LIMITED PosTPoNEMENT OF PAY
MENTs BY ALLIES SUGGESTED
BY OTTO KAHN.
BIG LOAN DISCUSSED
BANKER SAYS FAIR AND FINAL
SETTLEMENT SHOULD BE
MADE.

New YOrk.-OttO II. Kahn, banker,
in a letter to Senator Reed SmOOt OF
Utah, member Of the debt refunding
commission, made public by the conf
mittee of American business men, has
outlined plan whereby lie believes
America can consistently aid toward
relieving the European situation and
at the same time meet the sentiment
of the country which seems opposed
to the cancellation of the allied indebt-
edness to the United States.
Mr.. Kahn expressed himself as be-
Ing strongly in favor Of the policy uf
cancelling at least portion of the In
debtedness Of the allied nations.
but If public opinion and Congress
will not at present consent to the re-
linQuishment n our part Of pOr-
ton of the allied debt" the latter con-
tinued, (which REIMBURSEMENT, be It
understood, is suggested only in re-
turn for, and simultaneously with,
measures on the part Of the European
nations to bring about that change of
mental and moral attitude and actual
conditions which is Indispensable II
the world again is to be on an even
keel--then my suggestion would be the
following:
"Of the two and three-Quarter bill
lion dollars or thereabouts, which our
government loaned to the allied ma
tions after the armistice, that portion
ut least was not applied to the settle
ment of war contracts here, or Is off
set by valid counter claim, Is intrin-
sically distinguishnble from the bal
ance of the allied debt to US.
1t should be promptly put In the
way of repayment with n reasonable
rate of interest. For instance, Amer
leu might stipulate interest at the rate
of 3 per cent or 311 per cent, and an
annual sinking fund of per cent, :.
ginning utter, say five years. The re-
funding commission ought to be eni-
powered, according to Its Judgment, to
postpone the beginning of interest
payment likewise for five years.
''As to the remaining seven and q
quarter billion dollars or thereabOuts
there should be no attempt to apply
the same formula to every country.
The refund!as commission should go
thoroughly into the economic and H.
nancial and general situation of all
countries concerned and make fair
and final settlement, subject to the ap-
proval of Congress.
Even upon Americas financially
most potent debtor, Great Britain,
she should not impose the exceedingly
heavy burden Of paying Az per cent
interest from the start and redeemins
the principal within twenty-five years.
l would suggest in the case OF that
country, as an illustration. that there
be paid an annual sinking fund Of
tlree-quarters Of l per cent. Such n
sinking fund, IL invested mt the rate
Of 4 per cent, would eXtinguish the
debt in fortyseven years. In addition
to the sinking fund of three-quarters
of per cent, interest should be
charged on the debt at the rate of, say,
per cent for the first period of eight
year, 21a per cent for the second, 3
per cent for the third, 3k per cent for
the fourth, per cent for the fifth, and
Az per cent for the final seven-yeur
period"

VICTORY FOR HONEST TAX
PAYERS.

There is no question but what the
defeat of the movement to repeal the
present tax equalization law, was u
victory for those people IN Georgia
who sincerely believe ill a fair system
of taxation.
Along this line the following from
the Columbus Ledger is most interest
ing:
while some few honest, faithful
and conscientious solons may be op-
posed to the tax equalization act, it
must be admitted that the fight against
this splendid measure is being waged
mainly by the tax dodger. This be-
ing the case the action Of the Georgia
senate Wednesday in killing that tax
repeal bill must be conceded a victory
for the honest tax payer and the peo-
pie.
Whether or not the friends of the
tax dodger can muster enough
strength in the lower house to make a
showing in this fight, remains to be
seen. 1t is admitted that the tax
equalization act is unpopular. This is
not at all surprising for that word
capitalization does not appeal to the
tax dodger. 1t is regrettable, extreme
ly unfortunate for the state, that there
are so many of this type of citizens in
existence.
"Georgia's tax equalization act has
accomplished much toward placing
the state on a good financial basis.
and, if given time, we believe it will
eventually pull us out OF the mire.'
The only thing against the measure
is that it reaches the tax dodger and
herein is where the fight comes.
Just how fair-minded honest Geor
gians can oppose the present act is
hard for US to understand and we
can't believe that there will be enough
o. this class misled in the fight to up
set this splendid system, thus leaving
the state helpless with no means OF
collecting it taxes.
THE action of the senate while
closed will discourage the fight on the
tax bill in the house, as it should. 1t
ought to lead to complete abandon
n.ent of this selfish campaign to es-
cape Just taxes in Georgia.

WHY THIS REFERENDUM?

