems as yet no way TO
compel them. American securities are
the only ones that appeal to the Brit
ish and French investors at this mo-
ment as being good.
What no financial expert ever pre-
dicted was the amazing trouble that
England and France would have in
paying for the equipment purchased in
thjs country. II has been thought
that these two creditor nations would
merely have to sell their foreign Sc
curities, or merely stop making for
eign investments, to have all the
money they needed Sir George Par
Ish. representative of the British
treasury, came to this country last
winter and boastfully told his inter
viewers and hosts that England could
fight on for five years merely on the
interest from it's foreign investments
an assertion that Sir George proba-
Lloyd-Gcorge formerly spoke Of the
$1,000, 100000 and the $2,000000,0O
this country and Argentina respec-
lively owe Great Britain; but he has
long since cnange his tune England
and France are in position Of pecu-
liar financial distress, Albert w At
wood asserts in the Saturday Evening
Post. They are buying war equipment
in this country on gigantic scale.
They are exporting practically nothing
to this country, and their inhabitants
will not or cannot sell American Sc
curities back to America They have
nothing to pay with but gold, and they
cannot afford to lose gold
France is In an even more embar-
RAISING position She has gone mad
for years over pargnes-sayings.
The average Frenchman would rather
60 without clothes and food at the
present moment than sell his Ameri-
can securities at loss. A friend OF
mine in New York recently received a
letter from a French banker in which
ii was said that only one thing gave
his clients une grande quietude at the
present moment. and that was their
holdings of American stocks and
bonds
Wherever you go in France today
you will find American investments
held intact; for the Frenchman will
tell you that if he sells others will do
the same, and that would put down
the price of American securities

enactments.. rather than for the pass
age OF any Individual measure. Per-
sonally, I don't think the legislative
members have desire to pass any
really vital measure Further. don't
think the people expect or demand
anything. This is one of those rich.
rare sessions when a legislature will
do the state credit by failure. to en-
act laws, rather than by loading down
the statute books"
And that sentiment by the way. is
held by a number of members of both
the house and senate. It is signifi-
cant in that the men who might un-
der ordinary circumstances be expect
ed to lose little sleep for the admin
istration measures, are watching the
legislative lock with a complacent
smile.t,
There is "a quite general belief. that
the legislature will get together on
the appropriation bills. In the judy
ment of the members, it will mean a
compromise both OF the present house
and. senate positions. But the general
impression is that the two bodies will
get together-and after all, that is the
main thing. Then the members are
ready to bury the bills still on. the
calendar and go hime to their dear,
affectionate constituents.

IS WILSON'S IDEA
Senator From Washington
Squeezing Life From Bills.
sSRepeal q Few Fool Laws and
Go HOme," His Plan.

The insurance committee of the SEN
ate has made a record on the proper
ton Of the bills it has killed to those
referred to it. It's batting average in
killed bills runs higher than that of
the judiciary committee by consider
able, and its recommendations have
been few and far between. Out of
Is bills referred to it the committee
recommended only three for passage.
Four more that the committee had
decided to kill were reported out with
out recommendation at the earnest re-
quest of the authors. Eight were
killed outright.
Senator Walter E. Wilson, chair
man Of the committee, came to the
legislature first two years ago with the
idea that the bodies ought to pass the
appropriations, repeal few of the
fool laws" and go home. Two years
ago he introduced two bills, one of
which was defeated in the house. This
year he introduced three. One of
them is the same measure that was
viding that road overseers shall be
elected by the people Of the district
in which they work.
The record of the senate judiciary
committee, commonly known as the
graveyard of the senate, has had q
total Of 1872 bills referred to it. OF
this number 60 have been recon-
mended for passage, either in their
original shape, amended or a substi-
been killed outright. Five remain in
the hands of the committee, and five
have been reported out without rec
ommendation.

Won FIRST ROUND
House Republicans Drew First
Blood on Election Fight.
Save Repeating Section of Nom
Partisan judiciary Ballot.

