NAVY MAKES PRoJECI|LEs
First Shells Turned Out by Puget
Sound Yard in Last Three Months.

For the first time in the history Of
the country the United States navy
Is manufacturing projectiles for it's
own use, and to the Puget Sound
navy yard comes the distinction of
turning out the first finished shells.
Without word having been given
out until the other day, the work Of
preparing for the manufacture Of
projectiles was begun at the Puget
Sound yard year ago and pro-
crossed until the actual work of
making three-fnch and six-inch shells
started three months ago. Still un-
heralded, 1t has continued since that
time.
With the development Of shell ma
Ginning at the Sound yard are unfold
ed wonderful possibilities, which on
Gals say may go long way toward
solving the great munitions problems
that confront a warning nation,
should this country be forced into
conflict. and upon which may depend
the future expansion of the yard.
The announcement brought forth
comment that the United States may
not be so unprepared as Is generally
believed.

URGEs SEVERAL CHANGES
IN STATE TAX SYSTEM
Commission FavOrs Graduated In.
heritance Tax on Direct
requests.

Recommendations to the legisla-
ture favoring graduated inheritance
tax rate on requests to direct heirs,
recommending that the state tax
commission be restored to the board
OF equalization, that the present gross
earnings tax on private car compa-
MES be repealed, and that the assess
ment of steamboats, and all regis
tered water craft be placed in the
hands OF the tax commission, are con-
tanned in the biennial report of the
state board of tax commissioners.
The report shows an increase of
considerable proportions in inherit
ance tax collections for the two years.
Under the present law the rate on
direct inheritances is per cent, re-
gardless of the amount of the inner
itance. The commission recommends
that requests to direct heirs of more
than $4,000 be taxed at per cent.
rate, and a graduated rate be fixed
for other amounts, reaching per
cent for inheritances Of $1,OOO,OOO.
With regard to the gross earnings
tax on private car companies, the
commission says in it's report that the
tax is unavoidable, inasmuch as it
has been held to apply to intrastate
business. and no segregation Of in
trastate business and interstate bust
ness is furnished by railroads in their
reports.

STORY Of DARING
SUBMARINE VOYAGE
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER TELLS
DRAMATIC TALE OF RECENT
AUTO TRIP.

James Allen, state highway COM
missioner. has recently returned from
what he claims to be the longest sub.
marine voyage ever made by automo.
bile.
I'VE submerged" he says, ION the
line Of the Pacific highway In tho
neighborhood of Kelso and came tn
the surface again at Toledo. rs miles
away. But for periscope observation
and compass calculation we probably
would have passed under the latter
place and missed 1t entirely.
ION the way we passed numerous
autos apparently suspended in the
depths with CHASTITY faces peering
through the dark yellow substrata
OF Cowlitz county. Once we encoun-
tered what seemed to have been a
drove of cattle that had foundered
with all on board. Something SIM
liar to sausage and the various ingre-
dents of oxtail soup thickened over
the radiator, as we plowed our way
through. Occasionally we salvaged
drifting rancher who invariably
wanted to know if any legislature had
appropriated anything for that part
of the Pacific highway since he was
last on earth,
Cast Him Adrift.
When We had to tell him NO. he
would ask to be cast adrift again, a
request we always complied with,
since there could be no humane OBJ
ject in bringing him back to the sur
face under the circumstances. At
times we ourselves despaired of ever
seeing friends and loved ones once
more.
THAT part of the Pacific highway
is rarified to such an extent that
breathing is not difficult, but the ten
dency TO submerge deeper and deeper
is constant, and without more ade-
quate diving rudders than the auto
mobile is commonly equipped with
the voyage cannot be prudcntly rec
commended. There is not sufficient
gravel in the whole rs miles Of right
of-way to more than slightly irritats
the lungs, but the general effect on
the eyesight is depressing and Z
thorough course Of hydraulic sluic!nr
almost necessary at the conclusion OF
voyage. Otherwise 1t leaves a heavy
alluvial deposit in the disposition.
"At present this part of the Pacific
highway could be delivered by tho
quart and served at the table as easily
as 1t could be utilized for surface
trafic. 1t has the same consistency
and flavor Of boarding house coffee
in Arkansas.
Asking for $3.50, 900.
In 1915 the legislature approrri-
ated $4,000 for its redemption
from Chehalis to Vancouver. This
year we are asking $45O,OO0, which
includes state aid funds from the
government. The cost of building
the road is at least $4,000 a mile on
account Of the heavy clearing in
volved, but the route opens up the

gions in the state.
