Pay Germany or the War Firaice j If Germany doesn't pay, France must In effect, this is the reply of a large section of the press of the United States to those economists who insist that the war bill presented to Ger many by the Allies 226,000,000,000 gold marks payable in forty-two years, plus a 12 per cent export tax is more than that nation can pay. "The astonishing fact is that it does not seem to have occurred to these British and American pleaders for Germany that if she does not pay for the devastation she methodically wrought, her victims must," exclaims the Philadelphia North American, which points out that "when it is argued that the sum demanded" in repara tions should be reduced, this means precisely that sufferers from her aggression shall be penalized to the extent of the remission." On the other hand, some editors are convinced that the Allies are demanding more than Germany can pay. "France wants Germany's blood, and it deserves Germany's blood, but it must get t by transfusion, not by murder," remarks the Louisville Courier-Journal. "Ger many can never pay the 226,000,000,000 gold marks indemnity," exclaims the Seattle Times, and the New York Evening World characterizes the reparations programme as "amazing and impossible." v The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, February 19th, covers this subject very comprehensively, and shows public opinion of every shade as reflected in the news paper press.

In less than five minutes the motor coda was amended and passed by the house Thursday after noon. The bill contains 47 printed pages snl affects every person In Oregon who owns or uses an automobile, and yet it was passed without debate and with the briefest of explanations. Compare how this really important piece of legislation skidded through the house with the time consumed in debating lake bottoms, salary in creases tenure and fish. However, the senate can be depended on to hold a debate and possibly make amendments and send the bill back to the house. In this motor code is the new system of licensing and tha regula tion of trucks as to tire width and sneed. Tha only statement made when this big and bulky bill appeared for third reading was an announcement tnat someone had "ahoo-flied" the weight schedule prepared by W. D. Dennis after the committee had adopted it and had slipped into the code an en tirely different schedule. Consent of th house was asked to amend the bill on the spot by restoring the Den nis plan and this was done. Next th bill was passed with 88 votes. The license fees as passed by tne house follow: Electric, vehicles for pleasure, $23. Electric vehicles for commercial pur- Dose. S33.

This authorised the state highway commission to spend 7,000.000. This sum, with tne iz,- 00,000 which Is tied up in the Roose velt highway law until 1823. reaches the constitutional limitation of road bonds. The bond bill may be rail roaded tbroosi thp -hooso tomorrow. as the house Is giving the right of way to road legislation at last. Also there Is a new gasoline tax law, placing another cent per gallon on motor fuel for motor vehicles. Th bill exempts gasoline used for motor boa's and tractors, the purchaser of gasoline not used for motor vehicles making an affidavit for his rebate. Some of the lawyers in the house said that this waB so unconstitutional that it will not hold water. The motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill was killed author izing the highway commission to re locate roads is still on the table. The commission, if this bill is passed, can find a solution to the Polk county row. A- delegation of Polk county citizens came to Salem and talked things over with the highway com missioners. Each side believes itself in the right, and there is no compro mise in sight yet.
