Miners Have Fund Great Enough to

Declares.

Washington, JAM 27.-"The miners
have created a fund great enough to
fight the United States Harry N.
Taylor, vice president of the Central
Coke and Coal Company of Kansas
City, declared Thursday before the
senate manufactures committee con-
sidering the Calder bill to regulate the
coal industry.
Taylor scored the check-off system
of prices in operation at the mines, by
which dues of the labor unions are
taken out of the pay of the miners.
Miners are not working regular
ly," Taylor said. 'One miner car
throw many more out of work by alb
senteeism. Miners are slaves to their
labor organizations.
Fines are laid against the miners
by their organization for every VIC
lation of the union's rules. This
money has accumulated to a point be-
yond conception" Taylor declared.

Washington. Jan. 25.--Wantcd:
Two men at $4,000 year each for
four years. Applicants can fit into
soft berths vacant on the directorate
of the War Finance Corporation.
Easy work, short hours, self-run-
ming offices; upholstered comforts
when at work, unlimited mechanical
helps and other office Injuries, be
sides big pay,
Secretary OF the Treasury Houston
said today after long search: The
jobs are attractive, but available men
can't be found"
A half dozen eligibles have been
presented to the President by Secre-
tary Houston. but apparently none
want the jobs, Democrats and Re-
publicans have declined them. Big
financiers rendered the places merely
laugh at the salary attached.
The President, it is said. will fill
the places as soon as Secretary Hous
ton can find availables.

There Were Plenty of Buyers
On Hand.

Bates countys first market sales
day for the year 1921 was held on the
Norflcet Il Ream lot corner of West
Dakota and Havannah street Satur-

ed the sale and the bidding was brisk
from the start and the articles offered
brought surprisingly good prices

tioneer and Carl Norfleet acted as
clerk All OF the articles listed were
sold.
Before the sale was concluded lis,

No Increase for the House.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The house Of
representatives voted today against
increasing its membership, now 43s.
This action was taken by adoption
of an amendment to the reapportion-
ment bill, which sought to increase
the total to 483. Under the amend
ment, twelve seats would be shifted
from eleven to eight states.
The vote to keep the membership
at 43s was 1913 for to " against.
An amendment by Representative
Jones, Democrat, of Texas, to reduce
the membership to- 3o7 was voted
down overwhelmingly.
The amendment means that the
following states will lose seats two
years hence: Missouri two, and In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Ne
braska, Rhode Island and Vermont
one each. California will gain three.
Michigan two, Ohio two, and Con-
necticut, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Texas and Washington one each.

BUT CAN GERMANY PAY?
Vanderlip Doubts Ex-Foes Ability 70
Meet Huge Indemnity.

New York, Jan. 20.-"Germany Will
never be able to pay the war indcm-
nifty fixed by the allies Frank A.
| Vanderlip, international authority on
economics, declared in an interview
tonight.
This statement may be regarded as
particularly significant in view of the
fact that several noted economists re-
Gently have stated the world indus
trial situation hinges largely on the
German rcparations question. Ber-
nard NJ. Baruch predicted that if an
amount were fixed within Germany 5

would respond instantly as the result
of the reopening OF the world mar
kets and unemployment would be
quickly wiped out
Vanderlip said he believed the Ger
mans would be able to negotiate the
annuities up to 3 billion marks a year,
hut that figure would mark their ca
pacity.
III the allies should insist on Ger
many attempting to carry out the ar
engagements made in Paris today, the
German children in the future would
not thank Herbert Hoover for keep
ing them from starving to death
now.
There seems to be no question that
! ,2o billion marks is beyond Ger
many's capacity to pay. Vanderlip
continued. They might be able to
meet their obligations up to {, billion
marks a year, but it is hardly possible
they could pay the 3 billion marks an
nuity provided for i'll the final period
OF thirty-one years, and | doubt Il
they could avoid defaulting in the 4
billion marks period.
The total wealth OF Germany be-
fore the war" according to the last
available figures, was around 20 bill
lion dollars, which is nominally about
80 billion marks. Since then not only
has that country's industrial life been
totally disorganized, but it has lost
valuable territories.

