Germany Sends Note Regard :

Berlin, Aug. I'm a supple
mentary note sent to Paris to-
night the German government re-
affirms the position it assumed in its
original payment communication in
regard to payment Of pr;bate debts
contracted with Frenchmen before
the war. The note declares the
German government does not pro-
pose to default in carrying out the
payments, but merely requested a
reduction of the amount to be
paid.
The note calls attention to the
British and Belgian replies and as
sert sthat neither the Versailles
treaty nor the London agreement
provides for punitive measures be-
fore August Is. on which date the
next instalment Of the debt pay
ment is due.
It concludes with the hope that
action will be deferred until the
reparations question is regulated.
The note is accompanied By
statistical data on German fin
ances and economics.

Some Facts About
The Public Printing

Editor Daily Item:
/ respectfully request space In
your valuable paper TO give a few
facts and figures, compiled from
the pubic records. in regard to the
work of the joint committee on
printing.
The committee was established
by law in 1916 as a result Of an in
rvestigation of a special committee
Of both houses, the findings of
which showed that the method of
handling the states printing was
careless and inefficient, and that a.
more efHcient method could be
made to yield large dividends for
a small investment Of expense.
These conclusions of the special
committee were web founded, az;
subsequent Developments have
proved. Gradually the work of
the committee has expanded until
today not only the public printing
is handled by it, but all Office sup
plies and printing for all depart
naentssof the state government are
purchased through the committee
and the total net savings aggre-
gate considerable sum.
The average annual cost of the.
public printing for the six-year
period from 1911 to 1917 was s32,-
901.S1, while fol. the six-year Pc
ROD from 1917 to 1923 the average
annual cost is so far s28,108 with
the permanent code Of laws Of 1922
still TO be paid for. which will
make a general average Of s32,-
1886 a year for the past six years,
though this average will be re-
duced by refunds from the sale Of
the 1922 code. This reduction of
the average yearly cost has been
attained despite the fact that with
IN the past few years the cost of
printing has more than doubled
and the 3def1ation' in this indus
try has not kept pace with that in
other lines. (The price of book pa
per of the grade used for the state
printing is now. s 1-2 to 9 cents
per pound, as against and 5
cents per pound in 1914 and pre-
vious years. At one time it reach
ed Is cents. Wages, which in
creased an. average of about 100
per cent. have not declined at all).

printing for the years 1911 to 1922,

Republican Party
in South Carolina
New Clubs Being Formed
Throughout State by Anti
Tolbert Republicans

COiumbla, Aug. 4.-JOSepn w.
Tolbert, Republican national COM
nitteeman for South Carolina, may
be the active head of the G. @. P.
in South Carolina, and the party
that follows his oft-assailed lead
may be recognized as the Republi-
can party of the state, but the
fact remains that there is a clean"
Republican party in South Carolina,
and all it needs to attain place
Of usefulness in the state, accord
ing to its leaders, is national rec
ognition. This new, white Re-
publican party in South. Carolina is
"a dormant body today. with large
membership, and waiting to take
a place of honor in national poll
tics, state its leaders.
A year ago there was taken an
advanced step for South Carolina
politics, when under the leader
ship of the late David Anderson, of
Marion, and with the support. Of
the late C. O. Miller, of Washing
ton, secretary of the national Re-
publican committee, new Re-
publican party was launched. And
it was we'll launched too. There
are today thirty Republican clubs
in South Carolina, in as n.any diff
ferent communities, and these clubs
are banded together in a state
party, of which the late, Mr.. An
derson was president, when Mr..
Anderson died and when national
Republican forces chose to recog-
nne the old negro Republican
party, the activities Of the new
party rested, and today it stands
at attention, waiting the word Of
national leaders that will give it
recognition as state force.
According to leaders Of this
party in Columbia there are today
thousands Of good South Carolin-
ians. ready to join this party. and
hundreds have already joined clubs
that are its units. In Union, in
Sumter, in Charleston, in Green
vile, in Spartanburg and in other
parts of the state there are Re
publican clubs, making up the
frame work of the new G. o. p. for
South Carolina.
In this connection it became
known here today that George B.
Lockwood, secretary Of the national
Republican committee, will be ia
Columbia during September. -for q
meeting with the state executive
committee Of the Republican party,
the Telbert faction, when plans for
the party's future will be made.
Whether any changes in personnel
or policies or practices are to be
made is not known.
A leader of the new Republiean
party insthe state stated here today
that resolutions adopted by the
Sumter Republican club recently.
repudiating the Tolbert methods in
the recognized party, were en1ors-
ed by the new Republicans OF
the entire state. zss:s-S

Harding Making
Best of Bad Situation

Washington, Aug. 4.-The major
purpose of administration inter-
vention in the rail strike was &C
complished, White House spokes-
man declared today, when both
raj, executives and shop crafts un-
ion leaders agreed to consider au-
thority Of the railroad labor board
as supreme in future controver-
sizes.
This aspect of President Hard
ing's proposals for settlement OF
the strike is viewed by the admin
istration as paramount. The fact
that the executives rejected the
presidents further proposal that
to end the strike. strikers be taken
back by the carriers without i'm
pairment of their seniority status
was said to be secondary in the
White House view, since the sue
cess or non-success of govern
mental mediation efforts in indus
trial strife could be considered a
Ssndll IIldllSI VIM iAAoSNNA
tenance of the integrity of legally
established agencies Of the govern
ment itself.
This outline of the administra-
tons attitude was made available
today after the cabinet session
which was occupied for more than
two hours with consideration OF
industrial difficulties in coal min
ing and transportation. II
strengthened the belief that fer
the moment no further government
move affecting the conduct OF rail-
roads was to be expected.
A rumor that president Hard
ing's proposals on seniority as
originally presented to T. Dewitt
Cuyler. chairman of the Railroad
Executives association. differed in
form from the draft rejected by
the meeting of the association met
with denial at the White House.

ECONOMICS AND HUMANITY

When Lincoln declared that this
nation could not exist half slave
and half free he was stating a
great economic principle as well as
one Of humanity. although senti-
mentaIists stress the latter idea
rather than the former. Economic
principles do not sound idealistic
as motives for guiding the human
race forward, and for many years
they have been regarded as mostly
dry theory for specialists to labor
over.
Recently there has been change
in the popular attitudegtoward eco
nonics, and growing thirst for
knowledge OF this subject has been.
noted in every quarter: It is a
good tendency. The spread of such
knowledge will hasten the solution
Of many apparently unrelated prob
leaas. A better understanding of
fundamental economic facts on the
part of capital and labor both will.
lessen the breach between those
two groups and demonstrate their
true community of interest. A
keener understanding of economic
principles on the part of Ameri-
can farmers has already been Of
great benefif to agriculture and to
the whole nation.
A number Of prominent corpora
tons have established special de-
paHments for the study of eco.
nomies, passing along the results
of this investigation to employees
and public with notable benefit to
all concerned.
The Dust should be pretty well
shaken from, the books on this
subject, for it has been discovered
that common sense and economic
principles work together exception
ally well.
