The debate in the Allied press on
this subject has produced from the
Huns what is perhaps the sublimest
piece of arrogant insolence that has
been written during the war. The
Kolnische Zeitung has the temerity
to remark:
"While the Allies are debating how
end what to make Germany pay, it
: IS not only our right but our duty to
Iset up counterclaims. The armistice
conditions accorded US the privilege
of notifying our damages. Let US
make use of that privilege The IL

all, it cost US the loss of the war
with all the horrible consequences
connected with it."

COLUMBUS. MISS.

Columbus, Miss, August 29.--(Special)
A glowing tribute has been paid to Col.

Throughout the entire booklet, which
is; a beautiful piece of work, are pic
lures of the officers composing the peace
staff and number of pretty scenes in
Paris.
In brief the following outline Of Colonel
Peytons military career is given in the
booklet issued:

1t will be read the first thing when

morning.
The conference committee has been
considering the senate amendments
since last Monday afternoon but has
never been able to reconcile the diff

of these. 1t is stated that the gov

ginning that no acceptable compro-
mise could be effected
PASSAGE APPEARS DOUBTFUL
Tonight it looks very much like there
will be no general revenue bill passed
by this legislature unless the governor
recedes from the position he has taken
with reference to the taxing machinery
and the industrial exemptions. There
is decided and determined majority
in the lower house against both of
these provisions and they declared to-
night that they would not reverse their
attitude on these
Only five more days remain in which
to pass the bill and get it into the
hands of the governor. The legisla-
tive day will of necessity be lost, as
the new conference committee cannot
be appointed until Wednesday, and even
if they get down to work al once ii
is not believed possible for them to
agree upon a report the same day. That
will leave only four days more and
unless an adjournment of several days
the committee time to consider the SEN
ate amendments still other legislative
days will be consumed while waiting
for the report.
In the meantime, other importa Mt
bills on the administration programme
are being held up, such as the ap
preparations bill, which cannot be
passed until the revenue bill is enacted
the education, health, highway and con
Wet bills. The convict bill has passed
the senate and the bill creating the
highway system has passed both
houses, but with amendments that call
for concurrence or conference commit
tees
I The SIS. 1000 highway bond issue
bill has not yet been considered in
either house.
Ten days of the present session OF
the legislature remain and it is be-
lieved to be physical impossibility fot
all of these measures to be enacted
within that time.

Judges Salary Bill
Passes Both Houses
BY w. j. HOLES

Montgomery, August 29-(SpeciaD-Mr.
Long of Butler started off the after
noon session by offering a resolution
calling upon judges and solicitors of the
various courts of the state to furnish the
house with the names of the persons
filling their places while they are lob
bying in Montgomery for increases in
their salaries. He moved that the rules
be suspended and the resolution he put
on its passage, but the house refused to
suspend the rules and the resolution went
to the rules committee
Senate bill No. 1898 increasing the sal
aries of the justices of the supreme court
from 5000 TO $500 was then called as
the special order.
Mr.. Long of Butler, opposed the in
crease basing his opposition primarily
on constitutional grounds. but distressed
from this line of argument to attacii
Chief Justice John G. Anderson for his
speech before the jont-sesson of the
legislature several weeks ago in support
of woman suffrage
He contended that the justices of the
supreme court knew what their salaries
would be before they were elected ana
that they then undertook to serve the
law.
Mr.. Benners of jefferson replying to
Mr.. Long, stated that there was no cor
Stitutional provision in the way of in
creasng the salaries of judges, citing
section $50 of the constitution which pro-
vides that salaries of judges of the va
rious courts shall not be diminished dur
ing the terms to which they are electe
whereas the section relating to other Of

for which they are elected.
HIT BY II. C. OF l..
Mr. Benners insisted that the high cost
of living has effected judges as well as
other persons.
Mr. Lynne of Morgan county, support
ing the bill said if the suggesting to
make the act effective at the expira
ton of present terms that some JUICES
would be drawing $500 while others
would get only $4,000 as they are elected

judges from practicing law or engaging
in any other business during their ser
vice on the bench thus compelling then.
to live on their salaries.
Mr. Tompkins of Houston, said he hat
watched very carefully all appropriation
measures and had voted against many
of them but for the best interests of the
state and it's citizens he believd the
judges should be paid better salaries. He
said he could see no constitutional OBJ
stacle to it.
Mr.. Tompl<ins said there are sheriffs
