star Route Service to be Organized
on Basis That VIII Give Sufficient
Revenue to Maintain
Present Standard

Washington.-Air mail service in the
United States, If conducted in the IN.
ture ON Ii contract basis similar TO the
star Route service, will have to be
organized on basis that Will mike
the service self-suppOrtlng. This means
beyond doubt that sufficient addition.
al postage will have to be charged for
air service to enable the contractors
TO more than break even. The govern
ment air mall service at travelling rates
mas not been remuneratlve.
These facts were agreed upon at n
conference Saturday between Chair.
man STEVENSON OF the house postoffice
committee and representatives Of the
postmaster general designated to aid in
drafting bill which will place the
air mail service on contract basis.
Chairman Stevenson said he was con-
WINGED congress will not continue to
appropriate money to maintain the air
mail service on its present expense
basis In fact he expressed doubt
whether the service could be made sup
porting under government operation,
and he has the support of Postmaster
General Hays. Details of the new bill
are not yet decided what routes will
be established under the bill.
II II becomes law, the probabilities
are, however, that transcOntinental air
service will be provided for over the
route now traversed by government
filers, but that the service will be so
recognized that letters will 90 the
entire route by air and will pay high
er rate of postage than at present.
The original transcontinental air SER
vice travel operated to expedite the
transportation of mails across the con-
tinent and to post0fflces along the
route, but 1t did not accomplish what
is most desired, quick delivery Of first
class mail entirely by airplane from
points or origin in the east to San
Francisco, Salt Lake, Cheyenne and
intermediate points.
Mr.. Stevenson bellves that business
men who can get letters across the
continent by air in two to three days
will be willing to pay reasonable post
age rate on such mail. but contract
carriers, In addition to carrying the
malls, must in his judgment, be per-
mitted to carry express packages and
passengers where their planes are prop
erly equipped. Further conferences
are to be held next week to perfect
the bill which Mr. STEVENSON is to
introduce.

Would Give President Authority to Use
HE Own Judgment In Dealing
With Matters From

travened treaty rights Of aliens. to
instruct the attorney general to take
up the defense of civil or criminal
prosecutions brought by state officials
before state courts and to secure their
removal to federal courts for trail.
The federal courts would take juris.
diction when any acts had been com.
mitted against aliens which would con.
stitute crimes under state laws and
penalties similar to those provided In
the state statutes would be imposed
in case Of acts against American citi.
zens, United States marshals and. II
necessary, army or navy forces would
be available to enforce decisions.
Under present conditions there is nc
law authorizing Intervention by the
federal government for the protection
Of alines in state proceedings, Senator
Kellogg said. The bill, he added, was
intended to make clear the rights and
duties of the federal government.
The bill was referred TO the foreign

In like manner the army bill carry
ing $3.50, 100000 for 1921 was again
taken up by the House Friday and will
probably have been passed before
this letter reaches readers. In that
bill which also died in the Senate
last session vigorous contest arose
between the two Houses as to whether
an army of 10000, or of It's, 900 men
should be maintained, apart from the
State National Guard organizations
that maintain an additional force,
averaging about 100000 we'll drilled
men. The State Guard formed the
back bone of our military organiza-
tion during the Spanish American
war and several hundred thousand
men in our American forces during
the last war were either members of
some state guard or had served in
the past with the same military or
Ganization. The writer has ever be-
lieved the state guard is a strong
part of our military force and it does
not take large part of our men out
of active fields like in the regular
army, where they cease to have inita-
tive because of army life and become
consumers instead of producers. That
is not offered as an argument regard
ing the respective Importance of the
two kinds of service but to say that
with the State National Guard our
army is six times as large as the Is,
900 maintained prior to the Spanish
American war and does not seem un-
necessarily small when all other
nations are Frustrated financially.
In talk with Chairman Fordney
of our committee the other day he
said he expected to again introduce

compensation bill after the tariff and
revenue bills are put through the
House. From present indications
these two measures will not be out of
the way in July and discussion in the
Senate is certain to prolong consid-

Our Weekly Letter
From Washington
(From James A. Frear, M. c.


