LONDON CREDITS THE
JUSSERANO RUn0R
by RoBERT y. PREV.

London, Feb. l5.--Weil- informed cir
ctes here are Inclined To credit the re-
pctt from Washington that President
Wilson intends to ask France 10 recall
jules j. Jusserand as French ambas-
ss1or to the United States on tho
ground that the diplomat encouraged
Senator Lodges proposals for reserva-
lions to the peace treaty.
Officials on the Inside" of the secret
history of tne peace conference recall
that last spring President Wilson was
greatly annoyed al the discovery that
hiyh French officials notably Captain
Aydre Tardieu--were furnishing Wash
ington opponents Of the treaty with
ammunition TO shoot at that document.
Wehn he returned from Washington
10 Paris in March. 1919. tho president
turned down the ready made plan
which had been tentatively approved
ny Coicnei House and OK Secretary
Lansing to establish "A buffer state ON
the left bank OF the Rhine. He also
declined to concur in the establish
ment of an International league OF ma
tons army and refused TO countenance
the pooling Of the war debts in any
form
Soon after That President wilson
complained bitterly to friends that
underground" information was going
TO Washington from French source
He said ne was fully posted on these
Vaccinations which, he added. tended
to weaken his authority with congress
However. he never mentioned M JUS
serand's name in this connection.
The London Sunday newspa pers fea-
tured the Wilson Lansing break as the
biggest world event. but refrained
from editorial comment

FRANCE CARES NOT
So TREATY IS SIGNED
Hy YES GISnT.

Paris. Feb. tb.--The decision Of the
United states not to participate in the
request II the eNtradition Of war Grim
trails from Germany is perfectly reas-
enable and commemorate. It is inn
possible to ask any country to deliver
up it's citizens sixteen months after
tie armistice. Besides assuming that
the whole $50 should be duly handed
over to the allies, Europe would be
obliged to continue for years an I'M
ending series OF trials which would be
bound to foster unrest and discontcn Mt
everywhere instead of encouraging
work and enterprise.
The latter is the main point TO be
achieved. That is why France ia in
different to the Wilson-Lansing Rquab-
bic and docs not care who is Ia Of
tce at Washington provided the treaty
Us ratified without delay. Lansing has
Lot succeeded In bringing about rati-
Gcatton, therefore we have no regret
for him.

Tax exemption is un-Amerlcan be-
cause IL relieves one class at the ex-
pense of another. Until recent years
tax exemption Of Federal and Mu-
nlcipal bonds was fairly harmless

tant changes that have taken place
IN economic conditions, especially in
the methods of taxation. it can no
longer be justified. In fact, it is Il
iagrant evil of which the majority
Of taxpayers are blissfully uncon-
scious.
The original argument for the ex-
smptlon of Federal Farm Loan
oonds was that 1t would reduce ma
ter4ally the cost of borrowing on
farm mortgage security, thereby re-
ducing the farmers rate. which was
a contamination very much 70 be de-

investment for those of large income
who were willing to pay enough pre-

the reach of the ordinary small in
weston and in consequence the great
bulk of them have gravitated into
the Golfers of the very wealthy.
This puts the burden of taxation
on wage earners, upon production.

COUNTY court SAVES
$4,000 IN ROAD WORK

The Marion county commissioners
have recently let the last large con-
tract for county work on the Pacific
highway, south of Salem. The coun-
ty. court, after advertising for bids for
the removal of 5000 cubic yards of
rock at Taylor's Canyon, seven miles
south of Salem, received bids vary
ing in estimate from $50 per to $2.75
After due deliberation, the court de-
cided that the county might be saved
q considerable sum of money if a
more reasonable estimate could be Sc
cured, as it was evident that botn
bids included more velvet than was
warranted.
The contract was finally let to A.
c. Hansen of Mount Angel, who con-
tracted to clear up the regarding for
$1.75 per cubic yard. The court esti-
mates that this will effect saving
of at least $4,000 for the county.
Work will begin on the cut at once,
the county court being especially anx-
ious to complete this section of the
highway before summer traffic starts
More than 14,100 weights were in
spected by the deputy state sealer of
weights and measures during 1919.