House Republicans today won the
first round of their fight to repeal
the non-partisan judiciary ballot law.
Taking up the bill by. Lamb Of Mont
gomery. the party whip was cracked
and enough votes were mustered to
save the repeating section of the bill.
In the fight to save the present law,
Democrats and Progressives united
against the Republicans. Final con-
sideration of the bill was postponed
to give way to a special order for con-
sideration of a long list of banking
bills on the calendar.
Speaker Stone, who two years ago
supported the nonpartisan judiciary
bill, today took the floor for it's re-
peal. He declared that the bill which
was in strong favor among both Re-
publican and Democratic members in
1913. had since proven a failure. He
stated that nonpartisan law affect
ing only district judges might be a
good thing. AS for the election of
Justices of the supreme court without
party designation, Stone urged that
the law as now in operation had fail
ed to satisfy the people OF to bring
desired results.
Lamb Of Montgomery defended his
bill and Terrell of Chautauqua urged
its passage. During the debate, Whip
Travis lined up the Republican side
OF the house and was able to deliver
enough votes to save the vital section
OF the bill, although the total vote
cast for the repeating section was five
votes short of a constitutional ma
jOrity.
A hard fight for the present law
was made by Wayman Of Lyon, Pro-
gressive. Wayman's speech brought
the Progressive forces to the support
of the measure and all but two Demo-
crats-Brice and Thompson-voted to
keep the present law on the statute
books. 1t was clean cut, definite di-
motion to strike out section one. the
repeating clause, was made by Hem
bricks of Rawlins, Democrat On a
rising vote. the motion was beaten, So
to 40.
Final roll call on the bill may be

failing to make allowance for reduc-
tons in other departments Offsetting
the big building items, as well as by
comparing the recommendations of
the auditor this year with those made
by him in 1913.
On Report of Auditor.
This year the auditor, w. E. Davis,
submitted his estimates of necessary
appropriations at $8,258,0O0, while in
1918 he calculated that $11.OO0,OOO
would be required for the same pur-
recommendation of 1913, attention
was called to the fact that Auditor
Davis has not personally visited any
state institution in making up his
recommendations. This part of the
report said:
mate of appropriations this year and
two years ago is interesting. At the
beginning of his nineteenth biennial
report, recently issued, the auditor
recommends a total of $S,25S.OOO as
sufficient to cover appropriations this
year. Two years ago the same audi
tor, at the beginning of his biennial
report, suggested appropriations ag-
gregating over $11,O00,00O for the
same institutions and the same de-
partments of the state government.
This committee was unable two years
ago to see where such expenditures
as those embodied in the auditors
estimate OF appropriations were 5usti-
fled, and recommended appropriations
which, according to the governor
figures, total two million dollars less
than the auditors estimate. We are
unable now to see where the auditor
can find opportunity for such remark
able saving as he advocates, as COM
pared with two years ago, and con-
sequently again we are unable to
agree with his recommendation of APP
preparations.
"Perhaps also it is pertinent to di-
rect attention to the fact that those in
control of the different state institu-
tions who have appeared before our
committee have stated in every in
stance in reply to questions that SO far
as they know the auditor has never
visited any of the institutions within
the past year. although ne assumes 10
| direct the. legislature as to exactly
what they should or should not be
given in the way of appropriations"
Charges the House.
The senate committee charges the
house with failure or refusal to meet
it in conference. On this point 1t said:
This committee has stood ready
and. now stands ready to confer with
| the house committee upon any points
sent to the house committee the bills
] which this committee was supposed to

points they did not approve. In deal

fered no way of retreat. This is be-
cause the railways rum within the
German boundary and were not con-
structed to conduct armies into Rus
STA. When the Russians. therefore,
blame the railways for their defeat,
1t is because they couldn't use the
tracks for retreating. -
1t is obvious that no adequate use
was made of the German railways in
possession of the Slavs, for concen-
trating against Won = Hindenburg's
forces. This means the Russians suf-

fifty days of the session have passed.
There Is nothing for the statute book

promises in the party platform. Gov
ernor Capper will urge that the legis-

THE legislature ought not to con-

days time," said the governor to a
State Journal representative. "A fifty
day session should be a fifty DAYS of
