Body to Make Investiga.
ton of Proposed System
Work To Be Done Sept. /
Great Economy Is Expected
From Capitalization of
the Nations Expenditures
Ne,o York Tribune

Washin gton Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 7-Further
evidence that Congress really intends
to institute a programme of economy
for the next two years was furnished
to-day when the Senate Rules Commit
tee reported for passage the McCor-
mick resolution to create budget COM
mittee.
There is little doubt that the Senate
will adopt the resolution without delay,
the committee to be composed Of six
Republicans and four Democrats. 1t
is probable that either Senator Smoot,
of Utah, or Senator Mccormick, of Hi
nois, author of the resolution, will be
named chairman.
AS indicating that something is to be
done even more important than order
ing the appointment Of a committee
to study the problem is the provision
that the committee must make it's re-
port to the Senate before September /.
Smoot Slated for Chairman
Because of his intimate knowledge of
all appropriation matter Senator
Smoot, it is thought, would make the
better chairman. Except for the in
sistence OF Warren, Of Wyoming, Smoot
would have been made chairman of the
Appropriations Committee. The crca-
ton of a budget committee will af-
ford the Republican leaders an oppor-
tunity to smooth out whatever sore
ness was left over the failure to give
Smoot an important craftsmanship.
Senator Mccormick is author of half
dozen or moro bills dealing with the
budget question. He has made con-
siderable study of the subject AS a
member Of the House in the last Con-
gress he presented number of budget
measures, but the Democratic majority
was dlsinclined to give them consid-
Grafton.
The steering committees of both the
House and Senate have Endorsed the
adoption of a budget system for all
government appropriations. No doubt
the steering committees will be con-
suited by the Budget Committee and
whatever recommendations are made
will be approved by the party leaders
and Immediately pushed through the
House and Senate when the time
comes.
Capitalization Is Sought
The main ends to be sought now will
be to require the President personally
to submit estimates to Congress for
the. different departments and provide
for an audit and review of expendit-
ures by Congress. Some think it will
be impossible more than to get through

traffic must be found in the water
routes between the two coasts.
There are immense possibilities for
the development of this kind of traffic
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
coasts" he continues, land no other
craft is so we'll adapted for this trade
as the economically built and economi
cally operated wooden steamer of from
5000 to 5000 tons.
I'VE want to use these vessels in
getting into the rich trade fields from
which the Huns have ousted them
selves by their own folly and wicked
ness"
The wood ships built for government
account under war orders were prac-
tically all steamers of from $500 to
5000 tons, and those that can be re-
leased from government service are
now being offered for sale in market
where ship tonnage was never so scarce
or freight rates so high.
A complete record of the perform
ance of the wood ships kept by the
Shipping Board gives in definite form
the service rendered to the govern
ment by this class of vessels and the
promise of future usefulness. Out of
the entire feet operated under control
Of the Shipping Board, Chairman Ed
ward N. Hurley recently announced,
but three wood ships have been lost.
The life of wood ship, therefore,
while risk, would not appear to be so
great risk as is commonly believed.
The actuary, as with lives of men, may
be able to take q thousand wood ships
end figure the approximate mortality
each year among a thousand new and
sound ships, and figure the risk, but no
man or group Of men can point to
wood ship on the ways or newly
launched and say what her years of
active service will be- The youngest
cabin boy may wither into old age and
pass to his fathers while the wood ship
upon which he spent his prentice years
continues stoutly on her way, a useful
and profitable trader at home or over
seas.
In other days when the builders of
houses built for centuries and not for
the present, as later became the fash
ION, timbers from wood ships that had
been condemned were eagerly sought
as the bulwarks of construction, and
in the stanchest old houses of Eng
land to-day can be found timbers-in
such excellent state of preservation
that they appear to have been petrified
which were obtained from the hulls
of wooden ships which had come to the
end of useful careers after many years
at sea.

might centralizes the development of
dirigiblcs in one arm or the other and
thus prevent, it is argued, wasteful rep
ettion of efforts.
Details of Programme
The details of the navy aviation pro-
gramme, as submitted to Congress, are
as follows
Aircraft for fleet use, s45o4,o25.
Purchase abroad of ten special fight
ing and spotting planes, 100000.
To erect one large hangar for diri-
gibes. 81 100000
To establish a rigid dirigible con-
struction and operation station, &c.
$4,000.
To construct two rigid dirigibles,
100000.
To purchase British rigid diri-
gible, $2,5O0,000
Conversion of collier Jupiter as air
plane carrier, 100000.
To purchase and convert two ner-
chant vessels into aircraft tenders, one
for planes and one for lighter than
air craft, $5,261,250.
To continue operations of all estab-
lished air stations, $7,813,107.
To continue experiments and devel-
opments of all types, $9,405,000.
To equip marine corps advanced base
units with aircraft. $3,933,100.
Miscell ancous, 100000.
Total, S46,531 ,482
1t is considered significant of what
the future trend Of aircraft develop
ment is to be that the navy is already
asking that almost half of its appro-
priation shall be for dirigibles.

