The most notable decision made by the
business mems convention in Munich
was to put their credit at the disposition
OF the State to meet obligations to the
Allies. But the State budget must carry
the interest which this foreign loan in
wolves.
Tie business men did lot propose a
scheme for meeting the growing deficit

ton This is possible wedge against

floating debt

nent Nationalist metal manufacturer.
who is opposed to all State control, left
the impression that his group proposes
to render the reparn+io ions lrmands OF
the treaty Of Versailles ineffective
through leaving the State bankrupt and
with drawing industry from all govern
ment intervention. Opinions concerning
Injuries varied. he convention agreed
to insist on the abolition OF the luxury
taxes now covering q vide range Of OBJ
jects used for home ror SUMPTION. But
the convention was divided Concerning
restrictions on lmporta.ions. notably on
tobacco and coffee.
The position of Chancellor Wirth has
been somewhat strengthened through
the French approving the withdrawal
of the occupation sanctions OH the right
bank of the Rhine. Ills original APP
pointment was intended to secure this
concession from tine Allies. But Wirth's
position is particularly weak. 1t is
known that DR.. Gustav Stresemann told
Foreign Secretary Rosen that he would
not accept a post in the Cabinet if DR..
Wirth remained.
Chancellor Wirth also feels himself
let down by his Socialist friends be-
cause they conducted negotiations with
the Industrial party tending toward
coalition cabinet without informing him
of it. Wirth complained to President
Ebert that this move was unconstitu-
tional. The Chancellor seems to have
the support of the French and DR..
Stresemann that of the Industrial party
and the British. II is reported that the
British Embassy in Berlin made known
It's approval of DIR. Stresemann for q
future Cabinet. This corresponds with
the British position in May, during the
last Cabinet crisis, when the British
Ambassador assured DIR. Stresemann Of
the support OF the Lloyd George Cabi-
net.
Allied diplomatic circles here rightly
regard an active coalition party as es-
sent.al to reparations and German
financial recovery. 1t is known that
the formation of new coaliti cabinet
will begin in Prussia

GERMANY COMPLETES
PEACE RATIFICATION
Only Communists in Reichstag
Oppose Treaty.

speciol Cable to Tun NEW YORK HERALD.

New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin, Sept. 30.
The Reichstag to-day approved ratif-
cation of the peace treaty with the
United States. Only the Communists
opposed it. although the Nationalists alb
stained from voting. The decision was
reached after the treaty had been APP
proved by the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee yesterday The Nationalist on the
committee expressed their disapproval OF
the terms Of the treaty. and some showed
an inclination TO take the treaty as a
pretext to withdraw from the discussion
because Of the presumption OF the Ger
man guilt for the war set forth In the
Treaty Of Versailles and implied in the
American treaty. The Nauonalists, bow
ever, finally decided to abstain from OPP
position.
The Communists used the treaty to
open their usual TRADE against capital
ism. The Communist Stoecker asserted
that the treaty with America had been
dictated by the capitalistic interests, the
same as was Germany's submarine war
fare and the Treaty Of Versailles. Hhe
declared that he opposed signing the
treaty just as he had opposed signing
tne versailles treaty WneH the Notc
was called up in the Reichstag the Ma
t:onalists voted for the treaty's ratifica-
ton.
The taxation bill is now the centre of
political conflict Despite the decision
OF the Socialists to form a coalition with
the Industrial party at Goerlitz, the Ma
jority Socialists seem less inclined to ac-
ccpt the conditions proposed by the In
dustrial party. The Socialists now insist
that the industrial mortgage and foreign
loan should not free the big industries
from turning over part of their shares
TO the Government as a direct tax. The
Industrial party will not enter a Cabi-
net making this demand.
The ratification by the German Reichs-
tag of the treaty OF peace with the
United States completes the legislative
process necessary to ratification on the
part of Germany. The Reichsrat, or
upper chamber Of the German Parlia-
mept ratified the treaty on September z.

