TENTATIVE REVENUE BILL
RAISED TO $1,65O, OOO, 900

Washington, May 2-Persistent up
ward revision of the tentative draft Of
the war revenue bill by the House
Ways and Means Committee brought
the total today to be raised up to ap-
proximately $1,65O,000,OOO or within
$165,OOO,OOO of the amount originally
suggested by Secretary McAdoo and
refused by a subcommittee.
Plans now are to raise the remain
ing $165,OOO,OOO through consumption
taxes, If necessary or, as last resort,
by tariff changes. Agreement has
been reached to discuss proposed tar
ift increases after all questions have
been disposed of. Hope now exists
that the committee can agree on many
tariff changes without stirring up a
partisan fight.
Partisanship has entirely disappear
ed in the discussion and in some o.
the bitterest arguments Democrats
have been arrayed against Democrats
and Republicans against Republicans
Discussions today centered largel!
about the excess profit tax and de

taxes pay most Of the burden, reliev

ing Representative Fordney, Of Mich

ton would double the present rate.
Proposed taxes on wine and cigar
also were discussed today. A fey

LAMP POST Is URGED TO CURE
FOOD JUGGLERS

Washington, May 2--The rising
sentiment in Congress for legislation
to meet the nations food problems
broke out in the Senate today in a
debate that started ocer the high price
of seeds, but developed into the de-
nunciation of food spectators with
predictions that the best way to deal
with them was to string them to lamp
posts or put them behind prison bars,
Senators from farming states denied
that there is any real shortage vi
staple foods in the United States
Senator John Sharp Williams declared
there had been hystera throughout
the country and that the cause Of high
prices was largely psychological. He
said he believed the German corrup-
ton fund recently unearthed in a
Federal Court in New York may have
been responsible for the hysteria.
Senate Warning Urged
Word should go straight out from
the Senate, Senator Williams said,
that there is no shortage of food.
Senator's Nelson and McCumber
agreed that there is no reason to fear
a shortage.
The attack on the spectators was
led by Senators Thomas and, Borah
The Colorado Senator declared they
were the real enemies of the nation
expressed the hope Congress would
not adjourn without legislation that
would remedy the evil, and said the
lamp post is the thing to cure sucl

Flag Of WORLDS Oldest Republic 20 %
Entwined With Its Allies.
New York.-The managers of the hO-
tells and public buildings that arenoW
decorated with flags Of the allies are
very likely to be brought to task by
some stanch patriot If the flag Of his
country, no matter how small or little
talked of, does not prominently figure
In the scheme.
An excitable stranger accosted n.
Douglass Brown, assistant manager OF
q hotel here, and demanded volubly to
know why a flag Of San Marine was
not with the others In front Of the no.
tel. For awhile the manager was over
whelmed, but finally made out that the
man was one Of the ten thousand odd
inhabitants Of San Marine and that he
and his relatives, making up most Of
the population, wanted it understood
that they and their army Of $50 were
now allies of this vera great countree."
In some distress Of mind Mr., Brown
went to the decorators room, but no
San Marine flag could be found, go a
special order was given, and within a
few days the smallest republic-twenty-
two square miles-and one Of the
worlds oldest, having existed a thou
sand years, will have its place beside
its greater allies.

of the most prominent baseball writers
in Chicago. and a member of Edge
water lodge. was honored at the Cubs
park Saturday, August I. when the
Chicago chapter of the Baseball Writ
ers' association presented him with a
handsome diamond Masonic ring. The
presentation was performed at the
home plate at the end of the second
inning. when Umpire KLEIN stopped the
game long enough to permit the scribes
to come down from the press box.
Players OF both clubs assembled
around Brother Rice when he was pre-
sentcd with the gift. Charles Dryden of
the Examiner, a Shriner and member
of Mcleod lodge Of Ocean Springs.
Miss, made the presentation. Brother

THE MONTANA STATE FAIR.

