SENATOR JOHNSON
GETS APPLAUSE IN
PRESIDENTS TRAIL

Wilson'S trail and receiving cheers
for his criticism on the League of
Nations from the same localities
which heard the chief executives
arguments, Senator Johnson, Of Cali
fornia, is developing a very definite
line of attack on the presidents de-
mand for unqualified acceptance of
the peace treaty.
Insisting in his St. Louis ad-
dress that the treaty was drawn
purely on the lines of the secret ar
powers before America entered the
war, he pointed out that Article TO-,
of the covenant, means that the
United States guarantees this secret
bartering Of peoples and territories
for all times.
A big crowd, packing every inch
of space in Tomlinson hall, at In
dianapolis last night, rose and shout
ed it's approval of the senator's
statement that America would not
be party to such infamy."

"And while they stood there and
our hearts throbbed at the thought
that these men had in their minds
what we had in ours, they had their
inside pockets bullying with secret
treaties carving up the world" Sen
ator Johnson shouted. "Such du-
plicity is unexampled in the history
of the world. But when the pres
ident seeks to keep up the duplicity
by binding our sons to guarantee It,,
I say it shall not be-"
He asked the crowd whether it was
willing, since the other powers OF

sounding "no" that fairly shook the

LODGE PRESENTS
COPY Of AUSTRIAN
TREATY To SENATE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Consid-
GRAFTON of the German peace treaty
began this afternoon in the senate. 1t
of the foreign relations committee,
and became the first great document
of it's kind to be discussed in the
senate in the full light of publicity.
After having the senate adopt a
motion, without objection, to pro-
coed to consider the German treaty,
Senator Lodge presented a copy of
the treaty with Austria which he
said he had received from the Chi
cago Tribune, and which President
Wilson refused recently to transmit
to the senate.
There was little formality in the
beginning of the real senate contest
over the treaty. Contrary to expec-
tations, as Senator Lodge made no
preliminary statement and Senator
Jones, Democrat, of New Mexico, pro-
ceeded to deliver a prepared address
on the League of Nations. Little
over half of the senate membership
was present.
To expedite consideration Of the
lengthy document, it was planned to
dispense with the formal first read
ing" and consider the treaty article
by article. 1t was believed probable,
therefore, that a. test of voting
strength would be reached the first
week on the foreign relations COM
mittees amendment to article 8, pro-
viding that the United States shall
have a vote in the assembly equal
to that Of any other nation. Action
on this amendment, aimed to equal
ize the voting power of this country
and Great Britain in the assembly,
will be regarded by many as an In
dex of the fate awaiting the more
than two score other amendments.
Meanwhile, negotiations were to be
continued between the mild" and
drastic" reservationists, with a
view to reaching some agreement be-
fore the question of reservations is
taken up after consideration of the
treaty article by article has heen
completed.

PREDICTED
DEFEAT Of TREATY,
BULL|TT DECLARES

wASHINGTON.-w c. Bull
lit, of Philadelphia, formerly at
tached to the American peace mis-
sion, testifying before the senate
foreign relatior.s committee that
Secretary LaaIsing told him in Paris
last May that If "the senate and the
American people knew what the
treaty meant, it would be defeated
1t was near the close of an ex-
tended examination during which
Rullitt explained he had been sent
to Russia to investigate conditions,
and had later resigned from the
mission because he was out of
sympathy with the treaty and the
league covenant. that he was asked
by Senator Lodge how the Amer
lean delegates stood.
Secretary Lansing, Henry White
and General Bliss all expressed
vigorous opinions regarding the
treaty. he said. Senator Lodge
asked if the opinions were en-
thusiastic.
ct regret to say they were not"
said Bullitt.
It was no secret in Paris. he de-
clared. that Lansing, White and
Bliss objected vigorously to nu-
merous provision of the treaty.
When Senator Lodge said he
thought the secretary's opinion on
Shantung was known. Bullitt added:
Il think Secretary Lansing was
OF on Ok -
League of Nations"
Previous to his testimony concern
ing Lansing's alleged utterances, Mr..
Bullitt had shown the committee a
document which he said was an or
igina1 of President Wilson's League
Of Nations draft. by Mr.. Wilson
personally.
He also showed the committee
copies of other original drafts and
testified about his trip to Russia to
get from Lenine a declaration on
which fighting would be stopped.
Regarded by treaty opponents as
the most telling blow yet delivered
in their behalf, the testimony of Mr..
Bul1itt, before the foreign relations
committee, was the center of sena-
torial interest.
"Other important developments"
were predicted by one of the best
informed members of the foreign re-
lations committee in discussing Mr..
Bullitt's story.
Senators today were interested in
what Secretary Lansing may have to
say about the anti-treaty statements
attributed to him by Bullttt, but the
thing that is being watched even
more closely is what impression will
be left on the public

