CENSUS HAS
NOTHING TO DO

Facts and Figures Gathered in Census
VIII Not Be Used in fixing Taxes,
Census Head Says.

Washington, October 21.-"That the
facts and figures gathered by the en-
umerators, supervisors and special
agents of the Fourteenth Decennial
Census will have absolutely nothing
to do with valuation of property for
taxation purposes is a point l desire
to emphasize with all possible vigor,"
said Director of the Census Sam l..
Rogers today in speaking of the forth
coming 1920 enumeration.
Some difficulty has been expert
enced in the past" continued Mr.. Rog-
ers, in getting absolutely accurate
values of land and other property be-
cause of a certain amount of confu-
sion over this point Many people
were enormously inclined to connect
the Census with taxation. We hope to
avoid any such confusion this time"

the Constitution, provides for the TAX

THE STRUGGLING CLERKS

In our struggle against the high
cost of living let's not forget the un-
fortunate army of salaried employees
who are vainly trying to meet the ris-
ing costs of living.
While the garbage men get $40 a
day, street car employees from $40 to
$50 week and other semi-skilled
workers are paid unprecedented wag-
es, the small salaried pen and ink
toiler is fighting desperately to keep
pace with eyer-rising price.
Some assistance must be given the
small salaried citizen, either in lower
living costs or higher returns, if he
is to keep in the race. 1t doesn't seem
fair that common laborer should get
twice as much money as the man who
works with his brain. Yet we find this
is often the case. Organized strikes
are continually hampering industry.
The poor clerks don't belong to un-
ions and, therefore, haven't chance
to strike. The result, obviously enough
is an unequal struggle for existence.

THE NEW BOOKS

1.-THE Political Scene" by Walter
Lippmann, will interest the rolitical
thinker
The war interrupted the course of
thought. This interruption was not at
first comprehended and statesmen
continued for while, and some still
continue, to think in old terms. A new
basis of thought has developed. These
are some of the ideas which are devel-
oped in "The Political Scene"
According to Mr. Lippmann's the
ory this is the explanation of some of
the apparent contradictions growing
out of the Peace Conference. The
book, which is a reprint of an article
originally appearing in the New Re-
public, is an argument in favor of the
League of Nations. The text of the
League covenant, as well as an ad-
dress made by Lippmann before the
American Academy of Political and
Social Science in 1917, is given as
appendices.

THE BLEMIsH ON OUR TOWN

Sometime ago Columbia women,
having the welfare and beauty of the
town at heart. conferred with Prof.
Horace Major, in regard to plan for
beautifying the grounds of the county
courthouse. The plans were presented
to the County Court who tucked them
away in drawer to await public pres
sure.
The courthouse, although not mod
el of cleanliness, is good piece of
architecture. The effectiveness of the
structure, however, is lost entirely
because of the straight diagonal walks
that cut the square lawn. The old
columns with their immense pedestals
are like ugly relics of an unlovely
past.
The plans drawn up by Professor
Major provide for the placing of BUSH
es in such a manner that the building
will not look as if it Just happened to
be there. The walks can be lifted and
their straight angular lines modified
without causing considerable time
to be lost in the journey from the
street to the building.
Vines could be grown about the old
columns and the harsh bare angles of
the pedestals would be relieved by
their clinging draperies. The bare
weather-worn grayness of the stone
would be attractive. and even beauti-
full, back of curtain of foliage.

