PRESIDENT
GOESBEFORE
CONGRESS
Lays Down Basis for NegOtia-
tiOnS and Says Austria
Comedies Principles.
.CBy United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. II.
President Wilson today
openly invited Austria to
further discussion of peace
with the United States.
In remarkable address to con-
gress in joint session the president
laid down the basis for such nego
tiation.
Austria, he said. seeing and con
ceding the essential principles in
volved and the necessity of can
didly applying them can respond
to the purpose of peace as express
ed by the. United States with less
embarrassment than could Ger
many.
The president was gratifed. he said.
a the friendly tone" of the Austrian
premier. He characterized Count Hert-
ling's reply as vague and confusing.
full of equivocal phrases and certainly
in a very different tone from that OF
Count Czernin and of apparently of an
opposite purpose"
No peace is possible he declared, on
Hertlings basis. Individual barter and
concession
The address was another proadsfCe in
the presidents world campaign of open
air democracy"
It embodied an open bid to Austria
and a powerful stroke at the German
militarists. 1t aimed to widen the wage
between the Teuton peoples and their
junker ruler.
Until such peace can be obtained.
we have no choice but to 20 on
Germany. the president said. is trying
TO arrange a peace following the
methods of the congress at Vienna we
cannot and will not return to that"
on the other hand Count Czernin. the
Austrian premier, he said. seems to see
the fundamental elements of peace with
clear eyes and does not seek to obscure
them"
He expressed belief that Czrnin would
have gone much further in his reply TO
the presidents last speech If it had not
been for Austria's alliance with and de-
pendence upon Germany"
The president laid down the basis OF
future negotiations on the following
terms
First: That each part of the final set
tlement must be based on the essential
justice of that particular case and upon
such adjustments as are most likely to
bring a peace that viii be permanent;
Second: That peoples are not to be
bartered about as if they were mere
chattels or pawns in game. even the
great game now forever discredited in
the balance of power:
Third: Every territorial settlement
involved in this war must be made IN
the interests and for the bettermcnt of
the populations concerned ana not as a
part of any mere adjustment or com
promise of claim among rival states;
Fourth: That all well defined aspira-
tions shall be accorded the utmost sat
isfaction that can be accorded them
without introducing new or perpetual
ing old elements of discord and antag-
ouism that would be likely in time TO
break the peace of Europe and conse-
quently Of the world.
a general peace if rested upon such
terms" he said. can be discussed"

TAX 7 SALE
ILLEGAL
THEY SAY
City Administration Fails
to Observe Law and Fear
ful Muddle Will Now Take
Place About Titles.
Somebody blundered,

Somebody blundered,
And as a result the annual sale of
property for delinquent taxes held at
the city hall this morning might as well
never have take place.
For it was illegal
The list of land and lots according to
the law as stated Shy different lawyers
provides that in cities of over 10000 in
habitants the delinquencies must be ad-
vertised in q daily newspaper where
there is one. The law also provides that
the lots shall be advertised for twenty
one days before the sale.
The first advertisement was dated on
January "a in the Lake County News a
weekly paper. but the issue was not put
il circulation until the 2Sth of January.
Thus the sale of property at the city
hall this morning was Illegal for two
reasons. Lawyers declare that the bad
double error not only knocks out the
sale Of whatever lots were sold. compli-
Gates tax titles which would have been
given this year. but puts the tax col
lecting department in a pretty pickle.
There are those who declare, however.
that the sale was legal and il didn't
seem TO make much difference with the
buyers as a whole the list was pretty
well cleaned up. Blocks of choice lots
were gobbled up at time and the sale
which was held in the council room. did
not last more than an hour
A list Of the lost remaining unsold is
now being compiled by City Treasurer
F. Bielefeld. The principal bidders at
the sale was the Gostlin x Meyn Co.
Hammond Savings and Trust Co. and
Hammond Finance Co. of Hammond.

I 81
The attorney general has ruled that
chapter 341. laws of 1913, relating
to the assessment Of banks, is uncon-
stitutional. Under this law holders
Of stock in national banks were AZ
sessed individually for the amount Of
their stock. but shares Of astate bank
were asse ssed to the bank. The fed
eral law prescribes thatSthere shall be
no Discrimination made between state
and national banks. The discrimina-
ton arises from the fact that many
of the banks have invested large
part 81 their capital stock in govern
ment bonds, which are exempt from
taxation. The state bank would there
fore deduct the amount Of bonds in
listing it's capital stock to the asses
cor, while the stockholder in 9 nation.
al bank would be required to list his
stock in full. Under the ruling 81
the attorney general the old law d
1903 will be in force.

$3.50. 5OO
It is quite evident from these fig
ures that the people Of the county do
not yet generally realize the magni-
tude Of the undertaking to raise over
/ million dollars in the county by the
sale of thrift stamps. It is true that
all over the country large number
Of people are taking lively interest
in the matter and doing their patriotic
duty, still very large proportion do
not realize the size of the undertake
ing. If Bon Homme County is to
buy its allotment every citizen old
and young must become interested and
help by savins and buying stamps and
urging others to do the same. Every.
body should at once at least double
the amount of stamps now owned,
and the well-tn-do should buy in larg-
er amounts. In order to fill our quota
it will be necessary to have several
81, 600 purchases and many $500 or
over purchasers in every precinct. In
the last four weeks over $40, 900
have been sold by an active canvass
in all parts Of the county, but the
committee had hoped to sell twice
that amount.
The government is now urging all
committees TO make a more active
canvass and secure if possible from
tvo-thirds to three-fourths Of the al
lotment in cash and the balance in
pledges before Jnly 1. With this
object in view, understand the Pres
ident and Governors Of many states
will soon BY proclamation appoint
June % % War Savings Day. Before
that day / hope that Bon Homme Co. /,
one Of the richest farming counties in
the U. 8. will 30 well over the top.

more ia the next six weeks, and WI
lean do this By appealing 70 those who
ars able to take larger amounts. II
