ueer, has been asked to make report
to the board of revenue next Tuesday

Inglenook sewer, which was asked for
by large delegation several months
ago: Work on the new project is ex-
pected to begin within few weeks.
w. b. Copeland introduced a mo-
ton at Fridays meeting of the board
of revenue to instruct Mr.. Salter to

to by other members and the substi-
tute motion was introduced by Jerry
Gwin. Mr.. Copeland said the new sewer,
which will connect the present Ingle-
nook sewer with the county trunk sew
er, probably will cost $4,000 or
more.

AMERICA NOT so BAD

viscount Cecil. who was pre-
sented the $4,000 peace award and
medal given by the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation. evinces characteristics
which seem to warrant the be-
stowal. Not only did he say OF
Woodrow Wilson that be was "A
great American and n great citi-
zen OF the world. There Is no title to
fame higher than that" but he also
declared that he would not utter
word Of criticism of Americas at
titude toward the League. He said
the advance. which the world had
made In the past Ave years toward
inter ma tional CO. operation. has been
little short OF marvellous. Verify
we're all as kindly In speech as
viscount Cecil there need be no more
war In this world, assuming acts
ccnformed 10 words.
II also seems worthy of notice that
the editor OF the London Economist,
who has been Occurring in this
country. takes occasion to praise
America for what was done by
means OF the Dawes plan. though
ne did not say that had America
joined the League II is probable
there would have been no Dawes
plan.

A pueLic INTEREST

The reason for the opposition OF
organized railroad labor to rep
resentation OF tho public on the
Labor Board has long been apparent
IN some degree. but a brief filed by
tho board in an action IL has
brought against Brotherhood Of
ficiaI. who refuses to testify in a
wage dispute. serves to emphasize
the reason or reasons.
The brief contends that while 1t Is
within the power OF the railroads or
OF their employees to default them
selves out Of court. they cannot de-
fault the public. which Is party.
II 10 argued that the public has an
interest, because an increase In pay
may be reflected in an increase OF
rates; that It has an interest in the
rules governing working bours and
conditions, which may cause UNI
necessary expense.
There was a time. II there isn't
now. when the railroads sought to
ignore the pubiic's right to a word
respecting the management Of these
carriers. II Is hoped they are wise
enough to appreciate the necessity
Of according the public some right in
this respect. Labor may understand
the situation fully as well as the
managers but evidently thinks 1t
has a political lever which will en-
able It to pry itself loose from obli-
cation to the public.

Florida had n 14-degree weather on
Christmas Day. The Oldest Alaskan
"sourdough" could hardly recall
another Christmas like that OF 1874.
Heavy clothing and fur coats were
laid aside. At Nome's municipal cele-
bration real reindeer drew the pres
ent-laden sledges through the streets,
but the snow was melting in Az
degree "heat wave" and a warm rain.
Between these two widely sepa-
rated sections of the continent the
breath of the arctic hung heavily.
Chicago and other points in the Mid
West saw their coolest Christmas IN
fifty years. The Mountain states re-
ported temperatures as low as 4S de-
grees below zero. Southern California

Jan. 10. 1925, is an important date
in Europe. II is the date set in the
Treat y of Versailles for Allied evacu-
alton of Cologne. 1t is the date set
in the treaty for the League TO as
sembie a new Governing Commission
in the Saar. 1t Is the date set for
the termination If the unilateral
most favored nation treatment of
the Allied Powers on the part of
Germany. And with the decision
made that the Allies are not to
evacuate Cologne. it is especially
concerning this third point that we
are certain to read 4 quantity of
news within the next few days. For
some new formula must shortly he
found to handle n problem whose old
formula no longer exists.
Germany has been negotiating
treaties with both France and Eng
land. In the case of England this is
written in preliminary form which
provides that most-favored- nation
treatment will henceforth be recip-
rocal: there are clauses satisfactory
to both parties concerning the COM
mercial status of German aliens and
the opening of German branch banks
in England; on the question of the
26-per-cent. tax which Britain has
been imposing on German imports.
formula has been submitted to Ber-
lin which now awaits acton.
In the case of France. negotiations
have been more difficult; a confer
ence which convened in Paris on
Oct. is still in progress. with occa-
sional Interruptions. One agreement
has been reached by which Germany
agrees to accord French products
most favored nation treatment and
France undertakes TO allow Germany
reductions from the general tariff on
certain articles. Negotiations are
under way concerning q schedule of
these reductions.
Alsace- Lorraine presents n second
problem. France wishes to secure
for these two provinces the advan-
tages which they enjoyed as part Of
the German economic system and
which they continued to enjoy in a
measure under the Treaty of Yer
make concessions.
Finally, there is the question of the
imposition of French tax of rs per
cent on German imports, similar to
the British tax. Introduced by the
French Government on the eve Of the
Franco-German conference, protested
by the Germans. the subject of
statement by the Agent General of
the Dawes plan asserting the author
ity of the Transfer Committee, this
tax problem is now the center Of a
between Germany and
France.
All Europe is formulating its tariff
policies.
