Already more than 1000 receipts for

The majority have paid with very
little protest or objection. but some
have expressed the most emphatic dis
approval of the law. However, the
general sentiment is about like that
expressed by well known citizen
who said:
Il do not object at all to paying

evidence within unreasonable time that
it is going to do some good If | sec.

WILSON IS NOT HOSTILE.
Believes Question of Shantung
Pact Can Be Settled.
Indicates to Senator He Is WILLING to
Accept Reservations in League
of Nations Pact.

Washington, July 26.-Diplomatic
discussions with Japan over the Shan
tung provision in the peace treaty
have reached stage where Presid-
dent Wilson is represented as very
hopeful of developments that will
clear the air and remove much of
the senate opposition.
This Interpretation of the Presi-
dents expectations was expressed by
Senator Spencer, Republican, Nilsson
ri, after long talk with Mr.. Wilson.
The Senator declined to go into de-
tails and both the White House and
the State department were silent on
the subject. There were indications
that the conversations with Japan,
though quite informal in character,
had as their object such declaration
from Toxic as would satisfy China
and result in her acceptance of the
treaty.
Senator Spencer also discussed with
thu President the subject of reserva-
tons in senate Publications of the
treaty, taking with him draft of five
reservations drawn up and submitted
to the President, it is understood, at
the suggestion of Chairman Lodge of
the foreign relations committee. The
draft also is said to have been shown
to other Republicans. but Mr.. Spencer
made it clear that he alone stood
sponsor for their phraseolOgy.
The reservations submitted are In
some respects similar to the interpre-
tations proposed as middle ground
by former President Taft and are I'M
derstood to follow in general the plan
discussed among the group of Repub-
licans favoring league. They would
provide:
That the Monroe doctrine is IAN es-
sential national policy" whose appli-
cation and enforcement must be de-
termined "by the United States
alone"
That internal questions entirely
domestic in character, such as immi-
grafton and the tariff are to be de
termined solely by the country in
which they arise"
= That the United States "canot bind
itself in advance" to make war with
out the express authorization of con-
gress at the time"
That the right of nation to with
draw includes the right to determine
for itself" whether it had fulfilled its
obligations as provided in the coven-
ant.
That the Shantung settlement is
viewed with deep regret" as "disre-
gardfuP' of the rights and desires of
inhabitants of the peninsula, unjust
to China" and threatening" to future
peace.
Mr. Spencer said the President be-
trayed no antagonism to revision
program that would follow these lines.
