'.If the taxpayers league could sue
coed in maintaining interest for the
entire year instead of just at tax pay
ing time, even if it could not reduce
the costs of government now one cent,
it would perform a much needed SER
vice." says the Havre Promoter. "One
of the greatest troubles is that most
people only become interested in high
taxes when the time comes to pay them
and again only take an active interest in
government when the time comes to
elect public officials and on election
day. What is needed is for the real
SUBSTANTIAL citizen particularly to take
an interest in public affairs $50 days
per year. If they do there is no ques-
ton but what government will be far
more efficiently administered.
IF taxpayers league is to succeed"
says the Helena Record Herald, 1T
will have to get down to brass tacks.
Resolutions and protesting committees
won't do it. A league that will notify
the legislature that it intends to over
see all financial legislation, and will
put it's representatives into the legis-
latiye halls to meet the numerous lob
bies that fight to get the taxpayers
money can do the work With a corps
of intelligent men at every legislature
to pass upon all bills intended to take
money out Of the treasury, or to build
up government structures, with imme-
date reports to the league and the
press upon all bills intended to take
money out of the treasury, or to build
up government structures, with immedi
ste reports to the league and the press
upon all such bills, considered altogeth-
er from the standpoint of their demand
for money and their return to the pub
lie in service or other values, would
soon put government on a business
footing"

advise with other nations over the
steps to be taken to prevent warlike
aggression on a member nation Of
the league, we were morally bound
to support with force of arms the
league decision, even if we were
not legally bound to do 50. Of
course, it is plain, that no treaty
could legally bind us to 60 to war
inasmuch as our constitution pro-
vides that war can only be declared
by joint resolution of congress,
signed by the president. But if it be
true, that we would be morally
bound to stand by the unanimous
decision of the League of Nations
that military force must be used to
check aggression against the terri
torial integrity Of a member ma
tion,-and we believe it is true
then we are equally bound to stand
by the decision of the majority of
the four power entente, if that in
wolves the use Of force to protect
the territorial integrity of any one
Of the four in the Pacific ocean,
for we agree to fully and frankly
consult with each other to arrive
at an understanding.
There is, however, one difference
between the two obligations. as we
see it. In the league covenant OBJ
legation we could only be bound
morally to take action through mill
tary measures with the consent of
our own representative in the
council, for it provides that such
decisions must be unanimous, and
the United States is one Of the five
powers that are always to be repre-
sented in that council in accord
ance with the provisions of the
league covenant. But in the four
power entente we would appear to
be morally bound by the decision
of the majority. A majority of
four is three, SO that in order to
incur a moral obligtion to sustain
any decision, not pleasing to us all,
the other members Of the Pacific
entente would have to be against
the United States.
However, this whole discussion
of moral obligations incurred is of
little importance in a practical
way. It is extremely unlikely that
the other three powers would ever
favor using military force in a
cause which did not have the ap-
proval Of the United States. And,
if they did, they must know in ad-
vance that it would not be approx
ed by congress and that without
such approval, this country could
not possibly go to war. The same
remark also applies to alleged
moral obligations the nation would
assume, If it accepted article ten
of the League Of Nations covenant.
This moral obligation bug-a-boo
was nothing but a scarecrow devils
ed by Senator Lodge and his asso-
ciates to brighten timid voters with
malicious partisan end. The readi-
ness with which they now ignore
the scarecrow, they erected them
selves, proves that they know its
false character and that it was
really stuffed with straw.

