WILL DO THEM GOOD TO PAY UP

Herbert Hoover gives it as his
judgment that so long as those allied
nations that owe us many billions go
on spending prodigious sums for arm
ament there should be no thought in
this country of cancelling their debts
to the United States. If there were
any reason that America should can
eel these debts it would be answer
ed effectually by the fact that the
debtor nations are spending, as Mr..
Hoover points out, enough money in
war preparations to wipe out prin-
cipal and interest of their financial
obligations to this country. Perhaps
if this country were to strongly in
sist upon payment or arrangement
for payment of what is due in inter-
est and of definite measures for TAX
care of principal in good time, it
" uld have as much influence in
lnging about reduction of arm
nhent as any agreement to that end
&Ild have. In any event, there has
been offered no reasons why Europe
should not pay US what she owes |
There was every pretense of good |
faith by those borrowers when they |
borrowed and there certaiply was no
want of good faith by the lender
when those vast sums were cent.
There should be no want of good
faith in the matter of paying up.
Anything that will assist to force
European countries to get war out Of
mind will be a good thing for Eur
ope 'and there can be no question
that necessity to pay us will have
powerful effect in that direction.-

LEGISLATIVE NEWS

= -
The bill lprobititing the marriage
of a girl under sixteen years of age
|! was reported favorably by the Senate
Committee on Judiciary, and like
action wa staken by the Public Health
Committee of the Senate in regard
to the bill requiring medical exam
ination of every man applying for a
marriage license and physicians
statement that he is free from vener-
ial disease.
Two drastic "eugenic marriage"
bills were introduced in the House
during the past week. That submit
ted by Rep. Dunn of Detroit provides
in part: "No application for license
shall be received by the county clerk
unless it is accompanied with certi-
ficate from a reputable physician, of
the same county in which such appli-
cation is made, that he has made
physical and mental examination of
both parties to the proposed marriage
and has found them capable of con-
tracing marriage" Rep. Coleman of
Calhoun, besides demanding ply

require a certificate from the State
Board of Health showing that no
court in this state has reported such
persons mentally unsound.
One of the most sensational de-
velopments of the week in the Senate
was the introduction of a resolution
by Sen. Henry of Calhoun, demand
ing report from the committee that
has had the construction of the State
Office building in charge as to just |
what has been done with the 81 $780, |
900 which has previously been appro-
priated for this building.
In 1917 the Legislature appropri-
ated $800,000 to build this building.
Then a special session of the Legis-
lature in 1919 appropriated $950,000
additional for its completion. Sen.
Henry's resolution is occasioned by
the proposal of an additional appro-
priation of $1,140,000 which it is
stated is necessary to complete the
structure. The resolution calling for
this report was adopted.
A resolution favoring no tariff on
