Powell Favorable to
Increased Rates

Additional allowances for newspa-
pers which published the constitution
al amendments in 1915 and 1916 will
be proposed by Auditor General Pow
ell at the next meeting of the Board
OF Public Accounts, of which he is a
member. He will move an additional
payment for 1915 of 5 per cent. over
the rate allowed for 1914; and of 90
per cent for 1916, over the 1914 rate
L nave consulted Attorney General
Brown and State Treasurer Young, the
other members of the board, and am
convinced that the action will be unan-
lmous as is required by law Pres
sure in the matter of these accounts
has been removed" said the Auditor
General, "and we can now act with
out appearing to yield to such infiu-
ences as formerly were brought to
bear. L believe the newspapers which
published the amendments in 1915
and 1916 are entitled to additional al
lowances. Settlements were made on
the old basis; but the cost of publish
ing sharply increased in 1915, and has
gone still higher this year. Print
paper has advanced to figures discour-
aging to the publisher, the metal he
uses has gone up, and most newspaper
payrollS have increased because of
necessary raising of salaries and
wages. Many publishers have had to
increase the price of copies sold, but
this covers only n fraction of the diff
ference in production cost Simply
as a square deal proposition, the State
ought to recognize that the advertis-
ing service it received in 1915 and
1916 should be paid for at u reason
ably higher rate than in 1914"

Austria Is Said to
Be Seeking Peace at
Almost Any Price

London, Dec 2S. - The Budapest
correspondent of the Morning Post
sends the following under date of De-
cember 16:
"Since the peace offer was made the
new Emperor-K King has been in con-
stant consultation with his advisers
He has seen Count Tisza twice. Count
Berchtold is almost always in attend
ance. 1t is well known the latter has
great influence with the Emperor
who considers him the most able dip
lomatist of the monarchy.
Hidden stocks of foodstuffs and
soap have suddenly appeared on the
market, and everything shows q ten
dency toward improvement, as II
peace was just question of day or
two. The most curious thing of all is
that in spite of hourly reports of the
unfavorable reception of the offer in
the different entente countries, the
tendency to believe in peace is firm
and has remained so since Tuesday
last.
In financial circles this is attributed
to news from Vienna, where there is
a tendency to believe the new Emper-
or has firmly decided to carry the
scheme through at whatever cost and
that he will not drop IT even if a re-
fusal should be the answer of the en-
tente powers to the peace note. They
say that in that case he will repeat
the offer with or without Germany,
giving more elaborate terms, such
terms, in fact as would insure q favor
able reception of the offer

Little Change in Official
Text of Peace Note

Washington, Dec. 2S. - The official
text of Germany's reply to President
Wilson's peace note was received here
it was unaccompanied by any other
communication and was said to be
substantially the same as the unoffi-
cial text received Tuesday from Ber-
lin.
Tie official text which differs some
in phraseology from the unofficial, fol-
lows:
THE Imperial government has ac-
cepted and considered in the friendly
spirit which is apparent in the COM
munication of the President, the noble
initiative of the President looking TO
the creation of bases for the founda-
ton of a lasting peace.
The President discloses the aim
which lies next to his heart and leaves
the choice of the way open.
"A direct exchange of views ap-
pears to the imperial government as
the most suitable way of arriving at
the desired result. The imperial gov
ernment has the honor therefore in
the sense of its declaration of the
peace negotiations to propose speedy
assembly on neutral grounds, of dele
gates of the warning states.
1T is also the view OF the Imperial
government that the great work Tor
the prevention of future wars can first
be taken up only after the ending of
the present conflict of exhaustion
The Imperial government is ready
when this point has been reached, to
cooperate with the United States al
this sublime task"

not, would require the roads to re-
