Judae was Just.-There is an old
New England squire whose knowledge
of the statute law is limited, but who
has decided views rs to common JUS

Miller was brought before him
charged with larceny. 1t appeared
from the evidence that Hank had
rented norsc from a farmer to do
some hauling, and that, during the
period the animal had remained in his
possession, he had fed it from the
owners stock Of grain. although the
agreement was that Hank himself
should supply the feed. FIe was
charged by the farmer, therefore, with
corn.

UNITED STATES WAR COST
Already 45 Per Cent. Of Amount Wiped
Out by Taxation.

The secretary Of treasury in his an
nuai report gives the approximate net
cost Of the war to the United States as
$33 ,455, 100000 Of which $J,445,O00, 900
represents loans to our allies. The re-
mainder of $24,O10,0OO,O0 represents
the net expenditures CT this govern
ment for war costs between April G,
1917 and June 30. 1920.
During this sama period the total re-
trceipts Of the government exclusive Of
the principal Of the public debt was
SlG,Q70 70.0U0,OO0. OF this latter amount
tine estimated miscellaneous receipts
and the tax receipts on peace basis
would have amounted to $5,357. 100000.
The remainder Of S10,703. 100000 is the
estimated net war tax receipts. In
other words, during the three and one
half years under discussion we have
paid by war taxes 10,703, 600, 900 Of our
total war expenditures Of $24,01O,O00,-
900. We have thus paid approximately
Is per cent. of our war expenses. The
unpaid remainder amounts to $13.307,-
0D0, 900. to which must be added our
loans to foreign governments Of 3d.
AS, ,000. .00G, making 4 total net unpaid
war debt of s22,75., .,O00,0 900. The gross
outstanding debt on June 80, 1920 due
to the war and excluding the nonWar
bond issues and. the maturcd and nom
interest bearing debt is divided as fol-
lows. The difference between the ne;
ana gross debt is accounted for chiefly
by the treasury balance OF $360,00U 900
on June 80.

IT is A FACT

AS long ago as February, 1920, The
Right Hon. Austin E. Chamberlain,
Chancellor of the Exchequer of Great
Britain, in an official message to Mr..
Houston, then our Secretary of the
Treasury, suggested a general cancella-
ton of inter- governmental war debts.
Mr.. Houston replied to that message
March 1, 1920, and about seven months
later Presife ent Wilson also wrote letter
to the Brit sh Prime Minister concerning
a similar suggestion. Neither the above
facts nor the text of the letters were
given to the public until five weeks ago
when the ma ior part of the letters writ
ten by Mr.. Houston and President Will
son were printed in the Congressional
Record. No criticism should be made of
the administration for maintaining Sc
crecy in this matter. Its action was
wise and in accordance with the courte-
sy of nations. At the proper time the
whole correspondence was turned over
to the Congressional Committee on For
eign Relations which decided that in JUS
tice to Mr.. Houston, Mr.. Wilson and the
American public, the gist of the stand
taken by this government should be
made known. In reply to MIR. Chamber
lain, Mr.. Houston wrote a long Iettel
from which we take the following, ir

operatives and the weekly pay roll was
about $4,000. On the eleventh of last
May there was walkout from this plant
and it has since then been idle. There
was no dispute as to wages or hours of
labor The reason given for the walkout
was that the company refused to recog-
nize the union. It was the opening of a
fight between the closed and the open
shop. At the present time the windows
of the factories are boarded over, the
machinery is being removed to factories
in other States and the operators are not
only beaten on the main proposition but
their idle summer has proved to be loss
of about $500, 900 in wages. The matter
at issue has affected other plants of the
company in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont.