The Literary Digest is taking an ex-
tcnsive poll in the United States in
regard to prohibition and the bonus
bill.
This is a nationwide election and
people have been mailed individual
ballots to the number of 10,000,0O0.
OF course, this election cannot be
binding, but it will shed a flood of
light upon the state of public opinion.
The Literary Digest has shown
great enterprise in getting up refer
enda about candidates and public mat
ters. Il is a great publication, but the
fact that The Literary Digest thinks
it necessary to sound public sentiment
about a law which has been passed
by nearly all of the States; which is
now part of the National Constitu-
tion and which has been endorsed by
the Supreme Court of the United
States, is suggestive 1t is an intima-
ton that this periodical does not be-
l;eve people are favorable to the law
or that the law is a good law. The
Digest does not launch a referendum
about the woman suffrage amend
ment, or the amendment authorizing
the election of judges by the people,
or tie fifteenth amendment passed
inst after theswar, says the Savannah
I9rssss 4, :;ss aalsss N n
Then, why does The Literary Digest
single out the prohibition amendment,
unless it is an evidence that the. .peo-
pie behind this movement want the
amendment repealed? So far as the
bonus bill IS concerned, the case is
different. The law has not yet beer

BURIED GOLD.

Twenty years ago a man from Mis-
souri, bought an abandoned farm in
the State of Connecticut, cleared
away the boulders and broke up the
soil with dynamite. In the holes made
by the explosive he planted peach
trees, whose roots found an easy pas
sage through the broen loan. In a
few years his peaches weer making
him a fortune.
Many local farmers who had been
living from hand to mouth and seek
ing vainly to save enough money to
move to a land with a deep and rock
less sail followed his example. Most
OF them prospered. Meanwhile the
agriculturists who had settled in the
Connecticut River Valley were raising
tobacco and getting rich There were
no abandoned farms in that region
Recently news brought the report
OF wild rush to another Connecticut
farm to find gold that some remote
ttler had buried there. The early
settlers of Connecticut had little gold
and there is small reason to believe
that they buried any of it The sons
Of Connection learned early that gold
could buy i-ctOries, and that factor
ia; could make merchandise and ma
chinery which the rest of the United
States was eager to buy The in
genuity developed in wrestling a liv-
;ng from STERN and rockbound soil
was quite equal to devising useful CON
trivances to an extent that alarmed
the Patent Office.
1t remained, however, for Missouri
ian to teach this enterprising people
that gold was to be found in the soil
not gold that had been buried by any
pOineed-but gold put there long be-
fore by Providence in the form of raw
material for peaches and apples and
other valuable farm products. The
argonauts now upturning a Connect
cut abandoned farm are not likely to
discover any hidden wealth But if
they will put down dynamite charges
and raise peaches where they suspect
the existence of gold, they will find
gold in paying quantities.

passed, even by Congress, and its dis!
cussion is fair and legitimate one
But the prohibition law is deeply i'm
I bedded in the statutes and organic
regulations. We do not understand
this effort to unsettIe II. There have
been two or-three referenda started in
Georgia and we have noted that they
mostly porceeded from people who
wanted the law repealed. We all know
that the liquor propaganda is now
very active in this country. Candi.
dates for Congress are running open,
ly or secretly upon the beer and light
wine principle. 1t is probable that the
liquor men will get control of the bal
lots OF The Literary Digest and make
a big showing for the wet" cause.
The Literary Digest claims to be
| strictly non-partisan and impartial"
1t affects to record facts and opin-
ions But the scheme for sending out
ballots in seeming opposition to the
Volstead act is creating comment.
III the current number, July 10th,
The Literary Digest announces that
they have received "the first hundred
thousand" ballots. There has been a
pretty equal division of sentiment in
regard to the bonus. The noes have
il By about 1000, so far.
The early votes are against the con-
ti1uance and enforcement of the pres
ent prohibition law by the proportion
OF nearly two to one. On the other
band, the voters show themselves in
favor Of the prohibition amendment J
Or for some sort of prohibition law, |
by $4,000 majority. The largest vote |
fGvors a modification of the Volstead |
law to permit the use of less alcoholic |
Girnkables. OF course, the cities were |
quick to respond and everybody |
knows that the cities, as a rule, vote
against prohibition 1t is the Volstead |
law that is chiefly under fire.
The return from Georgia shows
tWenty-four votes for enforcement of
the law, twenty-seven for modification
OF the law, and twelve for repeal of
the law. The grand total, so far, in
0tund numbers, is $4,000 for enforce
il 3nt, 10000 for modification, and 23,
