WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Another
amendment to tho peace treaty rrovia-
ing that the Unitcd States shall have
as many representatives as the British
empire on the league of nations assem-
bly, was adopted today by the senate
foreign relations committee.
The vote was nine to eight. Senator

standing with the Democrats against
the amendment The provision as framed
would not reduce the six votes held by
Great Britain and its dominions on tho
assembly, but simply would provide that
the United States have equal represen-
tation.
Two Other Amendments.
The committee also adopted two other
! amendments. providing that the Amerl-
can representative on the rcparationS
commission shall vote only when Spcci-
iically instructed to do 80 by this gov
crnmcnt. and that none Of the British
/ dominlons may take part in deciding
, dispute under the league of which onr
of them is a party.
The rcplra,ion amendment was pro-
posed BY Senator Fall. Republican. New
Mexico. and the other by Senator Mosca,
Republican. Now Hampshire. The vol@
in each case was nine to eight. the Dem
ocrats and Senator McCumbcr voting in
the negative.
Presented By johnson.
The amendment was the first to be
adopted by the committee relating 10 the
league covenant. 1t was presented BY
Senator Johnson. Republican. California.
The amendment also contains th>
ri hn lnou a
council. the effect OF which would b,
to offset the possibility that Great
Britain and one Of her dominions might
be represented on the council at one
time. In the council there are to h3
nine members. one from each OF tho five
big powers and the other from smaller
states TO be selected from time to time.
The Amendment
Under the amendment, the following
proviso would be inserted in the coYe-
nant:
That when any member Of the leagu.
has or possesses Sclf-governing domiE-
ions or colonies or parts OF empire which
are also members Of the league. the
United States shall have votes in the
assembly or council Of the league nu-
merically equal to the aggregate vo.,'
Of such member Of the league and it's
sclf-governinG dominions and colonies
and parts OF empire in the council or as
scmbly Of the league"
The Moses amendment followed a
suggestion made by Former President
Taft and was considered necessary by the
Republican members to preclude any
possibility that the British dominions
could act together to prevent any one
OF them from being ovcrthrown in de-
CiSion by the league.

RED CROSS HAS
THIS FELLOWS GOAT

Editor Sentinel:-A hard landlord
has insisted that if the Red Cross
wanted to continue in its present
quarters it must rent the rooms for a
period of five years. Why should
such an organization rent rooms for
five years? Are we to understand
that in rural county like Medina,
with little call for such an institution,
as the Red Cross when life is normal,
we are to be asked to carry a load
indefinitely? :.
A good thing may be burden if
operated in a "burdensome" way.
Many people are already asking the
question, day by day, as to how long
unnecessary methods are to be con-
tinued under the guise of necessity,
the prime necessity showing on the
surface being to give people fat jobs
at the public expense. The war is
over and each and every citizen
should do all within his power to aid
in looping off the excess expense that
came with war-and will linger as
long as a suffering people supply the
funds to keep it going.
"Oh Lord, how long?" How long
for the county organization? Does
any sane individual think it is wise
to keep 88 county organizations 60
ing for five years? Is the Medina
county public to have it's leg pulled
annually for five long years? Why
man; my right leg is already three
inches longer than my left, because

Blessed be nothing! It's me for thf

legislature, discussed number OF
bills now pending before the house,
at a meeting of Winyah club mem
bers last Friday night. A bill which
came in for the most discussion was
the new automobile tax law which,
Mr.. Lytle stated, would probably be-
come a law this week. The new law
calls for a graduated tax of from 81
larger proportion than they now pay.
1t was stated that the average
rate per car over the state would be
about S11 annually. Another bill
pending is the state income tax law,
which as it stands now, exempts sin
gle men to the amount of $500 per
year and married men up to $1,000,
allowing an additional 5000 for each
child, the same as the federal income
tax law. Up to $4,000 annually the in
come will be taxed one per cent; be-
yond this amount a 2 per cent tax
will be collected. Three-fourths OF
the revenue derived from this tax will
remain in the municipality or town
ship from which it is derived, the
other fourth going to the state.
Mr.. Lytle stated that many mu-
inequalities and counties over the
state are in dire distress, due to lack
of funds, which is caused in many in
stances by the loss of liquor-license
money. He declared, however, that
within year or two. this loss would
be made up in various ways which
will place the larger communities or
their feet in, such manner that they
will be able to go along with a full
head of steam under their own reve'
nues.
Following the talk a light lunch
J was served./

TWO MEDINA CITIZENS
BECOME REMINISCENT

VIM. Rickard became reminiscent
in his remarks one day recently and
told of his first visit to Lorain. He
said:
"In 1857, as I remember it, my
brother and I went to Lorain to pur-
chase lime for the plaster for my
brothers house. At that time there
were Just two houses in Lorain-the
lime-burner's house and that of a
blacksmith operating there. :.
"The lime-burner was not at home
and we did business with the black
smith. We had our horses shod, also.
The lake and river were there, as
they are now, and my interest was
great in them. But I got hungry and
we had quite time to induce the
blacksmith's wife to get us something
to eat. Finally we were loaded up
and came home.
Naturally Lorain was a dead place
then. There were few people living
around the town and nothing except
the two places above mentioned to
cali people there. There was some
open fields and meadow but the
greater part of the landscape was
still woods. Old settlers will readily
understand that we had very poor
roads to come and 60 on land travel
ing was slow and tedious. 1t was
late at night when we arrived home,
without special incident, and that was
/ my first sight of Lorain.
GAS the town began to grow, and
items of news concerning the place
and it's people found place in the
papers, found myself watching de-
velopments there with interest, this
interest having its inception in my
first visit there in that far-back day
with my brother. But when I visit
the place I can yet see slight traces
of the harbor and the town lay out as
it was even back there when it's whole
making was in embryo"
Mr.. Richards remarks led B. O
Inman to tell his experiences OF
the banks of Old Erie. His. first sight
of the lake came in the same summer
or the one following. He had gone
to Amherst with his father and while
there they had gone down to thu
shores Of the lake to fish. "On thu
banks of the lake." said Mr.. Inman
"was great oak tree-a monster 0.
the forest that was known to all il
that day and was greatly talked
about. 1t was the home of bi,
American eagle, a monster of hi
breed, and while we were sitting OF
, the banks of the lake this big bir,
spread his wings and flew out owe
the blue waters of the lake, great,
to my delight. Not house was to b
seen on the banks of the lake, and bu
few were to be found in that Who'll
, section; it was my first visit and is a
vivid in my recollection as if it ha
, happened last week." /.
