Agriculture Wallace. The secretary
has conceded that there is justice in
the demands of northwestern pro-
ducers He is not prepared, however,
to put into effect all the changes asked
by the Minnesota legislative commit
tee and the grain inspection services
of Minnesota and the Dakotas. In
the judgment Of those who hcve fol-
lowed the matter it is indicated there
may be some allowance for dockage
so tho producers may obtain full value
on the basis of actual grade, the
dockage to be permitted on separa-
bio materials which may be found in
the wheat.
For the protection of newspapers
against possible libel suits growing out
of publication Of the war departments
draft evadcr" lists, Representative

privileged and is expected to result in
general publication of the lists by
newspapers.
The United States government has
assumed full responsibility for it's
share in the settlement of the world

ton of Lloyd George to participate
in the allied conferences, but an
nounced that in the future this coun-
try will be represented unofficially at
the council of ambassadors in Paris
and on the reparations committee
Except for the league of nations,
which is ignored, the status of the
United States in regard to the Eu-
ropcan situation will be virtually the
same as it was during the Wilson ad-
ministration. Colonel George Harvey,
ambassador to Great Britain, will rep
resent the United States at the meet
ings of the supreme council of am
bassadors until Ambassador Hcrrick
reaches Paris. Roland w. Boyden will
be observer at meetings of the rcpara-
tions commission.
The budget bill has been passed by
the house with several changes adopt

IN adjunct Of the treasury department,
an Independent bureau.

ton, preceded the vote. The bill was
sent to the senate and will be referred
to the judiciary committee, if which
Senator Nelson is chairman.
Alexia Evstaphiaoich Goozochia, al
so known as Alexis Georgian, Russian
born Minneapolis radical whose depor-
tation has been ordered by the immi-
grafton bureau as an undesirable alien,
has taken another step to delay his

pealed to the United States supreme

In the opinion of President Harding
disarmament is logical subject for

A tax of 1 per cent on the net worth
of individuals has been suggested by
Representative Isaac Bacharach of
New Jersey, a republican member of
the house ways and means committee,
as possible substitute for present OBJ
jectionable taxes. Mr.. Bacharach,
an advocate of general sales, or turn
over tax, said he contemplated intro
ducing such bill as an alternative
for the sales tax in case that fails to
receive the approval Of the ways and
means Committee. He declared he be-
lieved that a 1 per cent tax on the net
worth of individuals would raise at
least 81 100000 a year.