communities of the British Empire. for
which the mind of Mr.. Lloyd George
was responsible has finally brought to-
gether two sides to the long drawn out
controversy on terms which it is con-
sidered here involve the surrender by
neither side.
The conference is expected to be UNI
precedented in the history of Great
Britain, IL not of Europe. One result
of 1t will be the cancellation of all hopes
of Mr.. Lloyd George attending the
Washington armament conference, be-
cause the country win look TO his d.
plomacy to steer the empire through the
waters OF the complicated undertaking.
Although no names havt been formally
announced, it is understood that the Sim
Fein delegates to the conference will be
Arthur Griffith, founder Of the Sim
Fem Michael Collins, Finance Minister !;
Robert C. Barton, who has been lead
Ing figure in the negotiations; canon J..
Duggan, Sim Fein member of Parlia-
ment and George Gavin Duffy, who was
accepted as representative Of the Sim
Fein abroad. These men were to have
been the delegates TO the conference at
Ipvrness. which was called off by Pre-
mier Lloyd George.
There Is little speculation as yet re-
gardipg the overtures that will be made.
although the possibility is advanced that
the Sim F'ieners may ask for the res
toration Of Ireland as a kingdom under
the British crown, for which growing
sentiment among important factions OF
the Irish is declared to have been max
ing itself felt.
According to despatch to the Daily
Mail from Dublin, belief is expressed
there that the Earl OF Granard (who
married Miss Mills of New York; has
offered the Sim Fem delegates to the
conference his home in London during
their stay here.
The British delegates have not been
announced. but it is presumed that in
addition TO Mr.. Lloyd George. who will
preside. the others likely will be the Lord
Chancellor, Lord Birkenhead; Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland, Sir Hamar Green
wood Secretary for War, Sir Laming
Neutrality-suspicious.; Colonial Secretary
Churchill and Home Secretary Short.

PARIS, Sept. 30.--The United States
sideration of measures TO reduce the
total cost of all the armies in German
occupied territory to 240,000.000 gold
marks per annum, it is stated in Amer
lean circles here. The question is to be
discussed at the Forthcoming financial
conference in Brussels at which the
United States will be represented by
Gen. Henry IT. Allen. commander OF the
American Army OF Occupation, and
Roland w. Boyden, American represen.
tatiye with the Preparations Commits
sion.
Another question to come before the
Brussels conference win be the methods
by which the United States is to be paid
for the accumulated cost of the upkeep
of her army on the Rhine This prob
lem is giving the allied experts concern,
inasmuch as Germany contends that her
first indemnity payment covered fully
her obligations to date for the main
tenance of all the armies of occupation.
Germany bases her contention upon the
treaty or versailles, which stipulates
that the cost of the armies shall have
priority over all other charges and
should have been taken out of the first
indemnity instalment.
The United States has expended
nearly 100000, 600 for the maintenance
OF her forces OF occupation. Should the
Allies accept the German position, as
American circles here regard as prob
able. the United States would have to
collect the cost from the allied Govern
mcnts, among whom the first indemnity
payment is expected to be divided.
1t had been unoffcially suggested
that America accept German indemnity
bonds, Glass A, in payment for the
arinys upseep. These bonds mature in
forty years and pay per cent. interest.
Financial experts Of the Allies contend
that the acceptance of these bonds by
the American Government would give
them value which they do not possess
to-day.
The suggestion regarding the bonds is
not before the Washington authorities
as yet, but il may be definitely pro-
posed as the result OF the Brussels con-
ference.

RAIL RATES DEPENDENT
ON PUBLIC, SAYS BYRAM
Head of St. Paul System Sees
No Early Reduction.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway is not contemplating a move
for another reduction in the wages of its
employees and the correction of the sit
Iation produced by high transportation
rates and wages will have to be left
to time and public opinion. according
10 II. e. Byram, president OF the sys-
tenn.
"a good many demands for lower
rates are being made, but many reduc-
lions already have been made" said
Mr.. Byrari. Extensive rate reductions,
however are impossible on the present
level OF costs if the railroads are 20 be
kept fit to do the country's business.
just now they have ample capacity. but
OF course traffic is off.
I'VE railroad men think that wages
and rates are both too high for the
commercial health of the country. If a
majority of the citizens are convinced
that the men are entitled to have all
they are now getting, they will doubt
less continue to get it until some definite
change in the surrounding conditions has
taken place. but in that case the public
must not expect to get lower rates. II
the public should decide not to pay the
existing rates any longer. they will en-
force their will upon beth rates and
wages
Mr. Byram reported that large crops
and an early movement OF grain TO mar
ket have produced an Improvement In
business in. the West. As o result OF
improved net earnings and restricted
purchasing policy, the ST. Paul road is
now in a very comfortable cash posi-
ton. said Mr.. Byram. Vouchers for ma
terials and supplies have been brought
down to current needs and the company
has no ovcrhaneing debts.

