Carter was appointed state hotel COM
missioner today to succeed A.. I. Mes
ser, whose term expired yesterday,
June 8.

Of Four
tAssoeLated Pressl

Paris, June 1O.-The council of four
met today amid an atmosphere of
considerable pessimism over the
larger questions of peace making
With Germany which are still unsoly-
ed. It is understood that Premier
CIemenceau has not moved from his
position against any modification of
the peace terms.
No settlement of the Silesian ques-
ton or that concerning the Polish
Western frontier has been reached. 1t
is stated the SiIesian problem is tied
up with the difficulty of holding a
pIebiscite without allied occupation,
no troops being available for that
purpose.

INTERPRETATIONS FOR
ASSESSOR AVER

Editor Star: In justice to the peo-
pie generally, and to myself, wish
To make the following reply to Mr..
Ayers communication referring to
the letter | had written Gov Cats:
Fifty-six thousand. four hundred
and fifty dollars is a great amount, /
admit, for three men to pay taxes on,
and congratulate Mr.. Edwards upon
his success in this great property
gathering And this is fifty per
cent valuation; total. $4,000. one
third of which would be $37,633 for
one man.
Now, Mr.. Aver, do you tell me that
Mr.. Edwards owns nothing individu-
ally but an automobile that is tax
able? Has he no household furniture,
no horse, no COW to call his very own
When you take my returns you ask
ms about all these things. Do you
intend for the public to think that
Mr.. John L. Edwards sits on stools
eats from pots and keeps up the an
cient tradition of his bed of straw tc
repose on at night Do you tell me
that man worth S37 .633 has nc
property Of value in his house and nc
domestic animals Of his very own?
am not personally acquainted with
the Mr.. Edwards in question, but
am of the opinion that he and his
brothers do not house together.
/ Personally, Mr.. Aver, | like you
but you sometimes make mistakes
You are no more infallible than tn,
Irest Of US. ! would like to cite yol
to your having doubly assessed Mr.
A d. Mitchell's real estate in thi!
place. Would this not lead one to be
[lieve that should you doubly assess
one piece of property. you in lik'
manner might fail to assess othel
properties, as / believe you have il
this particular instance?

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PLANT

Superintendent Martin and his help
ers are hard at work trying to put the
city plant in the best available shape
and are succeeding very well.
Mr.. c. r. Downing, the expert from
the Skinner factory, has put the big
unifow engine in order and started
it to running. 1t was only run for a
test, however, it being desired not to
use it until the condenser il in order.
This is expected to be soon, the nee
essary apparatus being rapidly put in
shape.
The oil tank has been lowered into
its bed to the north of the plant and
it is hoped to begin using oil as fuel
in few days. The sooner the better,
for Monday morning the plant did not
have enough wood to run on until
noon.

SILVER cHEvRoNs

The papers have had a prolonged
case of fidgets over the silver chew
rons issued recently to service men
whose duty was done in this country
and not abroad. 1t all comes back to
whether the public has any real idea
of what the stay-at-homes did. The
information has been rather generally
spread abroad, but, of course, it may
not have soaked in. This may or may
not prove to be the last war of our
time. If it is, then the men stationed
here made possible our share in win
ming it, and are entitled to all the
credit that goes to the devisers Of far
flung plans and to the builders of a
strong foundation. If it is not, then
the service men on this side of the At
lantic have fortified us for years to
come against dangers of being unable
tc plGy our part effectively in the
next war. Thanks to them we know
exactly how to plap, locate and build
any sort of military establishment
from an airplane factory to cooking
school for army cooks; how to esti-
mate for. buy, make and move each
and all Of the 100000 or 100000 sep
arate sorts of things that modern
army has to have, how to raise and
handle men, and so on. The mind
reels in trying to imagine the vast
amount of typewriter memoranda
photographs, blueprints and other
documents which record all these
practical details of how to save oul
nations life in time of peril. The
United States plans no war, harries
no mans cattle and grudges no one
his own, but if the time ever comes
again when Bryan's rhetorical mill
ion freemen have to spring to arms
they will know how. We owe that Il
the wearers of the silver chevrons.
