HARDING MAY FAVOR
. new GERMAN TREATY.,
TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-President
Harding had under consideration to-
day with indications of early approval
a proposal that the United States ne
gotiate a new treaty with Germany to
create a commission for arbitration of
private damage claims growing out of
the World war. Suggested at a white
house dinner conference last night
between the president, Secretary
Hughes and Republican leaders of the
tratiOn treaty while understood not
to have been definitely decided upon
was said TO have been favorably
viewed by the president as providing
a substitute for arbitration rights re-
served by this country under its sepa-
rate treaty with Germany.
While these rights give the United
States opportunity to join with the
allies in arbitral commissions already
established abroad under the treaty
of Versailles, it was said to have been
concluded that American participation
in these commissions would be i'm
practicable, chiefly on account of the
recognized hostility of many Republi-
can senators to any sort of participa-
ton in engagements under the Yer
sailles pact. Other reasons against
it also were said to have been de-
yeloped in a thorough canvass of the
whole question.
Agreement was said to have been
reached at the conference also for a
repeal of the 100000 loan agree
ment made with Liberia during the
war.

EBy Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 25.-The con-
stitutionality of the tax section of the
1917 consolidated school law was up
held today by the supreme court in its
decision affirming the Wayne circuit
court order directing Amos Ehle, a
township trustee, to perform duties as
member of the board of trustees
for the consolidated school district
of Cambridge City and Jackson town
ship, Wayne county.
Under the tax section of the 1917
law, provision was made for appor-
tioning the cost of maintaining the
consolidated schools in proportion to
the number OF children in each of the
consolidated school corporations, and
the appeal raised the question wheth-
er this provision did not violate the
constitutional provision for uniform
and equal rate assessment and taxa,
ton
In deciding the question in the mega.
tive, the supreme court said: "It
seems TO US that the question here
of uniformity and equality in taxation
has been mistakably confused with
one of cost and apportionment and
matter included in the power to i'm
pose taxes and is vested in the legis
lature."
In effect. the decision directed that
Ehle turn over S3.120 of school funds
to Ebert Muddelston. treasurer of the
consolidated district in Wayne county
and that Ehle assume duties as a mem
