Inc Italian uelekdliOH 10 THO
peace conference reasserted today
its determination to stand firm
on the question of Fiume. in
dicating that unless the council chang
ed its position the delegation would
not return to the conference.
An early settlement of the difficult
ties is consequently thought to be inn
probable, especially as President Will
son is understood to be equally as firm
as the Italian representatives
With Premier Orlando still absent,
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George and President Wilson resumed
this morning the consideration OF
questions concerning Chine and Jap
an.
The Allied and associated govern
ments have informed the German gov
ernment through General Ludant sc
Spa that thev are ready to receive the
German delegates at Versailles on
April 2s.
The German delegates to the peace
congress probably will leave Berlin
on April 2s and will arrive in Versail-
les on May 1. according to message
from Berlin transmitted by the Zu-
rich correspondent of LInformation.
The facts of the deadlock over the
Italian claims in the Adriatic, accord
ing to the Petit Partisan are as fol-
lows:
president Wilson proposed that
Ffume which is not mentioned In the
treaty of London should be q ct*s-
but attached to rti-sN'ngo
toms system and. further. that tn,
London treaty should be subjected tc
a total revision"

GIVE REASONS
FOR TAX GAIN
Tax Table Received by Collect
or of Revenue Great Many
Exemptions

The tax table for all places in the
county has been received by Collector
of Revenue Ellsworth B. Walker,
giving the final figure for this city.
which is. as stated before, $3.36 on
the hundred dollars of assessed val
uation. making a raise over the rate
for last year of forty points.
The strictly local tax this year is
$227, as against $1.9S for last year,
or an increase of twenty-ni cents
for local taxes. The county tax rate
for this year is 5 .71904 as against
S .62953 for last year, an increase of
s .O8951. The state school tax shows
an increase of .02256, the figure last
year having been $ .24S37 and for this
year s .27O93.
The increases in the three items
make the forty points difference.
Some idea of the reason for the
increase can be given in showing the
increase in the total of county taxes
appropriated, the deductions and the
net county taxes apportioned to the
various municipalities. For 1918 the
total county taxes appropriated
amounted to $720,761.41 and the de-
duction of s10,514.12 for bank stock
taxes due the county left net county
tax apportioned of $710,247.29. For
this year the total county taxes ap-
propriated amount to 1927, 7,251.14,
which with deductions for bank stock
tax due of $10.208.12, leaves a net
county tax apportioned of $817,043.-
OF. This means an increase to be
raised for the county expenses of
$106,795.93.
The net valuation taxable for 1919
is less by s134.485 than the same item
last year. There were a great many
exemptions granted by the county
board and also by city officers on
realty here which makes a very con-
siderable difference in the city rate,
as does the fact that there was very
little property improved by building
operations.
The value of property with i'm
provements for this year is but $42,-
IT'S more than last year. The amounts
deducted from the total assessed val
uation of the city under Chapter 81
of the laws of 1910 and Chapter 1873
of the laws of 1912 amount TO $314,-
376 for this year as against $246,02
for last year. making a loss in reve-
nue. Of the tax on the s4O,356 deduc-
ton.
The collectors Office force is busily
engaged in getting the books in con-
dition for the mailing of the bills,
which are now in the hands of the
printer and should reach the taxpay-
ers within three weeks.

NOTHING DOING

The Democratic administration went
into war unprepared and came out I'M

cent congress will make return to
peace conditions the least bit easier.
And the administration was warned,
appealed to and argued with, but it
would make no effort to get ready for

to come.

states could be used to feed our SOL
diers and our allies in Europe.
Ignored Nations Appeal
Instead of complying with this re-
quest to help win the war, and getting
in line with other sections of the
United States which were making
great sacrifices, the southern planters,
instead Of raising less cotton increased
their cotton acreage 80 per cent over
the previous year. They planted ST.
| 073,000 acres. An editorial in the
Memphis Appeal, April IA, 1918, re-
lates a conversation between a south
ern cotton planter and one of his ne
gro tenants. The negro wished to
heed the request of the government
and plant more food crops. The plan
ter said, You cannot stay on my farm
and grow anything except cotton so
long as cotton is bringing 35 cents a
pound"
There were thousands of such plant
ers in the South, judging from the
tremendous increase of cotton acreage
in direct defiance of the request of the
United States Food Administration.
They preached the philosophy that the
planter now had a chance to get rich
and he would be a fool to raise less
cotton.
But these same planters, who re-
fused to reduce their cotton acreage
to help their country when it was at
war, are now forming an alright or
ganization to reduce their cotton acre
age one-third in order that they may
maintain the price of cotton at fic-
titious level. During the war the cot
ton interests in the solid South were
successful in preventing the govern
ment fixing the price of cotton. As
result cotton sold for higher price
than ever before in the history of the
United States, and the greatest in
crease in the cost of living to the
American household was in the item
of clothing.
Violation of Public Prophecies
Now that the shoe is on the other
foot and the price of cotton is going
down in response to the natural laws
of supply and demand, these same in
terests are forming an organization so
to decrease the production of otton
that war prices will be maintained.
Such a proposition is not only an un
sound one from a standpoint of eco
Monies, but it is pernicious one from
the standpoint of public morals. 1t is
on a par, morally, with the dealer in
food who would wantonly destroy i'm
mense quantities of food stuffs rather
than let them be sold to the people
at fair price. The American citizen
will be unable to see, in the last an
alysis, any difference between men
who would refuse to produce fuel in
order to bull the market, or the far
mer who would destroy or refuse to
produce food in order that he might
grow rich though exhorbitant prices
which the artificial scarcity enabled
him to charge, and the cotton planter
who does the same thing in order to
maintain the price of raw cotton at
the fabulous level of 35c.