4 the Senate to-day entered into a
unanimous consent agreement to vote
on the German, Austrian and Hun
garian peace treaties October Ia, but
only after the prohibition forces had
wrung from Republican leaders a
K pledge that there will be no adjourn
ment of the present session of Con-
gress until the anti-beer. bill is voted on.
Beer and peace crashed violently in
the days proceedings. For a time ii
I seemed probable that the radical drys
would block the entire legislative pro-
7gramme, but parleys during the after
noon brought them to terms.
Soon after the Senate convened to-
day Senator Lodge proposed a unani-
( nous consent agreement to vote on
! October IA on the treaties. Senator
Sterling IS. d., dry leader, promptly
objected He gave notice that he would
oppose any agreement that did not in
clude provision for voting on the
much disputed beer bill. Wet Senator's
with equal promptness clearly demon
strated they would consent to no agree
ment that did provide for a vote on
the beer bill. With the situation thus
deadlocked Senator Lodge withdrew
his proposal temporarily.
At the close of the session he offered
It again. Senator Sterling made brief
. statement to the effect that he had been
n conference with Republican leaders
and had received an ironclad assurance
f1lat no adjournment would be attempted
until the beer bill was disposed of. Sem
ator Reed tMo), who opposed the beer
bill gave notice that he was not party
90 any such understanding. and although
he interposcd no objectionIto the agree
nnent to vote on the treaties. made it
plain that the vets were determined to
continue their filibuster whenever the
beer bill Is brought up again.
The unanimous consent agreement
contains several provisos. One provides
chat whenever debate on the treaties
Bags the tax revision bill may be taken
mp at any time. but no attempt was
made to fix a time for voting on the
tax bill. Another proviso Is that the old
agreement TO vote on October 10 on the
Borah bill for free Panama Canal tolls
for American coastwise shipping shall
not be abrogated.
III To-day's action forestalls possibility
.4f Democratic fillbuster against the
treaties and virtually assures ratiflca-
ton before the international conference
on the limitation of armament begins
on November IL. At the same time it
gives the opposition ample time to pre-
sent their case against the treaties.
h, Democrats are perfccting reservations
Which they win offer to the ratification,
and they expect to muster not less than
twenty votes against the treaties Never
tfeIess the treaties will have a margin
of PROBABLY ten votes on ratification.

A Correction

The Times was in error last
week when il stated Ova Faulk
ner was sent up for life for the
killing of Roy Mum. 1t should
have stated five years as that
was the limit Of time. We are
informed the first trial resulted
in life sentence and the second
for only five years. The Times
regrets the confusion of time
and hastens 10 make correction
of our wrong statement.
Ova is young man and comes
of one of the best families in the
county. 1t is thus hoped he will
serve his time out and come
home and make the character of
citizen of the county his ances-
try made.

No Money for Powell Farmers

Recently while in Louisville
the editor called on the Federal
Land Bank to see if there was an
opening for the organization of a
Loan Association in the county.
The officers of the bank we're
very courteous but frankly told
us that there were no funds to
loan now. In fact they said their
bank had application for SO, 000,.
600 and had only one. half this
amount In sight to ,oan. They,
SAID other farming districts we're
suffering much worse than Pow
ell county, and that We would
have TO wait until congress vot-
ed more money for their benefit.
From the statements TIL e
made the institution in other dis.
trlcts with the farmer is indeed
very deplorable.

Why Such Difference

A traveller for one of the lars.
est stove manufacturers in the
country was in our Office brief
time few days ago The editor
took occasion to inquire how the
prices were on stoves. He said
the stove men had, so far, made
no drop in their prices an d
admitted they were never higher.
He further admitted that all la
Dor and expenses in producing
the stoves had declined consider;
able. He was taking fall orders
for stoves at the price.
In The presence of these condl-
tions, we often wonder why the
stubborn labor organizations hold
out in the face of present coDdi-
tions. In this labor is wrong.
But how about the stove makers,
the railroads, the coal operators
and scores of other money suck
ers who do nothing but hold up
the public because they are le-
galized to do so.
The above condition breeds and
m a k e Socialists, Bolshevists,
strikers, law breakers and prop
erty destroyers. The Times con-
fesses there is no immediate re-
lief in sight.
