WASHINGTON, May 12.-President
Harding has been assured by republi-
can leaders in the senate that reports
of senatorial dissatisfaction over
American re-entrance into the councils
of the allies in accordance with the
plans of Woodrow Wilson have been
greatly exaggerated and that no con-
siderable number of republicans are
disturbed over it.
Senators Lodge and Curtis called at

Is Belief.

County Trustee Burns and his corps
of deputies are working overtime now,
compiling the list of delinquent tax
payers, and disposing of the enormous
amount of routine work that accumu-
lated during the rush of the last few
days in April
Mr.. Burns stated this morning that
he is now beginning to see the light
Of day" through his work. and is conf
dent that the delinquent list this year
will be mo larger than the average. de.
spite the cry of hard times. The pay
ment OF taxes has been splendid, TAX
ing existing conditions into consider
alton. ..E
While the collections at the Office Of
the trustee was not probably as large
as in the years gone by, never before
have the banks of the county been of
such assistance in the collection of
taxes Each bank in the county mail
ed in long lists of taxpayers in their
respective communities, showing that
certain customers had deposited the
amount of their taxes in that bank,
subject to- the ,county's order. This
has been of great assistance to the
trustee, and has saved considerable
confusion in the office of the trus tee,
although it was necessary to write re-
ceipts here for each taxpayer who paid
through his bank, but it saved the tax
payers trip to town and at the same
time left his money in the bank o. his
choosing.
The collection for the year was con
siderably reduced because of the non
payment of the railroad taxes, sum
estimated between $4,000 and $50 900
being involved in litigation, the rail,
roads having enjoined the public Utili-
ties commission from certifying to the
assessment of railroad property in this
county. II Is expected that the sli-
preme court will act upon this matter
at an early date, and the railroads be
forced to pay.
