CHICAGO 13 GETTING TOO GAY
"When an American city defies the
rational government it is about time
to find out whether we are going to
have federal rights prevail or have
the states and cities tell Uncle Sam
to 'so to."
Months aso th war department
told the city of Chicago V.iat it must
meter its water that under the
present system citizens have all the
lattittnie possible in u-dug the max
iimnn supjdv, whereas if the water
were metered as it is in almost every
Cither citv the consumption would
verv materially decrease. Xot only
that but the department said tLat
the present flow of about ten thou
sand cubic feet per second would only
be allowed to continue if the meter
ordinance were put into effect that
if the department's fat were not
obeyed the How would be cut down
to between four and five thousand
feet.
Mayor Thompson, who evidently
believes be has higher powers than
the president, has defied the depart
ment, ar.d added the comment that
the Republican party docs not dare
do a thins. We don't know whether
the r.iavor will be vindicated in his
statement, hut if such a thins could
come to pass we would be inclined
to join the communists.
The question narrows itself down
to whether Mayor Thompson is go
ing to run the United States or the
du!y constitutior.ed authorities. The
middle west would like to find out.

WE'EE GREAT GAMBLERS
Americans are great gamblers. The
hidden chances lure us, the pot of
gold at the foot of the rainbow, the
millions to be made from small in
vestments. Tor every ten people willing- to
take a chance, there is one who lies
'awa!;e nishts scheming to fool them
Irresponsible and crooked promoters
of g-rt-rich-quiek real estate projects,
gilt-edged but unsupported stocks,
and a thousand other "dreams" find
there are just as many suckers now
adays as there used to be three-shell
victims at the county fairs. It has
been remarked by a sagacious banker
that you could even sell a gold brick
in America "if you ha I a nice ccrti-
tficate tct go with it."
One of the new schemes that has
been worked to a frazzle in several
cities recently is the "hidden key."
Promoters of some new subdivision
hide on the property a key that opens
a mysterious "prize box" in the
tract office. The prize is valuable
mav be a diamond ring, automo-
bile, or you can't tell what. Anyway,
same Jr .
a nice shiny sedan stands in front
jof the subdivision office. That's the
V ' worm.
Jj Hundreds flock to the lots and go
5 'over them tooth and nail hunting the
ikcv to the treasure box. Eventually
the key is found and the box opened.
;The lucky one is rewarded. Reward

NEW TEST FOR THE DAWES PLAN
The third year of operation of the
Dawes plan has come to an end. So
far, Germany has been able to meet
all claims promptly, and the trans
fers of funds to her creditors has
been made without disturbing the
exchange. Reparation payment for
the past 12 months amounted to 1.
r.00, 000.000 marks, or 300,000,000
more than in the seccmd year. For the
coming year the schedule calls for
2.500.000.000, or in round numbers
$600,000,000. This sum is more than
double the payments called for in the
second year.
Since the increase during the next
12 months is comparatively slight,
there shotild be no great difficulty in
meeting all claims, especially as only
P0. 000. 000 mark's of the additional
payments will be charged against the
general budget. In his last report S.
Parker Gilbert, the Agent General
for Reparations, refused to accept
the- pessimistic views of the Reich
strg and of German cabinet officers
with regard to Germany's ability to
meet her obligations during- the
coming year, but he also showed
much concern over the outlook for
the fifth and subsequent years. In
the fifth year, beginning with Sep
tember, 192S, the payments will in
crease by 750.000,000 marks ($1S0,
000.000), and the whole of this sum
win be placed in the budget.
Mr. Gilbert finds the real difficulty
in the present condition of the Ger
many Treasury. Revenues have been
increasing, but expenditures have
tended to outrun them. "Within the
past fourfears the military and nav
al outlay has increased fio per cent.
The greatest drain on the revenues,
however, comes from the financial
connection of the Reich with the lo
cal governments, which absorb near
ly a third of the federal revenue, re
gardless of their particular needs. To
balance its budget for the past fiscal
year the government had to borrow
and also to draw upon its surplus of
the preceding year. Clearly, then, the
outcome of the first real test, in
1P2S-29, depends on the willingness
or the ability of the government to
set its financial house in better order,
or. as Mr. Gilbert puts it, to observe
"the normal precautions that are
necessary in its own interest."
There also remains the question
whether, if Germany is able to pay
the extra ?1SO,000,000, in the fifth
year, its transfer can be effected
without upsetting the exchange. Un
til recently the transfers have been
facilitated by the pegging of the
mark. The removal of this artificial
aid and the larger sums which will
have to be handled have caused ex
perts to doubt whether the Dawes
plan will work so smoothly in 192f
Nevertheless, the absorption powers
of Germany's creditors have exceeded
expectations. The operations are so
unprecedented that one would be rash
to prophesy what will happen when
the plan meets its first test of per
manence. :o:
LEVELING THE WALLS
Another indication that the Eu
ropean trade barries are crumbling
appears in the steps now being taken
by the Spanish government to liber
alize Its tariff law. Many people,
perhaps, will recall a tariff may of
Europe published some 10 months
ago, which showed the countries sur
rounded by walls of varying height.
The higher the wall around any coun
try the higher its tariff. The wall
around Spain was one of the highest
in Europe, being topped only by that
around Russia. The Spanish wall was
six times as high as the British and
nearly twice as high as the German.
Preparations to lower this con-
spiciously high wall thus have a
special interest. The Spanish gov
ernment is reported to be planning
special reductions on goods whose
importation will tend to stimulate
domestic business. Provision is also
to be made for extending a schedule
of minimum duties to the products
of countries executing reciprocal
trade agreements with the Spaniards.
This announcement, following the
negotiation of new commercial treat
ies between Germany and France and
Germany and Japan which call for
mutual tariff concessions, supplies
further evidence that Europe is turn
ing from its restrictive trade policies
of the post-war period and is begin
ning to see that co-operation is more
conducive to national welfare than
exclusiveness.
