Governor Philip received a letter
from Allan R. Hawley of New York
city, president of the Aero Club Of
America, stating that B. R. Hassell of
Milwaukee offered to give his standard
type flying boat to the naval militia of
Wisconsin. Mr. HasseII suggested
that the boat be used as a nucleus for
an aerial department of the Wisconsin
National Guard. Mr.. HawIey said in
his letter that if no state funds were
available for employing a mechanic to
drive the boat and for its maintenance,
the Aero Club of America would con-
tribute $500 toward a fund Of $4,000, to
be raised by public subscription

U. S. Marine Corps to Have Exhibit.

Among the new attractions at the

United States marine corps. It will
be in a large tent 10 the right OF the

The chief aim of this branch Of the
national defense in presenting the ex-
hibit is to give a better understanding
on the character Of the marines, their
equipment, their duties, what they
have done in American wars; what
they have done for many other coun-
tries with which America was not al

Arclamp trimmers frequently find
it difficult to lower the arc lamp on a

the lamp crashed into by passing

MURPHY CENSURES
BUNDLE DAY AID
Wholesale Charity Abused,
Saws COmmiSSiOner-Op-
portunity Plea.

81 believe that our bundle-to-the-
POOR system has been seriously abused.
Wholesale charity is always open TO
abuse Reports show that many Of our
so-callcd poor and presumably needy
have taken advantage Of the good
heartedness Of others in this city"
John Murphy, Commissioner Of the
Department of Tenements, delivered
the above statement at a meeting OF
the Economics Club Of Columbia Uni
versity Yesterday. 81 doubted the eff
cheney Of such wholesale charity when
the scheme was suggested, and | am
still in doubt. No temporary pallia-
tives arc worth while. No temporary
palliatives get to the root Of the un-
employment situation. They are likely
to corrupt rather than aid, and not un-
Ill our unemployed men and women are
able TO help themselves will this city,
this country and the entire world get
70 the bottom of the situation. Action
is necessary. and action that in it,
very nature is radical.
ABILITY does not count in obtaining
T. lob. Opportunity has been shut off.
No generation has any right TO deal
away the rights Of the generation 10
follow. Yet by the treatment of the great
natural resources OF the United states
during the last century there are a
million poor men to a hundred rich
men. And all because few have
grabbed what is the common property
of all"
There should be no such thing as an
income tax on the salaries Of New York
citizens, said the Commissioner. I'm
pose an income tax and there will be a
wholesale packing up and moving to
some neighboring city where there is
10 such tax.
"All taxes that are now being lev
led should be abolished" said the Com
missioner. There is hardly anything
more absurd than supporting our pub
lie school system on taxes derived
from the liquor business. Our saloons
will soon be able to hang out red, white
and blue flags and state and city ban
ners TO show how utterly dependent the
government is on them. ] say that
the government should be supported

themselves created. | urge tax on
