REPRISALS PERMITTED

 Replying to Senator Fall, republican, l New Mexico Secretary Lansing said that in case economic measures were used by the league members against a nation, the latter would be permit ted to make reprisals. Bringing up the Anglo-French trea- ty, Senator Johnson asked at whose sugg estion this treaty was made. The Presidents" MT. Lansing re- piled.

Mir Lansing said he believed the French treaty merely supplemented ar ticle 20, of the league of nations cove nant treating with special defensive alliances Questioned in detail. Secretary Lans- ing reaffirmed his statement that the IA points were substantially carried out.
 Regarding the first point, dealing with "open covenants openly arrived at," he said: T consider that was carried out. Of course, no negotiations can go in between nations that are done in pub 1 lie or at public hearing" Freedom of the seas the second | point, the secretary said. did not enter | into negotiations. Equality of trade conditions were es- tablished, the secretary said, on the third point The fourth, for reductions of armament, he declared, was effected by the league covenant. But there is no arrangement for reduction there except in the opinion of nations" persisted Senator John son. , "The covenant imposes a moral ob- 1igation," the secretary replied. That's quite true of the entire covenant. Ev- cry nation ultimately has a vote. There is no more modification of sovereignty than there is in the treaty by which

INCOME TAX FIRST

The first matter taken up by the con- vention was that of the income tax as it effects land loans J. S. Pinckard, of Montgomery, representing a foreign loan company, asking that such companies be exempted from the income tax on the ground that it would prevent capital from coming to the state. Money lenders now pay, and under the pending bill will continue to pay a license tax of $50 q year, and a recording fee, he said. He compared land values in Alabama and Iowa.: land values in the latter state being several times that in Alaba- ma and Mir. Pinckard declared that this condition was due largely to the fact that Iowa farmers borrowed money to pay for improvements and finance their farms. He said the influx of foreign capital into the state in the way of land loans had resulted in a reduction in the interest rate.
 Judge Edward de Graffenreid, of Tuscaloosa, former justice of the su- preme court, arguing in support of the exemption of land loans from the n- come tax, stated that he is now nego- tiating for a loan to erect an office building in Tuscaloosa, and that he had iCst put through a loan of s1O000 which was made for the purpose of purchasing a 100O0 acre farm in West Alabama.
