JOHNSON ASKED
TO RETURN
i
IN Order to Make Ready fo,
s. Voting on Peace Treaty
Next Week
THE FIRST TEST VOTE

WdSHIHStOH, sept. IS.-RepuDI1-l
can leaders made ready today for
the first. voting text next week on the
German peace treaty and it's League
of Nations covenant. Word was
sent to Senator Johnston, of Califor-
mia, author of an amendment to
equalize the voting power of Great
Britain and the United States in the
league and first up for consideration,
to return here at once so that debate
on the amendment might proceed
Monday with the hope of adopting
or rejecting it by the need of the
week.
Until this message to the Califor-
mia Senator was sent by Senator Bo-
rah of Idaho, after a conference late
in the day with Chairman Lodge of
the Foreign Relations committee,
the report had persisted around the
Capitol that Senator Johnson might
be absent several weeks. Senator
Lodge declared there would be no
vote on amendments this week, and
opponents of the league were prepar-
ed to resist attempts to force one by
Senator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska,
leader Of the administrators fight
for ratification.
The treaty will be called up for
consideration tomorrow, after two
day interruption, for, continuous con-
sideration. Actual reading of the
pact which stopped short Tuesday af-
ter article three of the league coven-
ant had been reached, is consider
ably more of job than the man not
familiar with senatorial discussion
of international questions might i'm
agine. The printed text makes a
book almost as big and quite as
heavy as a New York city telephone
directory Every line of it must be
read with endless debate on some
sections, running perhaps into
weeks.
It is the intention of Chairman
Lodge, in charge of the treaty to
call it up every day not later than 2
O'Clock. An amendment by Senator
Moses, Republican, of New Hamp-
/ shire, relating to adjudication of dis
putes referred to the assembly will
be reached tomorrow after ten
minute reading of the league coven-
ant text Opponents of the covenant
said tonight the reading would be
halted at that point for quite bit
| of discussion, but that they would
prevent a vote on it this week.
Discussing his telegram to Sena-
itor johnson, urging the California
Senator's immediate presence here
Senator Borah saic debate on the
British-American voting amendment
might go on for a week, with the
hope of a vote at tn end of that
time Senator Johnson, he said
could then resume his speech-mak'
ing trip against the league.

MR.. BROOKE RESIGNS

In the resignation of MI. Brooke as
associate editor of the Register. we
wish to express u appreciation of
his ability as a writer and newspaper
nan. His education and large expert
ence has given to the Register a vital
force In the community and his intel
ligent cooperation has enabled us to
maintain and improve the high stand
ard Of journalism we have always
sought to obtain for the Register, CIV
ing it first place among the weekles
of the country. II is with much regret
that we loose his services. Should he
decide to remain in newspaper work
he will seek a larger field. n where
his talents will command a far better
salary than We can afford to pay. For
the present. he tells us, he will devote
his time to matters needing his atten.
ton and ultimately may decide to re-
main in Bookings.

We are informed hat ana
water bonds are in a class by them
selves and are not included in the
above. The law authorizes a city to
issue bonds for water and pur-
poses to the amount of ten per cent
of the assessed valuation of the prop
erty in the city in addition to the five
per cent for general purposes. There
fore the legal limit for water and
sewer bonds is $454, 1913. 90. Bonds for
water and sewer purposes have here
tofore been issued as follows: $50, 900. 90
maturing in 1927, $50, 10000 of the
refunding bonds maturing in 1887.
$4S, 000. 90 recently issued and ma
turing in 1899. Making a total of
$113, 000. 90, and outstanding warrants
amounting to about $4,000. 90, leaving
a balance of 1927, 793. 90, of water and
sewer bonds that the city is still au-
thorized to issue should the same be
necessary. However. there is o no
apparent necessity for the issuance
of more than about $50 900 90 of sewer
bonds to complete the pending inn
provements.

