PENALTY ADDED JULY iST.
Only About One third Of City's Mer-
chants Have Taken Annual License.

There now is only one more week
left for paying mercantile license fees
at the Office Of the clerk Of the peace, at
the Public Building, the time limit ex-
piring on July |. After that date penalty
of per cent will be charged and this
penalty is again increased after August |.
Only about one-third OF the merchants
Of the city have taken out licenses. It IS
reported, and great rush is expected
during the coming week.
Many merchants are paying larger
license fees than formerly, apparently
remembering the penalties attached to
failure to render correct afhdav,ts last
year and the consequent trouble INTO
which they were brought on that ac-
count One merchant who paid IL
cense of only IS and fraction last year
declared for license Of nearly $50 this
year.
Action of all these merchants Is COM
mendah lc. according TO John Titus, state
revenue collector, but there viii bc no
relaxation of vigilance as preventive
against infringement of the law.

Nothing shows more conelusively the
decline of the Prussian military power
than the hurried efforts of the Russian
bolsheviki to get onto speaking terms
with the entente nations again through
proposals for peace negotiations. Their
strong side partners sword having be.
come twisted and dulled, they are seurry-
ing for whatever safety they can find
and they have no pride to prevent them
from trying to scrape friendship with
the nations which, short time ago, they
were louting and defying. Tnasmuch as
most Of the entente nations have had
nothing to do with the bolshevik govern
ment in the way Of official recognition,
it seems that Russia will have TO pass
through somewhat of regeneration be-
fore the bolsheviki win enjoy the conf.
dence of the entente. There are several
matters of record which have been en-
tirely hostile to the purposes and intent
of the allied powers which render the
bolshevik government not at all pleasing
TO the United States and our allies.
