National Political NeUs

Washington, d. c., Oct, Letters
and kilograms of protest against the
various items of the proposed war
revenue tax law are coming from Dav-
export, Muscatine, Ottumwa and other
points in southeastern Iowa to Senator
Kenyon's Office and to the several con-
gressmen. Bankers are alarmed at the
extra burden of 50 per thousand dollars
of bank capitalization; insurance men
want to avoid the tax on insurance.;
great numbers of dealers and users
want the gasoline tax stricken out of
the bill.
Considering the possibilities of the
subject, the administration has been
pretty successful thus far in shutting
off discussion by it's majority in the
house of the Japanese menac in rela-
ton to the Philippine autonomy bill.

up the democrats a bit with his open
ing speech in opposition to the bill,
but as the debate continues the peril
is pretty generally sidestepped. Not

gresham, d. j. McGillicuddy, a lawyer

a satisfaction to protectiOnists that his
total vote was LOO less than two
years ago. There were three candi-

his own, making him a representative
of the minority in the second con
gress district, which comprises the
counties of A~ndroscoggin, Franklin,
Knox, Lincoln, oxford and S%agadahoc.
When the factions units on the issue
of protection two years from now there
will be no free-trade representative
from Maine. The split is unfortunate,
as it is not a disagreement on the tar
iff, but on issues brought into the cam
paign by the progressives.
The other Maine congressman were
reelected by large majorities, and the
state is sound on protection and the

requires the captain of a ship to stay

weather, no matter how long it con-

read in dispatches that the captain, OF
this or that ship had been on the
bridge for "a or 4S or even 60 hours at
a stretch because of storm or fog. Why
Should this be practiced? The most
