THINGS WILL RIGHT THEM

For 81 you can buy five times as
much crude rubber as you could in

life these days.
In England, the great rubber kings
are urging the owners of rubber plan
tations to cut their output in two, to
boost the price and make profits.
That is unsound policy. Under pro-

CONSERVATION

| Competition has forced men at the
head of nearly every business to take

of waste. Treatises are written show

There are plans for the conservation

servation of the finished article, and
for its more economical merchandis-
ing and the better utilization Of all the
elements that enter into production
and distribution.
But what I should like to see would
be a better utilization Of the human
factor in the investment.
I am convinced that many man
could get twice as much productive
energy out of his own personality as
he now does if he knew how.

1t is a mistake to begin the day with

Then I believe a man should believe

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Premier Lloyd

Five-P payment Reparations
Plan Fauored in Germany
Yearly Instaln,ents agreed On
as a Basis for Further Ne

BERLIN, Jan. 26.-Official announce
ment was made to-day after a confer
ence between DR.. Walter Simons, Min
lstertof Foreign Affairs, and DR.. Wirth,
Minister. of Finance, with Chancellor
Fehrenbaek Tuesday that Germany has
agreed to the plan of five yearly install
ments' for the payment of reparations
as the basis Of further negotiations
with the Allies. Germany, however. de.
sires that the negotiations fixing the
amount Of the instalments shall be
temporarily postponed for discussion

tiens' and appFaising Germanys capac-
The, official communication on the
subject says Germany is aware of the
difficulties of fixing the total indemnity
,by May /, as stipulated in the peace
treaty, and therefore is willing to
waive insistence and to accept the five
lnstalments plan, but that she expects
discussion of the total amount Of the
indemnity to take place during, and
not after, the. five years. This view,
says the communication, has been ad-
mitted to be justified by the French
Ambassador in conference, with DR..
Simons. ~.
The communication concludes by
saying that unless Allied concessions
as specified by the German delegation
to the Brussels conference are granted
the German government will be unable
to assume responsibility for acceptance
of the fiye-year plan.

His choice is not entirely satisfac-

by press comment in Canada and Aus

signs of independence, which spell
trouble for even Churchill if he at

dencies. With this fact in mind it is
clear that Lloyd George picked him to
handle the Near East and African prob

1t is announced that one Of Church

Mesopotamia, which means that this
step will be taken in the hope Of re-

military establishment in Mesopctamia
will be greatly reduced because of the
cost, which has aroused the opposition
of even some of the government sup
porters, and because Of the present

served to cause friction between the

practical, are going to be carried out.
The grand jury didn't recommend the
recall of all or any of the commission

guilty of malfeasance, misfeasance, or

report the more we are impressed
with its verbal camouflage-the more
it appears to be a studied attempt to
prod the public in it's sorest spot, high
taxes, and arouse it to that state Of
frenzy that clamors for summary and
indiscriminate action. In short, the
grand jury report is a subtle invita-
ton for the public to do what the
grand jury after hearing all the evil
dence lacked either the courage or con-
viction to do. =: ~ s.
For instance, after enumerating
several road machinery purchases the
jury says: "From these and other
transactions of like nature, it be-
comes evident that the machinery pur
chased was worth but small part of
the sum paid for it by the county or
that the county disposed of it at a
small fraction of it's value in order to
buy new machinery.
"Such procedure tends strongly to
discredit the business sagacity of our
county commissioners, in taking the
former view of these transactions, and
to question their integrity in accept
ing the latter Interpretation"
What was the grand jury called
for? 1t was called for the purpose,
was it not, of informing the people of
Benton county whether or not their
public officials were lacking in integ-
rity. There is a vital difference be-
tween questioning mans business
sagacity and his integrity. In this
case it is the one vital difference.
That the commissioners lack business
sagacity is no crime nor does it make
them amenable tao either the penal
or recall laws of the state. If they
are lacking in integrity they have
been guilty of crime and should be
punished. Who's to be the Judge?
Who, if not the grand jury? The
jury had the evidence before it, the
public hasn't. Can the average voter
be expected to know whether the ma
chinery was worth what the county
paid for it or was worn out and of

GRAND JURY REPORT
- HE grand jury report is a doc
ument which grows upon one.

- HE grand jury report is a doc
ument which grows upon one.
The more it is read and studied the
more the reader becomes impressed
with it's unfairness, because it is un-
fair, manifestly so, alike to the COM
missioners and the general public.
Some day it may be known just ex-
actly what political motives were back
of the demand for the calling of the
grand jury and to what extent politi-
cal motives influenced the delibera-
tions and final conclusions of the jury.
This paper is firmly of the conviction
that the old county seat question was
primarily responsible for the condi-
tions which precipitated the calling of
a grand jury nor is it willing to admit
that the Jurors deliberations and find
ings were entirely free from county
seat politics. - :.
Be that as it may, when the grand
jury was called the public had the
right to expect that it would inquire
fully into the official acts of the &C
cused men and having so inquired that
it's findings and recommendations
would be clear, concise and definite.
On the other hand, each of the ac-
cused had the right to stand or fall
by his own record, to be held strictly
responsible for his own acts but not
held accountable for the crimes or
omissions of another: The accused
men were either guilty or they were
not guilty. The jury sat for three
weeks and heard the testimony of 102
witnesses. IF the evidence showed
that any Of the public officials had
been guilty Of malfeasance, misfeas-
I ance or other crimes the jury should
have returned indictments against all
/ who were guilty. If the evidence was
1 not sufficient to warrant such indict-
ments, the jury should have said so
! in plain unmistakable English.
This is exactly what the grand jury
did not do, and the more we read the
