PEACE FURTHER AWAY
 THAN EVER BEFORE

Washington, January N.-Prospects for the League of Nations, which last week were regarded by optimists as brighter than ever before, are darker than ever before tonight, it is indicated. The so- called bipartisan committee, which en- deavored to frame a compromise, split to pieces today noon. Senator Hitch cock, speaking for the President, de- clared his unwillingness to accept the utimatum of Senator Lodge, republican leader, that the democrats supinely swal- low what the republicans had written or abandon the pursuit of adjustment.
 On the part of all democrats there was
 more or less emphatic statement of pro test regarding Senator Hitchcock threat to carry the treaty fight again to the floor. It was admitted that such acton would have no good effect, that the re- publican majority had demonstrated its ability if not willingness to suffer the criticism of the national modified as It was by fullsome condemnation, and that it's only service would be the tying or the hands of the Senate for an indefl- mite length of time in the moment when important legislation appears imperative. The democratic leader, when apprised Of the attitude of his following, returned to l Lodge and suggested that one more ef- fort at peaceful settlement be undertaken.

 Se0 navide0n RuildiuR


 Washington, January 27.--(speeial)-W. P. c. Harding, governor of the federal reserve system, defended today before he banking and currency committee of the House that section of the federal re- serve law which requires the clearage of checks at par.
 Governor Harding admitted knowledge of the dissatisfaction on the part of some of the banks of the country and practi- caIly all of the banks of Alabama and Georgia. He took the position, however, that inasmuch as 4s0O0 of the 5000 banks of the country had accepted the situation the remaining 1000 should be given no immunity against the operation of the law.
 The banking and currency committee for several days has discussed the quar- sel of the smaller banks or the south against the federal reserve system. and while it is improbable that the commit Ire of ifs own responsibility will draft an amendment, there is no question but Chat an amendment to the existing law will be offered. Representative SteagaH sf Alahaxna will offer such an amend ment if one from another source IS not forthcoming within the next few days.
 Under this amendment the state banks would he permitted, as heretofore, to col Iect for clearing checA 10 cents on the 500 or fraction thereof. It has been con tended by the state banks that the federal reserve law deprived them of revenue in the sum of s1,0o0.o0O in Georgia and as much in Alabama.

OUT BLANKS FOR CORPORATIONS
 AND PARTNERSHIPS

Under the 1918 internal revenue law all partnerships are required to fine income tax returns regardless of whether or not they were operated at a proet or loss, according to an announcement made yes terday from the office of John D. Me- Neel collector of internal revenue,
 Blanks for partnerships and corpora lions have been mailed out and all firms not receiving them in a reasonable length of time are requested by officials to write or call at the office and se- cure them.
 Corporations were formerly required to fine income tax returns if profits for the year amounted to $6000 or over but all corporations must file returns under the 1918 statute.
 Officials state that many corporations have never filed income tax returns and so are not on the mailing list at the office of the internal revenue collector These persons are advised to take iri1- mediate steps to secure blanks and file returns.
 Blanks for individuals will be mailed out as soon as they arrive at the local officse

THE DELINQUENT TAX LIST.

The law providing for the publication of the
delinquent tax lists is nothing short of egazed
graft. As long the law provides that these lists
must be published annually any newspaper will
accept them, Of course That is legitimate.
1t is claimed that this law was pssaed a
political sop to the newspapers and has been main
tanned by a newspaper lobby. We do not know
its history, but we do know that it works a most
unconscionabe hardship upon the taxpayers of the
state. For instance the publication of the delin-
qUent tax list in Guadalupe county this year cost
that comparatively poor county $500.
II there newspapers in the state which
openly demand the continuance of such system
will they please speak out so that people may
know who they are? If they dare not demand it
openly they should be ashamed to demand it Sc
crety.
While do not know what influence backed
the passage of this law do know that it was not
sound, economical administration which suggested it,
Let the newspapers of the state show themselves
above petty personal advantage at public expense,
by joining in demanding the repeal of this rdicu-
lous law. Any paper which is rendering decent
public service find a way to struggle along
without this something for nothing perquisite. We
should be consistent enough to part with our own
special advantage against public interest while we
are demanding that others part with theirs