When the Western Montana Fair
was abandoned for this season. it was
announced that a very special effort
would be made to concentrate on ex-
hibts from this section to the Mon
tana State Fair We hope this purpose
has not been lost TO view. We people
of western Montana should unite in
making the fair the biggest kind of a
success. We should not permit any
thing like community jealousy to him
der or interrupt a general campaign
to furnish the best and largest line of
exhibits.
The state Fair belongs to all Mon
tana, not merely to Helena. 1t is an
annual exposition of the best that
Montana has to show. 1t is visited by
thousands who come from other states
solely to see what progress has been
made in this commonwealth. 1t is an
exhibit of our growth in agriculture
stock raising and the mechanical arts.
Its benefits reach alike to all sections
of the state.
The State Fair should be largely at
tended. We regard 1t as q matter OF
duty for every citizen who can find
the time and money to make tina
visit. 1t is always a fine occasion fol
the renewal of old friendships and for
social enjoyment. II is entertain
ment as well as instructive.
Helena is an attractive and hos
ptable city where guests are wei
cared for. Despite the knocking tha
other cities of Montana sometimes ge
from one branch of the newspaper
press of Helena, we have always found
the people of the Capital city gener-
Gus in their welcome and glad to SEE
us. We hope there may be many en-
changes of warm greetings there mex
month.

They have bought their equipment
with their savings. The forestry COM
mission has furnished the camp site
and the cooking utensils. Everything
will be ready on Saturday but the
transportation. One half Of the number
of cars needed will be on hand but
there must be six others or there will
be thirty boys with sore hearts and
nobody wants that.

UNCLE SAM At THE CAT.

We welcome the news from Wash
ington that the departments Of justice
is preparing to deal swiftly and
severely" with the activities of the
l. w W.
We have been waiting for some
thing of that sort until patience has
become u crime. We have been told
that there was no law to fit the stu :
alton. that new laws must be framed
that men could not be arrested for in
suits to the flag and the government
and that nothing could be done with
these revolutionists who are retarding
the work of the United States in pre-
pairing for war.
Most of this talk. it is true, has
come from office holders who had no
desire to mix in n situation where
votes were concerned and for that
reason their arguments were not con-
vincing. Now, however, things have
reached the point where the govern
ment finds real danger to it's plans for
speedy and effective defeat of Ger
many. No more laws are needed. 1t is
only necessary to arrest and prose
cute these revolutionary leaders on the
charge of conspiracy to stop or cur
tail industries whose continuation is
essential to the prosecution of the
war.
1t would be strange indeed if no way
could be found to handle these people
who are retarding the harvesting Of

How : Submarine
Is Handled

Every submarine has u commander
generally a captain-who acts as
the very brains Of the ship. No one else
can give orders: for so interconnected
are all the machines, that the conflict
ing commands from more than one Of
ficer would almose surely result in an
accident. Hence every one reports d.
rectly to the captain through the Sec
ond officer in command, who, by the
way, is also responsible tor the correct
operation of everything from the bal
last tanks to the torpedoes.
In making the attack. the captain
mans the periscope in the main op.
tower. The lenses and prisms In the
periscope tube transmit the images
from the sighting-piece above the
water down to the periscope eye
piece.
When the vessel dives the decks are
first cleared, says Popular Science
Monthly. Then the matches are sealed
down and the oil engines stopped, in
quick succession. Storage batteries
are turned on to drive the electric pro-
polling motors. Electric machinery
must be used under water, because the
oil engines consume, precious air and
| exhaust poisonous gases. 49,
On the next word from the captain
water from the outside is allowed to
fill the huge ballast tanks in the CEN
trail hull. Other ballast tanks at the
ends Of the boat are partially filled
to hold the ship on an even keel. This

but not completely. The horizontal
rudders at the stern Of the ship are
used to give. the final touches to the

the diving rudders that the proper
depth can be found Immediately and
