Moratorium Not
Helping Officers

While the 60 day moratorium on
the payment of state and county
taxes recently passed by the legisla-
ture and signed by the governor,
may be a boon to the taxpayer it
is causing considerable trouble to
the county tax collector and the
county auditor.
Not only does the law face a
strong possibility of being declared
unconstitutional but its provisions
are such that it is difficult to de-
termine whether the additional PEN
atty due on first installment taxes
which became delinquent December
and on which penalty was i'm
posed. comes under the moratorium.
Neither office has to date received
an official Interpretation and so
whether or not the second penalty
of five per cent is to be added,
remains to be seen.

WASHINGTON, April 26. Pres
ident Roosevelt and Prime Minister

that an international monetary
standard must be re-established as
soon as circumstances permit.
This was made known in a joint

Both emphaized that no definite
agreements had been rachel. These,
they said, must be reached in the
world economic conference in June.
President Roosevelt is continuing
his conservations with former Pre-
mier Herriot of France. The con-
sulative pact, disarmament and
money problems are the chief sub
jects under examinations between
them.
The Roosevelt Macdonald state
ment said:
l. That "the necessity for an in
crease in the general level Of COM
modify prices was recognized as
primary and fundamental"
2. 1t recognized the need for "a
constructive effort to moderate the
network of restrictions of all sorts
by which commerce is at present
hampered."
3. Expansion of credit should be
provided through concerted action
of central banks, 1t was stated, and
every means should be used to get
credit thus created into circula-
ton"
4. The discussions have included
the silver question and said that
proposals we're tentatively suggest
ed for the improvement of its
status"
Reopen Debt Problem
Other developments out of the
international economic conferences

/. Reopening of the war debts
problem between President Roose-
Welt and Prime Minister MacDon-
aid.
2. Favorable attitude by the Unit

sultative pact.
3. Establishment of elbow to ell
bow cooperation between the Unit
ed States toward entering con-
ing with the many interlocked pro-
blems of economic recovery.

fields.
8. Recognition that domestic
remedies must be coordinated with

of his talks with President Roose-
welt.
II go away convinced of the
fact that We not only hope to come
to an agreement but that we are
determined to do so, and that we
are coming to an agreement.
This agreement does not mean
that the United States will be-
come entangled in the maelstrom
of Europe. 1t does not mean for
eign entanglements. But 1t does
mean that we have extended to
each other helping hand

BEVERLY HILLS, April Is.
(SpeciaD - Every paper just
keeps saying how Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Macdonald are
gin accord" and how Mr.. Her
riot and Mr.. Roosevelt are "in
accord"
Now that all sounds mighty
chumy and docile. But know
ing Europe like we ought to
know, there is just a little too
much "in accord" There is one
awful good time to watch those
babies from over there and that
is when they are "in accord"
But I imagine we can trust
Mr.. Roosevelt. While this is his
first poker game with Europe,
he has played with Tammany,
so he is not exactly what you
would call an amateur. He has
seen guys pull EN- out of
their sleeve before. But he has
got to watch that "in accord
