AS an economic issue Mr.. Hubbard

world is the greatest tax that humanity
suffers. We take it that Mr.. Hubbard
came near being an NJ d. instead OF
writer Of elegant prose, for he says:
Study your own case and regulate
your life so that you will possess high

will be abhorrent.
Good, conservative work, either mem

we get this advice; Prize your health;

four blocks wide. / closed all the
windows and watched it until it came
within three blocks of the house. The
air was jet black and the trees and
roofs and timber in an awful mass. I
saw that we were directly in the path
of the tornado, so closed all the up

MONEY MOGULS
OF SENATE Will
BEGIN LABORS

The first night meeting of the ways
and means committee of the senate
was postponed last night until this
eral of the members. Senators Rice
and Brown appeared at the capitol
and talked informally over some of
the work Of the committee
Beginning tonight, Senator Metzger
being back from Hilo, the most seri-
Gus work of the committee during the
session viii begin. The evening meet
ings will be devoted entirely to mold
ing into shape of the two large appro-
priation bills, which means that 1t will
strive to keep down the cost OF gov
eminent and the amount Of loans to
the aggregate of the revenue for the
next two years.
This will mean great deal of slsh-
ing and cutting. and 1t is freely adj
mitted that number Of projects,
which have been strongly urged, will
be left behind
But what these projects are which
are destined to be thrown aside. the
committee does not make known.
1T is too early yet, said Chairman
Rice. "It win be har to say. as a
final statement, what the committee
will leave out until 1t is almost ready
to report on the bills. Different meas
ures are still coming to US calling for
appropriations, and until these are all
in and We can balance up their total
with the total of the revenue. fore
cast on our decision VIM be next to
impossible"
However. the night meetings begin
tonight, and the slashfng and cutting
will begin with 1t, and S. p. 3S may
have more than it's appendix removed
before the report of the committee is
made.
