time all hands are called at $50 u. m
until 900 p. m, when the crew is sup
posed TO ''call 1t Il day and crawl into
hammocks, there is always something
happening on the New Mexico. or any
other ship Of the navy in the way OF
routine.
There is daily cleaning up sched-
ule. which is elaborated into general
house cleaning on Fridays. on that
day there isn't a piece of metal the
size of dime that isn't gone over
with soap and water or secured until
II shines like new.
Each day there are gun drills, cmer-
gency drills and plenty of other rou-
tine training that whets the appetitcs
OF the men. But In the navy it Is
recognized that ''all work and no
play" is a bad rule. SO there are lots
of opportunities for recreation.
The New Mexico's complemen. OF
1880 men and eighty officers all share
in the enjoyment of the ubiquitous
movies" These are presented on tho

Great economy is practised in the
use of the steam. The exhaust steam
coming from the turbine generators is
used in the operation of auxiliary
equipment. Then it is put into evapo
rator coils and distills sea water into
fresh water. About 25,000 gallons of
ccean water is converted into fresh
water on the New Mexico every day,
This is used for all general purposes,

Gulnac to Winter
Railroad Taxation

James Q. Gulnac president Of the
State Chamber Of Commerce and Agri-
cultural League. recently addressed
al communication to Representative
Frank w. Winter Of Auburn, relative
to remark made by Mr.. Winter at
the hearing in Augusta on railroad
taxation. Among other things, Mr..
Gulnac Stated
Regarding your remark at the hear
ing relative to the fact that you stood
for fair play and equal taxation to all,
wish to say that ] think you voiced
the sentiment and feelings Of everyone
present. It was partly for this rea-
son that appeared at the hearing. as
/ cannot but believe that the State
increasing at this time the taxes of
our railroads to any greater extent
than they increase the tax on other in
dustries or people in the State. is a
form of unfair and unequal taxation.
I supposed of course. that you In your
statement included our railroads in the
class for whom you were asking fair
play and equal taxation. If our rail-
roads. in order to raise sufficient
money to pay these added increases in
their taxes. are required to increase
their rates, then certainly, indirectly,
the State Is taxing unequally and un-
fairly the users of our Maine rail-
roads. 1t seems to me there is a
moral. and perhaps legal question
here which would bear consid.
cradle thought and study.
