forts by the state OF Texas 10 re-
Quirs the payment Of taxes on oil

cording 20 Information received by

ion written By assistant attorney
general E i. Smith some time ago
10 controller n. L. WiEinton. It was
held that oil leases are taxable and

lector and assessor from collecting
the tax The case was tried and the
court which granted the Injunction

with their conquerors and been per-
mitted to exchange arguments. In
this first exchange, too, Allied pro-
cedure was cleverly regulated to
compel dealing first with the one
question on which Allied opinion
was united. On the sums which are
to be levied upon Germany, upon the
division of the sums between the
Allies. upon the conditions OF pay
nlents, there are as many different
views as there are nations concerned,
but in the matter of disarmament all
The Allies are as one.
The German Idea
But, looking to the future, can it
be expected that the same unity will
prevail? At the very least the Ger
mans plainly hope not, for they re-
vealed their future game in their
method at Spa. They "forget" to
bring their military men, with the
+ obvious intent that the economic
questions should. come up before the
military and that as consequence
they would be able TO manipulate,
and maneuver, proiting by the dis
array in Allied forces. Moreover,
even if they were checked at Spa,
they will have other occasions on
which to try again.
+ The significant fact here, which it
seems to me should be recognized
once for all, is that peace was not
made at Paris, at Versailles, at Spa,
cannot be made at any conference
which may come in the future, for
the very simple reason that there is
no settlement possible on any fixed
date. The war, from the German
point of view, continues because the
German people are still under the
pressure resulting from their defeat.
Germany is still fighting against
her enemies, not now with armies,
but with diplomatic weapons, to
escape from some of the conditions.
She is going to continue to fight
because the conditions are going to
remain up to the moment when she
either successfully repudiates the
unpaid balance of her account or
actually pays up, and in the latter