WASHINGTON, June with the
navy asking for $46,o0O,ooO for air
craft constructions and maintenance,
the army calling for $50, 100000, with
the utilization of aerial transport of
the Postofiice and other departments
likely to run into large figures in the
future, the consideration of the de-
STABILITY of some form of centralized
control of government aeronautics has
come to the front again
The suggestion has been advanced
in the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee that the general control of de-
velopment, research and construction
be placed in the hands of bureau in
which the various government agen-
cies interested in aeronautics would
be represented. The proposed bureau
would be considerably less than an in
dependent department of the air and
considerably more than the defunct
aircraft board. The idea has not
tsken very definite form yet but as
outlined by Representative Kelley, of
the naval committee, the proposed
bureau would be supreme in matters
of general aircraft policy. and would
SO distribute aeronautcal functions
and duties that the overlapping and
duplication of effort that exist un-
der the present complete separation OF
departmental aeronautical activities
would be avoided. The operation of
the respective air services, as we'll as
their organization, would be left en-
tirely to the different departments,
but the national plans and appropria-
tons for the development of aircraft
would be directed by the proposed
central bureau
Time for Study Needed
Chairman Julius Kahn, of the
House Military Affairs Committee,
said tonight that one of the reasons
that contributed to the determination
of the committee to give the army
priation Of s15,0O0OOO in the bill
that will be introduced was the
need of time to study and deliberate
on the subject of consolidation or
Capitalization of control of all gov
eminent aerial activities. There seem
to be a general consensus Of opinion
in Congress that the American air
service shall be about first in the
world, and it is desired to take ample
time to lay Alright the foundations Of
its future organization.
By way of illustration of the oppor
tunity for diffusion Of effect at pres
ent, it is pointed out that both the
army and navy are taking up rigid diri-
gibles. A central controlling bureau

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE life Of
wood ship, like that Of man, is a.
risk. Some ships are born to life upon
the seas weak and m:sshapen. Others,
through the proved eugenics of the
shipyard-the mating of sound timber,
the joining of stout beam and f1awless
plank-fare forth in vigor of strength
and strength of line, fitted for long
careers in the adventurous field of
their predestincd activities.
Man is taught that if he will keep
himself in good condition he will pro-
long his years. The skill of the
surgeon is at his command in the event
of accident or a diseased part that
can be cut away. The condition of a
wood ship is in the keeping of the
master of the ship, and as ship surgery
is an exact science, its life may be
prolonged indefinitely.
Some wood ships grow old after the
manner of some men, shifting their oc-
equations to match their failing
strength, until, decrepit and hopeless,
they rot their lives away in utter
uselessness Others retain the vgor
of youth and not only earn their own

The Dancing Wave, built on the
Pacific Coast in 1854, and therefore
sixty-four years old, is still in active
operation on the Coast, and, it is re-

and carrying it dry. Recently she put
to her credit II round voyages be-
tween Tacoma, Washington, and San
Francisco, within a period of ~ cal

Wood ships of day can be and
are as stoutly built as those Of other
days, and those built in answer to the
demand of the hour served a useful
purpose in the war and will now pass
on to the pursuits of peace. There
is record Of performance behind them
and they are in active service to-day.
Those being sold by the United States
Shipping Board are being sold from
active service with the exception of
wooden huls in which no machinery
has been installed. The feet of
wood ships aid in giving the proper

Faith In Wooden Ships


Nearly forty years ago." he writes,
the wooden steamship Great Republic,
378 feet long, IA feet beam and with
carrying capacity of more than 5000
tons, was in operation between the
Orient and San Francisco. Not only
was She big carrier, but her wooden
hull had strength sufficient to support
machinery that gave her a speed of
nearly twenty miles an hour in the
river.
Before and after the appearance of
the Republic and for years after the
metal ships became numerous the
wooden steamer continued to play
prominent part on most of the ocean
highways, and is still doing so.
THE durability Of the wooden ship
IS another feature that has been time
tested. Owned on the Pacific Coast
and engaged in the coastwise and off
shore trade out of Pacific ports are $50
steam and sail wooden vessels that
have seen from twenty to sixty-eight
years. service. or this list sixty-eight
have passed their twentieth birthday,
hfty-three are from twenty to twenty
five years old, seventy-eight are from
twenty-five to thirty years old, forty
six from thirty to thirty -five years old,
forty-two from thirty-fvc to forty
years old, forty-four from forty to
forty-tive years old, ten from forty-five
to fifty years old, five from fifty to fifty
five years old, and still in service are
three wooden sailcrs which were built
siXty-one, sixty-tve and sixtv-eicht
years ago. In this list is the steam
ship Arcata, built in San Francisco
forty-two years ago, and in her long
career having tested her strength on
every bar between Panama and Alaska.
"With anything like proper care and
upkeep most of these vessels are good
for many years.
"lt is a noteworthy fact that salt
water the very element that rusts and
ruins the metal ship, is the best known
preservative for a wooden ship.
History Repeats Self
"The truth of that old adage that
history repeats itself never had a bet
ter prospect for veriication than in
the shipping outlook that now con-
fronts us.
when the Civil War ended big
fleet of government transports was
turned loose and many of them came
around the Horn to the Pacific North
west. These old wooden steamers
opened up new trade fields and aided
enormously in developing those al
ready open. They ran TO Alaska, to
Central America, to Mexico, Hawaii
and the Orient, and had the govern
.nent at that time encouraged and pro-
tected shipping as it is now dong our
ocean prestige would never nave been
lest.
Give years before the war began the
late James j. Hill, master of transpor-
tatlon, made the remarkable statement
that the business of the country was
increasing so rapidly that it was i'm
perativc that the railroads immediately
expend $4,000, 100000 in betterments
