nor, and other state officials. The
new executive made no inaugural

Alfred Bulge, incoming chief
justice OF the state supreme court,
administered all oaths Of Office.
In their order, the following

before the chief justice before the
administration OF the oath of Office:
Justice VIM. E. Lee, Governor
Moore, H. c. Baldridge, lieuten-
ant governor; F. A. Jeter, secretary
OF state; E. G. GalIct, state auditor;

uation, the first practical step
would be to free the hands Of
the commission so that helpful
negotiations may be under
taken.
"It is quite generally accepted
that the adjustment of the ques-
ton of reparations must under
lie any economic rehabilitation
of Europe, and reparations cap
not be settled without the con-
sent of governments concerned
The United States can not as
sumo to say to one nation what
it shall pay in reparations nor
to another nation what it shall
accept.
"In discussions with foreign
governments, the previous ad-
ministration and the present adj
ministration have insisted that
the question of European debts
to the United States is distinct
and apart from the question of
reparations, but Europeans hold
contrary view, and it is wholly
inconsistent to invite confer
ence for the consideration of
questions in dealing with which
the government is denied all
authority by act of congress.
$50 far as the limitation of
aand larmaments is concerned
there seems to be at this time
no more promising prospect of
accomplishment than when the
conference was held in Wash
ington a year ago. Here, again,
l venture to warn the senate
against the suggestion to our
own people of a gesture of prom
Use to the world which can not
be fulfilled until the nations di-
rectly concerned express their
readiness to cooperate to such
an end.
with respect to a limitation
of auxiliary types of naval craft
which are not limited by the
present naval treaty, it is to be
said that such an agreement is
much to be desired, whenever
practicable, but we may reason
ably postpone our further en-
deavors along that line until
the agreements made at the
Washington conference secure
the final sanction of all govern
ments concerned. Very truly
yours,
'Warren G. Harding

TAX INDIAN LANDS
Test Case Taken TO United
States Court.


Boise, Idaho: The department
of justice has sent authorization
to 3. G. Davis, United States
district attorney, that an appeal
be taken from the recent de-
cision of Judge Dietrich in
which he held that Benewah and
Kootenai counties could collect
taxes on certain Indian lands
in north Idaho, and the case
will be carried to the circuit
court of appeals in San Fran
cisco.
The suit was brought by the
Unitel States against the coun.
ties in the nature of a test case.
Indians held the land in qucs-
ton, and they have been ad-
Judged competent to manage
their own affairs by the secre-
tary of the interior. The con-
tentiOn of the government was
that the counties had no right
to levy taxes on the land, how
ever, by virtue of 25-year tax
exemption granted with the
land.

WOULD Be FUTILE
Nations Not Ready for Confer
ence, Says Harding

A letter by President Harding
last week overturned Senator
Borah's plan to call world S
economic conference, and after a
three-day storm resulted in the
withdrawal last Saturday OF the
senator's proposed amendment.
The president pointed out that
consideration is being given to
plans by which the administra-
tion seeks to aid Europe in find
ing solution for the reparations
question but that the various
governments are not now In a
mood to enter into a conference
at Washington.
Senators who saw the presi-
dent stated that he was opposed
to any plan based on the cancel
lation of the foreign debt.
The presidents letter follows:
'My Dear Senator Lodge: Re
plying to your inquiry relative
to the proposed amendment to
the pending bill, authorizing
and requesting the president to
call an economic conference to
deal with conditions in the war
torn nations of Europe, ] write
to say that / know of no prohj-
bitiOn against such an express
sion on the part of the congress
but / do frankly question the
desirability of such an express
sion. think it is undesirable
because of false impressions
which may be conveyed thereby
to Europe and even more up-
desirable because of the wrong
impression it conveys to our
own people.
"On the face of things it is
equivalent to saying that the
executive branch of the govern
ment, which is charged with the
conduct of foreign relations, is
not fully alive to world stu
alton which is of deep concern
to the United States.
Gas a matter of fact, the Eur
Opean situation has been given
most thorough and thoughtful
consideration for many months
Without questioning the good
faith of the proposal, l am very
sure it would have been more
seemly and the action of the
congress could be taken much
more intelligently if proper in
quiry had been made of the
state department relative to the
situation in which we are trying
to be helpful.
"Of necessity, the communica-
tions Of the state department
relative to delicate matters
among nations can not be bull.
etined from day to day, but the
situation is never withheld from
members of congress who
choose to inquire for confiden-
tial information in az spirit Of
cooperation. Such inquiry would
have revealed the futility of any
conference call until it is under
stood that such a conference
would be welcomed by the ma
tiOns concerned, within the lin
it's of discussion which the ex-
pressed will of congress compels
this government to impose.
'In ratifying the treaty of
peace with Germany, the senate
made a reservation that the
United States should not be rep
resented on the reparatiOns

sent has been given. Moreover,

DELAYING THE CAME

Albert Bush, way down in NC bile, is holding up the completion Of a boulevard in Birmingham which Is needed vitally. This is expected to be the sentiment of the realty board of Ensley when it meets Wednesday to discuss the Eighth avenue road and why work is not being done on that highway The deed to the right of way through the property of the Bush estate has been signed for weeks and has been in Mobile for the signature of Albert Bush. How ever, he has not returned the deed to Birmingham and the commission will take no action until the deed Is signed and returned. It is stated that the realty board has grown inn patient over the constant delay that this project has suffered. The state ment was made that never in the history Cf this community has there been such long and tiresome delays encountered in any public improve ments. The opinion was expressed < some weeks ago that work would 5 start soon on the completion of the link through the properties Cf MT. Bush and but for the constant at tention of the realty board and their discolsures the average person would have thought that work was already progressing. Other matters of i'm p1rtance will be discussed at the meeting, according to President J. J. Walker
