PARIS SEES NO
RAY OF HOPE
Even Optimists Declare That Treaty
With Turkey is of Distant
Future.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Paris.-Even tenacious optimists adj
mitted today that the prospects of
signing the Lausanne treaty between
the powers and the Turks appeared to
have receded into the distant future.
Ismet Pasha, it seems, had another
change of mind almost before the train
bearing the French delegation home
ward from Lausanne. was out of sight,
abandoning the conciliatory attitude
which so impressed M. Bompard. The
further manifestation of Turkeys IA
ellie changes of front have had an ex-
asperating effect on Lord Curzon, the
British foreign secretary, and even on
friends Of Turkey in France.
Therefore when the British govern
ment declared that Ismet must put
into writing the text of the clauses on
which he and the allies were in agree
ment, together with detailed plan
concerning those to be reserved for an
nexed conventions, further asserting
that the economic questions ought to
be settled at once, Premier Poincare
FASTENED to endorse this viewpoint and
communicated it to Ismet.
The position of the Turkish delega-
tion was summarized here today as fol-
lows 1.-THE whole treaty should be
subjected to fresh examination; all
questions unsettled at noon last Sun
day or just previous to break, should
receive further consideration; the
economic clauses should be separated
from the treaty; it is not for the Turks
to define the conditions under which
they might sign the treaty, but rather
for the allies to do so. Meanwhile the
Turks wait for the powers to take the
initiative"

TAX BY WEIGHT
ON AUTOMOBILES
Hirst Bill VIII be Present
ed to Legislature To-
morrow Evening.
WHAT CARS WILL PAY
by Associated Press)

Madison, Wis. A graduated IL
cense fee based upon weight, is out
lined in tentative highway bill to be
brought before the joint highway
committee of the legislature at its
meeting Wednesday night. This
measure, drawn by A. r. Hirst, state
chief Highway engineer, provides a
schedule of fees, application of which
is estimated to raise 100000 annu-
ally.
Under terms of the bill drawn by
the highway engineer at the direction
of the legislative committee, automo-
biles up to $4,000 pounds would pay
IS cents for each one hundred pounds !;
between 1000 pounds and 1880
pounds would pay 81 on the same
basis.
This in effect is an automobile
weight surtax, apportioned in such 8
way as to place the heaviest burden
of highway cost on the owner of the
heaviest car. 1t would produce 49,
100000 annually from the $43S, 200
automobiles which it is estimated,
will be used throughout Wisconsin
during 1924.
According to tables prepared by Mr..
Hirst 64.5 per cent of the automo-
biles would go in the first weight
class; 1872 per cent would fall in the
second class and 17.78 per cent would
be in the third class.
Personal property taxes on auto
mobiles in Wisconsin would continue
to be levied as in the past, under the
committee bill. 1t is less compre-
hensive proposal than that offered by
the legislative committee of the coun-
ty boards association, although es-
timated to double present returns
from automobile owners.
The plan of Governor Blaine for a
combined horsepower and weight IL
cense fee was blasted by the commit
tee when Mr.. Hirst brought in table
showing that 3S makes of cars, more
expensive than the Ford, had small
err horsepower, resulting in q rela-
lively high tax for the cheaper car,
Following is the table prepared by
the highway engineer to show the IL
cense fee imposed by the proposed
law on a number Of makes of auto
mobiles:

muskrats cannot be hunted with ca

fall into their fortunate category.
All wallpaper and calcimine must
be scraped off ere new covering is
applied. Such is the arbitrary re-
quirement of a bill introduced in the
assembly by Milwaukee socialist.
1t applies universally, except on farms
and in villages and cities of the
fourth or smallest class. The osten-
sible object is sanitary; the actual
purpose is to create more work. more
expense. Such law even now exists
but relates only to ''hotels and other
public places" That was the thin
edge of the wedge. Now a large ex-
tension is suggested, and, if this bill
passes, the next move, two years
hence, will be to include homes on
farms and in villages and little ci-
ties. That's how paternalism subtly
grows-and the high cost of living.
Another instance of this paternal-
ism is found in a bill creating shoe

bers at $3.50 each per day and ex-
penses; and no mortal in Wisconsin

pay without he possess a license, aft

Wisconsin employers will at once
be placed at grave disadvantage
with rivals in other states if unem-
ployment insurance is legalized. One
bill on the subject has been present
ed already. 1t is a terror, beyond
all question the most radical measure
ever offered for the consideration of
Wisconsin lawmakers. Fortunately
for small industries. it will have no
effect where six or fewer workers are
employed; but, it may be asked, why
should a merchant, for example, who
has only five clerks be free from the
financial burden fixed by a law of
this sort, while his next door COM
petitor with six clerks is not? Hun
dreds of Wisconsin printeries will be
involved, and the law will give a
great advantage to those in other
states. Small printshops will not be
hit, but every daily publisher whose
papers are delivered by carrier will
be ''penalized." A huge state liability
insurance company is provided for,
and thus another vast addition to the
so-called state machine is establish
ed. One inevitable consequence of
such legislation will be to keep indus
tries from forming in this state, and
also there must be sharp scaling
down of employees below the dead
line of six before the act becomes OPP
erative.
But the bill, as presented, is mere
ly the. entering wedge. At each sue
ceeding session the rate of pay to
idle employees will be increased to
the sorrow of helpless employers, and
the number gradually lessened from
six, while eventually farm laborers
also will be included. The bill may
pass. The crisis is the most serious
ever confronting Wisconsin employ
ers.
The case would be entirely differ
emit if the act were federal, though
of universal Ascope throughout the en-
tire country. The Wisconsin employ
ers would not be at a disadvantage
compared to all others.
It is the old agonism, whether q
county board may or must employ
county nurses. Now they are under
compulsion, yet many persons deem
such nurses non-essential luxury.
Assemblymen Lindahl of Superior is
one, and he fosters bill leaving the
matter optional with county boards.
We scarcely can pass since all the
nurses and all health boards will i'm
mediately cealesce into an aggressive
bloc in opposition.
And why not? Under existing law
any man may not marry in Wisconsin
or have a nuptional license issued to
him, unless upon examination he~is
found free of social disease. Now
theN would-be bride must be equally
pure, if DR.. ]. L. Barber's bill OBJ
tains statutory dignity. A medical
examination is limited to two and re-
suits must be made conclusive by rec
ognized clinical and laboratory tests.
Any physician may be employed, and
county clerk who issues marriage
license without viewing medical GER
tifcates that all is well with both
principals may be fined up to $4,000
and injured not over six months, or
both. The act gives women equal
rights with cold impartiality.
