responsibility for financing the paving
Of the approaches to the Bayou Chico
lift bridge, Mayor Sander stated yes
terday.
Even if the city desired to bear the
burden 1t would only mean double
taxation for the people, the mayor
stated. The legislature has already
authorized the issue of $15o.000 In
time. warrants to be used for the
building Of bridges and causeways.
Citizens will be taxed for this pro-
ject, he said, with the prospect OF
added taxation if the city were to pay
for the approaches. The county has
further erred, he claimed. by failing
to submit a written request, asking
that Pensacola instead Of Escambia
pay the bill.

REVOLUTION

Weimar. July 23.-In addressing the
national assembly today, Gustav AdoIph
Bauer. the premier abiding to the re-
cent strikes. warned the country against
nasty revolution which he said could
only De counter revolution resulting in
disaster The premier admitted that the
great masses of the people had ground
Tor discomfort and said II was the gov

son for this The remedy, he added,
and economic councils which the gov
eminent would draft.
Tnere would also be bill. the premier
announced, to nationalize electric DOW
err stations and socialize the production
OF Ignite. The premier offered a long
exposition OF the governments policy,
which he said. was one OF specialization.
He declared that the socialixation Of
other mines would follow that of the
ignite mines and said q democratic
state possessing railways, electricity and
mines would be in q position to give TO
Germany's economic life tnat form OF
contentment which he considered right
aaG possible.
The premfer. continusng. said the
workers councils with the district ec,-
nomic councils and headed by the inn
perial economies council which it was
proposed to establish. were regarded by
the government as forerunners and the

governments policy, he added, also
would be devoted to preventing the SUI
persluous importation Of Injuries, and
especially the exclusion Of all imports
which would be most likely unfavorable
to influence the labor market.
I'VE shall need to work and to abhor
revenge the premier said In conclusion
I'VE shall have to renew our national
life and give national thought on the
foundation of the League Of Nations idea
On the growth and the strengthening Of
that idea our hope must rest and from
it must come a revision o. the peace