DISPOSITION OF THE TREATY

now VIII the peace treaty with Ter
many eventually be disposed or! Con-
slderatlon OF the treaty i'll the Senate
has reached the point OF barter and
trade. The ratifiers, killers, reserva-
tionists, covenanters and amenders
are all jockying for position.
The situation as it stands today,
stripped of all camouf1age and claims
of contending factions, is: There are
few senators who believe the treaty
can be ratified as it now stands;
scarcely a senator believes the treaty
will be rejected. All senators agree
that there will be reservations and
that the treaty will eventually be rati-
fed.
There are four ways of disposing of
the peace treaty with Germany. The
first and easiest method is to ratify
the peace treaty and the covenant OF
the League of Nations, which is i'm
bedded in the treaty, as it now stands.
A second and somewhat more diff
ferent method is to leave the treaty
as it stands, but to make reservations
in the covenant of the League of Ma
tions. This is the plan of the mild"
reservationists and will be easier to
handle than the strong" reservation
lists who suggest third method of
disposition.
The strong" reservationists want
to make certain textual changes in the
treaty and in the covenant ITSELF They
have some forty amendments to the
treaty of peace and four reservations
for the covenant of the League of Ma
tions. Their reservations cover the
four points that are the chief subjects
of controversy. The right of withdraw
al; our exclusive jurisdiction over our
domestic affairs; full recognition of
luc NuOulOC AoSti lhS, SuPA Va
Congress in the Interpretation and ap-
Dlication of our obligations under Ar
ticle X
A fourth method of disposing of the
peace treaty is by making certain res
ervations in the way of interpreta-
tion as to the meaning of the treaty
and the covenant.
1t is almost certain now that some
concessions in the way of reservations
will have to be made to secure ratifi-
cation. 1t would be advisable to reach
some compromise between those who
favor the treaty without reservations
and those who are in favor of it with
conservative reservations of an inter-
pretive character.
The four methods of disposition are
before Congress and the public is
waiting anxiously for the ultimate
choice. Will the treaty be ratified as
it stands? Will it be amended as the
mild" reservationists desire? AS the
strong reservationists desire? Or
will there be reservations of an inter-
pretive character?

.OH|O VOTERS HAVE
 REFERENDUM RIGHT

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 19.-Right of Ohio voters to approve or disapprove the action of the state legislature m ratifying federal constitutional amend ments was upheld today by Judge F. E. Dillon of the Franklin county common pleas court. The decision, unless re- versed by higher courts, will permit a referendum to be held on both the fed eral prohibition and woman suffrage amendments, which the legislature mas ratified.
 The decision was rendered in the case brought by George F. Hawke of Cincin- nati, against Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith, 10 enjoin him from accept ing referendum petitions on the resoIu tior of the legislature ratifying the fed eral prohibition amendment, on the ground that the resolution could not be referred to the voters and that the ac ton of the legislature was final Dry leaders who were backing the suit filed by Hawke also contended that inasmuch as the federal constitu ton says ratification shall be made oy the state legislatures the state constr ution providing for a referendum is out Of harmony with the federal constitu tion and therefore void.
 On this question. Judge Dillon held that the framers of the federal eonsi- tuition intended the term Legislature. to mean that "body or bodies in whics l lie he full and final expression Of fne will of the people"

 CABINET RESIGNS
Chamber of Deputies Dis credits Premier 259 to IS = Resignation Quickly Follows-King Withholds His Acceptance
IRepubIican 4. ?. Leased Wire1


 ROME, June 19.-The Italian gov ernment resigned this evening, follow ing an adverse vote against it in the chamber of deputies.
 Premier Orlando, in announcing his resignation and that of the cabinet. said King Victor Emmanuel had re- served decision as to acceptance
 The chamber of deputies had by a vote of 259 to 7S rejected Premier Orlando's motion in favor of discuss ing the question of confidence which related to the foreign policy Of the government, in secret session.
 The government, headed by Victoria Orlando, prime minister, was defeated in the chamber of deputies today on 8 vote of confidence, and when the chamber adjourned this evening it was expected that Signor Orlando would shortly announce the resignation of the cabinet.
 Prior to the vote, Premier Orlando in addressing the chamber said:
 "Italy's peace with Germany and Austria has been solved in a manner with which, on the whole, 1 feel satis- fled"
 Insisting on the necessity of a sec ret session, the premier declared the government needed greater confidence and would treat his motion for a secret session as a quesction of confidence.
 The socialists immediately opposed this.
 Signor Orlando said his position had been great aggravated by international events during the second fortnight of April. He referred to President Will sons message regarding the Adriatic question. The Italian delegation at the peace conference, the premier added J had followed this policy
 "First-Maintain with firmness all | the essential points of the Italian claims, without which Italy is con vinced peace will be neither pust nor adequate to the immense sacrifices suffered.
 "Second-Remain falthful to youI duties toward the allies.
 'Third-Avoid any blind form oi | obstinate action. Indeed, facilities conciliatory suggestions capable oi i producing accord in the conference over the problems concerning Italian l frontiers"
 ! Signor Orlando urged parliament tc 'separate the discussion of foreign af- l fairs from the internal policy of the { country, the latter being very virtually absorbed in the grave question of higf cost of living.
