WASHINGTON, Feb 3-Described d

WASHINGTON BursaN

~ NS'ttHGtWL DETS0N
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-Repeal Of
ali war legislation. 80 that the United
States can be unshackled from war con-
ditions in government and industry
was advocated by Senator Warren G.
Harding, Ohio's favorite son for the
Republican nomination for President
in a talk tonight at the National
Press Club.
Every war measure ought to be
ended,' he declared in emphasizing
this point. 1--WE need as much repeal
of obstruction as we need enactment
for construction"
"The world never wholly forgets its
commercial inclinations," he CON
tinued "The student who sees no com
mercial motives in the world war is
blind to the truth of the situation And
the seeker after complete restoration
ignores the big fact if ne sees no com
rercial ambitions in the treaty and
efforts to resume the way of nations
There must be thought Of it amid the
calls for aid. Only the other day
saw the proposal of q European power

cratic nominee. Senator Robert l..
Owen, of Oklahoma, and ex-senator
James Hamilton Lewis, Of Oklahoma,
are to speak in few days.
For the anti-treaty side Senator
Hiram johnson has passed five days In
the district, drawing tremendous
crowds and getting good newspaper
publicity. Senator William E. Borah,
Of Idaho, is expected in few days.
Johnson made an apparent hit in his
speeches by quoting remarks made in
various speeches by Senator Reed, with
whom ne and Borah nave coopcrated
in their fight on the treaty. Despite
the gnashing of teeth by the Wilson
Democrats when Reeds name is men,
toned. there were loud cheers from the
crowds at every reference johnson
made to the Missouri Senator.
Differ on Victory Interpretation
AS might be expected. the two sides
differ radically, even in private conver-
sations. as TO what would be victory.
The normal Democratic majority, how
ever, has run around $500. The Demo
Gratis refer only to the last majority
of Judge Alexander, running against
the same Republican, John Frost, who
is now making the race. This was
1875, though the Democrats refer to
it as "about 1900"
The Democrats say that anything
above $500 will be regarded by them
as triumph. They are hoping to win
by more than 1000. They wave aside
questions as to why they do not ex-
pect an old-time majority of $500,
saying such majorities were won a
long time ago.
The Republicans point out that in a
Republican year. where they elected a
majority of about fifty in the House
of representatives, 1918. Judge Alex
arder carried the district by 1,795.
Any reduction of that figure, they
claim, would practically be a Repub-
lican victory, while merely maintaining
it would give the Democrats little
cause for JOY. They point out that
with this district giving Judge Alex
ander 1875 majority the State of Mis-
souri, elected Republican United
States Senator. Selden P. Spencer, by
tidy majority. Their contention is
that unless the Democrats get ma
jority Of around 5000 it ought to
worry them. Outwardly the Repub-
lcans express hope of electing Con-
gresham, but in their hearts they
will be tickled to death if they con
whittle down the Democratic majority
to about 1000.

LICENSE PENDING
LEGAL ACTION
City Council Raises License to
$500 on Poultry House But
Holds it up for Legality.

Mayor John A. Barry called the
City Council together Friday night
on special call to take up the license
tax on the wholesale poultry house
here by request of several citizens
unjust, and would drive farm trade
who claimed the license of 500 was
from Cloverport. The meeting drew
larger crowd out that night than
has been at a council meeting for
some time
Mayor Barry made a statement that
the ordinance had only been posted
and not law, and the only way it
could be amended was for some of the
council who had voted for the or
dinance to make a motion to recon-
slider it, but members of the council
refused to do this and the ordinance
will be taken to court to test the
legality of it. In order not to inter-
fere with the produce that was fast
accommodating a motion was made sus-
tanned by the council to allow the
poultry house and merchants to con-
tinue their business as heretofore,
as no enforcement would be made
pending legal action.
The Poultry House here is operated
by Armour & Co, incorporated, of
Chicago, and the company boasts that
it does $4,000 to $4,000 business
here annually but it only lists $375
worth of stock, which consists of
empty egg cases and coops and about
about Sos worth butter, eggs, cream
and poultry; the rest of the stock
when in coops, cases etc, are intran-
sit and cannot be taxed Therefore
the city council thought it was Justly
entitled to derive some benefit of this
business as all local business concerns
are taxed by city, county and state.
Armour and Company's Wholesale
Poultry House here only pays taxes,
amounting to about $2.37.

were all one mass of flames and too
late to save any of the stock.
