NAMING OF u. S.
ENVOY TO ERIN
HOTLY OPPOSED

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Indirect
recognition of THE Republic of
Ireland" was knocked out in the
house today on point of order.
During consideration of the Dip
lomatic appropriation bill, Repre-
sentative Mason, republican, of H.
linois, member of the foreign af-
fairs committee, offered an amend
ment providing a salary of 10000
for minister to Ireland. Instantly
half a dozen representatives were
on their feet.
Chairman Rogers, of the sub
committee of appropriations in
charge of the bill challenged the
right of the house to include such
an amendment, on the ground that
it was without authority of law and
that there had been no executive
recognition of Ireland.
Before the point of order was
sustained by Representative Town
er. republican of Iowa, presiding,
Mr.. Mason declared the question
out of policy, with respect to Ire
land should be determined by con-
gress on its merits and not on a
parliamentary point. AS the appro-
priation, if used, would not be
available until July, Representa-
tive Connally, democrat of Texas,
also a member of the foreign af-
fairs committee, asked if Mason
had any indication or assurance
that Mr.. Harding would designate
minister.
Il have no promises, but I have
hopes Mr.. Mason replied. We
all know, however, that Mr.. Wilson
is not inclined to favor recogni-
ton"

Representatives from communi-
ties where the labor vote predoml-
mates have declared that it would
be politically inexpedient to favor a
flat income tax without offsets
since it would throw a tax burden
squarely upon the laboring class.
It is probable that the income tax
law will come up for consideration
before the labor program does and
that the legislative requests of la
Dor will be considered in the light
of labor's willingness to assist the
state in its maintenance.
Gasoline Tax Knotty Problem.
The question of a gasoline tax
still continues to be a matter over
which a long debate is likely. There
will be an effort to continue the
present two-cent tax on intra-state
business, while an exemption is

Father John V. Cooney, chaplain
at st. Joseph sanatorium. who died
Thursday night at the hospital at
the age of 80 years. 1t was in a
room in the hospital ward OF the
sanatorium that the venerable
Catholic prelate received reporter
last night, after some persuasion
on his part with one of the good
sisters at the hospital that the
archbishop would not consider his
visit an intrusion and that despite
his slight indispositiOn and fatigue
he would undoubtedly entertain
the representative of the Fourth
Estate, an interview having been
arranged by the Rev. Father A. M
Mandalari, pastor of the Immacu-
late Conception church.
The sister, with resigned air,
led the way through the hospital
corridor to the archbshop's room,
where with welcoming smile and d
cheerful rebuke at the persistence
of the press that respects not even
a tired and somewhat sick prelate
of the church. Archbishop DAGGER
motioned his visitor to D. chair
while the sister who had guided
him there and others who had
gathered, regarded the scene
doubtfully.

Isn't it a wonderful land" the
archbishop declared, with its

Father DAGGER the archbishop
came to New Mexico from Lincoln,
Neb., and was stationed at the mis-
sion at Pena Blanca. from which
point he served many little com
munities and missions within a
radius of many miles.
THAT was a wonderful life," he
said, smiling reminiscently. Il
rode a horse then, often for many
miles at a stretch. We struggled
hard, built little schools and
churches-and sometimes fought
with the Indians"
And of these experiences of the
early days, his reverence the arch
bishop, still retains his love for the
early mode of travel. The long
horseback rides, he declared, still
lure him. but he did not say wheth-

INDEMNITY FROM 2 TO 6

Paris, Jan. % (by the Associated
Press. "A solution of the prob
lem of German reparations was
tentatively reached late tonight by
the committee of experts appointed
yesterday by the allied supreme
council Confidence was expresse d
that the council would approve tho

The proposed scheme provides
for the payment of annuities on a
sliding scale of from 1000, 10000 ,000

period of probably forty-two years

creditors will be paid according to
Germany's increaS ng prosperity.
The sudden ironing out of diff
fercences came after two days of
a continually widening breach that
threatened to break up the confei-
ence, it being virtually suspended
except for private conferences. Of
ficial French circles give the Bel
gian delegation credit for the S'lc-

