According to Mr.. Mortensen. any

suggest that certain soft drinks are
refreshing and stimulating drinks or

guilty of a crime and subject to

The State Board OF Medical Ex-

|0UTUNES BRITISH POSITION
ION PREPARATIONS QUESTION
Says Germany Must Pay to Last Earth
ing, But That Basis Of Settlement Must Be
a,s,5 Feasible gssgm

London, Feb. 18.-CBy The Associat-
ed Press-Premier Lloyd George de-
clared in tho house of commons today
that ho stood by his pledge that Ger
many must pay to the limit of her
capacity.
The prime minister was discussing
the German reparat tions question in
answering Horatio Bottomley's ar
raignmcnt of the governments policy
of alleged inepttude in regard to fore
ing Germany to comply with the rep
arations demands, the provision for
the trial of war criminals and other
, portions of the peace treaty.
The allies, continued the premier,
had taken rhe best advice available
and had summoned tho ablest men to
be found. upon whose advice the pres
cnt demands had heen made, and the
allies were carrying out tho peace
terms to the utmost of their power.
Germany. he pointed out, had de-
livered bonds to the allies, but the
value of these bonds depended upon
the value of the German, security at
the present moment. Raw materials
also had been delivered. added the
premier. and the question was what
was their value.
The Germans argued, continued MIR.
Lloyd George, that IL the allies TOOK
the value of the raw material at the
amounted to more than the 10000. 600
marks named in tho peace treaty. The
allies contended that the sum was less
than this. and the matter was ono
that the reparations commission was
examining. Even according TO the al
lied accounting. he said. il was a
matter OF hundreds of millions of
pounds sterling which had been do
| livcred.
Mr.. Lloyd George laid stress upon
The dlfficu1tv of cNacfinv iudpfn-
nifty in another country and securing
| its payment here.
| You can easily collect in Germany
| any indemnity you impose. within rca-
sonablc limits added tho premier.
| but how are you going to transfer
| il here? There is much loose think
| Ing on this subject.
"Indemnities can be paid in goods OF
service, and that Is why We intro
| duced an export tax on Gcrmany's out,
going goods. That means that every.
thing she sends out in goods Is gold
for she gets something for which
there is n gold equivalent
The premier said Mr.. Bottomley hat
talked of sending someone to German,
to collect tho indemnity. but whoever
went would have to collect II In papc,
marks. Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out
and 1t would take ship load to pay
his faro home.
Il don't want, In replying to mem.
bcrs who use cxtravaEant language
| to be put In n position of appearing
to defend the action of Germany" tho
premier continued. :becauso when !

A real oil excitement has again de-

except to get rich on someono clso'b

Special to The chieftain:


Denver, Feb. 1S.-A Joker in the
medical bill, which would prevent the
advertisement of any patent medi-
cine, or certain soft drinks as a re-
freshing drink. or as n human system
builder. has been discovered by Rep
reSentstive Mortcnsen, of Pueblo. and
he will fight for the elimination of
that Joker or the killing of the bill.
Section twenty of tho bill has a
peculiar sentence. 1t says:
''rhe offense of practicing the heal
ing art without n license is hereby
created. Any person shall be deemed
guilty OF practicing the healing art
without a license. who, II he is not
expressly exempted by this act. shall
do any one or more of the following
acts"
The wording of the section seeks to
create an offense instead OF define an
offeNse. In other words. things that
arc not. offensive arc so created by
this act Tho joker appears in the
fifth exemption clause which reads as
follows:

II have had II in mind to call n

before my court and discuss that very
question"
make that you think would be q
benefit to tho people
Something should bc done to reduce
tho cost ot impanelins jurics and fry
ing cases with Jurios. 1t costs moro to
try these cases than Ia involved in the
litigation. For instance, recently We
drew a Jury of one hundred men. of
which number thirteen were excused
and ciEhty-soven reported for duty
every morning and three juries were
drawn. ono for my court and one for
each OF tho other two courts whenever
we were having Jury trials. When the
men were not drawn they returned to
their homes, but the entire number
drew their salary during that entire
torn. In addition wo had tho costs OF
tho two extra judges. of the two ch-
ira stcuoEraphers and the other In
cidental costs that go with court
cases. When the time for court ses-
amount of money involved aud tho
amount it cost to settle that litigation
and | find that II costs over twice as
much to hold the court as was dc
tormined In the trials. The city of
Denver could afford to pay tho
amounts sued for by tho plaintiffs and
discontinue that part Of tho COUNTY
courts work In SO far as actual OK
p.nscs are concerned. Certainly there
should be some way to avoid this un-
fairness to tho taxpayers.
