MAYOR R. W GAYLOR
ISSUES STATEMENT
In Answer to Articles Appear
ing in Tribune Regarding
City's Indebtedness.

City hall officials are considerably
wrought up over IN Indianapolis
iispttch, when recently appeared
or the front page OF the South Bend
Tribune. concerning the iinRncie. .
condition OF various civil cities Of
the state and referring particularly
TO the tax levy in these cities. The
article pointed out that In 1921 tn
taxpayers o. the state VIII be called
on 10 pay increased taxes as n ri
hat that this condition is not duo
the extravaganza of the civil cities.
but rather 70 greatly increased ex-
penditures of some OF the other tax
ing units of the state.
" hat particularly aroused the ire
OF the city officials was the state
ment in this article that the city Of
MiShawaka, referring 10 the clyi'
city. had increased its bonded In
debtedness from $I00.7S9 10 SILL
ga during the year 1913. IL is
claimed that this statement is abb
solutely wrong and does the city a
great injustice. The facts are that
not oTly was there no increase In
the bonded or contracted indebted
ness OF tie civil city during the year
1915. but that there was an actual
decrease of both the bonded and
ttAAAAAAE0 llk0EOAthAaCGo ~ NAAN Nv a.
city in the sum of $l1,776.26 II
is also pointed out that during the
past seven years there has been a
substantial decrease each year In
the bonded and contracted indebt-
edness Of the civil city OF Misha-
waka.
Ia reply 10 the dispatch referred
10, and that the taxpayers of Misha-
waka may fully understand the eX-
act situation with reference 20 the
bonded and contracted Indebtedness
Of the civil city. Mayor Ralph w.
Gaylor has prepared and given out
the following statement:
The entire bonded and contracted
Indebtedness OF the civil city OF
Mishawaka, Jan. l. 1914. when The

Of the public in 8. strike. asked by
Governor Henry j. Allen. of Kansas,

the public had any rights in a dis

SPA CONFERENCE
AGAIN POSTPONED
Italy Is Disconnected with
Portion Of German Repara-
TOMS Money French and
British Decided Upon.
BY RALPH

Copyright. 1920. by New York Tribune,
Paris. June 7.-Another postpone
ment of the supreme council meeting
In Brussels and of circumference
with the Germans in Spa has become
necessary.
I understand the allied leaders have
now practically decided to hold the
general Brussels conference July 2,
and this will be followed by the dis
cussions with Chancellor Mueller or
his successor July S.
Champions from Italy.
This further postponement OF the
Spa negotiations which were to have
been held here June 81. is the direct
result of complaints from the Italian
government.
1t is understood Italy is discomfort
ed with the portion of the German
reparations money which the French
and British premiers decided to allot
her. In addition the Italians are pro-
testing against the somewhat high
handed manner in which Millerand
and Lloyd George, meeting in a pri-
vate conference in Hythe, England,
settled the amount of reparation
money Germany would be asked to
pay, without any discussion of the
subject whatever with the other al
lies. q
Belgium. also, is %displeased over the
independent action of the French and
British premiers.
And it is said here in France that
the representatives Of the United
States government on the separations
commission are also critical If the
Hythe decision.
In this state of affairs, the French
and British premiers are understood
to have decided to meet again and re-
consider the Whole situation before
discussing the problems with the SUI
preme council members in BRUSSELS.
They realize a whole series of new
problems has been opened and that
time will be required for their settle
ment.
To Meet in French Town.
AS the former discussion between
the two premiers took place in an
English coast town, a French seaside
resort will be selected for the scene
of the new conference.
Boulogne has been named tenta-
lively as the rendezvous. 1t is said
that the conferences held there will
be short. The allied premiers are ex-
.pected to meet there before June 80.

POTATOES SELLING
AT 20 CENTS
Average Price Of $3.50 a

Chicago. June 7.-Nsw potatoes at
an average price OF 1920 a bushel or
Sill to s12 a hundred weight, Satur-
day. set an American altitude record
for the cost of spuds. One car of old
potatoes sold at from s6.75 to 81 a
bushel. The new potato price reached
a record Friday when the Sill mark
first was reached.
The principal reason for the high
prices, according to The federal bu-
eau o; markets, is that this is a
period between arrivals from differ
ent markets. Shipments from Florida
hav ceased and thosn from Louisiana
are growing lighter. But new stock

From the Manufacturers Record.

When the Industrial worker has been
told by the president Of the United

day or be paid on that basis a very large
wage. it will be very difficult for him to
change his opinion on the subject; and
yet he too must face the reality that in
limiting his hours and limiting his output
he Is setting an example to the farmer

goods, with steadily rising prices, we
wonder II President Wilson does not
sometimes wish he had never made the
statement to the effect that society lar

The Manufacturers Record repeats
what 1t has been saying for man years:
1t believes in high wages, high salaries
and e larger profit for the farmers than
they made prior to two years ago. It
fully recognizes which is taking place,
but 1t does not believe that it is pos
sible to produce the things which the
world must I've on the eight-hour-a-day
plan. So far as we have been able to
study, no man working only eight hours
q day has ever made a great success. No
physician, no preacher, no teacher, no
farmer, 10 manufacturer, no mar in
public life who has been able to achieve
much for himself or humanity ever did
so on eight hours Of labor. Mr.. Wilson
would never nave. been president If he
had worked only eight hours a day, and
he would never have made any stir in