ARTICLE 2 VS.. ARTICLE 10

/ 4
Reed of Missouri RACES over the
language Of article 2 in the four
power Pacific entente treaty. AS
he broke with his party and joined
the republicans in opposing the
League of Nations at no little
political peril to himself in order
to oppose the covenant of the
League of Nations, he cannot be ex-
pected to calmly swallow the very
similar provisions of this treaty.
So unpopular was the attitude OF
Senator Reed with his home con-
stituents that democratic lcgisla-
ture by majority vote requested
Senator Reed to resign. This he
wisely refused to do. When at the
last election the state of Missouri
went republican, this democratic
senator declared it was vindica-
ton of his conduct in voting with
the republicans on the League of
Nations covenant. To help turn
his state over to the opposition
party is hardly a good way for a
party man to vindicate himself,
but Senator Reed seemed to get
some comfort out of the republican
victory at the polls in his home
state. With this kind of a record
behind him, it is not likely that
Senator Reed likes the dish of crow
presented to him on platter by
his republican associates in the
senate and he serves notice on them
that while they may be willing in
pinch to accept that kind of diet,
he will have none Of it.
President Wilson in his campaign
for the league before he fell, sick
man with a stroke of paralysis, in
the midst Of his campaign for rati-
fication of his treaty, repeatedly
said that article 10 in the covenant
of the League of Nations was the
heart Of the whole document.
Senator Lodge, and his followers,
directed their heaviest guns against
article 10. 1t is interesting to COM
pare article 10 Of the covenant of
the League Of Nations with article
Q of the four power entente treaty.
Printed, side by side, their similar
ity becomes more striking. Article
in the new treaty which Senator
Lodge will present to the senate
for ratification, says:
eff the said rights are threaten
ed by the aggressive action of any
other power, the high contracting
parties (the United States, Japan,
Great Britain and France) shall
communicate with one another fully
and frankly in order to arrive at
an understanding as to the most
C1ll(l-Iit IiGdouL co ~ DS l@hCh
jointly or separately, to meet the
exigencies of the particular situa-
ton"
Compare the foregoing with the
famous article 10 of the covenant
Of the league in the Versailles
treaty which reads, as follows:
"The members of the league I'M
dertakc to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing polit-
ical independence of all members
of the league. In case of any such
aggression or in case Of any threat
or danger Of such aggression the
council shall advise upon the means
by which this obligation shall be
fulfilled"
In the senate debate the repub-
lican senator's laid great stress on
the alleged fact that the League Of
Nations covenant in article 10 laid
a moral obligation on the United
States to use force against nation
disturbing by war the territory Of
a member of the leagee. They said
that when we agreed'to meet and

 But it is not to- be thought that decorations alone make up the beau ties of the tree. Hundreds of gifts have been gathered about it already, and of these many have been hung from the green branches and peek from behind the lights and decora- tions in as many promises of happi- ness for the children to whom they will be given Before Saturday ar rives hundreds of other gifts will have been collected around the tree, for Santa Claus has an especial feeling of good will for the Adams

 SCENARIO CONTEST CLOSES

With only nine days left before the closing of the scenario contest being held by The Republican, motion pie ture stories are being received from entrants daily, with every indication of the six prizes.
 The contest closes at D. ms, De- cember 30, and manuscripts received after that time cannot be considered. Few valley scenario writers are eX- pected to delay too long. however and it is certain the field of contest ants will be a large one.
 Entrants in the contest apparently are finding little difficulty in writing their scenarios, judging from the quality of those coming in. The ser ies of articles by H. H. Van Loan on how to write scenarios proved of great benefit, and additional interest in the contest has been aroused by announcement of Van Loans arrival here this morning for a three day visit.
 Six prizes will be given for the best scenarios entered in the contest, but more important will be the start given the winners in a new profes- sion. Manuscripts submitted must be typewriter neatly, on one side of the sheet only.
 All scenarios accompanied by the right amount of postage will be re- turned to the writers after the judg- ing is completed, unless they happen to be the winning ones All property

 Reiteration was made that no gen. eral bestowal of amnesty to the war time offenders is to be expected and the added statement was made by a high official that members of the In dustrial Workers of the World were not regarded as political prisoners.
 Recommendations to the president on the question of freedom for war law offenders will be completed by Thursday, Attorney General Daugh- erty said. A report, he added. would be prepared for the president con- taining the names of those who, in the opinion of the justice department, should receive executive clemency to- gether with the departments view on such courses of action as are sug- gested.
 He would also determine by Thursday. he added, whether a recommendation should go to the White House before Christmas, in the case of Eugene V. Debs.
 The possibility that some of the foreign born offenders might be freed upon conditions of their return ing to their native lands was 1ndi- cated by MT. Daugherty.
 Mir Daugherty said he favored bringing to the bar of justice Tor disposition the 15,000 or 14,OOO espionage cases which have been pending since the war.
