Mir. j. j. Parker, the republican

aries OF the state officers. but in doing
this he declares that he will reduce
taxes, an utterly impossible thing
from a standpoint of mathematics, OF
course his tax reduction plea is only
bait for voters. for everybody knows
that YOU cannot raise more money for
school teachers, state institutions ana
salaries by reducing the states in
come. He attempts to array class
against class. especially the farmers
against the corporations. private and
municipal, by saving the reyaluation
act puts the tax burden on the farm
er's shoulders. He declared that while
town property has been put on the
tax books at double value by the re-
valuation act, farming property mas
been put down as four times its for
mer value. That may be true in some
counties. but II is not true In Cleve-
land, for as the Star has stated before
rs per cent of the values given by
property owners were accepted with
out change by the listers and more
values were reduced than were rals-
ed.

ya 1ation act but are now trying 10

COTTON SEED MARkET Il
DOWN To 30 CENTS BUsHEI
This is Quite slump Compared 90
81 80 Per Bushei During Middle Of
Las: Season.

Si.S0 Per Bushei During Middle Of
Las; Season.
Just now the cotton seed market
IS being quoted at fifty cents a bushel.
against $3.50 a bushel during the
middle of the past winter: but ii is
reasonably certain that II there were
any seed moving the price would be
lower rather than higher.
The present condition OF the seed
and oil market is anything but en-
cOuraging either TO the producers or
crushers of seed. and there seems to
he very little comprehensive infor-
nation as TO the difficulty.
Oil which brought 26 cents year
ago is now being quoted AT or 10
cents and meal that brought SO a
ton in the west is now going begging
at $50.
Every oil mill IN the country. both
east and west. has liuters piled up
around il. and is unable to sell them
at any price.
About the only thing in connection
with seed products that has not gone
uON III tat Sdt4f pAhNuAlAoh - hAA
Is lard substitutes that are made from
this same oil.
Cotton seed hulls could probably be
sold in This market at from $50 to
SIS a ton if there were any TO be
had; but there are very few to be
had in this section at any price.
Western hulls-those of Texas and
Oklahoma-are being offered AZ SIS a
ton against $40 a few months ago;
but they are not salable because OF
their inferior quality and because OF
discriminatory freight rates.
A convention of Texas farmers
that canvassed the whole situation
recently came to the conclusion that
il would be best to advise farmers
TO hold their seed off the market and
use them for feeding and fertilizine
rather than sell them at price that
the mills would be able to pay on
basis of the market value of the
various products.

OPPOSE AMENDING
LEAGUE COVENANT
BAIFOUR DECLARES IT Is TOO
EARLY TO ATTEMPT
SUCH A STEP.
South American Delegates Are Of the
Opinion That Any Amendments
Should Await Proportions Ex-
pected From United States.

Geneva.-There will be no amend
ments to the covenant Of the league
of nations at this session of the as
sembly II the decision of committee
No. THAT Of general organization
which has been considering amend
ments, is approved in full session.
Arthur ]. Balfour, chairman of the
committee, suggested to the committee
on November %, that it was too early
to draw conclusions as to the working
Of the league or to form an idea as
to how the covenant may be improved.
He proposed that the committee rec
commended the appointment of spe-
cial committee to consider amendments
and report to the next meeting of the
assembly.
The Scandinavian delegates on the
committee insisted upon consideration
Immediately Of amendments they pro-
posed, but they were outvoted. The
South American delegates accepted Mr..
Balfour's recommendation the more
readily because they are of the opinion
that any amendment Of the covenant
should await propositions that are ex-
pected from the United States after
President.elect Harding's consultations
on the subject. They declared 1t would
be entirely out Of order to revise the
covenant in the absence Of one of
the most important nations Of the
world.
