DEMOCRATS HOLD
OPTIMISTIC VIEW
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, Feb. 5.-While SEN
ate Democrats are scrupulously OBJ
serving an indirect suggestion said
to have emanated from former Pres
ident Wilson that they withhold
praise or criticism of the achieve
ments of the Washington conference
until the labors Of that conference
had been complete, there is certain
and tangible indication that belief is
general that results for the good of
the world have been consummated.
At one time, it was an obvious fact
that certain Democrats were pre-
pairing to- emulate the example of the
Republicans in 1920 and attempt to
kill the treaties to be submitted for
political reasons. The indications
now are these Democrats, after ex-
pressing their opinion of the tactics
Of the Republicans respecting the
Versailles treaty, and after indulging
in criticisms in order that their rec
ord might be clear, will support the
treaties to be submitted by President
Harding. 1t is generally predicted
that after long debate they will be
ratified.
The probable political effect, of the
achievements of the Washington con-
ference is the subject of interesting
controversy.
Up to the present moment there
has been no politics. There is no
doubt, however, that at the proper
time President Harding will refer
with pardonable pride" to the con-
ference as an achievement Of his ad-
ministration. But, in the opinion of
some Democratic strategists, his
claim to such an achievement will not
be as clear or as tenable as the Dem
ocratic claim.
In the first place, the president was
authorized to call the conference by
virtue of the Borah amendment which
the administration forces opposed
and which lived in consequence of
united Democratic support in both
houses of congress. In the second
pdace, the Republicans, in supporting
the Harding treaties, providing for
international agreements and guar
anteeing territorial integrity, and
providing for ffternati consufta-
tion in event of any of the signatories
are threatened with attack, will ac-
cept the fundamental principles of
the Versailles treaty which they pre-
tended to scorn and actually to fear
Thus, when the time comes to play
politics, the Democrats will not fail
to enter their claim. They insist
that they will be able to make it
good.
Secretaries of the conference have
prepared statement setting out the
net results of the conference. First
in order, of course, is the four-pow-
er treaty. This limits the size of the
navies of the world, puts an end to
the race for supremacy, and will rem,
der unnecessary the enormous appro-
priations for super r-dreadnaughts
which burnered the people with in
sufferable loads of taxation. This
treaty will make it impossible either
for the United States to go with it's
navy to Japan or for Japan to come
to the United States with it's navy.
1t also eliminates that secret agree
ment between England and Japan
which was always by the people of the
United States regarded as a menace.

new TAX Bills:
HOLD INTEREST

general assembly this week will be
divided almost equally between the
two houses, the senate occupying it
self with the consideration of the two
corporation tax measures, the NOV
ing picture license tax bill, the in
come tax bill and the hydro electric
tax bill, while the time of the lower
house will be devoted to the consid-
Grafton of the luxuries tax measure
and the senate amendments to the in
heritance and gasline. tax bills, both
of which were returned to tn house
last week. The brokers' license tax
bill, the ninth of the. series of new
revenue measures, is also expected
to come up for consideration in the
house during the week. The timber
tax bill, also another new revenue
measure, originating in the senate,
was tabled and withdrawn last week,
when the pool room license tax bill,
which is expected to replace the pool
room bill introduced last year, is still
in the hands of the ways and means
committee. ~
Neither house will be in session to-
day, the senate not meeting until 8
o'clock Tuesday night, while the
house reconvenes for its fifth week
Tuesday at noon. The afternoon ses-
sion of the house, however, will be
devoted exclusively to the considera-
ton of local and uncontested meas
ures and for this reason will probably
be very meagerly attended. The
houses night sessions will begin at
8:15 o'clock.
The inheritance tax and the gaso-
line tax bills are both expected to
meet with opposition in the house in
their present form. The gasoline tax
bill, as amended by the senate, pro-
vides that the proceeds from the two
cents gallon tax on gasoline shall
be divided equally between the coun-
ties and the state. In this form it
does not we'll fit into the remainder
of the tax program, which is design
ed to provide new revenue sources for
the state and SO reduce the burden
of taxation upon the owners of visible
property. A number. pf vle-islators
have seen in these tax lsase... way to
reduce their couTrs5 { Is ka~,.--. !s1srts 90
is probable that fight may be made
in the house to either maintain the
division as fixed by the senate or to
send the entire proceeds of the gas
oline tax into the counties Golfers.
The ways and means committee, how
ever, will devote it's efforts to max
ing the tax, like the other revenue
measures, strictly state tax. Thus
disagreement, it is expected, will
send both bills to free conference
committees.
The luxuries tax bill, which is ex-
pected to be the greatest revenue pro-
ducer on the program, is now on the
house calendar as a special order and
should be reached either Tuesday
night or Wednesday. This bill, as re-
ported out with amendments, would
impose taxes on theater and other
amusement tickets, automobiles, soft
drinks and beverages and soft drink
syrups and cigars, cigarettes and to
bacco Representative Toole of Ak
en-, however, has amendments pre-
pared to make the tax also applicable
to chewing gun, silk stockings, furs,
perfumes, dice and playing cards.

LAKELAND WILL SETTLEFATE
MEMBERSHIP In FLORIDA BALL
LEAGUE In MONDAYS CANVASS

At meeting of interested fans held
yesterday a program was outlined for
the purpose of raising funds to finance
the Lakeland baseball team in the
South Florida League
Ever since the organization of the
league, Lakeland has been represent
ed by team that upheld the prestige
of this city. While the local aggrega-
ton has as yet never been a pennant
winner, the team was recognized as a
contender and the brand of ball dis
played has been creditable.
Whether or not Lakeland will be
represented this year is up to the
local fans. That representation in
the league is desirable is evidenced
by the fact that Miami and West Palm
Beach are very anxious to get hold
of a franchise and put teams in the
race. Lakeland has the reputation of
being one of Florida's most progress
sive communities. Orlando recently
put on campaign to raise funds by
the sale Of season tickets. In one day
500 tickets were disposed of and Or
lando is assured of representation.
The matter of Lakelands entry
rests entirely with the local baseball
enthusiasts. If Orlando has been able
to finance her team, there should be
but little difficulty in putting across
similar campaign here. If Lakeland
is to have a team, funds must be
