Washington, Sept. 15.—Rejection N*f all proposed amendments to tho in an Peace Treaty and modifica tton of the recommended "strong" I reservations was urged in an indi 'vidual minority report, filed with the Senate to-day by Senator McCumber, Republican, of North Dakota, next lin rank on the Foreign Relations I Committee to Chairman Lodge. Senator McCumber did not join in 'the recent Republican majority re iport and voted with the Democrats 'on amendments and several reserv ■ationa. Attacking the majority report of IChairman Lodge. Senator McCumber [denounced most of the majority •amendments as "selfish, immoral •and dishonorable," and charged that 'they seek to "isolate the United ■ States from the rest of tho world land abandon our allies."

These figures show the increased assessment of the various wards of Harrisburg for t e year of 1919 in comparison with the year of 1918. The increase has been in one year from fifty-four (54) million dollars in 1918, to sixty-two (62) million dollars in 1919, an increase of eight (8) million dollars. This, in the opinion of the writer, is the largest increase of any tax period in the history of t he city. The above figures are correct and beyond dispute, being an exact copy of the City Assessor's records. . ne . comparison of these increases in the various wards will show the unfairness of the assessment. Particularly is this so in the Allison Hill section and in wards where people own their own homes or are paying for them. Th e Ninth Ward has always been unfortunate at the hands of the Assessors, both past and present, v •tandmg the great number of people in the Ninth Ward who are paying on their homes, they have had their burden increased this year by an increase in their ward assessment of $1,388,211.00. The 2nd Ward which also consists largely of home owners has had an increased assessment of $500,000.00. The Bth Ward is in a similar position, having a large number of home owners and their assess ment having been increased by $565,000.00. The wards mentioned above are selected to show only the manifest unfairness of the city's assessment Desiring to place the responsibility and to know the real reasons for this large increase in the assessed valuation of the different wards, we naturally turn to the members of the City Council. They, as candi dates for re-election, were unwilling or lacked courage to increase the millage rate. They therefore resorted to the old political deception of obtaining revenue required, by increasing the valuation of private prop erties, when an increase in the mill rate would apply equitably on all the people in every section of the city. These conditions show clearly that the people of Allison Hill and other wards have been "asleep at the switch and the necessity of their getting together to secure proper representation for their present as well as their future interests. The following figures show the increased Ward Assessment of the various Wards of Harrisburg for the year of 1919. A careful study of these figures will show how the Allison Hill Wards and the other "Home-Owner" Wards have been heavily burdened by a large increase in property assessment.

Borah, speaking | before more than 2,000 persons who I jammed the armory here Saturday j night, denounced the League of Na itions and declared that it will not ' Americanize Europe, but rather I would Europeanize America. It was , the most spirited meeting hold in J Fort Dodge, the home town of Sen jator Kenyon, in years. The speaker i was constantly interrupted with \ j cheering. I Senator Borah declared that while ihe was speaking in favor of the (adoption of the reservations recom j mended by the committee on Foreign | Delations he himself was opposed to j the League of Nations. "You can't have a League of Na ! tions without destroying Washing ton's policies. "In order to adopt the League of Nations, the United States would have to throw off the policy of Political Advertising BXmUBBTJHG TESLEGHXPB! George Washington.

Denounces Senators Who Are Opposing Treaty Ratification Washington, Sept. 15. —Denounc- ing Senators whose "insidious decla mations poison the public mind," against the German Peace Treaty and the of Nations, Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mexico, speak ing in the Senute to-day, said if the reservations recommended by the Foreign Relations Committee major ity were adopted the Treaty as well as the League Covenant would "fail." "if we ever have a separate treaty with Germany," he declared, "it will be a negotiated and not a victorious treaty. The United States will not participate in restoring and preserv ing peace and bringing order of the world chaos. "The unselfish, the ideal, the al truistic motives which have inspired this League are sufficient induce ments for all the sacrifices and ef forts which we will be called upon to make in carrying out its provis ions." , Senator Jones said that in his opinion reservations .as proposed by Political Advertisement the committee were unnecessary, as I ample protection was afforded by the terms of the Treaty. Article Ten, he continued, is a declaration to the world that war for conquest shall end and that this declaration will be supported by the combined power of all tho other members of the League. Wilson at Seattle Still Professes to See Victory For Treaty Seattle, Sept. 15.—President Wilson Saturday night explained the Peaci Treaty in detail in a speech here, and predicted it would be accepted by America when the people realize what it contained. Ho repeated many of the arguments in favor of ratifications which he has made in other speeches. The greatest demonstration of the evening came when he predicted vic tory for the Treaty. During his speech there was a con tinual uproar from the street. The crowd pounded on the doors demand ing entrance and cheering, "We want Wilson." At a public dinner which President Wilson attended, before going to the arena for his night address, he said he had been impressed by the uni formity of opinion among the pjopic from ocean to ocean. Detailing the purposes for which the United States entered the war as they were set forth and accepted by congress in his war message. Presi dent Wilson said that the issue squarely facing the country in the Treaty debate was whetlier that pro gram should be' carried through or , abandoned. He called to mind also the cost in money and in human life, j by which the War had been won, and asserted that those opposing tho Treaty proposed the sacrifice be of no avail. Pittsburgh Leaders Have No Knowledge of Strike Postponement Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 15.—Union leaders here in the movement to organize iron and steel workers said to-day they had no information that the proposed strike in. the steel industry would be deferred until after the industrial confer ence in Washington October 6. Wil liam 'A. Foster, secretary-treasurer of tho national committee for or ganizing iron and steel workers, re peated his statement of last night that he knew nothing of a postpone ment. Tho announcement calling the men out next Monday, Septem ber 22, was issued in Washington last Wednesday. The national committee will meet hero Wednesday to consider plans for the proposed strike. Samuel Oompers, president of tho American Federation of Labor, is a member of tho committee, but it was not known at union headquarters here whether ho will attend. It is understood here that the ac tion of tho committee in Washing ton last week requesting men not working under agreements not to go to work next Monday was taken before the arrival of the message from President Wilson asking that the striko be deferred until after the industrial conference and it was suggested hero that the information from New York might have been anticipatory of an effort at Wednes day's meeting of the national com mittee to postpone the strike. Mr. Foster said the committee has su preme power in the matter, but he knew of no movement to defer tho strike. An effort to defer the striko, however, is looked for by those closely watching the situution.

Even the small est garden plays not an unimportant part in the reduction of prices of food. It helps to increase the supply, and the greater the supply, the low er, of course, is the price.

I wouhl not favor Steel ton's adopting it unless Harrlsbtirg and the surrounding territory also accepted it. I wish the State as a whole wouhl ndopt it. It should be a national affair. It is to he regret ted that Congress ever passed the bill repealing it." More of the daylight petitions printed by the Telegraph for the committee, urging the movement for next summer are to be had. It is strongly urged that every man who favors the idea come in and get one and place it in a cigar store, grocery store or any other place where peo ple congregate. ' POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Dr. G.
