I The delvnti'uent tax carried over iat the beginning of the ye.ir wan approximately $37,000. Some of this : was p.'.id during the May tax 'period and $8,526.36 was 'Paid' tin the November installment. The net due in delinquent tax was .not available to- ; day. Tlbe delinquency for the year is larger thin expected. The Novem ■ ber installment fell blow the May payment, making the amount greater than expeetd, by county olfici'als. i Most of the tax which went delinjquent is made up of small amounts | under SSOO.

PRECEDENT IS I ESTABLISHED BY PRESIDENT,; 11 Hoover Invites Roosevelt > To Confer With Him At Washington — STIMSON TO COOPERATE Washington. Nov. 14. —<U.R) —President Hoover has set a precedent in asking Presidentelect Roosevelt to confer with him here about war debts, disarmament and world economic problems. The immediate incentive ■ ■which prompted Mr. Hoover( (to dispatch the request for a conference from his special! [train en route east was the necessity of an early decision on I European move to obtain a reduc- | (lion in the $11,000,000,000 (B) war 1 , (debt owed to the United States. I This unprecedented conference j, is designed to bring about continu-j ity as the affairs of the nation j change hands as the result of the [, recent election. Bridging of the (, fnnr-mnnth gap has always been a 1 problem in critical times, but never , before has an outgoing President ; invited his successor to a formal i conference to help shape the na- , tion’s policies. : In one sense, the president's pro-1' posal resembles the setting up of 1 a “coalition government," to de- i termlne the course of action to be 1 followed during the next four 1 months. Technically, the creation of a “coalition" de facto government is j not considered in the president's latest move. The coalition governments of, European nations, notably of Great [ Britain, that have functioned from. time to time since the war, have! been the outgrowths of parliamen-; tary conditions in which the bal- , ance of power was so divided that, without a majority, no single party cculd maintain its control.

PONDERS OVER INVITATION TO ARMS PARLEY President-Elect Is Recovering From Strains of Campaigning CONFAB IS ANTICIPATED — By Frederick A. Storm, UP Staff Correspondent Albany, N. Y., Nov. 14. •— (U.R) — Governor Franklin D. [ Roosevelt, recovering from [the strain of a vigorous electoral campaign, considered tojday the responsibility of cooperating in an attempted [ solution of a grave internat- ! ional economic crisis, on the invitation of President Herbert Hoover. Reports at the capitol said the President-elect would make public .tonight his reply to President l Hoover's debt conference invitation. The executive mansion refused to divulge any information and it could not be learned whether the reply would be an acceptance or a ! rejection. Friends of Governor Roosevelt had anticipated the suggestion from Washington for cooperation on matters affecting the foreign policy of the United States, hut the sudden request for a conference By President Hoover came as a ■ distinct surprise in many quarters. Mr. Roosevelt is known to have 1 some decided ideas on debt revisi ion, but from the tenor of his cam- : paign speeches, it is argued that ■ he links such revision with the i question of tariffs In this connecl tion is was recalled today that in I his speech at Sioux City. 10., on I Sept. 29, he said: I “The Grundy tariff has largely extinguished the export market for ■ our industrial and farm supplies; ' it has prevented the payment of [public and private debts to us and [the interest thereon.” “Unless and until this process is (reversed throughout the world,” he ■added, "there is no hope for fuil I economic recovery or future pros- | perity for the United States." The governor is opposed to out- ( right cancellation without reciprocI al benefits to the American people. ' Regarding debts he has said: q"We shall not have to cancel them I —if we are realistic about providing ways and means by which pay. [ment is possible through the pro- > fits arising from the rehabilitation I of trade." | This remark, together with other [ Utterances, lead observers to be- ' lieve that the governor would lend an ear to prosposals to make effec- ■ live the scheme suggested by Al|fred E. Smith, under which debts , !would be wiped off in proportion to .! the amount of goods purchased . frem America by the respective I debtor nations, or any similar scheme which would bring about a restoration of international trade and a flow of profits to this coun- [ try.