WANT CONGRESS
TO ACT AGAINST
INFLUENZA SPREAD

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-with
some cases of influenza already re-
ported by the United States public
health service. efforts will be made
this week to spur congress into TAX
ing steps that will prevent a general
recurrence Of the disease, as it &C.
CURED last year.
Representative Tess, Ohio, who has
introduced a bill providing for gov
eminent Investigations in the hope
Of finding cure for the plague, is
planning to point out to the house
this week the great danger of con-
gressional inactivity. His bill has
been slumbering in a committee for
several months.
All scientists agree that the only
way to find a cure for the disease
is to isolate the germ that causes
it, Mr.. Fess states, and this prob
ably can be accomplished only
through expensive experiments in
+. government laboratories.
, Congress apparently is showing a
distinct apathy on this Legislation"
he said, land despite it's great i'm
portance there seems to be little in
terest in it. Congress must either
appropriate comparatively small
amount to find cure for influenza
or we may be confronted with the
necessity of providing large sums for
relief work. if a ,general epidemic ac-
occurs, as many medical men pre-

He urged that communities hard
hit by the epidemic of last year

FULTON T0PAY 15.2
PER CENT Of TAX
REVENUE Of STATE

That Fulton county will pay 49,;
per cent of the state of Georgia's
revenue from real and personal prop
| erty for 1919 was disclosed Monday
morning by the final returns of tax
digests from the counties.
A reorganization of the digests
shows that Georgia's total tax values
for 1919. exclusive of public utility
corporations, are $983,744,239.
Of this amount, Fulton county
furnished $149,681,760 of taxable val
ues, which is 1872 per cent of the to-
tai taxable values of the state. Full
toms increase of values for 1919 over
1918 was $6,712,S75. which was the
largest years increase on record FOR
the county, and the largest increase
ever made in one year by any coun-
ty in the state.
The increase of values for the en-
tire state, as shown by recapitula-
ton of the digests Monday, was $64,-
761,761. Thus Fulton county's In
crease of values constituted 1913 per
cent Of the total increase for the en-
tire state.
Including public utilir ycorpora-
tions, = the states entire taxable
values for 1918 were $1,079,296, 1926
Excluding public utility corporal tons
the states entire taxable values for
1919 are 1888, 744,239. The total
values of public utility corporations
for 1918 were 0,254,348. Assum-
ing that corporation tax values show
an increase of $60,000,000 for 1919
which is a conservative estimate in
view Of the pending arbitrations,
the states entire taxable values for
1919 (including corporations will be
$1,149,9 98,5S7.

COTTON SHORTAGE IN
GEORGIA STAGGERING
SAYS MIR. BROWN
Eighty-Seven South ern
Counties win Show De-
crease of 100000 Bales,
. S143,312,0O0 in Money