THE CROWS NEST

It is estimated hat over a third OF
the farms in this county are being oc-
cupied and operated by tenants and
that tenantry Is on the increase. Every
year rents are going up in order to
keep pace with the rise Of prices of
farm lands. The owners are com
PEELED to increase the rent to get even
a fair rate of interest on their invest
ments, that is, on the prices at which
their properties are listed. The ten
ants can afford to pay a reasonable adj
vance in rentals, so long as the prices
OF products remain at their present
levels, and make fair profits and prob
ably a little more, provided their leases
run for a certain length Of time. No
one can afford to rent a farm for a
year only or when it is subject to sale.
It costs money to have to move every
year and the first question that a man
generally asks when he is hunting a
farm to rent is whether it can be had
a longer term than one year. He
does not want to be always on the

in order to come out even and move

in like manner He takes no pride
in keeping up the property and in pre-
the fertility Of the soil. Both
tenant and owner are losers in short
term leases. Long leases are not prob
able so long as most farms are for
sale and the present, or late past, ac-
tiyity in land selling Is the order of
the day. If the land that is in specu-
hands could be leased for a
longer term than one year and the
leases made transferable it ought not
to prevent sales unless the buyer in
tends to move on the land and farm
it for himself. A more permanent ten
antry would be better for a commu-
nifty, for its schools and every other
common interest. Let spectators
think this over.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION A FACT

J. M. Bitterness, secretary to Sena-
tor Sterling, writes the Register from
Washington under date of October 80,
as follows:
The enactment of the prohibition law
over the presidents veto has upset any
possible plans Of the liquor interests to
to sell alcoholic liquors, in
Guiding beer containing not more than
2.75% of alcohol. The presidents veto
came as a surprise to members of con-
gress. 1t vas generally supposed that
the president would not attempt to
force his personal views in favor of the
repeal of the wartime prohibition act
In the face Of the well-known temper
of the people in the matter. The persi-
dents argument that rehabilitation of
the army has been accomplished and
therefore there is no need for prohi-
bition enforcement is especially weak
at this time of widespread Industrial
disturbances. 1t is acknowledged by
law enforcement officers concerned that
if it were not for prohibition, the strike
situation would be much more serious
than it is. Up to this time the strike
areas have been comparatively free
from the riots usually accompanying
strikes. A number of democratci sena-
tors sought to secure the postponement
of a vote on the veto. but Senatro Ster-
ling, who was in charge of the bill. re-
fused to withdraw his motion and the
vote on the final action steed So to 20

ground that nothing could be more dan,
gerous to our institutions at this time
than q failure to enforce the laws en-

has been highly complimcnted on the
way he conducted the fight for prohi.

WHO LOSES?

Dies Moines Tribune The 400. 900
miners who will not work today would
have received probably S. each for the
work. a total OF $4,000. 600. The
s.. D00. 600 must represent actual wealth
produced or it could not be paid in
wages. In fact, IT stands for much less
than the wealth produced. probably fol
not more than half. That is what the
miners complain about. This means
that 81 600 900 will not be added to
the wealth of the world today that
might have been added. If something
should happen to destroy $4,000, 900 CT
corn or wheat. if the stockyards OF
Chicago should burn with great num-
bers of animals in the flames, il would
be heralded as a calamity. Everybody
would recognize hat the wealth of the
country had been impaired. But We
talk about this coal miners strike as
a labor quarrel. Worst of all the
miners themselves fail to understand
that in cutting down the days produc-
ton of wealth they r cutting down
the very store which they themselves
share. Why cannot everybody under
stand that these rising prices for the
necessaries of life the failure
OF the world to produce, and see tina,
the poor man who is finding IL harder
and harder to- make both ends meet
is the first one to realize the calamity
of non-production. This whole war
period has been a time of n~on-produc-
ton, and labor being unsettled has not
yet settled again, and everywhere In
Europe there is still non-production,
and starvation crawls nearer and
nearer to the homes of the masses.
This cessation of the production of coal
Is from the miners own standpoint q
calamity. He will get 1t perhaps not
directly in the cost of coal, although
that may reach him at once, but in
the rising cost Of everything that he
consumes. For without fuel or with
fuel high he need not fear that hes
One of the most astounding mistakes
labor has made has been to ignors
the effect of non-production. Labor
has talked about limited production
as though that was getting anywhere.
Non-production means less to divide,
and as there Is less to divide those
in poorest position get less. The
evils of faulty distribution will never
be cured by non-production. Every
day the coal miners let $4.000.0 900 Oh
world wealth lie in the ground u n
utilized they decrease by $4,000, 900
the pot they themselves are to par
ticipate in. They may not feel it in
fuel but they will fell it somewhere
else. 1t is too bad that the direct
cost of these things cannot be brought
home to the men who stand to lose
as the six-cent fare brought home
to street car riders that as service
costs more the tax is directly on
them. The street car riders could
see who was to pay. The trouble
is too many Of these costs come in
such a way that the man who pays
does not see where he pays it. Who
pays when steam railroading goes up?
Who pay when fuel Is scarce and
high? Who pays when production
