ECONOMY AND A refund, WAY OUT OF A
MIDDLE, SAY W AyNE CO. LEGISLATORS

sion Of the legislature when it con-
venes next week" Representative
Knapp said Il think the legislature
should stay in session long enough to
give intelligent consideration to the
needs of the state
Should Meet Oftener.
Mr.. Knapp also said he thought the
legislature should meet oftener. Leg
islatures in many other states meet
every year." he said, and the legis-
lature of this state cannot be expected
to provide for the needs of a great
state like Indiana meeting only 60
days every two years"
Representative Knapp intends to in
troduce a measure that will provide
larger revenues for the counties.
IF l get any encouragement" be
said, Il am going to see if we can't
set a measure passed which will pro-
vide that the counties may keep the
money paid into their treasures for
automobile taxes. Automobile taxes
in Wayne county amount TO more than

MEXICO OWNS OILS,
But OPERATORS ARE
ALLOWED TO DRILL

MEXICO CITY, July 9-Articie 27,
of the Mexican constitution. which
nationalizes petroleum deposits, will
be sustained theoretically, but all de-
crees issued by former President Car
rama prejudicing prior rights of Pc
troieum owners will be abrogated by
presidential decree, to be issued
shortly. Provisional President Adolfo
de la Huerta, made this statement
while conversing with foreign CORES
pondents here last night
Oil men will be given the right to
pre-exempt petroleum claims within
five years, but once pre-emption is
made, they will have an indefinite
time within which to drill, the provis-
ional president said
He made 1t clear these were his
present views, which might possibly,
but not probably be changed after
conferring with the secretary Of in
dustry, commerce and labor, and after
hearing lawyers for oil interests and
his own attorneys in Joint debate on
the subject.
Only Difference In Name.
while the nation will tell oil men
that it owns the petroleum in the sub
soil" he said, what difference will it
make when the government cedes to
operators the right to extract this
oil and dispose of it at their pleas
ure? It is merely question of name
The substantial rights Of owners will
be safeguarded The nation owns all
minerals in the soil, but mine owners
do not feel their rights are jeopardized
since they are permitted to sell the
products to which the nation has NOM
inal title. The same is true Of Pc
troleum when the nation cedes its
of the surface"
Will Protect Owners.
The projected decree will protect
prior owners by forbidding outsiders
pre-empting the formers property, and
further, all such previous actions by
outsiders interfering with prior rights
will be abrogated, said the provisional
president. He declared he would pro
sent legislation to this effect to new
congress when it meets in September.
After that the matter will be in
the hands of the legislators.
Five generals have taken up arms
against the new Mexican government,
President De La Huerta said, but he
declared they did not constitute a
military menace, since they had but
very few followers. He estimated
that not more than 500 men had been
involved in recent outbreaks.
Sees No Danger, He Says
Admission was made by the prov1-
stonal president that the new govern
ment had faced a rather serious situa-
ton upon taking over the government
couple of months ago, but he as
serted the army had been reorganized
SO that unstable forces could not
shake the administration.
He said the government had no
knowledge of the reported attempt OF
Luis Cabrera and General Juan Bar,
ragan to organize a revolution In
northern Mexico.

SHIPPERS FACE RUIN
UNLESS COAL ORDERS
ARE LIFTED. CLAIM

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9-Ship-
pers at a hearing before the interstate
commerce commission today proposed
distribution of cars according to the
Industries ability to ship, increase Of
demurrage charges, complete embar-
go on export coal, its movement only
on permit and prohibition of coal
shipments on an open order.
In event Of failure of these pro-
posals to relieve the situation they
propose priority in service be given
shipment Of essentials, food, fuel
clothing, shelter and highways. The
shippers said their businesses faced
bankruptcy unless the order was
changed.
New emergency orders to relieve
car shortage were proposed today by
glass manufacturers, industrial sand
producers, building and highway con
tractors and others as substitutes for
the commissions order requiring that
preference be given coal mines east
of the Mississippi in the assignment
Of open top cars.
The commission is holding hearings
to determine If there is any necessity
for a modification Of its recent order
requiring preferential handling Of coal
shipments by railroads east of the
Mississippi
The highway commissioners urged
the necessity Of providing cars for
shipment of road building material
which they said is needed now in re-
pair work and for completing out
standing contracts.
The industries chiefly affected, ac-
cording to witnesses testifying yester-
day, are manufacturers or dealers in
cement, crushed stone, sand, gravel,
lime and similar building materials
and whose products are largely ship.
ped in open top cars.
Under the commissions order Of two
weeks ago most Of this class Of cars
has been confined to movement OF
coal. The result, it was said, has been
an almost complete stoppage Of ma
terials shipments.