French viewpoints.
The project in its final form,
when approved by the supreme
council, will be submitted 20 Ger

The committee OF experts was In
session at midnight considering the
question of shortening the period
of the payments to thirty years, for
which the treaty of Versailles spe-
officially provided, But it is expect
ed that a period OF forty-two years
finally will be adopted~ as the

There is a strong sentiment, how
ever, in favor of the immediate re-
peal of the gasoline tax and the
substitution of a license tax on
filling stations. 1t is possible that
the gasoline tax will be carefully
considered the coming week.
The senate judiciary committee
has decided to report out favoraby

JOY OF CHRISTMAS
Season Proves That Men and
Women Are Friendly Beings.
Desire to Make Presents and to Be
Cheerful Shows People Wish
to Be Conqenial.

n NE Of the finest things about
" Christmas is its trueness, the
joyous reality of it. At Christmas
time no exhortation Is necessary to
make it go; Christmas never has to
be made a success" as a parade or
a pageant.
Christmas Is in a certain sense an
institution; it comes at a certain date
each year; it always has it's Christmas
rec, it's stocking, its poultry dinner
:olored with cranberries. But it is
one of those institutions that has nev-
n been institutionized; it exists in
he nature of man.
Christmas proves to us that men,
women and children are at heart
riendly beings. The spontaneity of
christmas giving and Christmas cheer
)roves what people really want to be
sood friends.
Wars go on at other times; men
md women quarrel among themselves
lver property or over other men and
women artificial requirements are i'm
posed that incite to greed dishonesty
and bitterness. But at Christmas time
here comes over the broad surface of
our western civilization, which is pref
ty much like other civilizations, a
great reversion to type. Man wants
most to be happy, he wants to dance
and sing and to make other persons
happy. At other times than Christ
mas something seems to be wrong, and
man reasons that someone else Is to
blame.
At Christmas time there is gen
eral forgetting Of everything but be-
ing natural. Christmas is the great
annual armistice Of that portion of
humanity that has come to be segre-
gated under the name Of Christendom.
Christmas is the finest thing that
has come out of Christianity, because
it is the friendliest thing. Men and
women are not naturally and health
lily meddlers; the best part Of their
lives and the most of their happiness
does not come from the tyranny they
exercise or the repressions they set
up or the reformatory cruelties they
infiict on others.
At Christmas time men and women
forget to be anything but children
again.
Perhaps some day there will be a
sort of Christmas every day of the
year. Perhaps men and women will
be able to forget more often and more
completely, and thereby live more
completely, the elimination of bitter
ness and artificial antagonisms being
both the cause and the effect Of this
happy state.
Perhaps one of the lessons Of Christ
mas Is that we have more to forget
than to oft News.

Only One Third of Its Potential Food
Producing Area at Present Un-
der Cultivation.

Only One-third of the worlds pOten-
tial food-producing area is under cul-
tivation, and the crops raised on that
third, thanks to agricultural science,
Increase yearly.
The United States has only some 4OO
millions { its 935 million acres of
arabic land under cultivation, yet it
raises, among other things, one-siXth
of the worlds corn supply. The farms
of America raise less that half as
much wheat to the acre as those OF
England yet even with her present
standard size could raise enough corn
to meet the needs Of Europe on the
land that is now lying unused.
Russia produces only ten bushels to
the acre of corn, but when science
has access to her untold millions of
acres and brings their capacity up TO
the standard of our own farms, then
she alone will be able to supply the
worlds cereal needs, with the excep-
tion Of maize and rice.
Less than third of the worlds pop
ulation gets what we should call three
good meals a day, yet the working ca
pabilities of the, from our viewpoint,
underfed continents of Asia and At
rica will compare very well with either
Europe or America. The average
meat consumption of the world is 80

and the American eat nearer 1SO
