LET AMERICA HOLD SACK

1t is now very plain that Europe
has long intended to make this nation
.esponsible for the war debts OF the
allies. This, 1t now appears, was to
take the form OF another and more gl-
gantic loan with no real obligation to
repay.
1t was the original plan to execute
this loan" through the League of Ma
tions. But the Treaty was not rati-
fed and now It will not be except with
reservations. The delay has been the
means OF unc0vering the true inward
ness OF this conspiracy to work upon
the sympathies of the American pep
pie, capitalize those sympathies, then
let Uncle Sam hold tho sack.
This sack was to contain the finan-
cial burden OF the larger part of the
allies war debts and include virtual
taking over Of Great Britain's huge
war obligations.
The aid OF some OF our big bankers
has been enlisted In this scheme. rhe
recent urge that this country 70 back
TO war rations and squeeze every nick
ei for year or more to pile up funds
to finance" Europe and SO help out
sorely-pressed prohteers to keep Il
up" little longer. came from this
source.
Other evidence comes from across
the Atlantic. A few weeks ago. Lloyd
George significantly announced In
parliament that arrangements for a
large International loan were neces-
sary and that the United States
should contribute in dollars that part
OF the expenditure which is to be in
Cured"
A member Of the French Chamber
declared this country had made money
during the war and should now be
required to pay "its share" of the al
lies war debt.
Accompanying this there has been
much propaganda for the purpose Of
having us cancel the ten billion dollar
debt the allies owe US.
Think OF canceling debt OF ten bill
lions, then lending the creditors thir-
y-five billions more and becoming
the endorser on the creditors notc !
Never before has such a gigantic con-
hdence game ever been dreamed Of or
attempted. And Uncle Sam Is ex-
rerted to fall for II.
These Manifestations have been fol-
lowed by a visit to New York and
Washington by Viscount Grey and Sir
George Paish.
II was Sir George who really spilled
the beans. In newspaper interview
In which he gave details and figures
/ re declared his mission here was ,o
conclude loan which would s.agger
4 tha world.

SHIFTING THE TAX BURDEN

Let's get down to business. The war
Is over. Today the future calls US. II
demands the best we can ofer-team
work. brains, determination, energy,
but especially action. Political diff
ferences must be laid aside. Proflteers
and special privilege must be put out
OF business. The time has come for a
square deal for the people who are
creating the wealth and paying the
bills. The people must have legisla-
ton backed by effective and forceful
administration that will help them get
back to normal conditions Of peace and
prosperity. Sooner or later they will
get 1t, but they should have 1t now.
So far a. one man can go, l am here
to give 1t to them on the most straight
forward basis possible, for another day
Is here and 1t needs our full attention.
A person may be large taxpayer
and not own an inch Of real estate.
For this reason believe all the people
are vitality concerned at this moment in
the stupendous scheme to saddle this
country with so-called international
loan Of IS billions Of dollars that
would scarcely be worth paper ON
which It was written.
As a people we have learned one les
son 30 thoroughly this last year that
we have got It by heart. as the boys
say. 1t is that, business passes its tax
es to the consumer by adding the cost
Of them to the price Of the goods and
that every time we buy anything we
are paying some Of these taxes.
1t can be imagined what such q gi-
gantic loan to England and to Europe
as IS billions would mean to this peo-
pie. who already have lent Europe 10
billions Of dollars on which not cent
Of interest has yet been paid.
The Secretary Of the Treasury enum-
crates that since the armistice the
Treasury has made direct cash ad-
vances Of $2,3S0. .s91 900 to the allies,
with $736,lS1 900 additional through
purchase of their currencies to cover
U. 8. expenditures in Europe; and has
sold them on credit 65S millions in
supplies; has expended 100 million
dollars in relief. and has allowed 1924.
2l1.000 in unpaid interest to accrue.

MILLION WORTH
OF TRUCKS
GOING TO RUIN
War, Materials Exposed to All
Kinds of Weather-Crit-
icism and Defense

North Dakota has 2 million dollars
worth of trucks and other surplus
war materials, part of which stands
on open prairie exposed to all kinds
of weather. - H. Ill.,.
The loss due to deterioration be-
cause of lack of proper care is
enormous. Criticism has been direct
ed toward the state highway commits
sion because of the condition. The
highway commissions answer is that
there are no funds available to pro-
vide storage.
The total value of the material Is
given the state by the federal govern
ment is placed at $1,050, 1898 by w.
II. Robinson, state engineer. They in
clude 296 trucks, 30 tons Of spare
parts, 4 tractors, 8 Ford ambulances,
4 Night Ford trucks, 4 motorcycles,
sprinklingi wagons, clam she'll bucket,
surveyors transit. drinking water
cats, shoyels and hatchets, etc.
According to the state engineer it
is quite probable that many valuable
parts, which have been stored in tents,
have been stolen.
An appropriation for the election
of a storage building is advocated by
the engineer. The state is required
to pay freight on the war materials
and it is said that Is trucks were re-
jected because the commission could
not pay the freight.
Many of the trucks are distributed
TO counties for local use.

London, Oct. 14.-Denunciation OF

grow into formidable movement. Tht
latest recruit is Lord Robert Cecil
one of the most respected of the un.

count NGrey in letter to the press
calling for an investigation by con-
Stitutional tribunal as to whether the
government is responsible for the re-
orisals in Ireland. -
The letter begins by. referring to
Premier Lloyd Georges speech as as
3uming that the reprisals have beer,
confined to the shooting by police OF
those reasonably suspected Of an in
tention to attack them. or who had
been incontrovertibly guilty of the
murder of their fellows.