prohibitive indemnity upon the al

countries. Germany, naturally. will
have to pay in goods and that means
her former enemies will be forced in
to competition with low-priced manu-
featured articles. Germany would be
so poor herself that she could not be
considered as market for the goods
of other countries.
Another angle for the allies them
selves to consider is that in making
UP their budgets they will count upon
the German reparations as source
of revenue. Should Germany default
at any time, their financial plans
would be greatly disarranged."
Vanderlip predicted that Germany
would refuse to accept the agreement
at the meetings scheduled to be held
in London February g. \ In that
event, he said. the allies probably
would have to undertake the task of
revising their figures to level COM
patible with Germany's ability to pay.

Palmer sent his recommendation to
the White house late Saturday to be
passed upon by thepresident.
Presidential clemency for Debs and
his release in the near future is pre-
dictcd.
Appeal for a pardon for Debs have
been numerous and the stronger sort
of pressure has been brought to bear
upon the attorney general to secure
Debs' release. { Statements that Debs

REPUBLICANS LOAD DOWN
PAYROLL OF LEGISLATURE
After Preaching Economy, They Add
Many Extra Clerks to List.

Jefferson City, Jan. 26.-After pro-
claiming loudly that they stood tor
economy at the beginning of the SEES
sion, the Republican majority of the
house of representatives has placed
I73 clerks on the payroll or O. more
than a bipartisan, commission two
years ago said were needed to carry
on the work
The padding of the payroll resulted
late Tuesday in the stormiest caucus
that has yet been held by the ma
joiity members of the house.
Some of the members Indignantly
demanded to know in what manner
the list of employees was permitted &c
grow to I73 men, or 20 more than
was allowed under resolution adopt
ed by the Republicans at the begin
ming of the session. One member
said the extra clerks were a part OF
the temporary organization and they
continued to work after the perma-
nent organization was perfected
They were doing the work, this
member said, and they felt they would
be taken care of in some manner. .
Some criticism was directed at the
chief clerk, but apparently there was
no foundation for it. His friends
made it plain that he had attached
none to the official payroll except up
on the orders of the members.
The chief cerk, however, found it
necessary to employ five persons to
do the work of some of the inefficient
clerks employed by the members.
An effort to increase the number OF
clerks under the resolution to 40 was
defeated by a decisive vote. The
question of where the payroll should
be slashed was then discussed and the
members who were ready to volun-
tarily give up their clerks, were coli
spicuous by their absence.
When it was discovered that the
doorkeeper had FL employees on his
force, it was decided that there should
be some trimming in that direction.
Most of the doorkeeper's force are
Negroes. Some of the Negro attend
ants sit in the cloak room and help
Republican members with their coats.
A Negro maid sits in one of the
rooms designated for the speaker.
For many years the Republicans OF
Missouri have complained about the
employment of clerks in the legisla-
ture under Democratic rule. Two
years ago the Republicans were IN
control of the house and q bipartisan
committee was named to make .
thorough investigation of the clerical
force problem
The investigation resulted in the IN

Il While Arnold appeared in the role
loi supporting the general purpose OF

tons which he thought could b.

proved
After raising the question OF the
bill failing to provide for the alternat-
ing OF the tickets on the ballot, Arm
the ballot for straight voting would
be conducive to ignorant voting and
not intelligent voting.

to be appointed by the speaker.
One member declared after the cau-
Gus that he had never dreamed that so
many clerks had been placed on the
payroll. Among those on the official
roll are the wives OF more than 80
members, which is about one-third CT
the majority membership. All of the
members agreed that it would be the
proper thing for one or more of the
departments to slice their payroll, but
it is very doubtful if any of the men,