Eighty-seven south Georgia coun-
les will have this year a cotton
shortage of 10000 bales compared
with production in 1914, and this
represents money shortage OF
$143,312,000 on a basis of 80 cents
pound for cotton according to re-
view Of the crop situation issued
Saturday by J. J. Brown. state COM
missioner Of agriculture.
The cotton shortage in the coastal
plain section of Georgia is typical of
the shortage in the coastal plain sec
ton of the entire belt extending
through Texas, he further states, and
it would not surprise him if the to-
tai cotton crop this year should fall
far below eleven million bales.
In view of these conditions, Com
missioner Brown considers the mini
mum price fixed by the American
Cotton association, at it's meeting
last week in New Orleans. exceeding
" conservative. The price fixed
there was So cents for September,
with an advance Of one-half of one
cent per pound UP to 40 cents a
pound next May.
'If it had not been for conditions
now prevailing as to foreign ex-
change" says Commissioner Brown
in his statement, land other condt-
tions affecting both America and
Europe, the American Cotton asso-
ci1&aon would have fixed a price Of
40 cents a pound fat. Even that
price will not pay the producer the
profit to which he is entitled, as it
was shown at the meeting that the
average cost of production through
out the belt is 34.46 cents a pound.
"It is practically impossible to
overestimate the loss in south Geor-
gia on account of the boil weevil and
unfavorable weather conditions.
Take a line from Augusta to Wess
Point. South of that line are 81
Georgia counties that produced ~57.1
Of Georgia's cotton crop in 1e:S. To
ascertain the probable loss. to those
counties, we must confer-fa normal
crop, such as that Of 1914, when
Georgia made in round numbers e.
10000 bales of cotton.
'In 1914 the ST south Georgia
counties in question produced in
round numbers 1,421,750 bales. A
careful survey of these counties JUS
tiles the prediction that their pro-
duetion will not exceed a. per cent
of a normal crop this year. That is
TO say. their probable production will
be 625,570 bales. Based on these fig
ures, the loss to these 81 south Geor
gia counties will be 796,1S0 bales,
worth at SO cents a pound an aggre-
gate of S143,312,400. This loss is a
little more than one-half of the cot
ton producing area of Georgia is
staggering.
"The conditions above set forth in
the coastal plain section Of Georgia
are typical of the entire coastal
plain section of the belt. from North
Carolina to Texas. They are gen.
eral conditions. They more than
justify the action of the New Or
leans meeting When it established a
September minimum of So cents a
pound.
Every pound Of cotton sold for
less than Sc cents is a sacrifice by

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 15.-Pres1-
behalf of the peace treaty ratifica-
ton, arrived in Portland at 9 a. m.
today to make one speech and spend
the rest of the day motoring and
resting.
The president had noisy recep-
ton here. 1t began before his spe-
cial train pulled into the station.
Every crossing had an applauding
crowd and at several places people
were strung along the tracks hold
ing their hats in their hands.
Mr.. Wilson's train stopped four
hours during the night so 1t would
not reach Portland before a. m.
The original time of arrival was
o'clock, but this was set back four
a chance to sleep longer and eat his
breakfast without doing it in the
presence of crowds looking in the
window of his car.
The president alighted from his
special car, the Mayflower, under the
escort of Governor Ben w. Olcott
and Mayor George L. Baker. His
step upon the platform was the sig
nal for an outburst Of enthusiasm
that continued during his progress
through the streets Of the city.
Tumultuous acclaim from scores of
thousands greeted the president dur
ing his journey through the business
section, keeping him on his feet con-
tinually bowling and waving his hat
right and left. Mrs. Wilson rode at
his side.
Mr.. Wilson's departure from Sc
attic last night was marked by a
demonstration in which cheering peo-
pie lined the streets along severalt
blocks Of the route from the hotel
to the railway station. The pres
ident stood up in his car during
portion Of the ride, fiourishing his
hat in a characteristics gesture.
The president, when he enters Cal
ifornia, is expected to get some more
information with regard to the prof.
ected strikes in protest against life
Imprisonment of Thomas J. Mooney,
labor leader, convicted of implication
in the preparedness parade bomb ex-
plosion in San Francisco in 1916,
James A. Duncan and other Seattle
labor leaders informed the presi-
dent of their version Of the condi-
tions leading up to the projected
strike, and told him how it was un-
derstood that unrest would make it
difficult to avoid a strike.
President Wilson broke his long
established rule of transacting no
business on Sunday in order to hear
these men, and it was learned he
has taken under consideration the
information they gave him.
