GERMAN AUTOCRACY"

Der Of the Federal Council he can
only command seventeen votes out Of
a total Of ffty-eight.
"It will then appear that, ever in
the Federal Council, the Prussian
president might easily be outvoted on
any question; as he was, for example,
in the case Of the Supreme Court Of
the empire, which was located at
Leipzig instead Of Berlin. A Bill
which is passed by the Reichstag and
approved by the Federal Council be
comes law whether the emperor, as
King Of Prussia, has voted for it or
not; and then the imperial president
has no separate veto power, no
choice but to execute the combined
decision of the German people and
German princes. But now q word as
to the Reichstag, or National AS
sembly, Of which, by the way, the
members are now paid, and which is
often described as a mere money
voting and law asserting machine"
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The power Of the Reichstag
to reject measures placed before it
by the Imperial Government is abb
solute, and the Government has no
means of %coercing its will. True.
the Kaiser, with the assent of his
fellow s~overeigns in the Union, may
dissolve Parliament, but so can Eng
lands King on the advice of his
premier; and to dissolve a Par
lament is not to dragon it.
"Dissolutions Of the German Par
lament have always taken the form
Of a plebiscite, a referendum, .
direct appeal from the partytorn
representatives Of the German people
themselves, and in nearly all such
cases the reply has been decidedly in
favor of the Government. Power Of
purse is exercised as absolutely by
the German Reiehstag as by the
House of Commons, and the Kaiser
cannot put a new warship on thC
sea, or add a single mar to the
Army without the sanction of the
German people"

Fl u ABOUT
~KRONSTADT.
Owing to fragmentary and {

Owing to fragmentary and con-
tradicting messages there was
considerable doubt as to how
Kronstadt stands, but yester'
DAVIS New York Times in a
cabled review Of the situation
permits us to know that the
revolution is by no means at
an end and that harsh measures
may be necessary. The eor'
respondent says, in part: The
conflict with Kronstadt has
again become acute. After the
visit Of Ministers Tseretelli and
Skobeleff to the refractory IS
landers a compromise was patch-
ed up in the shape Of a formal
recognition by the Kronstadt
Council Of the authority OF the
Provisional Government. The
recognition was a very limping
one, and contained a wholly un-
satisfactory clause to the effect
that Kronstadt should have the
right to elect a representative
Or Governor in the island. This
lettering settlement lasted only
one day. As soon as the mini
sters had left the Maximallst
agitators got to work, the de-
.ision of the local council gem
sral was reversed and on Thurs
day evening a delegation came
10 inform the Provisional Cow
eminent that the declaration OF
independence still remained in
force. Meantime very strong
feeling had been rising in Pc
trograd against Kronstadt and
even from distant province Sa-
ratoff a meeting of peasants
t~elegraphed a protest against
the laxity Of the Government in
permitting such open defiance
Of authority. The Provisional
Government decided on Thurs
day night to take strong mea-
sures and on Friday at a full
meeting OF the Petrograd Coun-
ill of Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates it was resolved to
sharply condemn the Kronstadt
Council and to demand imme-
date and complete submission
10 the Provisional Government.
So far the country has hardly
had an opportunity to realize
that the humane and amiable
men who form the Russian exc
cutive are actually a Govern
ment. The Kronstadt incident
is both stupid and dangerous,
but it is a good test case, and
if the Government is able to act
firmly here it means that the
principle Of authority is begin
ming to take root IN revolution

MEDLEY OF ROC WILL
BE HARD TO HANDLE.

The French contingent is
largely composed of colonial in
fantry, which, though white
troops, do not rank as troops,
and of colored colonial troops
among whom Senggalese pre-
dominate. The British force is
said by competent observers to
be below the average value OF
British forces. There are some
Russians, the remainder of those
brought to this front months
ago, now not very numerous,
and some 10000 or $4,000 Ser
bans, the best troops of the lot.
There are also a very large force
of Italiens, line regiments, but
largely newly recruited troops
To these add a couple OF
hundred thousand Greeks, who
will hardly be inspired with the
same enthusiasm they have dis
iplayed in the recent wars
wherein they fought as free
men.
This medley of troops, from
the very fact alone that they
! speak so many different Ian.
guages, will be difficult to-
handle.
The second weakness, but one
which may be remedied before
the offensive begins, is in the
high command. Numerous mil-
itary authorities in his own
country consider Serial, the
commander-in-chief a political
and not a military general.
The third weakness is, that
communication between this
force and its bases is extremely
liable to interruption more or
less complete, and the difficulty
of feeding and supplying this
army with munitions Of war,
etc, under such circumstances
will be anything but an easy
task.
And, finally, it is an unsafe
assumption to consider that they
Twill overwhelmingly outnumber.
their opponents. Bulgaria has
suffered very little comparative
ely so far in the war, and
Turkey has for a long time heidi
Ia considerable sized army ready.
for a move Of the present
character, to say nothing Of the
help which may and will be ext
TENDED by Germany and Austria.
However, nothing can be said
as to the outcome of this move
until it is much further devel-
oped than at present.

