COLONEL HOUSE SEES
GOVERNMENT CONTROL
BY LABORING CLASS
CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE.

CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE.
The nominal cause OF the present
controversy is that Great Britain
is receiving more than l60.OoO.Oo0
normally $500. 900. O0OD from the
coal exported. and the miners in
sist this excess shall he divided
between themselves and the domes-
tic consumers.
That demand has brought to the
attention of France and other Contl-
mental users of English coal the fact
that they are the ones that are pay
ing the excess profits. Consequently
much feeling is being aroused.
Forecasts Certain Changes.
Intelligent observers believe that
sooner or later the primary question
as to whether there shall be parlia-
mentary government or govern
ment- by labor through direct action
must be fought out. The present
crisis may pass by compromise. but
it will merely delay. not avoid. the
ultimate trial OF strength in funda-
mental issues
The miners claim. and with
truth, that the investigation last
year into the pay Of the miners and
the conditions under which they
had to work revealed a shocking
state OF affairs and created wide
sympathy for them.
Lloyd George Realizes Opportunity.
The governments position has
also been well stated but one dim
Guilty which II will have to meet il
serious crisis arises is whether
the present Parliament actually rep
resents public opinion. There is no
cleverer politician living thav
Lloyd George. and he may seize such
an opportunity as this controversy
with the miners gives him to dis
solve Parliament and 80 before the
people on an issue which he may de-
clare, when stripped OF its csmou
fage, is whether Great Britain
shall continue to be governed by a
parliamentary body elected by tho
free exercise of the franchise or
whether an organized minority pro-
ducinE some of the essentials of life
shall govern by direct action.
Meanwhile the Russian expert
ment in BolShevism is having a
profound influence upon the situa-
tion and the Soviet government Is
said to be deeply interested in the
outcome. While the present con-
troversy with labor is question 10

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Tax re-
ceipts on December Is, totaled $685.

statement issued today.
Secretary Of the Treasury Houston
had estimated that $S50,00O,00O in in
come and excess profits tax was due
on that day, the last for the payment
OF the fourth installment Of these
taxes.
While the amount reported in the
treasury statement is not the entire
amount collected, according to treas
ury officials, it was taken as an ac-
tual indication that collections would
go below Houston's estimates, because
of defaulting by the large tax payers
who say they have not the money to
pay.
Congress today was again being
urged to come to the relief of large
taX payers caught short Of funds in
the present business depression. The
plan now being urged is for the gov
ernment to forego the five per cent dc.
fault penalty until March IS. charg-
ing only interest for the unpaid taxes.

of the state supreme court went into

before the court during the morning

sentenced to be electrocuted at Ne
braska penitentiary Monday next for
murder.
Counsel for Cole asked the court to
review the recent action of Judge
Paine in Howard county which amout-
ed to reaffirmation Of Coles sentence.
Assistant Attorney Genefl Wheel
er declared the action was not re-
viewable, Cole was found guilty of
murder by tho Howard county jury
which originally heard the case, he
was found guilty and sentenced and
Judge Paine's recent affirmation OF
the sentence was strictly in accord

The court is expected to render a
decision later in the day.
Wheeler declared there had been
manipulation of the federal courts
during the past two years which tend
ed to defeat justice.
Coles attorney based his argument
on alleged disobedience Of federal
court order to Judge Paine asking that
he rehear the case to- determine the
degree Of Coles guilt. Judge Paine
merely reafflrmed the sentence, order
ing Cole remanded to prison for exc
cution.
