TONNAGE Tax Middle.

late this week.
Tonnage Tax Middle.
When Charlie Murphy, who is lead
ing the fight against the tonnage tax
on the floor of the house, stated when
the tonnage tax bills were up as a
special order last week, that he would
not oppose the motion to refer back
the bills to the committee, but that
he was ready to Ego to bat" right then
on the issue, he put the tonnage tax
ers in very pretty predicament. If
the bills lie in committee for couple
of weeks more, their authors have no
body to blame but themselves. They
could have had vote last Wednes-
da, but they didn't dare. They hoped
that by returning the bills to the COM
mittee the supporters of the two diff
erent tonnage tax bills might get to-
gether, agree on compromise bill
and present united front, but from
the walls of the tonnage takers in the
public press during the past week,
this seems more doubtful than ever.
The Nonpartisan league is determined
that nobody shall have credit for a
tonnage tax bill but the Nonpartisan
league, and the Bendixen crowd is
determined that the Nonpartisan
league shall never get the credit
for it.
Col. Wilkinson's three per cent
gross bill, which exempts ore in stock
pile from local, or ad valorem, tax
alton, still further complexities the
situation. Those who oppose the
tonnage tax will demand public
hearing on this bill and also on any
compromise bill which the committee
may frame.

 WILL BE PAID
All Bills Contracted By U $. Soldiers in Germany
 To Be Settled.

Coblenz. Thursday March 6-(By The Associated Press)-AH indebted ness contracted by Americans within the occupied territories of Germany will be paid immediately. Authoriza- ton to this effect was secured by the Third Army today, and from this date on the Americans will pay their way as they go. The money to pay the back bills and the bills of the future will be requisitioned from Berlin. the army thus relieving the civilians of the occupied territory from taking the chances of collecting from the German government.
 When the Americans eventually start homeward not one pfennig will be owing to civilians who have claims for services rendered or for billets in hotels or houses or claims of any other kind in connection with the up keep of the United States troops, so far as the army records are concern ed. Before the departure of the forces the commanders of the various units will confer with the burgomasters of the respective cities and villages in the district and as final formality will receive from the burgomaster receipts in full, showing all debts cleared up under this plan.
 Since the Americans came the bur gomasters have been paying the civil ians their bills, but recently the Ger mans reported that their funds were exhausted and that they were unable 10 obtain more money from Berlin. The Coblenz burgOmaSter's office thus owes more than 50O,0O0 marks for bills contracted in connection with the maintenance of the Ameri- cans The latter have been for some time in favor of putting the imme- diate payment plan in practice, but before it could be inaugurated it was necessary to gain the consent of the Allied commission.

 The people of Stratford are said to be opposed to the Port project, whether or not it has a referendum; are not willing to be subjected to the expense of going to the polls, and intend through the public meeting, and by other means, to array force enough to kill the proposed legisla- ton before it is born.
 One of the arguments against the project is the assertion that oil refin- cries may be located in Stratford ter ritory. and the experience of Nor walk with Standard oil storage plants will be communicated to the meeting by speakers
 Said one of the promoters of the meeting. MT. Bates was asked why the project should not be located at Black Rock. He replied the people in that neighborhood would not stand for the odors."
