spirited debate in the Ell Centre
CITY Council Wednesday night when
John Davis appeared before the
body to apply for permission to buy
two state street lots.
you are going to turn State
stree. into a parking lot" Council
man Tondro declared.
Davis had conceded that he would
have no immediate use for the lots
unless it was for parking purposes.
After Davis had asked to be re-
licved of the obligation to pay i'm
mct lately or in full the approxi-
matelv S1l00 in taxes outstanding
against the properties, Councilman
Tondro insisted that there was no
reason why the city should make
any concession. He offered several
points:
ID Parking lots do not pay the
city worthwhile taxes.
l2D They prevent the development
Of q street, as in the case Of State
street.
C3) They tend to run the garage
man, who puts up building, and
pays the city taxes, out of business.
The city clerk was instructed to
inform Davis, if he should call, that
he could have the lots by paying the
full price.

Foreign Credit
Plans Eyed

some way must be worked cut TO
pay back the loans.
Payment could be made in goods,
it was pointed out. In fact, this
method was recommended on the
theory that capital loans and in
vestments "are actually deferred i'm
ports" with the burden lying heavi-
ly upon the creditor to assure that
any foreign loans and investments
made bring real economic advantage
not only to the recipient country,
but also to the country which eX-
ports the capital. The danger con-
fronting the United States today.
in its extension of loans and invest
ments abroad, is that it will not
willingly face this economic reality
and so adjus its tariff schedules as
to bring about an excess of imports
at some reasonably early date"
TWO-WAY DEAL
The Americans noted that trade
must be a twC-Way affair with this
country ready to receive goods from
foreign nations, notably from its
debtors so that they can pay off
their loans.
The American group insisted upon
a long list cf republics for making
foreign loans 1t held that private
enterprise must dominate and make
the loans. that foreign nations pro-
tect outside capital and property,
that there be relationship between
foreign investments, management
and know-how. and that there be
local participation in equity capital

HAD VARIED USES

CHICAGO, Nov. Is. CUP)-All
men and women of fashion down
through the centuries have used
wigs, according to the Encycloped-
ia Britannica. but the French car
ried the fad still further; a statue
in the Louvre was constructed with
removable wig SO it could always
be kept in fashion with the latest
coiffure.
There is much historical data
about wigs. They have been found
on Egyptian mummies. Theatrical
wigs were common in ancient
Greece. Hannibal used them as a
means of disguise. Louis XVIII
started something when he put on
wig to hide his premature bald

Two Ca!ifornians
Urge Electoral
College Changes

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16. (UP)-
The present electoral college sys-
tenn of choosing the President was
described as "grotesque and out
worn" 10y two Democratic House
leaders who moved to revise it.
Representatives Clarence F. Lea
CD, California, and Chairman Eu-
gene Worley CD, Texas, of the
House presidential elections COM
mittee said the system should be
changed by constitutional amend
ment before the nation chooses its
next chief executive.
CITE FAULTS
They said the electoral college as
it now exists does net reflect true
public opinion as indicated by the
popular vote, and, by failing TO
commit electors to party candidates,
may result in disfranchisement of
the people"
Lea, chairman of the powerful in
terstate commerce committee, has
intro duced legislation designed to
compromise faults in the present
system while still retaining the
electoral college itself.
His plan would permit each state
to retain its present number of
electoral votes but would split the
votes between the candidates on the
basis of the percentage of each
mans popular vote within the state.
Thus, if Oklahoma with 10 cleo
toral votes gave 6l.3 per cent of its
popular vote to the Democratic cam
didate and 1877 per cent to the Re-
publican nominee. its electoral votes
would be split 613 to 3.87.
LIKE OTHERS
The proposal. he said. is similar
to others he has introduced in past
cessions with approval of President
Roosevelt. Because of the wide vari-
ance between Governor Thomas E.
Dewey's popular and electoral vote
last week, Lea believes Republicans
in the next session of Congress may
give the resolution cupport which
it has previously lacked.
Lee pointed out that the Presi-
dent received 432 electoral votes,
more than four times Dewey's SO,
although his popular plurality was
only in the ratio of about 10 to 8.
Under Lea's plan, President
Roosevelt would have received 305.32
electoral votes and Dewey 225.68.

who said:
"I gather the impression that to
