FARE TAKEN TO
SUPREME COURT
Davenport Seeks Court Rmflng On
Whether or Net Ordinance
Is Legal.

The city OF Davenport is appeal
ing TO the sapheme court from the
ruling OF Judge A j. House Of
Aaqueketa. Iowa. who. on Jan. q,
overruled the eity's motion to set
aside temporary and modified in
functions issued by the court and
which prevent the city from en-
forcing its scent fare ordinance.
City Attorney L. A. Screechheld
has filed formal notice OF appeal IN
the Scott county district court and
copies OF the notice have been
served on Lane & Waterman, at
tOrneys for the Tri-City Railway
company, and Thuenen q Thuenen,
Charles erik and William Cham
berlain, who appeared for the
plaintiffs in the original case,
The traction company denies
that the city has a 5-cent fare
clause in its franchise, claiming
that this clause was repealed by
resolution in 1919, when the. city
gave the company permission 70
raise the fare from ) cents and
collect a 7-cent fare up until June
/. 1920.
The supreme court has set the
case for the May term.
In the meantime, a hearing is
pending before Judge House in

ing through bonds would be to de-
! preciate the value Of all Liberty
bonds and to make the American
dollar worth Just so much less be-
cause of the added burden of debt
imposed on Americas resources.
To the argument that the bond
market can readily absorb the new
issue, officials say there was no
doubt Of it, but that if new govern
ment bonds are issued, just so
much money which would have
been available to private business
as a. stimulus to industrial revival
viii be cut off and normally de-
layed.
The business interests OF the
country hold this view in the main
and are opposing the bonus toot /
and nail and particularly a bond
issue. Ever since direct taxes have
been mentioned on the other hand,
the avalanche of protests have beel
growing in volume Senators and
members of the house are literally
swamped with letters and tele-
grams opposing any more taxes.
The political effect of further taxa
ton would be widely distributed.
Members of congress know this and
realize that the damaging effects
Of bond issue would not be so
readily discernible. There might
be argument about whether the
bond issue caused a slump but
with so many economic factors in
the situation, the exact responsible
ity would not be so easy to locate.
And besides, the full effect of a
bond issue might not be felt until
after the congressional elections
because only $500 100000 would be
enough to cause a ripple in the in
vestment market in the next six
months-at least SO the politicians
reason.
Some Taxes Inevitable.
The big question is whether to
bridge an emergency of this
autumn a big borrowing will be
undertaken, or whether the ques-
ton will be faced squarely by new
taxes, some of which are inevitable
anyway if only to pay the interest
on a bond issue of a billion and a
half dollars.
The Democrats originally favor
ed a bond issue but seeing the
tangle in which the Republicans
are getting themselves over the
bonus they are receding from that
view and quietly Withdrawing from
the controversy. They will prob
ably offer no alternative plan ex-
cept some unavoidable one which
looks good on paper-that's the
usual minority tactics no matter
whether the label is Republican or
Democratic-but in their hearts
they viii be glad they are not in
power this year to meet the re-
sponsibility of a soldier bonus.

London, Feb. 13.-(By the ASSo-
ciated Press 1.-The situation in
Ireland, which had seemed to be
improving under the apparent eff
forts of Arthur Griffith and Michael
Collins, to obtain the release of the
kidnapped Ulster men, has become
acutely dangerous as the result of
an affray at Clones on Saturday.
| The Times Dublin correspondent
says dismay followed the news of
| the clash, in which four special
Ulster constables were killed, eight
wounded and six made prisoners,
and the leader Of the Sim Feiners,
Matthew Fitzpatrick, shot dead.
The provisional government was
perturbed, as the affair dashed the
high hopes based on its amnesty
proclamation and the British deci-
sion to release all prisoners held
for offenses committed in England
from Irish political motives prior
to the truce in Ireland.
Developments are awaited with
| the utmost anxiety.
