GERMAN CABINET TAKES UP ULTIMATUM BERLIN, March 3.—The German cabinet went into executive session} late this afternoon for the purpose of examining the official private re- ports transmitted by Dr. Simons, the foreign minister at the conclusion of Tuesday's session of the London| conference with the Allies. The com-| plete text of the foreign minister's | speech has not yet been published | here, and the excerpts from it con- tained in the evening newspapers show slight variation Dr. Simons’ reference to the jection of the pro- posed export tax, for instance is not entirely clear.

European nations-he said, were in- environs recently. streets. what fear mean: The incident occurred during the Polish outbreak in Upper Silesia last year. Stettler, then associated With Colonel Goodyear of Buffalo, N. Y., on the American coal commision, was helping Goodyear to clear up the up- rising. He had been across the line into Poland, located priséners dragged ‘off by the Poles, and also a large group of men, women and children long interned in the same camp. Having had good relations with th the German and Polish sides, Stettler was able to induce. the Pol- ish commandant to surrender the prisoners, as the basis for later ne- gotiations toward an armistice. With difficulty he obtained a train for refuges, and had reached the border line where the hatred between Poles and Germans was particularly bitter. A mob collected as the train pulled in. Each car bore an Amer- fean flag. The crowd grew vicious, threatening to massacre group of prisoners. Here is where the American flag, the bluff come in. Taking a Polish interpreter with him, and carrying a little American flag in one hand and his revolver in the other, he proceeded to tell the Pol- ish leader something. “This train is under American pro- tection,” he said, “and if you shoot the whole captain, the nerve and the upon it, you are shooting at America.

And Stettler still carrying his flag and revolver, stood on the platform as the train headed into Germany— unmolested. 4 é Separate Tax In Six States WASHINGTON, March 3.—Under an opinion of Attorney General Pal- mer, made public today by the treas- ury, husband and wife living in any of the six states having “‘community property” laws may, in rendering separate income tax returns, each re- port’ as gross income one-half of the income derived from the community property.

Carey in regard to En- rollea Act 92 of the Sixteenth legisla- ture, which wag original House Biil 225 and which provides for purchase by the state for $50,000 of the Sai toga hot springs, and by his similar course in regard to provisions of oth- er legislative acts, The governor on!: partly approved the Saratoga.springs purchase act, coupling his approval with a veto of the tax levy of on2- tenth of one mill for each of the year 1921 and 1922 for which the bill pro- vided and with substitution for the one-tenth mill levy of a levy of ono- sixteenth mill, which his seml-ve: message states will be sufficient to provide the fund which the levy 1s designed to raise. In taking this ac- tion the governor is said to have mov- ed on the advice of the attorney gen- eral that it was within the executive authority to make such a change in the act. Governor Carey's reforming of the Hot Springs purchase act—his substi- tution for the wording approved by the legislature of wording approved by the executive but not submitted to the legislature nor, acted upon by the legislature—is said to, be predicted on the precedent set by his father, Joseph M. Carey, while the latter was governor of the state from 1911 to 1915..The elder governor Carey, on the advice of the then attorney gen- eral Dovglas A. Preston, established the precedent of reducing legislative appropriations of the magnitude of which he did not approve. If an ap- propriation were considered excessive or unwise but some appropriation for the purpose designated were consider- ed necessary and wise, the elder gov- ernor Carey would not veto the entire appropriation, but would veto @ por- tion of it, leaving a smaller amount available for the purpose to which thé legislature had dedicated the greater appropriation. This executive proeed: ure was not questioned and officials of the then state administration were governed by the act as changed by the executive prerrogative. The present Governor Carey’s pro- cedure in regard to the Hot Springs purchase act goes a step beyond tI former Governor Carey's procedure IRIS ORCHESTRA: to Have Acted on Advice of Attorney General in - “Reforming” Legislation CHEYENNE, March 3.—Has the chief.executive of the state authority to reform legislation—to change the word- ing of legislative acts—in his exercise of. the veto power? essed in another way, might be, Has the chief exeecutive legislative authority ? Th question has been raised by the course of Governor jhe undertakes both to reduce an ap- propriation provided by the legislature and to change the language of the leg- islative act in order that there shall be availible a lesser amount of money. than it was the legislative intention to make available. The legislature's intention to levy on all taxable, prop- the basis of the assessed valuation of property in the state in 1920, the sum of $26,554 for each of the years 1921 and 1922, or a total of $53,108, this being $13,108 more than the amount necessary to complete the: purchase of the springs property. The effect of the semi-veto of the governor would be, therefore, to reduce the amount available for development of the springs property during the next two years from $44,972 to $13,108, the re- duction being $31,864. The figures cit- ed are hypothetical, of course, the as- sessed valuation of taxable property in the state in 1921 and 1922 being at this time unknown and the amouat which a specified levy on such valua. tion would raise therefore unknown, but tha assessed valuation of 1920 may be accepted as a fair basis for cal- culation. Whether the question of the execu- tive’s authority to change the levy provided by the legislature will be rals- ed in such manner as to call for deter- mination by the supreme court of whether the governor has, or has not exceeded the constitutional authority of his office, is a matter purely of surmise. The precedent established vy the governor's. action, however, is bound to attract widespread attention and may be the basis fcr future execu- tive action making necessary a call upon the supreme court to define the EE ae THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1921 HAOING GEN GREAT ATION Continued from Page 1.)
