ARTICLES V, VI AND VII
Voting Rules.


Procedure aud the appointment of
committees in the assembly and the
council are to be decided BY a majority
vote, almost all other matters require
unanimity. The functions Of these DO.
dies being mainly discussion, the re.
quirement Of unanimous vote on aue..
tions of procedure would enable one
member to prevent any subject from be.
ing debated; and if it were required
for the appointment Of committees one
member could prevent gathering the
information needed for Intelligent dis
cussion
The object of demanding unanmity
for other matters was really TO still the
alarm of People who did not uader-
stand that the organs of the League are
givea no substantial power to direct
the conduct of the members. But the
provision is by no means inconsistent
with the principle on which the League
is based-that of automatic action by
the members, specifically set forth in
the covenant itself, and beyond this
conferences with view to voluntary
concerted action by all the members.
For the last purpose a unanimous vote
is not inappropriate.
The Automatic Principle.
1t may be well to explain here more
precisely what is meant by automatic
action on the part of member of tho
League. II denotes action that is auto.
matte so far as the League or its organs
are concerned, not in regard to the
constitutional branches of its own gov
ernment. Under Article XVI, for ex-
ample, if one nation resorts to war
against another in disregard of its
covenants the other members OF the
League agree Immediately to subject it
to the severance of all trade and fl
naneial relations, and to prohibit an
intercourse between their citizens and
its citizens. This is automatic in the
sense that it is a direct and imme.
date obligation, wholly Independent of
any action by any organ Of the League.
II is not automatic in the sense that
the severance of relations takes place
automatically without any action by
the governments Of the several mcm-
bers of the League. Nor does it de-
termine what branch OF a national gov.
ernment has power to put it into effect.
That depends upon the constitution Of
the nation. With us it would require
legislation, and therefore action by con-
gress; but congress is under moral
obligation, like that imposed by every
treaty which pledges the good faith Of

Victor Berger, elected to congress by the German
Socialists of Wisconsin, and barred from his seat for dis
loyalty, is bitter opponent of the League of Nations
This fact should find him favor in the eyes of the Lodge
KnoxBorah crowd and in due time we may expect to see
him seated in congress instead of serving time behind
prison bars according to his deserts

NOT AS BIG AS
BR|T|ANS BILL
Cost of War to America Not
Nearly Equal to What Eng
lish Ally Must Pay.

TWenty-one months of our war with
Germany cost the Omitted States S26.-
$4,000, 900, the treasury department
calculates. Huge munitions and other
contracts have been cancelled. Man
utacturers are now presenting their
bills and receiving payments for ma
terials delivered months ago in the
heat of the struggle.
Included in the enormous total of
Sz6,3 1856, 900 GOO is the sum of $7,S75,-
OOO,O00 loaned to the Allies. When we
began lending to the Allies, the gov
eminent contemplated turning over
to them about $500, 900, 900 a month
but actual loans ordinarily ran around
538O,OO0, GOO monthly.
Of the total war bill about SIS, 000,-
100000 has been raised SO far by the
Liberty Loans. The fact that we have
not covered our war debt is the rea-
son for the Victory Liberty Loan. In
other words we haven't paid for the
job.
The cost of the war to Great Brit
ain was $40, $40, 10000. Germany is
out $38, $50, 0OO, 900 exclusive of indem-
mites the Allies may impose.

FOX TROTS ON
LIBERTY LEGS
Limbs Blown Of by Shell, But
This Man Continues to Trip
Light, Fantastic Toe to Jazz
Accompaniment.

LIllard Evans is a colored soldier
boy who had both legs blown off in
action. He lives for the present at
Letterman General Hospital at the
Preside in San Francisco. He a
and does dance fox trots and one
steps. How? Why?
OF course to dance a fox trot or
a one-step a fellow has to have legs
good legs. Well, Evans has them
not his own legs of flesh and bone,
but his own willow legs with joints
and everything. He is going to leave
Letterman pretty soon and go back to
work and make his living and prob
ably get married and raise children.
That's the how.
The why of it is-the government
of the United States has gone in for
leg and arm making. 1t is giving a
specially built leg or arm or hand OF
a pair of legs or arms or hands to ev-
cry soldier who lost his legs or arms
in the war. At Letterman in particu-
lar they are making Liberty legs and
arms and hands in their own work
shop. They are making them because
they have hit upon a better artificial
limb than some manufacturers were
turning out.
This is one phase of the reconstruc-
ton work that Uncle Sam is quietly
carrying on. 1t is one of the least ex-
pensive, but it is costing hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Remember that
when Uncle Sam comes a-knocking at
your door with the Victory Liberty
Loan. Much of the money you will
lend is going to ~regenerate these
men who gave of their flesh and blood
for their country.

SAVING BEATS EARNING:
TOO BAD EsAU DIDN'T
LIVE TO ENJOY IT ALL

If Esau and Jacob who lived
some six thousand years ago,
were still alive, and if Esau had
earned $40 every day. and had
saved it all, he would have
$2i 900, o09. On the o~thefshand,
if Jacob had deposited 81 at 1
per cent. interest, compounded
every 100 years, he would have
today $576, 46O, 752, 1903, 423, 4S8.
Can anyone figure out how
much Jacob would have had had
he purchased one SIS War Saw
ing Stamp then, which pays in
terest at the rate of A per cent,
compounded four times every
year? There is an idea in all
this: How much would every
child have if its parents should
start it out with a SIS stamp, and
then encourage the youngsters
to save?

Mr. Lehman would ask ror an assault

not to.
The counter n nhich was due il is said,
to the fact that Lehman called Auditor
Foland a liar was short and decisive.
The democratic chairman had written
letter to the state board Of accounts
declaring that he could not set a fair
show in getting road contracts. Audi
tor Poland came in possession of the
letter aud naturall ywas quite wroth,-
AS a rnatter-os-fact Contractor Lehman
had Just been awarded two big road
contracts on Saturday p the county
commissioners.
Al any rate Auditor Poland and Cor-
tractor Lehman met in the courthouse
and sharp interchange Of words fol-
lowed. Contractor Lehman called Mr.
Poland li2- ard his use OF the short
and ugly word was followed BY stiff
uppe-cut at the hands Of Auditor
Poland. Mr Lehman found himself
measuring his full length on the tilcd
aoor and with badly dishgured face.
Auditor Folard's friends declare that
lie did the only thing there was 10 do
under the circumstances.
