Denied
for Blotcky Return

Sacramento, Cal, March l5.--Gov-
crnor w. D. Stephens refused yester-
day to grant the request OF Nebraska
authorities for the extradition of A.
G. Blotcky charged with embezzle-
ment of approximately $4,000 from
the American State bank at Lin
colh, Neb., by making alleged false
statements concerning the credit OF
the Lincoln Public Markets COM
pany.
Extradition was denied on the
showing made by Blotcky that he
was not in the county in which the
alleged act was committed at the
time and further that the act did not
constitute a public offense under the
laws of Nebraska. Officials of the
governors office also stated there
was some evidence of lack of good
faith on the part Of the complain
ants. N

NewOrganizaion
Is Launched by
Eamon De Valera
Republican Association Will
Fight TO Secure Information.
al Recognition of Irish
Republic.

Dublin. March ls.-Eamon de
Valera issued a manifesto this eve-
ming launching a new Irish organ
ization to be called the "Cumann ma
Poblachta,' or republican associa-
ton, and asked financial and moral
support.
According to the manifesto, the
new organization takes its stand on
the proclamation OF the Irish re-
public in Easter week. 1915, and its
ratification in the declaration OF in
dependence OF January, 1919. Mr.. De
Valera signed the manifesto on be-
half OF the republican members Of
the Dali Eireann. and their standing
committee.
The main objects of the organiza-
tion, as stated in the manifesto. are
to secure international recognition
of the Irish republic, to maintain
the undiminished sovereign authority
of the dali and repudiate the pro-
posed agreement with Great Britain
as humiliating to the nation and de-
structive to its status and rightful
claims. The new organization will
probably act as the republican party
machine. since the old Sim Fein Or
ganization, the Ard Fheis. will not
be available for that purpose Tor
either the republicans or the free
state advocates, owing to the recent
agreement reached at meeting OF
that organization.
Debate Resumed.
London, March l5.-Debate on
the Irish free-state treaty was re-
sumed in the house of lords today.
There had been persistent reports
that the die hards' would seek to
destroy the treaty by amendments.
but the tone of today's debate gave
little indication OF such tactics.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, one OF
the leaders of the "die hards,' was
speaker.
To reject the Irish treaty bill, de-
clared Lord Lansdowne, would be
to extinguish the only bright ray of
hope now Illuminating melancholy
and depressing horizon. His speech
was taken as an indication that the
bill eventually would be ratified.

treaty, IN the senate today. ahan.

unanimous consent agreement 10 linn
IL debate and 10 a final vote on Fri
day. March "a.
The agreement, which was hailed
by administration leaders as a GER
tain indication that ratification is as
sured, was proposed on the senate
floor after a series OF conferences
among the various senate elements
and was accepted virtually without
debate.
II provides that no further reser-
yations or amendments shall be voted
OH until next Tuesday, that speeches
on the treaty shall be limited to one
hour and those on reservations 10
80 minutes each, beginning on We'd
nesday, and that final vote shall be
taken without debate as soon as the
senate convenes on the following
Friday.
Amendment Defeated.
Negotiations TO bring the rati6ca-
ton fight to all end began after the
senate had refused, for the third
time, TO amend the treaty so
outside powers would be called into
consultation when any Pacific con-
troversy touches their interests. An
amendment ior that purpose, in a
form differing slightly from the two
voted down yesterday, was presented
by Senator Hittman, democrat, Ne
vada, and defeated, 2S to so. with the
division OF strength virtually COIN
Gliding with party lines.
Little running debate developed
over the amendment or the treaty
generally, although late in the day,
Senator Spencer, republican, Mis-
souri,, treaty supporter, stirred up
a cross-iire of discussion by assail-
ing the "No alliance" reservation
OF the foreign relations committee.
He declared the treaty made IAN
alliance for conference" and that the
constituted ridiculous
absurdity.'
Urges Ratification.
In the course of the day ratiiica-
ton was urged by Senator Ransdell,
democrat, Louisiana; a charge OF
propaganda in favor OF the treaty
was made by Senator Pittman, and
an attack ON "Irish-American in
fluences against the four-power
pact" was made by Senator Williams,
democrat, Mississippi.
Meantime, also, two new reserva-
tons and one more amendment were !
offered for later consideration. One
Of the reservations was put in by
Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia, and embodied the language of
reservation which had been presented
by Senator Brandegee, republican,
Connecticut, in the foreign relations
but abandoned by him
after conference with President
The other reservation was by Sen
ator Shields, democrat, Tennessee
and would declare the treaty meant
no interference in foreign quarreis.
The amendment offered by Senator
democrat, Arkansas,
would pledge the four powers
against secret treaties or understand
ngs.
1t was Senator Brandegee who
aid the unanimous consent agree
nent before the senate, with state
nent that he had been prompted to
prepare it because several demo-
cratic snators had come TO him with |
he suggestions.

High Taxes
by
Citizens UNIFORMED OH Social
and Economic Questions,
Which, Like Topsy, " Just
Crowcd.'
Improvements Are Costly
BY PAUL GREER.

Ii there Is any great danger con-
fronting democracy, il lies in the
astonishing lack OF information
among the people on social and
economic questions. One OF the
troubles with taxation is that few
citizens have paid any attention 10
the subjeCl--taxes have been a good
deal like Topsy. who ''just growed."
During the period OF inflated
prosperity, when everyone was max
ing good money. no one cared much
what taxes were. The people voted
bond issues, demanded costly public
improvements. ceased 10 guard
agains, public or private waste. and
paid the bill with scarcely murmur.
Today. the situation is different. The
reople still want every modern serv-
ice from their government, the most
up-to.date schools, roads and court
houses-and kick like bay steer
az paying for them.
Newspapers Negligent.
The opportunity and the need for
public enlightenment has found
good many newspapers negligent OF
their duty. With due fear and
trembling over trampling political
toes. il must be said that in general
republican papers have ignored the
problem and remained silent, while
democratic editors have emitted
tremendous sounds, adding con-
fusion, but little OF a helpful, con-
struetiye nature. There is no reason
why any kind of partisan should
be afraid TO discuss the problem OF
public revenue sanely.
The Kcarney Hub has been one
paper that has done this. The
Schuyler Sun is another that with
facts and figures has been thrash
ing the grain from the chaii. What
+. L. Carroll. the Coliax county
editor, has done affords a shining
example to every organ OF informa-
ton in Nebraska.
Ten-Year Figures.
Going to the courthouse he dug
out the figures on taxation ior 10

been steady increase i'll all sub
divisions of the government. RE
