around the deck but once in a
while they would break loose and
slide from one side OF tne galley to
the other. The galley deck is tile
and when it has water on it, it IS
as slick as glass. A bunch of cooks
would take after them but they
couldn't keep from sliding and if
one fell he would keep on sliding.
Two soldiers were washed over

thru another storm like that. The
Captain said he expected TO see the
ship go down under one of those big
waves, so he decided to turn her
around until the storm abated some.
That was the only chance and that
peer one. Turning around in
hrsvy sea is about as bad a thing
as cne can do but he did it and
she sure came around nicely, only
took two bread sides but they pret-

PRETTY SMALL
TRICK

Elton Hurd, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. A. Hurd, for a few minutes was
the proudest boy in Payette Coun-
ty when On the last day Of the open
season for shooting pheasants, he
suoc eded in killing his first phea-
SAINT Just as it was getting dark,
on his uncle's farm. But met with
the greatest disappointment of his
life when some unscrupulous soonn-
drel who was hunting nearby, took
the bird away from him. 1t is lucky
for the low down culpret that the
boys father, who went in search,
did not find him. He might have
got what the pheasant got.

MAIL ZONE RATES TO GO

Senate Votes to Restore Old Seized.
ule; La Toilette Has Substi-
tute Measure to Offer.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-By adopting
| the Finance Committee amendments to
| the Was Revenue bill affecting second
class postage and insurance companies,
the Senate yesterday cleared the way for
disposal of the few other contested but
important features remaining. Leaders
now have increased confidence OF passing
the bill before adjournment next Monday.
BY a vote Of 81 TO %, the Senate ap-
proved the committee amendment propo.-
ing repeal next July of the present sone
system of second class postage rates and
substitution of rate Of | cent pound
within $50 miles and y cents beyond.
Most of the day was spent in spirited dis
cussion of this amendment and the one
by Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee for q
modified zone plan, which was rejected
without a roll call.
The Senate also approved the commit
tee plan for new rates on casualty. fire.
marine and other insurance companies,
except life insurance. The new rates,
based on premium receipts, are, respective
ly: Fire insurance companies, "a per
cent; casualty, plate glass. and similar
companies, | L2 per cent and marine. u
per cent on inland and Ia per cent on
export policies.
Disposal of these and many minor adj
ministrative and vcrbisgo changes left
virtually only the income, war excess
profits, inheritance and luxury tax sec
tions to be considered.
A substitute for the committees bill,
proposing large tax increases, principally
on big incomes annd war-excess profit,
was introduced late in the day bv Senator
La Toilette, Republican, of Wisconsin,
who is expected to make lengthy address
today in its behalf Senator Jones, Demo
crat, of New, Mexico. plans to advocate
an amendment 10 continue war profits
taxation through 1920, and Senator Thorn
as, Democrat, of Colorado is expected TO
propose elimination of the inheritance
tax provisions, with Senator KENYON of
Iowa and others prepared to urge rein
sertion Of the 20 per cent tax on luxliries
Besides these questions, that of pre-
scribIng 1920 tax rates, opposed hy Re-
publcans, remains for disposition
Disposal OF the second-class postage
section was regarded as removing a con
siderable obstacle from the bills path.
Senators Hardwick Of Georgia and Me-
kellar Of Tennessee led the fight on the
committee amendment, which was dc
Tended by Senator Smoot OF Utah. Op-
ponents charged that second-class publ
cations were granted large government
mail subsidy while Senator Smoot
declared the present zone system tended
TO foster undesirable sectionalism and
would drive many small publications out
of business
