OLD TAX CASE
HOODOO AGAIN

Caught by his own testimony
was Morris Redonski, respondent
in the army post suit Wednesday.
Two years ago a number of tax
payers of the outlying districts
brought suit against the county to
have their taxes lowered. Redon-
ski at that time testified, it is
claimed, that his land was the
poorest in the state of Washing
ton and was worth practically
nothing.
He said 1t required two days to
pillow one acre of land because it
was SO rocky. He also said that
1t took seven acres of that land
to support one sheep.
In the army post suit he is ask
ing $1,000 for about 800 acres.
When called to the stand
Wednesday morning he claimed
his land was very valuable. When
confronted with the affidavit to
which it is claimed he swore in
the previous suit he said he never
said such things and that If he
did he did not say them on a wit
ness stand. If he was on the
stand he did not know 1t, he said.

Taunt Germans on
Junkerdom Demand

PETROGRAD, Jan. 2. The
Brest-Ltovak peace conference
broke UP with the Russian dele
gates taunting the German con-
ferees IN the demands of junker-
dom, according to returning boil
sheviki members today.
The Germans, it was said, ex-
pressed their willingness to evacu-
ate all of white Russia, but an
nounced flat refusal to withdraw
from Riga, Libau or other of the
big cities, except in the event of
general peace.
"A The scheme, as the Russians
saw it, was for the Germans to
keep great bodies of tropos in
these sections until, as provided
under other sections of the pro-
posed agreement, the people in
those territories had voted on their
future government. Under such
a German system OF garrisoning
the Russians felt there would be
entirely too much German influ-
,ence exerted on the voters.
The Russian members declared
openly their establishment that
even Prussian junkers had the
audacity to make such a PROPOSE
tion, haunting the German dele
gates with the reminder they
would have a hard time explain
ing 1t to their own democrats.

negotiations, which establishes
the honesty of the bolsheviki pur-

"The central powers made a
more detailed statement of their
terms than which has been pub
lished, including therein a demand
that German garrisons be retained
at Riga, Libau and other stra-
tegic points.
THE Russians were uncom-
prom'singly against this.
THE Germans asked for time
in which to consider this refusal
by the Russians and also begged
that this stage of the negotiations
be not published. The Russians
refused this plea and left Brest-
Litovak.
Red guards are now being sent
to reinforce front and other

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. q.
Herbert Hoover today answer
ed criticisms of his food admins
tration when he testified before
the senate sugar probe commit
tee.
High food prices he attributed
partly to greatly increased per
capital gold circulation and sud
den conversion of thousands OF
men from producers to consum-
ers only.
Senator Reed, chairman of the
committee and violent critic OF
Hoover, turned over cross-exami-
nation to Senator Lodge when
the hearing began. Reed devot-
ed his time to chewing gum and
looking bored.
Lodge opened up on high prices
at the outset.
The first clash of the hearing
came when Lodge sought to go
into Hoover's testimony last May
before the senate agricultural COM
mittee.
Hoover didn't want to discuss
this testimony. 1T was given in
executive session." he said.
"You stated at that time that
there would be a sugar shortage
in October?" asked Lodge.

IT said the available sugar In
the United States would be ex-
hausted by October, but l said IL
In executive session." said Hoov-
or. Had / understood my testi-
mony would be made public
should not have been able to
speak so frankly. I had no desire
to spread such an alarming state
ment."
Hoover said that when he found
there had been leak" from
the senate committee, he wrote
Senator Gore, chairman Of the
committee, protesting against the
making public Of portions Of the
Hoover statement.
THE giving out of the state
ment means an immediate in

Just why didn't you want this
statement given out when you
later gave interviews stating IL
was desirable to create an imagi-
native alarm to aid saving?"
asked Lodge.
II didn't want to create this
imaginative alarm with regard to
a hypothetical condition which
might occur with regard to
sugar." replied Hoover. II did
want to create it with regard to
the whole food situation, so the
people would conserve all foods.
ut was proper to tell the peo-
pie of the country that a world
shortage was looming up and that
the allies would have to go sugar
less unless we saved" said Hoo
|ver warmly.
