A GOOD SUGGESTION.

In the course Of a very practical plea
for economy In local administration.
Upset" a contributor to the Sunday
Star, suggests a combination OF the
city and county Boards of Assessment
Revision and Appeals There is no rca-
son why such a reform should not be
effected. as the result would be a con-
siderable saving of money. and as
such il might be included in the
changes proposed by the new city
charter measure.
The Star writer shows. by quota
that the cost of operating the city
board Is SIC, ose.o2: county board. 500
$3.50; total. s3e.s75.s2. He believes
consolidation would save at least u.s.
600 year. and such result would
be very probable.
The actual operations of these two
bodies are similar, as far as the as
scssment of real property in Whining
ton is concerned. and one body could
readily attend 10 the city and county
assessment; details at very little more
cost than the operations OF either
board a; present. So there IL really
no necessity for two bodies. Indeed,
there is a probability that consolida-
tions would tend TO increase efficiency
The total cost Of operations. under a
single body. could very easily be pro
rated between city and county ad-
ministration.
OF course, partisan interests will
| oppose this suggestion. as consolida-
ton would mean the abolition OF a few
official places for party favorites. But
the results would be appreciated by
the public.

To Deport
5 DakOtans

Sioux Falls, Feb. At was an
nounced here that five aliens ready
for deportation, will be taken east
in charge of w. G.. Nyquist, of Chi
cago. Two of the men are japanese,
two are Mexicans and one is Swede.
One of the Mexicans and the
Swede come under the classification
of committing crimes involving NOR
al turpitude and have served terms
in the Sioux Falls penitentiary. The
two japanese smuggled themselves
into the country at Seattle, Wash,
and were placed in a hospital there,
from which they escaped and came to
South Dakota. The others had been
involved in crimes and had shown
themselves unfit to become American
citizens, SO all five will be sent back
to their native countries.

DECLARE MONEY WAS NOT USED
TO EXTEND CREDIT TO
LIVESTOCK GROWERS

Washington, Feb. Banks of
the corn belt, it was charged today
at the department of agriculture,
have Disseminated against growers
of livestock by using funds advanced
by the War Finance corporation, for
agriculture purposes to liquidate
debts to the federal reserve board in
stead.
Many livestock growers, Secretary
Wallace said he had been informed,
were in need of livestock which to
feed the surplus ccrn crop. and ON
applying to banks for loans, had been
refused. Large sums already had
been advanced to the corn belt by
the war finance corporation, it was
said, but there was unmistakable
evidence, now it was added, that
much of this had not found it's way
to the farmers.
The surplus corn crop, unless led
would have a depressing effect on
the price of next years crop, il was
pointed out. Interest rates charged
to farmers in many parts of the
country have been outrageous and
wholly unjustified," Secretary Wal
lace asserted, pointing to reports
reaching him, which included one of
ten per cent. with an additional Is
per cent. to the agent making the
loan. Others were reported as to
10 per cent. for five years, and
per cent. for ten years.

Washington, Feb. 2-The great
flve-power limitation treaty scaling
down shop of war, creating naval
holiday and providing basis for a
sounder world peace was presented
at plenary session of the arms con-
ference for approval of the world.
What was presented was largely
known to the already, but it was the
first official release of the covenants
agreed upon by the plenipoteniaries
Secretary of tSate Hughes laid the
naval reductions treaty before the
session. Then he announced to the
world final settlement of the trouble
some Shantung question, a potential
source of war ever since the Yer
sailles conference. Secretary Hughes
sprung surprise ON the conference
by announcing that a written agree
ment between Japan and China pro-
viding for the return of Shantung
province to China has been complet-
ed. He read the compact to the con-
ference. The draft was completed
Dy the Chlnese and Japanese con-
ferees last night. The naval reduc-
tion treaty calls for the United States
Great Britain and Japan scrapping
sixty-eight great capital ships with
a total tonnage running over one
million eight hundred thousand. The
treaty starts ten year naval holi-
day with a few exceptions in capital
ship building dating from November
Fl, 1921 when the conference was
opened. The announcement of the
treaty with virtually the original pro
posals made by Secretary Hughes
shows a victory for the United
States. Resolutions banning the
use of poison gas and unrestricted
submarine warfare binding upon the
powers represented at Washington, to
which all nations are invited to sub
scribe, were presented.
