CENTER TOWNSHIP
EXTENSION ASKED

A proposal to extend the boundary
Enc Of Center Township to include
that part of the city of Indianapolis
in Warren, Washington, Wayne and
Perry Townships, was advanced to-
day by John Kttley, Democratic mem
Der of the board of county commits
sioners.
This. he said. would make a unit Of
the whole city. instead of having five
assessors, five trustees and five tax
rates. It should be done, he added,
before March l, when the Center
Township assessor goes out of Of
fee.
This action should have been taken
years ago" Kitley said. He asserted
that the commissioners can effect the
change by resolution.
The city of Indianapolis now has five
tax rates. as follows: Center township.
$40; Perry, $3.50; Wayne, $3.50: War
rem, 1854. and Washington, $3.50.
These We're based on 1922 assessments.
If Albert Hoffman and Harry
Tutewiler, the two Republican men,
bers of the board, refuse to approve
the proposal, it will be brought up in
January. 1924, when Tutewiler is sue
ceeded by John McCloskey, Demo

ity on German reparauons, as it
already has in Britain, financiers can
soon find the way out end trade and
commerce will no longer be scared
periodically from their desks by SETS
mic shocks given to credit every
time a French minister ascends the
tribune to make statement on
reparations.
Regarding the payment Of rep.
arations solely from the point of
view of finance, the issues can be
stated simply and, I think, solved
readily. 1t is always assumed by
those who have never read the
Treaty of Versailles and the letter
that accompanied it that this much
abused and little perused document
fixed q fabulous indemnity for pay
ment by Germany. The treaty may
have its defects; that is not one of
them, for 1t fixed no sum for pay
ment, either great or small. 1t stip-
ulated that a PREPARATIONS commits
sion should be set up in order. inter
ala, to assess damages inflicted by
Germany on allied property, and
compensation for injury to life and
limb in allied countries. In the sec
ond place--and this Is always over
looked-it was to ascertain how
much Of that claim Germany was
capable of paying.
On both these questions Germany
is entitled to be heard before ad-
judication. It is in accordance with
all Jurisprudence that as Germany
was the aggressor and loser she
should pay costs. But it would be
not only oppressive but foolish 20
urge payment beyond her capacity.
The amount of damage was to be as
certained and assessed by May, 1921.
Capacity was to be then determined
and revised from time to time ac-
cording to varying conditions. Even
so fair a controversialist as the en-
inent italian statesman. Signor Nittt,
has ignored the latter provision in
the Versailles Treaty. No wonder
hat he should, for there are
multitudes who treat every -altera-
ZION effected in the annuities fixed in
May, 1921, as If it were a departure
from the Treaty of Versailles to the
detriment of the victors; whereas
every modification made was effective
under the provisions and by the ma
chinery incorporated in the treaty
for the express purpose.

After the first political squabble
over the appointment of committees

week has seen the opening and de-

Among the important measures al
ready presented to the Assembly are
the soldier bonus bill, bill to reform

On the political side Of the Legisla-

When the Assembly reconvenes

a departure from the treaty-a flln-
damental departure It has how.
ever. been entirely to the detriment
OF the vaniquished In what respect?
I propose to explain. for the whole
trouble has arisen from this change
in the treaty.
The treaty provided that the body
to be set up for deciding the amount
to be paid in respect of reparations
should be made up Of a representative
of each Of the United States Of Amer
lea, the British empire, France, Italy
and Belgium With the exception of
the United States, all these powers are
pecuniarily interested in the verdict.
At best It was, therefore, on the face
of it not q very impartial tribunal.
Stu, Britain. as a great trading com
munity, was more interested in a set
tlement than in a few millions more
or less of indemnity being wrung out
Of Germany, and the presence of the
United States and Britain together on
the commission constituted a guar
antee for a moderation of view. Now
the only DISTINGUISHED party has re-
tired from the tribunal The most in
terested party is In the chair with a
casting vote on certain questions.
That is not the treaty signed by Ger
many.
If you sign an agreement to pay a
sum to be awarded by A, B, C, D
and e trusting for a fair hearing
largely to the influence of A, who
is not very powerful but completely
disinterestd, and then A retires from
the board Of arbitration, you are en-
titled to claim that the character of
the agreement is changed.
Anxious to Do Justice
Representatives of France and
Belgium on the reparations COM
mission are honorable men who are
most anxious to do justice, but they
have a vigilant, jealous and exact
ing opinion constantly ready to over
power their judgment.
The balance of the treaty has
therefore been entirely upset. What
is really needed is to restore that bal
ance so as to secure a fair verdict on
the only question in tssue-how much
Germany can pay. When you come
to consider that issue you must view
the claim for reparations as you
would any ordinary debt. You must
make up your mind whether you
wish to ruin the debtor or to recover
