ANGLO-JAP PACT
ENDED BY NEW
TREATIES
Ratification FormaIities Of
Arms Farley Agreements to
BE fastened Here.
By w. X. REYNOLDS,
International News Service.

4MSOth~S4VA81 ANO"0 OSANSOOs
In accordance with agreements
reached at the Washington con-
ference, the State Department to-
day made preparations for the
formal exchange of notifications
Of the Four Power Pacific treaty
and the Naval Limitation treaty,
signed here on December IS, 1921.
Although the terms Of the treaties
have been generally observed by
the signatory powers ever since
they were concluded, the pacts do
not actually become effective un-
til notifications have been de-
posted in Washington.
Ends Anglo-Jap Pact.
Final acceptance by France Of
the Pacific and Naval treaties
now clears the way for the diplo-
matte formalities which will mark
the accomplishment of the work
of the Washington conference.
When the four.power treaty goes
into effect the Anglo-Japanese nj.
lance, signed in London on July
10, 1911, will be automatically ter
minated.
The existence of this defensive
alliance, originally designed to pro-
tect Great Britain and Japan
against Russia and Germany in the
Far East, doomed as one Of the
stumbling blocks to the conclusion
OF treaty Of naval limitation, and
its adjustment was held by this
| Government to be essential.
The four-power Pacific treaty was
then decided upon as happy solu-
| ton of the problem, France being
included because Of her possessions
and interests in the Pacific.
+ Pledge Mutual Respect.
The Pacific treaty does not COM
nit the United States or the other
contracting parties to the use Of
force, but each OF the powers agrees
to respect for at least ten years
the rights of the others ''in relation
to their insular possessions and
jnsular dominions in the regions of
the Pacific ocean" In the event
of a controversy involving any of
these rights. the treaty provides for
a joint conference for the considera-
tion and adjustment Of the diff
culties by arbitration.
II any of the rights are threat
ened by the aggressive action Of
any other powers. the four powers
will confer ''in order to arrive at
an understanding as to the most
efficient measures to be taken,
jointly and separately. to meet the
exigencies of the particular situa-
/ ton"
Scraps IS BattIeships.
The naval treaty provides for the
scrapping of sixty-eight capital
ships, aggregating 1,S61,643 tons
and valued in excess of $4,000, 000,-
| 600. The work of disposing of these
vessels has already been started by
! the United States, which agreed to
part with thirty ships of S20,540
tons. OF these fighting ships, thir-
teen were building when the confer
ence started. and construction work
on them was Immediately halted.
Great Britain scraps twenty-three
ships Of 605,975 tons, and Japan
| seventeen ships of 435,32S tons.
The American during the next
year will be maintained at the maxi.
mux strength permitted by the con-
| ference, with a total of eighteen
capital ships.

Many feel that France not only is

The disturbed conditions in

BALL BOYS Do
GOOD JOBS.
CITY TEAM TAKES TWO OUT
OF THREE GAMES PLAYED
GOOD CROWDS.

The City Basket Ball boys have
been doing business the past week
and have come out of the fracas
with two out of three games to
their credit. The team is working
fine and is showing up we'll as q
team besides individual stars have
twinkled and shone brighter than
ever in the week just closed. The
good at each contest and the crowd
has been more than pleased with
the showing made.
The Carpenter Christie games of
last Thursday and Friday proved to
be the best games of the season.
These boys from Superior have a
reputation to sustain and play like
demons-in fact, they travel under
the name of the "Red Devils.
The visitors grabbed the first
game on score of % to 10 in a
holly contested exhibition but the
Ely boys came right back at them
with a IL to 10 win on the follow
ing evening In the first game
Superior started things and the Ely
team seemed lost. The first half
looked bad with the score 20 to
against Ely. During the second
half Ely seemed to get next to the
Superior curves and things became
interesting. Hegman began to come
out from under to his last years
form and the team as a whole
seemed filled with the "pep" lack
ing in the first half. 1t began to
look as if Ely would overcome the
fourteen point lead, but the half
ended too soon and the game end
ed with Superior % and Ely 10.
The second game found Ely be-
ginning where they were forced to
stop by the whistle the night be-
fore. Superior also seemed in the
best of form and for twenty min
utes the ball was rushed and passed
around with neither team having
an advantage. Each scored but
one field basket in that time. Ely
scored two out of her three free
throws while Superior missed three.
These two free throws proved to
be the winners for Ely.
The beginning of the second
half found both teams going at the
opening pace. First one side then
the other would drop one in the
basket. Ely kept the lead gained
in the first half and the game end
ed. IL to 10 in our favor. Each
team scored five field baskets in
this game,
Tuesday evening the team went
to Tower and returned home with
the long end of IA to ID score.
The first half resulted in 5 to 8 in
Ely's favor. Lindbeck was high
point man for Ely having four field
baskets. Eikrem was high man for
Tower with three. Pettibone refer
eed very good game and kept the
teams going at a fast clip all
through the game.
Tower comes to Ely next Tues
day for the return game and if we
take Towers word for it, this will
be as good game as that played
at Tower which is saying enough.
The High School team were in
Aurora Friday and were trimmed
to the tune of SO to IL. Those
who witnessed the game state that
the contest was one well worth see-

