Roumania's Oil Wells.

MANY of the Roumanan oil wells
are not in working order, which IS
chiefly due to the military measures
taken by the allies at the time OF the
German advance in RoYmania. Al
though Gen. Falkenhayn's experts de-
voted particular attention to the re-
construction of the dismantled wells
their work was crowned with limited
success, and it will take long period
of systematic work to raise the Rou-
monian oil fields again to their pre-
war importance. The Roumanian gov
eminent is reported to have lately
concluded a convention with the Aus
trian government whereby they are to
supply the Austrians with petroleum
and other material of primary neces-
sitv in exchange for industrial prod
ucts.

TAXES IN GERMANY HEAVY
individuals Are Beginning to Feel That
Country Really Suffered Defeat
in the War.

The Individual German has not be-
gun to feel the peace terms, imam
cially.
During the war the Germans have
been loaning their money to the gov
eminent. This year they have begun
to give 1t.
There is an estate tax graduated as
to size and as to relationship. 1t I'M
noses the heaviest tax on the largest
inheritance from the most distant rel
alive.
A peculiar feature of this law, Illus
tratinC It's severity. is provision that
in no case may the tax exceed the
amount of the inheritance taxed. No
mean cousin can leave spite money
which would compel the recipient TO
pay more than he got, anyhow.
An income tax ranges to about ~
per cent as the income grows.
There Is profits tax and heavy
tax on wealth increases during the
war-to get the protiteers-the usual
taxes for revenue, heavier than ever
and capital levy is being considered
With food, coal and clothing short
they are bound to add to the discon-
tent. Agltators will make the most OF
the crisis.
But Germany has weathered two
crises as serious: In the most difficult
months Just after the surrender a year
ago; and the peace conference period,
when she woke up, as loser, to the
terms.

GOV cox THE CHOICE

Starting third in the race for the
nomination at the democratic nation
al convention, Gov. Cox of Ohio kept
his hat in the rim" unt1 the end and
on the 44th ballot received the covct-
ed prize. While not generally regard
ed as strong candidate as MI.
McAdoo, he is great camnaigner and
exceedingly popular in the great
state of Ohio where he ran $4,000
votes ahead of his ticket. He will
give Senator Hardin a warm contest
in the Buckeve state where there are
nearly a million voters and which
has "a votes in the electoral college,
Ohio has gone democratic in the last
two presidential elections and it will
be the great battle-ground Of the 1920
campaign.
Gov. Cox will have the support of
the "wet" element in his MARTY which
is much stronger in the East than
in the South and West where Bryan's
dry plank in the platform received
most of its sunnort.
Rightly charged with blocking the
wheels of progress in not allowing
the women of the United States to
participate in the next election. Gov.
Clement should Immediately call an
extra session of the Vermont Lebgis-
lature that he republican marty may
reap the benefit of bcinp the one that
permitted the women to vote. To let
the democratic party get any salts
faction by lettin~ Tennessee become
the "Perfect 36" would be DISGRACE
and a humiliation to the state and the
party that Gov. Clement represents.
And when the Vermont Legislature
is called in special session we expect
that our state senators and the rep
resentatives from Caledonia county
will help put the 10th amendment
across.
While it is earl to nredict the
result in November the republican
party ought to win cut and we be-
heve that it will.

accident happened when they at
tempted to pass another car about
three miles from the villapc of Lam
caster. They signalled the car,
which turned to the right and then
made quick turn to the left.
Rudolph Rasmussen, who was at
the wheel, was forced, he says, to
strike the auto in front or made a
wider turn to the left, which he did.
The road is sandy, and, instead of
making the turn, the car dashed to
the left side Of the road, the wheels
striking the stone wall.
Five men were thrown from the
car, but Simon Erickson, who was
sitting on the rear seat, left hand
side, was thrown against the front
seat and pinned there. They were
taken to the hospital. None of the
mon were seriously injured except
Erickson.