Horse. Fall 1000 Feet

A four-horse team and wagon load
ed with parcel post mail tumbled
over the Crippen grade near Jar
bidge and dashed to destruction down
an almost perpendicular precipice to
the bottom 1000 feet below. The
driver and ownor, H. P. Craig,
jumped in time to escape, while the
front team succeeded in getting a
toe hold and breaking loose from the
wagon. 1t is estimated that the team
that went over the precipice was
worth $500. Many of the parcel post
packages will be recovered.

Dispatches of January 81 disclose
the fact of Germany's intention to
tighten up her blockade by undersea
craft on the Allies, especially around
the British Isles.
Germany has issued an ultimatum
defining to the United States her
reasons for the steps she has taken
in this matter, describing the limits
of the blockade and warning US that
we may expect trouble if her condi-
tons are not complied with. Only
one English port is left open to regu-
lar American passenger steamers
after February l. and that is Fall
mouth. These steamers have to be
marked in the way specified by Ger
many, and only one steamer a week
may sail in each direction, arriving
at Falmouth on Sunday and depart
ing therefrom on Wednesday. The
United States Government must
guarantee that such passenger steam
ers carry no contraband according
to the German contraband list.
Germany justifes this step Of
seeming ruthless warfare on the
ground that her own people are fac.
ing the possibility of starvation and
that this step has been taken in or
der to bring England to terms by
cutting off her outside food supply
This supply, according to Germany

NYE C0UNTrs BULLION TAX
Grand Jury Reports Mining Com.
panies Owe County and State
$290,517.70 in Unpaid
Taxes

Tonopah Times, Jan. 30: The
grand jury filed with Judge Averil
in the district court last night Its
preliminary report covering the col
lection of bullion taxes in Nye Coun-
ty. The report, which was submit.
ted to the grand jury by Oyster and
Odds, accountants employed by the
grand jury to investigate the records
in the sheriff's office a to the collec-
ton of bullion taxes, declares that
different mining companies in the
district owe the county and State
the enor nous sum of 1920. 517.70 in
unpaid bullion taxes.
The report, which is quite voiumin'
Gus, shows the amount of bullion
taxes paid in to the sheriff's office,
for several years back, the bullion
reports made to the sheriff's office by
mining companies and figures from
other company reports which the &C.
c~ountants had obtained. These lat.
ter reports, the accounts say, show
a greater production than the ones
submitted to the county. The re-
port carries with it a number of sug-
gestions and much information which
will prove invaluable to the grand
jury in carrying on its Investigations.
The report of Oyster and Odds,
after being adopted by the grand
jury. was in turn submitted to the
court.
The grand jury recommended to
the court that the books of the vari
Gus mining companies be audited fol

recommended that in the event of q
suit that the very best counsel OBJ.

Senator NeWlaudS OF
Nevada Is In Bad

Senator Newlands recently admit
ted in the Senate that he furnished
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Daniels with a copy of Senator Cum
Minis speech delivered in executive
session of the Senate. Newlands
said he had no idea that the secrecy
of the Senate was to be invoked in
order to keep the appointee of the
President from knowing that objec-
tons were urged against his confirm
alton.
Cummins was told that his speech
attacking Daniels. had been trans
mitted to Daniels by Newlands. 81
hope that the penalty for violating
the secrecy of the Senate will not be
imposed" said Cummins. 1T would
be a misfortune for the Senate and
the whole country if the Senator
from Nevada would be expelled from
this body"
After two hours of executive de-
bate the Senate decided to postpone
indefinitely the action of the resolu-
ton to investigate the leak. This
means that the incident will probably
be dropped.

PROTEST AGAINST THE
new PAYDAY BILL
Stockmen, Farmers and Employees
in Many Parts Of Nevada Don't
Want SINH Monthly
Payday

The and farmers through.
out the northern and eastern part OF
the State are sending in a protest
against the passage of the so-called
semi-monthly payday bill, which has
been introduced in the Legislature
by Assemblymen Griffith and Fulmer,
says the Humboldt Star.
1t is understood that the regular
employees of the different ranches
throughout this section are openly
opposed to such a measure becoming
a law. The greater part of the en-
ployes on the ranches are well salts
fed with the present conditions and
do not want such a bill to pass. 1t
is stated that in many instances wages
are left with the employer to &C