ROAD BONDS AFFECT
TAX USE NOT LEVY.
PROPOSALS SIMPLY TO DIRECT
EXPENDITURES OF FUNDS
ALREADY PROVIDED
FOR H WAY
BETTERMENTS.
COMMISSIONER ASSERTS PUR-
POSE is TO PLAY FAIR
TO GIVE JUST SHARES TO
PRESENT AND FUTURE.

Positively denying the time-worn
charge of ''mortgaging the future"
made in some quarters against high
way bond proposals, Chas. NJ. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner in
a public statement counters with an
emphatic assertion that to reject
the bond proposals would mean ode
frauding the present" No other
plan, he added, will operate with
fairness to highway users and par
ticularly motor vehicle taxpayers.
"The bond plan has absolutely
nothing to do with tax rates and
merely fixes the use of money al
ready being collected for highway
improvements" said Commissioner
Babcock. He again made plain
that the sinking fund plan to care
for both bond interest and principal
does not anticipate any increases
in automobile tax rates during the
next twenty years.
"Burdened to the breaking point
today taxpayers cannot reasonably
be asked to go on paying not only
the whole cost of present highway
betterments but also a big part
which justly belongs to the past
and the future" said the commits
sioner. "The bond proposals are in
answer to the great demand for re-
lief from oppressive taxation. Such
bonds will not increase auto or
road taxes and they will reduce
bad road taxes The bonds will
enable the state to so use the
money that is and will be collected
annually that highway users each
year will derive benefits more in
proportion to the sums they pay in.
Any interest charged against the
plan will be Offset many times over
by gains from the use of adequate
roads. Where the use of an i'm
provement is not worth the inter
est, the original investment is not
warranted-there can be no argu-
ment about that"
Mr.. Babcock further explained
that Good Roads Amendment No.
provides for the financing of the
trunk highway improvements and
MISUNDERSTANDING current
funds to motor vehicle tax revenue
and federal highway aid, with bond
funds in the discretion of the leg
lslature. Bonds are a medium of
anticipating receipts, he said, and
both principal and interest can and
viii be paid from the motor vehicle
taxes: The aim, he repeated, is to
distribute more fairly the costs of
permanent improvements which are
taking nearly half of the current
revenues.
Much has been said about ap-
portioning to automobile taxpayers
of the present and of the future
the expense of permanent better
ments on the trunk system" the
commissioner continued. "The same
applies to various localities through
out the state. Scores of needed
improvements, claims for which are
equally meritorious, could be cited.
Many are for gravel surfacing, and
must wait until money now being
wasted on gravel maintenance on
heavy traffic sections can be re-
leased. Paving of these sections
will hasten the crawling of others.

Sir Walter Raleigh who remarked,
after feeling the edge of the ex-
ecutioner's axe, that at is sharp
remedy but a sure cure. It is to
be hoped that France has not made
a mistake, and that her sharp
remedy may be applied with prud-
ence. Germany is potential econ
omic asset Of the first magnitude
and it would be folly beyond de-
scription to cripple the nation past
recovery for long period of years.
The world at large needs Germany,
though France admittedly has the
first call.
The foreign situation naturally
puts damper on the stock market
for the present, but it is to be ex-
pected that good business prospects
and easy money conditions in this
country may outweigh European de-
velopments. Unmistakable evidence
of strong trend toward business
and industrial expansion exist.

this kind would have tendency to
defeat the end sought. Irrespons-