HUN PUTS HIS
SIGNATURE ON
DOTTED LINE
Protests Clause Threatening
Further Invasion AS He
Yields to Allies Demands
at Spa.
WAS NEAR Time limit
(By Associated Press)

SPA, Belgium, July 9.-Germany' S
delegates signed at IL: As o'clock this
morning an engagement accepting the
terms of the allied note relative to dis
armament presented yesterday. This
action was taken under protest by the
German representatives.
The allied note, which amounted
virtually to an ultimatum, demanded
that the Germans accept the terms pre-
sented by noon today, aud stipulated
that. in the event of the Germans fail
ing to carry out the provisions Of the
demands, allied forces would occupy
parts of the German empire.
The Germans protested, in signing
the engagement, that the treaty of Yer
sailles did not oblige them to ac-
quiesce in further territorial occupa-
ton except for failure to fulfill the
treaty terms regarding reparation.
Vote Is Unanimous.
The decision of the German cabinet
to obey the allied demands was
reached at an early morning session
today, the vote being unanimous.
The vote was taken after a tele-
rhonic communication with Reichstag
leaders in Berlin, approving the accept
ance and communicating the desire of
the Reichstag and party leaders for the
cabinet at Spa to use its own Judge
ment.
A unanimous decision also was
taken by the cabinet that the allies
should be informed that Germany could
not accept these stipulations concern.
ing possible occupation of the Rhur
and other territories, provided the dis.
armament was not executed according
to the allies Judgment
Ask For Elimination.
It was held the German cabinet was
precluded by constitutional reasons
from entering into any such arrange
nent without the authority of parlia-
ment.
Hence. the allies were requested to
strike this paragraph from their de.
mand, it being said that otherwise the
Germans might not be able to continue
the conference.
The protest made by the Germans in
signing the engagement was submitted
in writing. In it the the delegates de-
MED authority to consent to occupa-
tion Of Germany territory except as
provided for in the treaty of Yer
sailles.

The supreme court of Indiana hav-
ing ruled that the state board Of tax
commissioners exceeded its authority
in making horizontal increase in
taxes payable this year. Senator Wal
ter McConaha, Of Richmond, believes
that a refund of tax oVer-paymentS
should be made to the taxpayers.
Senator McConaha states that he
does not have any idea what action
the state legislature will take on the
question at it's forthcoming special
session, which begins July II.
Wayne countys representative in
the state senate expressed the opinion
that if the state lacked sufficient
funds to make refunds of the states
share of the tax increase which the
supreme court has held to be illegal,
he would approve any satisfactory
proposal for the issuance Of bonds.
Need Additional Appropriations
Senator McConaha stated that the
call for a special session of the legis-
lature had been issued primarily for
the purpose of providing additional
appropriations for state institutions.
He expressed doubt that there were
sufficient funds in the state treasury
to provide for both tax refund and
for additional appropriations for state
institutions.
The senator shares the view Of sew
eral Wayne county officials that If a
tax refund is to be made it will be
best to deduct over payments when
second instalmenIs of taxes are paid,
next fall. 1t is agreed that by doing
this there might not be sufficient
funds remaining to meet the ordinary
governmental operating expenses, in
which event bond issues probably
would have to be floated, not only by
the state but by the county, the town
ships, incorporated towns and school
organizations.
Knapp Expected Action.
The action of the supreme court was
not unexpected, according to Repre-
sentative James NJ. Knapp, Of Hagers-
town. Il am glad that the supreme
courts decision came just when it
did" Mr.. Knapp said. Il have felt all
along that the state tax board had
exceeded its authority
Il do not think the legislature should
legaliZe the action of the state tax
board AS I see it now would be
opposed to any action of that sort.
There are only two remedies that
l see. 1he frSt remedy is the OlQ-
time principle Of curbing expenditures
Cities have been demanding too much
They have been travelling at too fast
a pace. Municipalities ask for great
amounts of money for everything and
| they must learn to ecOnomiZe. An
| other way out might be for legislature
to pass a law authorizing temporary
loans to municipalities to tide them
| over

TURKS BEGIN TO SEE
WRITING ON WALL;
COLLAPSE EXPECTED
CBv Associated Press)


ONSTANTINOPLE, July g. The
Turks are beginning to realize fully
the critical situation created by the
triumphant Greek advance in Anatolia,
and what they regard as a comp etc
rupture of peace negotiations.
Both government and anti-govern
ment newspapers comment on the de-
parture Of Turkish peace delegates
from Paris and urge discontinuance
of Mustapha Kemal Pasha's military
operations in Asia Minor. This de-
mand, however, was not made until
news Of the absolute rout Of the ma
tionalist forces had been published.
There is much speculation among
the Turks as to how the entente pow
ers will deal with them after the
Greeks dominate the Bagdad railway,
which now seems inevitable to the
people here, although those in the in
terror of the county still hope that
Mustapha kemal may check the ad-
vance.
1t is feared generally among the bet
ter educated Turks that the Greeks
will be given the Mosque of Saint So
fla or even Constantinople, as fur
ther reward for the military successes.
Italy and France would doubtless op-
pose such gifts to Greece, but Great
Britain and Greece have furnished
virtually all the military and naval
forces used in the campaign to sub
jugate the nationalists, and the Turks
believe the latter alone will dictate
the punishment to be inflicted upon
them for their failure to accept the
original peace terms.