The Naval bill carrying $4,000,
900 for 1921 was again passed on TO
the Senate last week, for the amount
contained in the same bill last session.
Then it was referred to the Senate
Committee and there given boost
of 500, 100000 or in round numbers
three years after the war we were
asked by the Senate Committee to
spend about half billion for naval
purposes alone in 1922. Big navy
men have no regard for the size of eX-
penditures nor for the necessities OF
the country, providing the ship yards,
private or public, are kept busy manu-
featuring war machines that will be-
come obsolete within a decade. Sena-
tor King charged in his committee
report of the same bill last session
that private contractors were urging
the passage of large appropriations
because of financial interests they
held in battleship building contracts,
with direct inference that propagan-
da regarding Jap war activities at
this time and other international disa-
greements usually find news space
about the time the naval approprla-
ton bill reached Congress. Those who
nav the bills through burdensome tax
es are not disposed to accept easy as
surances of need for expending nearly
a half billion dollars for naval pur-
poses when all the countries OF the
world are war weary and when we
possess a navy twice as strong as
that of any other in the world-ex-
cepting that of Great Britain our Ally
in the recent war. The 1922 naval
bill was held up in the Senate last
session because of its enormous size
and it died with the session. 1t has
again been passed and will again have
to run the gauntlet of the big navy

led reduced to $285,O00., Senator
Skogmo said no reasons existed for
this slight reduction; that it was de-
manded merely to make show of
economy. The finance committee lat
er went the Governor one better and
reduced the amount to $250,000.
This leaves the commission with but
$214,0OO, the amount of the 1919 ap-
preparation, to carry on its work.
On his way North from Beaufort,
Ex-Governor William Upham called
to express his contentment over hav-
ing reached the age of four score and
in his enjoyment of good health 365
days in the year.
When the Dahl tax bill was being
debated in the Assembly, the sug-
gestion by the author of the measure
that it would, if defeated, become a
campaign issue, was met promptly by
the administration leaders with
the declaration that it would please
them to have such an issue. This
suggestion points to the more clearly
defined cleavage between the admin
istration forces and their opponents
than has been heretofore noticeable.
Dahls threat on the one hand that
the administration would force GER
tain issues in the next campaign, and
Senator Skogmo's charge on the other
side that the administration was play
ing politics with important measures,
and not acting with sincerity, pres
age some further asperities before
the close of the session.
The state of Wisconsin, in addition
to it's state parks and lands connected
with the various institutions owns
about 100000 acres of school lands
some of which are of high agricultur-
al value. A fair average price at
this time for these lands would be $l5
an acre. The school fund of the state
thus will sometime be swelled by
nearly five million dollars.
On May 14th an auto picnic party
under the auspices of the Friends OF
our Native Landscape will accompany
the legislative committee recently ap-
pointed to investigate the proposed
purchase of the Azalan prehistoric
mounds to Aztalan. The trip will take
in Waterloo, Lake Mills, Jefferson,
FIT. Atkinson and Lake Ripley, return
ing to Madison at night. Three short
addresses will be made by Prof. Bar
rett of Milwaukee, DR.. Louise Phelps
kellogg and Judge c. B. Rogers.
A Wisconsin innovation in dealing
with the industrial problem is the an
nual Industrial Service Conference
which has been conducted by the In
dustrial commission since 1918. These
conferences bring together large
number of Wisconsin employers, well
fare supervisors, and others to discuss
pressing industrial problems. This
years conference will be held at APP
pleton, May 9 to II. Among the
speakers of wide reputation at this
conference are Judge George E. Mix
of the City Court of ST. Louis; Miss
Grace Abbot of Chicago, who has been

federal child labor law; DR.. Lucian w.

mons, of the University of Wiscon-
sin; and State Superintendent-elect
Callahan. All previous conferences
have been held in Milwaukee, but it
was decided to hold this years con-
ference in the Fox River Valley, be-
cause of the Industrial Importance OF
this section of the state.
