the word of those who have hith-
erto been the masters of German
policy, and to point out once more
that in concluding peace and at
tempting to undo the infinite i'll
Juries and injustices of this war
the government of the United
States cannot deal with any but
verltahle representatives of the
German people who have been as
surad Of a genuine constitutions,
standing as the real rulers Of
Germany. If it must deal with
the military masters and the
monarchial autocrats of Germany
now, or if it is likely to have to
have to deal with them later in
regard to the international obi
cations Of the German empire,
it must demand, not peace nego-
tiations. but surrender. Nothing
can be gained leaving this essen
tial thing unsaid.

ances of my high consideration.

TEXT OF WILSON'S NOTE
AGREEING TO SUBMIT
PEACE OFFER TO
ALLIES.

Washington. Oct. 23.-The te,
of President Wilson's reply
Germany's last peace note. i
which he agrees to submit tn
question Of an armistice to tn
Allies, is as follows:
Department Of State, Oct. q
|1sfs.
| "Sir:
Il have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your note o
the 22nd transmitting a commun
ication under date of the 2Otl
from the German government
and to advise you that the Presi
dent has instructed me to reply
thereto as follows:
Having received the solemn
and explicit assurance Of the Ger.
man government that it unre.
servedly accepts the terms oil
peace laid down in his address to
the Congress of the United
States on the 9th day of January,
1918, and the principles of settle
ment enunciated in his subse-
queht addresses, particularly the
address Of the 9th Of September,
and that it desires to discuss the
details of their application, and
that this wish and purpose eman-
ate, not from those who have
hitherto dictated German policy.
and conducted the present war on
Germany's behalf. but from min
listers who speak for the major
ity of the Reichstag and for an
overwhelming majority of the
German people; and having re
ceived also the explicit promise
of the present German govern
ment that the humane rules Of
civilized warfare will be observed
both on land and sea by the Ger
nan armed forces, the President
# the United States feels that he
cannot decline to take up with
he governments with which the |
government of the United States
5 associated the question Of an
rmistice.

he would feel justified

difficult for the sections of thu
state having low values, namely
the rural communities, to main
tain good schools.
Amendment No. 3. This pro
vides for a parish-wide tax ir
each parish Of mill and a hall
for school purposes. It's adoption
will enable more than half of the
parishes of the state to discon-
tinue the collection of all mainte-
nance school taxes that have been
provided in these parishes, and in
the other parishes the burden Of
special district maintenance taxes
will be reduced to the minimum,
and taxation for school purposes
placed on the parish as the unit,
where it belongs. It's adoption
will result in equal educational
opportunities for children, or as
nearly SO as this is possible, and
in equal taxation for school -pu-z
poses. Under present arrange
ments, one man may pay special
school tax of forty mills and
another no special school tax at
all, and yet the first man may
have no better school facilities
than has the second. If this
amendment is adopted. no man
can be required to pay more than
five mills special maintenance
tax, and very few districts in the
state will be required to pay even
that much. There may be par
ishes that will not need all of the
funds provided for by the mill
and half school tax in Amend
ment No. l and by the mill and a
half in Amendment No. 3. In
such cases the school boards will |
certify to the police juries the
3roportion Of these school taxes
hat will be required and the po-
ice juries will be governed ac-
'ordingly. A provision to this
fleet is in the amendment.

legislature T. use as much as one

Or the support Of the four state {
institutions entails q

there can be no overlapping schoo
districts for taxation purposes
and that no special school mainte
nance tax can be in excess Of fiv'
mills; and that where mainte
nance school taxes are now in ex
istence n excess Of five mills the,
will be reduced to five mills.
4. (Act 217 by Mr.. w. G
Jones.) This amendment pro
vides that at least one-third OF .
J mill of the state taxes be ap
propriated by the Legislature fol
the support of the State Uniyers
ity, the State Normal School, the
Louisiana Industrial Institute
and the Southwestern Louisiana
Industrial Institute. This one.
third of mill is not an additional
tax, but is to be taken out Of the
state tax Of two and aNhalf mills
mentioned under /.

ern.) This amendment removes
the Constitutional limitation Of
$1O,OO0.O0 by which the Legisial
ture must be governed in making
appropriations to Southern Uni
versity, and leaves the Legisla-
ture free to make such approIkria-
tions for the support Of that insti-
tuition as it may think proper.
Summary.
/. Reducing parish tax rates
by half and fixing the maximum
state tax rate at three mills.
2. A state tax Of one and a
half mills for public school pur-
poses.
3. Provides for a school tax in
Orleans parish of two and three
fourths mills. and in each Of the
other parishes one and half
mills; prevents overlapping school
districts for taxation purposes
and fixes five mills as the maxi
mum school tax for maintenance
purposes.
4. Requiring a minimum of

axes to be used for the support

ort of that institution as it may

1T is evident that the Germa,
people have no means of com
manding the acquiescence of the
military authorities Of the empire
in the popular will; that the pow
er Of the king of Prussia to con-
troll the policy of the empire is
unimpaired; that the determining
initiative still remains with those
who have hitherto been the mas
ters of Germany.
Feeling that the whole peace
of the world depends now on
plain speaking and straightfor-
ward action, the President deems
it his duty to say, without any
attempt to soften what may seem
harsh words, that the nations of
the world do not and cannot trust

to enforce any arrangements that
may 'be entered into and to make
a renewal Of hostilities on the
part of Germany impossible.
Has Transmitted It.
THE President has, Therefore,
transmitted his correspondence
with the present German authorl-
ties to the governments with
which the government of the
United States is associated as a
belllgerent with the suggestion
that, If those governments are
disposed to effect peace upon the
terms and principles indicated,
their military advisers and the
military advisers Of the United
States be asked to submit to the
governments associated against
Germany the necessary terms Of
such an armistice as will fully
protect the interests Of the peoples
involved, and ensure to the as
sociated governments the unre-
stricted power to safeguard and
enforce the details of the peace to
which the German governmnt
has agreed, provided they deem
such an armistice possible from
the military point of view.
Should such terms of armistice
be suggested, their acceptance by
Germany will afford the best con-
crete evidence of her unequivo-
cal acceptance of the terms and
principles of peace from which
the whole action proceeds.
"The President would deem
himself lacking in candor did ne
not point out. in the frankest pos
sible terms. the reason why ex-
traordinary safeguards must be
demanded. Significant and impor-
tant as the constitutional changes
seem to be which are spoken OF
by the German foreign secretary
in his note Of the Goth of Octo.
ber, it does not appear that the
principle of a government respon-
sible to the German people has
yet been fully worked out or that |
any guarantees either exist or are
IN contemplation that the altera-
lions Of principle now partially
agreed upon will be permanent.
it does not appear that
he heart Of the present diff
,ulty has been reached. It may
oe that future wars have been
'rought under the control Of the
ierman people, but the present
var has not been; and it is with
he present war that we are deal
ng.
Kaiser In Control.
Valdez daily prospector., 1918-03-21

THE TIME is rapidly approaching when the government will be forced to set a price on all necessities and see that the price fixed is rigidly ad- hered to. In no other way can strikes be prevented. The man who is getting four and five dollars a day for his la bor must receive wages in proportion to his expenses, and when expenses mount skyward, the price of labor also will climb. The real traitor to the country is the profiteer who is at tempting to make an exorbitant pro- fit out of this war, and who is the first to deny his labor a living wage. The solution of the question lies in the hands of the government. Draft ing labor can result in no lasting good if prices for necessities are allowed to run rampant.
