reservations to the Peace Treaty, Dem
ocratic Senators decided in a confer
ence today to proceed with their pre-
vious plan to help bring the Treaty up
in the Senate Monday and work for a
reservation compromise.

the Senators are said to have asserted
that Democratic leaders should be
more compromising in their attitude,
followed the submission of the commu-
nication.
Lodge Plan Nucleus
Washington, Feb. 7.-Plans OF pro-
cedure in carrying the Peace Treaty
back to the floor of the Senate are be-

is determined, it was said to make a

vations, as drawn in the recent bipar-
tisan conference would afford un-
cleus for compromise.

Versailles treaty which the Senator
presented to the bipatisan confer

TAXATION EQUALITY
GOV. MORROW

Equality in taxation was urged by
Governor Morrow when he made the
opening address of the four days
session of the Kentucky County Tax
Commission conference at Frankfort.
The thorn in the flesh of the people,
he declared, is not the fact that they
have to pay taxes, but the fact that
in many instances some people are
paying more than their just proper
tion, of taxes. He laid special empha-
sis on the equality of taxation, and
expressed the hope that the commits
sioners would see that the burden of
taxation was. distributed equally. En-
making taxation uniform Governor
Morrow declared the tax commissions
er to be an important official.
Rainey 7. Wells and r. P. Wells,
members of the commission, made
brief speeches at the morning ses-
sion, both emphasizing the necessity
of taxes for better roads, better
schools and a better state.

is in attendance. The roll call show

ing. Several women deputy tax COM

PREDICT DEADLOCK
AT FRISCO MEETING
AS A Result of Persistency of
Wet Plank Promoters, Who
Are On the Grounds
(Ev Associated Press

San Francisco, June 23-The
hope that the gathering storm
over the prohibition issue in the
Democratic National Convention
here might spend itself behind the
closed doors of the platform COM
mittee, was virtually abandoned
today and the leaders are adj
mitting that both sides are bring
ing the heaviest artillery for a
finish fight, and are prepared to
face a tempestuous debate on the
convention floor.
Even if the platform committee
does agree on the plant, it is "a
fair bet" said Chairman Cum
mings, that the question will be
taken up before the convention.
That the "bone dry" or ''bcer"
plank will apparently be the issue
is agreed everywhere. Such de
velopment will hold dramatic
possibilities, including further
complication OF an uncertain pres
idential nomination outlook.
Such talk as there was today,
regarding candidates, seemed to
strengthen the prospect of a
deadlock for several ballots.
