The Division of Information of the

ma City, Oklahoma, to find out whether
or not employment will be available

lahoma about June to 10.
Kansas.
1t is estimated that Kansas will need
about $4,000 men from without the
state for the wheat harvest this sea-
son; wages will probably range from
ZOO to $500 per day, with board ant
lodging, according to experience and
class of wark at which engaged. Har-

surprise party for Tacoma
arranged by Uncle Sam, was
staged this morning on the ar
rival In the city of representa-
tives of the u. S. shipping board
who proceeded to establish here
a free government school in navi-
cation for the training of Off.
GERS for the merchant marine.
The school will fit men for
mates positions on the new ma
tional fleet of cargo ships now
being built.
The Jobs for which men ere
sought command very high pay,
as mates in the Atlantic trade
are now receiving war bonuses on
their wages of from 100 to $50
per cent a month.
This brings their earnings up
to between 5000 and 1915 q
month, according to grade and the
size of the ship.
All Surprise.
No previous announcement had
been made that Tacoma was to
have a school to train men for
these important roles in the war
service of the nation. 1t had been
announced that Washington
would get one of the 80 naviga-
ton schools in the chain estab-
lished by the shipping board,
and one of the seven engineer
ing schools.
The engineering school for
this state, established in July at
the University of Washipgto
Seattle, has already turned out
one class, and its graduates are
at sea. Another class is to be
started Sept. 4.
There had been a report from
Washington that Seattle was to
get the navigation school also,
and the fact that Tacoma was
the favored port developed only
on the arrival here today of the
shipping boards representatives.
These are Alfred E. Burton,
dean of the Massachusetts, lnsti-
tute of Technology and head of
the shipping boards educational
staff, and Winfield M. Thompson,
field agent of the boards recruit
ing service.
University Helping.
They at once got into touch
with business men of Tacoma,
who will cooperate in starting the
school.
Mr.. Thompson announced that
the Tacoma school will be con-
Quoted jointly by the shipping
board and the University of
Washington. President Henry
Suzzallo of that institution has
been heartily in accord with the
boards program for training the
number of officers required by

WAR TAX
MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. -
With wealth CONSUMPTION forces
in the senate threatening long
drawn battle, efforts were launch
ed today to effect compromise
on the war tax bill.
The plan subscribed to by many
friends of the committee measure
and "conscriptionists" is as fol-
lows:
Elimination of all consumption
taxes.
Increase the amount to be raised
by the bill to $2,350,0O0,000.
Supply the consumption tax
deficit and the general tax in
crease by heavier draft upon in
comes and war profits.
"A number of us have agreed
that public sentiment demands a
larger share of the financial bur-
den of the war to be laid on
wealth and the common people re-
lieved of additional taxation on
necessaries of life," said Senator
King, Utah, heretofore supporting
the committee bill.
He predicted passage of the
amendment introduced by Senator
Hills increasing surtares on In.
comes to provide $200,O00,000
more than is raised by the COM
mittee bill.

Tacoma Best Adapted.
Mr.. Thompson, in an interview,
threw some light on the cause Of
the brief notice given Of the
opening Of the school.
I'VE canvassed the claims Of
the various ports in the state be-
fore reaching a decision in favor
of Tacoma" he said. 1--WE be-
lieve this city best suits our pur-
pose. We wish to reach seagoing
Americans of mature years, who
wish to better their condition by
making themselves licensed Off
GERS in the merchant service.
Seattle has we'll established
private school in navigation which
turns out about 20 licensed men a
month, and we believed this
would take care of the demand
for instruction in that city. II
there are any seamen In Seattle
who wish to be trained for Off
GERS positions by the government,
they may come to Tacoma. We
shall have class capacity here
of 80.
Evening classes for the bene-
fit of Tacoma men who work
daytimes will be held II suffi-
cient number of applicants appear.
only men who have had two
years seafaring experience will
be accepted for admission to the
Tacoma free navigation school.
The term is six weeks, during
which a student is expected to
Find" himself.
No Enlistment.
At the end of the term, those
who pass their examinations, IL
fitted by experience to begin at
once the duties of a mate. will
be sent to sea as regular officers
Immediately on receiving their
licenses.
Those who wish further train
ing will be shipped as special
junior officers on ocean-going
ships for two months intensive
training before being regularly
licensed. During this time they
will be paid SIS a month.
There is no enlistment as in
the navy, but all men trained by
the shipping board are expected
to come forward for service in the
Atlantic trade. Whether they go
into the war zone or not will be
optional.
The board is seeking 5000
mates for the new ships to be
com missioned in the next IS
months, and 5000 engineers. 1t
is training the men required, in

Great Opportunity.
1T is great opportunity we
present to American seamen,"
said Mr.. Thompson. And expe-
rienced man. more than 10 years
of age, with good vision and
hearing, can get into one of our
schools, II he is citizen. We
cannot take 'declarants. "
The minimum qualifications for

lows:
