SPEED UP
ALL WORK
ON ships
[Rv Associatad Prassn

Icy ASSOCIATED PTSSS.)
Washington, April 23.-Railroad and
steamship line representatives are
comforting today with the council of
National defense on the councils pro-
posals to place coastwise vessels in
the transatlantic service. If it is
found ships can be taken from the
coastwise trade without a severe dis
arrangement of mail schedules and
service, 1t is possible many will be put
to transporting supplies to the allies.
The government expects within a
short time to increase materially avail
able trans Atlantic tonnage by putting
on the damaged German and Austrian
ships, by completing many steel YES
sells building in the country's yards
and by finishing the first ships of a
great fleet of wooden vessels to be
built.
The steel building shipyards, 1t is
said, could speed up their work on
merchant ships considerably If they
were able to obtain more Steel In
view of this the navy department is
considering delaying for a time some
naval construction to hurry merchant
shipbuilding. Thirty thousand tons of
steel put into a warship, 1t is said, will
produce more than twice that amount
of merchant tonnage. Yards in every
| part of the country are responding to
| the shipping boards call for wooden
ship construction. Capitalists are re-
facilitating yards that have lain idle
since the old days of wooden ships,
when the nited States was the fore
most shipbuilding country in the
/ world.
| Wooden ships, as turned out, will be
taken over and operated by the ship
ping board but steel ships building
| will be left in private hands.
The shipping board will have intro
duced in congress this week bill to
give the president power to deny for
eign registry to ships building in this
country for foreign capital. =. ...

Yakima, Wash, Republic: William
Foresman, at the age of SO, raises
vegetables enough for families which
have twelve mmebers. and has consid-
cradle stuff left to sell and plenty of
time to enjoy life. His gardening is
carried on much as though il were his
recreation and yet 1t brings returns so
held up as an example to people who
are burdened by the high cost OF living
and who. under existing circumstances,
heavier. What Mr. Foresman is doing
almost any family in his town could
do which, has one or two able-bodied
members, even though these have reg
ular occupation in business or as wage
earners. Vacant lots for gardening
purposes are almost everywhere avail
able, and now is the time to make
plans for utilizing them.

BARS FURTHER LET DOWN
Interior Department Says Auditor
May Get Tax From Restricted Land.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 19.-Full
permission has ben granted to f. b.
Howard, state auditor, to inspect all
records pertaining to gross production
tax on restricted Indian lands in a let
ter which Mr.. Howard received from
Secretary Lane of the interior depart
ment today. Mr.. Howard will send
Bruce OFT of Yukon to Washington
Immediately to check up on the pro-
duction of oil with the intention of
asserting the states right to the gross
production tax.
1t is the contention of the state
auditor that, regardless of the fact
that the oil is produced from Indian
restricted land. the state is entitled to
the gross production tax. Just as is
being collected from commercial
leases; that just because oil is being
produced thru a federal agency docs
not In itself exempt the production
from the gross production tax.
