the situation as critical. In October,

The public has learned little about
the meetings Of the premiers and the
president but there is reason to be-
lieve that reparation for war dam
ages was the first serious problem
they sought to solve. All the data
on the British French and American
positions on this question was before
them at the first meeting Tuesday.
1t is understood that the data showed
agreement on virtually all questions
except the total amount. Even the
~textual draft of the PREPARATION afti-
cles of the peace treaty are ready
with a blank space waiting for the
insertion of the amount.
After settling the Preparations ques-
ton, the premiers and the president
will consider the remaining main OBJ
stacle-the Franco-German frontier

ions determined, the American del
egation believes that a prompt con-
Of the peace treaty can be ac-
complished.
Such an expectation as concluding

Three Important
Opinions by The
Attorney General
MAKE TAX RETURNS
PENALTY.

There Is no escaping the law on the
matter of making tax returns by the
last day of February or the provision
which tacks on the rs per cen penalty
for failure to do so, according to an
opinion made public at the office OF
the attorney general this morning.
The ruling is made In answer to an
inquiry from the state tax commission
lit Follows:
e'There is no statutory provision au.
thorizing boards Of county commits
Nsioners to extend the time within
Which tax schedules shall be allowed
in the office Of the assessor of the
county, and any attempt by a board Of
county commissioners to do so would
be void. Boards of county commits
siners have no authority to remit a pen.
atty of rs per cent for faifure TO make
return of property where the penalty
has been imposed by the assessor. The
only method by which such a result
can be accomplished is by application
to the district court and an order from
that court authorizing the assessor or
the collector to cancel the penalty
upon the tax rolls"
Opinion on Supplies.
The old time inhibition, both legal
and ethical against officials of insti-
tutions contracting for their pecuniary
benefit to furnish supplies to such in
stitution receives confirmation and
strengthening in an opinion of the at
torney generals office delivered Satuf-
day in response to an inquiry from
Prof. r. r. Hin of the Spanish-Amer
lean Normal School.
No Twilight Zone.
Hereafter hunters and fishermen Of
the state of New Mexico or who come
into the state will either be residents
or non.residents. There is no longer
any such thing as a resident alien or a
nonresident alien in the purview Of
the law. The change comes about

for 2,000,000 for the building of good
roads. This is part of the program for

PARTIES AND MOBS

Several speakers at a meeting
of colored people in Harlem on
Sunday attributed the race riots in
Washington to the democratic
administration, which had brought
to the capital a great many south
ern oficeholders. While they were
expressing this preposterous senti-
ment conflict between whites and
blacks as savage as any that took
place at the capital was in progress
in the republican city of Chicago.
There are enough points of
friction between the races without
introducing party. The negro
owes nothing to any party. He
has been abandoned by all Of them,
most notably by all the republic
cans, who in 1877 traded his rights
at the south to perfect the title
of a stolen presidency. Colored
men assuming to lead their people
should know bv this time that the
political and incidentally the legal
privileges conferred upon them
can never be enjoyed so long as
they are the mere chattels of a
party.
AS for the speakers who advo-
Gated violence, they were even
more grievously in error. The
negro is an American citizen and
his every appeal as such must be
to the law. Circumstances beyond
the control of law or opinion under
present conditions are always
stimulating the mob spirit, and it
is against that very thing that both
whites and blacks should be most
impressively warned. New York

member of the appropriation COM
nittee, that the republican fih-
buster in the senate last March
cost the United States more than

Mr.. Byrns accounted for this
increase by saying the new con-

tions bills.

Tale of Two Farmers

Two farmers in West Tennessee,
whose lands adjoin, raised big
crops this year. They are close
friends, but rivals in the matter
of crop production. One of these
farmers improved his soil by the
application of phosphate and
ground limestone. The other didn't.
The man who used phosphate and
lime on his soil made six bushels,
or $500, more per acre than his
rival. This, an absolutely true
story and the lesson it teaches is
too plain for comment.
