NEW ELEMENT IN THE
BRITISH UNEMPLOYMENT
Labor Leaders Charge That Capital
ls Increasing Unemployment to
Lower Wages
(By international News service)

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The unem-
ployment crisis had a new element
of bitterness injected when labor
leaders made the charge that the
nations idleness was artificial.
According to statement of these
leaders, capital is increasing unem-
ployment as means of lowering
wages.
The number of unemployed has
passed the million mark, affecting men
and their families to a total of five
million.
Just what turn events will take if
labor in general share this opinion
is beyond prophesying, but it is
feared that it will give rise to new
uprising of the most radical elements
which may draw as a following all
classes of labor.
Just at this time, Britain's only
hope for a settlement of the question
is the prospect of reopening trade
with Russia, which is expected to
establish an industrial revival this
fall.

FRENCH DEMAND BLOCK
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
French Want Fifty Billion Fund Of Which
They Ask For FifN-five
Percent
THE COUNCIL IS STILL UNDECIDED
tRv International News Service,

PARIS, Jan. 27.-The amount of
indemnity Germany should pay was
not decided at the meeting of the
Supreme Council of the League of
Nations in session yesterday.
Reparations were the subject of
discussion participated in by Lloyd
George, Sir Auckland Geddes, ambas-
sador to America, and representa-
tives of the French, Belgian and Ital-
ian governments.
The new French demands proved
the stumbling block to successful
negotiations of the indemnity agree
ment. France is now demanding an
indemnity of fifty billions, of which
amount they ask fifty-five per cent.
French representatives are stand
ing out for their program, and the
settlement of the question seems as
far from realization as before the
meeting.

WOULD EXTEND COUNTY AID
IN ROAD BUILDING

tBy Democrats Topeka Correspondent
TOPEKA, Jan. 27-The sub-com-
mitteFs of the house and senate.
working on program for road leg
lslation for the next two years, is
understood to have agreed to the in
PRODUCTION of bill that, while ap-
pearing as state aid measure, in
reality will provide nothing more
than extended county aid. The tenta-
tive bill agreed to would increase the
automobile license tax but would
provide that all funds raised be kept
in the counties where collected and
be expended only by the county COM
missioners.
The proposed bill would place the
following license tag taxes on auto
mobiles: Fords, SO; Dodges and sim
liar cars, $12; Bucks and similar
cars, SIS; Packards and similar cars,
$40; trucks from $40 up. according
to capacity.
1t is estimated such a tax would
raise approximately a million and a
quarter dollars more money for road
building. All funds raised could be
used by the county commissioners in
doing work on dirt roads, macadam
or gravel roads or other kinds within
the discretion of the commissioners.
But none of the funds could be sent
to Topeka to be parcelled out by the
state as was proposed by Governor
Allen and as was fought by W. F.
Lambertson when he put his resolu-
ton through the house.
The proposed bill would not inter-
fere with the present road dragging
law or funds. This bill when it is fl
nally whipped into shape will have to
be submitted to the road committees
of the two houses and if given their
approval will be introduced as a COM
mittee bill.
A large number of appropriation
bills were introduced by the ways
and means committee when the sem
ate convened Tuesday. Among them
was a bill appropriating $4,000 as
an emergency fund to buy, coal for
state institutions. Also a bill was put
in appropriating $81 ,486 for 1922
and $92,sOO for 1923 to carry out
provisions of the Smith-Leyer voca-
tional act at the state agricultural
college.
