Navy Aviator Formerly Stationed at
Pensacola Makes First Flight
Over Vera Cruz.

Pensacola.-Lieut. Jack Towers, Sc
nior aviator at the Pensacola naval
station, in his Owl flying boat bears
the distinction of being the first aVia-
tor to make a fight over the country
surrounding Vera Cruz, and not only
demonstrated that this type of flying
machine is capable of remaining IN
the air for a long period but also that
the flying machine is invaluable IN
war times.
1t was the first time flying ma
chine had actually been used IN time
of conflict and it is believed that TINS
act alone will impress upon the au-
thorities the necessity of providing
the money asked by the commander
of the areonautic school at Pensacola
with which to develop aeronautics.
Plans calling for the expenditure OF
several million dollars have been SUD-
mitted to the naval department for
the developing of the station here' as
we'll as for the manufacture OF ma
chimes and if granted will make this
the greatest aviation center in the

OPIUM sMUGGLERS ACTIVE.
Daily Attempts to Bring Drug Across
Border From Mexico.

AOkOCA Ao4k >'@SAA~Ss
- Opium smugglers are especially ac-
tive along the Mexican boundary at
present and hardly day passes that
the treasury department does not re-
ceive reports of attempts to bring
opium from Mexico into the United
States. The boundary line between
California. and Mexico is the most
popular place with dealers in the
|contraband drug and the automobile
has been adopted by smugglers as
the most successful means of eluding
inspectors
Mexico is normally very slack in
regulating traffic across the border
and the war situation makes the
work OF the opium smugglers espec'
ially easy insofar as Mexican officials
are concerned. United States inspec.
tors, however, have landed scores Of
smugglers behind the bars at great
risk of life.

BURDEN on RIGHT SHOULDER
England Heavily Taxed Under Her
Armament. Rich to Pay Penalty.

The British government finds that
for the next year it has to raise some
s47,O00,ooe more. than last year to
meet the increased expenditure caus-
ed by building more war ships, and
other demands. In providing for
this the Chancellor Of the Exci1equer
Lloyd-George, has brought in poor
mans budget. The Increased taxa
alton will not fall on the working
classes, but on those who have a
broad back-the rich. They will have
to pay a: larger income tax: reaching
In some cases as much as twelve and
one-half per cent. Death duties are
also increased, so that in the case OF
large fortunes .beQueathed the tax
will be twenty per cent.
OF course the great landed pro-
prietors are setting UP a great howl
especially those who have been get
ting rich by the unearned increment,
because they are specially hit by the
budget: 1t is quite a new thing for
the wealthy in England to have to
bear tho burden Of taxation for hith-
erto they have very cheerfully put
the burden upon the working classes.
That the budget is in favor Of the
nasses-as- against the few is. fuFther
seen in the fact that very large pro-
portion of the Increased taxation is
to be- applied to education, olf age
pensions, insurance, hygiene, and
good roads.
. TO us in America it IS gratifying
to see how Great Britain is becoming
democratic by leaps and bounds and
that in so doing the lot Of the toll
ing masses is made rar more toler-
able. The aristocracy. Of course,
does not like it but all the same they
will stick fast to the country Not
even Mr.. Astor or the other Amerl-
cans who make England their home
that they may touch elbows with
MOBILES and royalty will be induced
to leave.
