TESTING INDUSTRIAL COURT LAW
The industrial court law enected In
Kansas to prevent strikes OF en-
ployes engaged in providing the nee
essities of life is being put to a test by
the attack being made in court upon
the law by the miners attorneys.
The law outlaws strikes and pro-
vides court for the hearing and ad-
Indicating of all grievances between
employer and employee. The coal
miners were about 10 strike when an
injunction was issued preventing their
leaders from ordering a strike. The
induatrlal court then took cogniz-
ance OF the affair and subpoened the
president and three others OF the
miners officials TO appear and testify.
The men refused and the court order
ed them placed In Jail. They were so
placed and the miners struck OF their
own accord. The leaders were re-
leased on bond and the attorneys for
the leaders have attacked the law on
the ground OF constitutionallty.
The action is looked upon as the
crucial test OF the efficiency OF any
attempt to regulate work through
laws or court regulation.

ton to Audit Returns.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE treasury

a billion dollars" is outstanding in I'M
paid taxes because ofsthe government S
inability to audit the returns Dr.
Thomas s. Adams, OF the treasury
staff testified today at hearing on
taxation before house ways and means
committee.
Because Of the complex nature of
present revenue laws, Doctor Adams
added. the internal revenue bureau
has been unable to cOmplets the
checking up OF tax returns for 1911
He has no immediate hope of making
the audit current with the tax returns
filed.
The task OF auditing the tax returns
and OF tracing evasion and other
causes Of failure to pay all taxes due,
Doctor Adams said, has become so
stupendous that the internal revenue
bureau sees no way out at present
He declared he would thank God
II the revenue machinery does not
break down in two years under the
burden of any addition 10 its job of
tax collection"
The treasury representative state
ment was made in connection with an
explanation of his attitude in opposi-
ton to a general sales tax He be-
lieved that while such a tax would
yield great returns, the administra-

Topeka Aviator Invites Chamber of
Commerce to Visit Plant.

A. K. Longren OF the Longren Air
plane Corporation. spoke at the
Chamber of Commerce dinner today.
advocating his airplane in particular
and aviation in general. and ended by
inviting the entire assembly to visit
the plant of the Longren Corporation
this afternoon About twenty of
thirty diners found time to CO.
Longrergs talk was interesting He
declared that those who thought air
navigating dangerous were mistaken.
and he cited the comparative casualty
lists of the automobile races and air
plane races of the last year to prove
his point
More deaths and injuries resulted
from the speedway races in the last
year than the injuries and deaths
from flying" Longren said. Further
more. every inch of space in the air is
a speedway There are no turns. no
hills and dales, no bridges to cross
The way lies clear and clean over
mountain, dale, lake and dell. and
there are no speed cops"
Longren spoke at great length about
the new '-folding-wing model plane
that the Longren people expect to put
under construction in the near future
In the first place the wings can
be folded up Immediately after you
land, in few minutes time, and the
car trund1ed right into a garage, tax
ing up only a little more room than
an automobile. The new plane can
land at a slow speed of 50 miles an
hour, and on the take-off can begin
to climb at the same speed
