of Commons as had been cabled to
this country. Tho Premiers utter
ances with regard to the Russian prob
lem were expected to prove depress-
ing to the Bolsheviki. who lately have
been making strenuous efforts to
bring about peace with the Allies. and
would be distinctly encouraging to
those who are still in arms against
the "Reds."
AS to the report that Japan and
the United States are discussing action
should the Bolsheviki advance further
eastward, no official comment could
be obtained, although it is pointed out
that it is not probable the Bolsheviki
Kochak now because of the Siberian
winter What Lloyd George meant,
it is thought, is that Japan and the
United States are discussing plans so
that they will be ready in the spring
to take any steps which may be neces-
sary to hold the "Reds" from overrun-
ming the Kolch.k territory.
President Wilson has been handling
the Fiume matter personally. it was
pointed out here tonight, when COM
ment was sought on Lloyd George s
statement that conference would be
held in Paris in few days to settle
this question. There are hints that
it may be settled, even though the
settlement should be against the opin-
ion Of President Wilson.
AS to the statement Of Lloyd George
that the Allies would make peace with
Turkey, the wonder here is whether
such move would result in some
other disposition of Armenia than
hitherto has been generally assumed
in dispatches from Paris and London
that the United States would accept

British General
Election Forecast

LONDON, Dec. 18.-~Recent predic-
tions that a general election will be
held in the near future are revived by
several morning newspapers in connec-
tion with rumors current in the Parlia
mentary lobbies yesterday.
Parliament will be prorogued next
week until the second week in Feb
ruary, when, according to widespread
belief, the government will prepare i'm
mediatcly for q dissolution Of Parla-
ment and an election to test the coun-
try's confidence in the coalition Cab
met. Members of the Labor party, it
is stated. are convinced this is the gov
ernments intention, and are pushing
plans to put 400 candidates in the field.
The sole plank of the party, it is said,
will be the naturalization of coal
mines, although one section is as
serted to believe this to be mistake,
claiming there would be better chance
in presenting definite program for So
cial and political reform.

co. 900 Japanese Troops
ReDOrfed in .Siberin

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 18.-According to
dispatches received here to-day from
Helsingfors. the Bolsheviki assert that
$4,000 Japanes troops are stationed be-
tween Vladivostok and Omsk to guard
the trans Siberian railway.
Japan's original force in the joint
undertaking with the United States, the
Czecho Slovaks and other European
allies to police Siberia numbered 10000
men. Reinforcement of this army was
foreshadowed even before the collapse
Of Admiral Kolchak's army. as the
Toxic War Office had announced in
September that an increase in the eX-
peditionary forces might be forced by
turn for the worse in conditions in
Siberia. According to official advices
from Vladivostok. December 10, fresh
Japanese troops were arriving in that
city, although it was not indicated
whether these were requirements or
reinforcements.

Whether moneys and credits should be listed for taxation at all
is becoming a problem In fact, it always has been u problem the
more we look into the laws relating to assessment and taxation the
more we become convinced that they are largely a farce, 50 far as
personal property is concerned. We now have a law which requires
the listing OF moneys and credits for taxation upon the basis of three
dollars per one thousand in valuation, whereas real cs,a;4 and other
classes OF property Ill WatertoWn pay at the rate OF nearly thirty
dollars per one thousand Of valuation. But personal property, if it
should be assessed at all, never has paid It's proportion of taxes and
never will. We are beginning to doubt whether any effort should be
made to require it to do so When we get down to the true basis,
real estate pays the taxes anyway, and we are not sure but that there
is some logic in Henry Georges theory that those who improve their
property and pay taxes on the improvements arc largely working
for the speculator who spongcs the 'nnearned increment. ~ Our
own state has demonstrated that the inequalities of our system of
assessment and taxation arc 81 glariug as to invite the supcion that
it is no crime to lie to the assessor-and, Judging from the eVaHons
of the past, we are inclined to think it isn't!
