years old and the other four. They
had been left insurance amounting to
about $1,000.
The crime to which Bolt pleaded
guilty, although saying 81 did not do
It," was an attempt to kill the two
boys so that he could obtain the in
surance money, first by attempting to
starve them, then by direct assault.
The resourcefulness Of the older boy
blocked the starvation plan. Locked in
a room with his brother, he found some
cotton seed and they subsisted on this
for week. When the starvation pro-
gram failed, Bolt brutally beat the
boys.

SUPERVISORS TO FIX ROAD. SCHOOL
AND COUNTY TAXES.

To The Tax Payer:--The most i'm
portant step in liking your taxes will
be taken at the next meeting of the
Board OF Supervisors, beginning
Monday November 7th. 1921: Then
the Board Will Fix The Annual Tax
RaEes. for The County, for the School
Districts. and for The Road Dis
tricts. In some counties, the taxes
imposed by the Supervisors, last
year, we're six times as great as the
State tax, and most of the State tax
was returned TO the counties for the
public schools and Confederate pen
sions. Some counties received more
from the State than the total State
tax collected from all the taxpayers
in the county.
The development OF our public
school system and the construction
OF good roads are desired by all; yet
these are largely responsible for the
increase made in taxes in recent
years. You may verify this for
yourself by comparing your tax re-
ceipt for last year with that for ten
years ago.
The Supervisors then determine
whether these expenses will be con-
tinued. increased or curtailed for
the present fiscal year. Their decis-
ion, then determines whether your
taxes will be more or less than last
year.

The purpose of this club is means

students bringing them in closer
touch with each other and for social
entertainment.
We we're very GLAD to see most OF
the old members of the club back n
school this year, also to welcome
eight new members into the club.
After the bows had gathered togeth-
or and census taken, we found only
one absent that should have been
present and that vacant chair was
left by Jessie Kittrell. All the boys
would be glad to see Jessie return.

club for real banquet which will be
held at the Bell Cafe in Stacksville,
This is the first time the club has
ventured out to this extent. but we
feel that>it will not only be a success
but will be helpful to our club.
The most important matter now
confronting the club is the selection
of two girls from Greene County 10

brace all the non-regulatory govern,

dustry, trade and transportation as
distinguished from agriculture, was
recommended by the conference of in.
dustrial and business leaders which
met here last week at the request OF
Secretary Hoover to consider the re.
organization Of the department
In letter to the secretary conferees
declared that all statistical activities
of the government relating to produc
ton, stocks, consumption and distribu
tion and movement on the basic com
modities at least excluding agriculture
should be concentrated in the depart
nent of commerce.
The basic industries would volun
tarily aid in the collection of these

that they desired to cooperate with
the representatives OF other industries
and trade associations in further study
of the details of the department.

counsel filing motion to quash the in
dictment.
No date for argument Of the numer-

dinand Geiger, of Milwaukee, presid-
ing in the absence of Judge Anderson,
who is i'll. Counsel for the govern
ment as the defense, however. expect
ed no further action until fall.
To Attack Indictment
Besides the motions to quash. the
defense served notice that further at
tack on the indictment would be made
later if necessary by demurrers to the
indictment and in addition. the min
ers annuonced that they would offer
a plea in bar against their prosecution.
This action of the miners was said
by the counsel to indicate that they
would seek to justify any of their acts
which the government charges linked
into the alleged conspiracy to violate
the Sherman antitrust act. Out
standing among the questions raised
by the motions to quash, filed separ-
ately by the miners and operators,
was the contention that the antitrust
act was suspended by the Lever fuel
control act passed in 1917.

The state department has been kept

that the German proposals were un-

That view had been taken by France
and Belgium from the first.
The United States apparently has
not yet given up hope that final
settlement will be reached by discus.
sion. thus avoiding co-ercive measures
which. in the view here, would be
likely to be attended by economic
confusion. Officials will not say, how
ever, whether the United States will
consent to sound out the allied gov
ernments with regard to further Ger.

WASHINGTON. May SIT develop
ed today that the copy of the Ameri-

the state department last night, con-
tanned a phrase which had been de-
leted from the original as sent to
Germany. AS the note was despatch
ed to Berlin the second sentence read: {:
In reply Ito the German memoran-
dunn this government states that is
finds itself unable to reach the conclu-
sion that the proposals afford basis
for discussion. acceptable to the al
lied governments" In the copy made
public there was added to this sent
ence the phrase, land that these pro-
posals cannot be entertained"
Correct Copy
The copy subsequently was correct
ed and Under Secretary Fletcher
called at the White House early today
to assure the president that the phrase
quoted above had not been included
in the communication as dispatched.
1t was explained that the phrase was
a repetition in sense of what the
note said otherwise, and consequently
was deleted as unnecessary. In send.
ing the reply last night, Secretary
Hughes, apparently acted somewhat
Unexpectedly. President Harding was
at the theater during the evening and
Under Secretary Fletcher called there

Richmond. Members of the Spanish

INDIANA ONE OF -FOUR
STATES WHICH PERMIT
N0N-CITIzENS TO VOTE
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, May "A political
situation which has existed in Indiana
ever since that state adopted its con-
stitution, over a century ago, which
permits an alien resident to vote in
all elections as soon as he has taken
out his first citizenship papers, was
referred to disparaginsly by Repre-
sentative Siegel, of New York, in re-
cent debate on the immigration bill
in the house.
The fact that Indiana is one of the
four states of the union which grants
the right of suffrage to non-citizens
was mentioned by Siegel in his reply
to objections which had been raised
by Representative Sanders of Indiana
to notifications of restrictions agains.
immigration. Siegel intimated that a
state which permitted unnaturalized
citizens to vote should at least main
tain silence when proposals for the
limitations of immigration were dis
cussed.
Other states which grant suffrage
to aliens who have merely made dec,
citizens are Texas, Missouri and Ar
kansas.
Rep. Siegel represents congres
sional district in the city of New
York, which has, perhaps, more for
eign born citizens than any other dis
trict in the country.
Needs Amendment
Commenting on the statement made
by Rep. Siegel, one of the members
of the Indiana delegation has called
attention to the fact than an amend
ment to the constitution of Indiana
is required before the right of suf
frage is denied to foreign born resi-
dents of the state who have not com
pletely qualified for citizenship.
There was a motive for granting
the right to vote to aliens who haG
merly taken out their first papers
when the constitution of Indiana was
drafted" rema rked the Indiana con
gressman. ''At that time a greater
part Of Indiana was marshland, and
| to secure settlers inducements had tc
| be offered. Apparently, the right Of
suffrage to non-citizens had its ap
! peal, for many aliens came to the
! state in it's early history, and they
| were greatly responsible for the con
version of practically all the SWAMP
| lands into productive farms"
However," he continued, "the con
dition which existed when the consti
tutional right of suffrage was granted
to aliens who were not citizens nc
longer exists. That provision of the
| constitution should be changed. In
cidentally; no harm would be done te
| make some other changes in the basic
| law of Indiana"
1t is probable that Indiana will sooI
be one of three states which permit:
on-citizens to vote. 1t Is stated tha
| Texas will soon require full citizen
ship as a qualification for the ballot
