of trouble that will help liberate'
mankind, and do not want to be al-1
ways thinking about my skin or mv
pocketbook or my friendships," .the
senator said:
"The trouble is that it is not the.
President's skin that is to be saei'i-j
ficed. It is the skin on the backs of
the American people. It is not the
President's pocketbook that is to be
emptied. It is the pocketbook of
100.000.00 0 Americans.
"Let me give you a little example
of the kind of sacrifices that are made
by officeholders. The President went
over to Paris. He took 1.300 men
over with him. A glass pavilion was
built on a great ship beneath which
he could promenade. He asked Congress
for $5,000,000 to pay the ex-!
penses of this trip. Congress refused,
hut the expenses proceeded. Thev
rented an entire hotel for the modest
sum of $235,000. They paid a laundry
bill of $31,583. and vet did not
wash all the dirty linen."
Citing programs for an army of
509,000. which he said tho administration
had planned to meet oblign-,
tlons under the league of nations.'
he said it showed the purpose of thleague.
"The truth Is. we are making a league
of war." he declared. "We pro-J
pose to unite with five great nations
to control the affairs of the world.
This Tenures armies and navies of
tremendous magnitude, for the people
of the country will never submit
to the dictation. What does th
United States gain from this? She
does not seek territories; she does not .
seek lands. All of her principal associates
in the league are grabbing
lands and people in every quarter of
the globe. We propose to pour our
dollars into their coffers and altar
of their ambitions. This is what',
the President is pleased to call sar- ^
riflces." ! ,

figures just compiled by the South

The total assessment value of railroad
property for 1919, as fixed by
the tax commission, is $48,306,218.

worth $115,014,805.
The returns of railroads have all
been made to the tax commission for
this year. In each case the return
fills a large volume of figures. It covers
the value of truckage, of depots,

houses and shops, and other bullrings,
of tools and machinery, and of
and. Rolling stock is not included in
the tax returns of railroads.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 2.?Quoting'
from pre-war and later speeches of
President. Wilson, Senator Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri, speaking here
in opposition to the league of nations,1
said the President had reversed his
4 Vivn opinions In order to support the
league proposal.
"The American people have been
led generally to believe that the league
is formed for our benefit and
that its pupose is to keep America!
out of war." said Senator Reed. "As'
a matter of fact, the league is form-|
ed for the benefit of other nations j
and is not to be maintained largely,
at the expense of the American peo-l
pie."
The President has "convinced himself
that it is the business of American
statesmen to sacrifice America on
the altar of humanity "he asserted.
Referring to Mr. Wilson's remark at ,
Reno. New, during his recent tour,
that he wanted "to get into any kind j
