Exactly What Did Occur?

If washington would make a
statement on the foreign debt situa-
ton which in any way met the ser
ious and circumstantial charges
which are being made here and
abroad, the air would clear much
more quickly. 1t has been reported
in this country that when the time
came to sign the agreement of the
Allies with regard to the distribu-
ton of reparation and occupation
troops payments, the American rep
resentative, Ambassador Kellogg,
notified the conferees that he would
sign with the reservation that the
Washington government was bound
only insofar as the rights of the
United States were concerned.
1t is further reported that i'm
mediate protest was made by the as
sembled tatesmen-Churchil the
British Chancellor, elemental the
French Financial Minister, Theunis
the Belgian Premier, Stefani the
Finance Minister of Italy, all of
whom protested that the conference
had gone forward on the assumption
that the United States would sign
the whole agreement and back the
whole agreement. They protested
that the United States could not eX-
pect to collect, and avoid all respon-
sibility Then, say the correspond
ents, Ambassador Kellogg with
drew his reservations and, together
with Ambassador Herrick and
Colonel James A. Logan, signed the
whole agreement"
The result in Europe was eXulta-
ton. The United States had been
roped in at last. It's signature was
with the rest. If America had been
denounced as 'materialist' and
money -grubbing before, European
comment now clearly showed that
Europe's materialism and love of
money was abysmal: the most vul-
gar terms were used by statesmen
and press alike to express their JOY
that Americas signature had been
bought for so small a sum and so in
significant a, percentage.
Upon all this European acclaim,
American editors and statesmen
protested, notably Colonel Harvey
among editors and various senators.
Then came the statement of the Sec
retary of state that 1.-The agreement
at Paris neither surrenders nor
modifies any treaty right of the
United States"
What the state department should
do, in matters like this, and what it
has not done, heretofore, is to give
precisely stated assurance that it is
not the policy of the United States
to turn itself into collection
agency or use military power to en-
force financial deals, and, in relation
to the present matter, give exact ex
planation of what occurred in Paris.
Did the American representative
tell the agents of the other powers
that he could not sign the agree
ment as a whole, and did he after
ward sign it as a whole?
Either Europe is misled or we are
misled. And in these matters it is
indicative of callow ineXperience to
leave any loophole for such serious
Misunderstanding as has arisen

lation of law. She had not known
of the existence of such law. The
children were absent because they
were at work. She was fined two
dollars, and paid it in pennies all
the money she had.
The broken father returned to his
home to find it ruined; his children
hungry; a penalty of the injustice OF
justice!
This wrongfully accused citizen
has no recourse in the matter of the
wrong done him. He was deprived
of his liberty. his family left de-
pendent and defenseless, to be har
rassed in their meager and desperate
efforts to maintain a bare existencass
The law took from him his occupa-
ton, and now he is unified to re-
sumo it. He had been successful
prosperous vaudeville humorist. Not
much humor now left in his soul, it
we'll may be believed. The slain
girl was his favorite daughter, "a
vital help in the home. He has his
memories of her, and of all that his
wife and little ones suffered while
the law sought for evidence thet
would convict him of having killed
his child How can itA be possible
for this man to respect the law, to
believe in justice?
Unfortunately there are many
such instances as this. To the cor
sideration of such must be added
the multiple instances of legal de-
lays, evasions and miscarriages OF
justice; the success of real crimi-
nails in avoiding the consequences of
their crimes and the effort to en-
force laws which invite the resis-
tance and resentment of the popular
will. Truly, the law needs doctor

The Injustice of Justice

What we are ,pleased to term JUS
tice very often spells rankest in
Justice. This is one reason why
multitudes are coming to look upon
the law with scant respect.
The criminal jurisprudence Of the
country is weak in many respects
A fragrant instance Of the truth OF
this statement recently occurred in
New York. where the law accused a
man of killing his daughter.
After JivesMonths in prison the
accused was released upon the ad-
mission OF the state that it had been
unable to discover any evidence tha,

FIGURES FOR COMPARISON
WITH SOME OTHER COUNTIES

From the 1924 annual report of
/ the state auditor, some rather in
teresting figures are obtainable. The
smallest county tax duplicate in the
state is that of Vinton. It has a
duplicate of $12,295, ,040. Other
counties in order are: Pike, $15,-
922,590; Adams, SIG, 1890; Gal
liza, SIG, 65O,5OO Noble, $17,029,-
$40; Morgan, SIT. 979.250.
Tax Collected
The amounts of taxes collected in
these counties, beginning with the
smallest and going up the list, are
as follows: Vinton. $223,677.53;
Pike, $285,864.27; Adams, $323,-
99O19; Morgan, $362,469.99; No
BILE, $412,959.35; Gallia, $415, 5,733.-
iS6.
1t will be noted that while Nor
gan is the sixth smallest in the state,
we are fourth in the amount of taxes
collected. This shows that others
of the smaller counties are worse
taxed" than is Morgan.
The tax duplicates of the counties
bounding Morgan follow: Muskin-
gum, $80,231,760; Washington,
$58,134,310; Perry, $3S,435,270:
Athens, $45,959, $50; Noble, $17,-
O29,620. Amounts of taxes collect
ed in these counties are: Muskin-
gum, 1881 ,O9702; Washington,
.$1,132,744O9; Perry, $961,373.95;
A~hens, s1,os2,457.24; NO b ie'
$412,95935.
State Aid For Schools
Last year Morgan county received
as state aid for schools the sum OF
$72,303; Muskingum county, $685.
401; Noble, s125,116; Perry, $119,-
O16; Washington, $50, $50; Athens.
$249,634. Just why it happens
but Athens county receives more
state aid for schools than any other
county in the state-in fact about
100000 more.
School Funds From February
Settlement
From the Morgan county auditor 5
semi-annual settlement for Febru-
ary, the December collection of taxes
for the various schools of the coun-
ty, is as follows: M. & NJ, $1,000
Sc; Deavertown, $1,0O5.30; York
TIP, $3,883.93; Windsor, $500
Union, $4,962.71; Penn, S.

In the auditors settlement with
the state, Morgan county has the
unique distinction of receiving
$894,40 from the school and minis
terial trust fund. This fund was
started over a century ago, when the
national government showed it's ap-
probation of the value of education
to the youth of Ohio by making pro-
vision that the one-thirty-sixth of
all land within the state be set aside
fer educational purposes, and sec
tion 16, or it's equivalent in every
original surveyed township, was Sc
lected for this purpose. For many
years it was in charge of the town
ship trustees, and was badly neglect
ed. a In more recent years some of
the tracts haye been sold in the
county, and ethers leased for oil,
gas. etc Recentlx the state legis-
lature pasted measure whereby
these proceeds were TO be placed in
a depositary in Columbus, to draw
interest. It was through this ar
