in 1920 than has been paid this year,
the delinqucnts being divided as fol

1921, which is a fairly accurate check
upon the figures for last year.

NEW SECRETARY OF NAVY
HAS RECORD AS FRIEND
OF BIG BIZ INTERESTS
(By The Federated Press

Washington.--Edw DENLY of De-
troit. Harding's reported selection as
Secretary of the Navy. is known in
political life here as the one member
of the Ballinger investigating commit
tee who showed the most unreserved
approval of Ballinger's acts and char
acter Roosevelt excoriated him in a
speech in Detroit, and such men as
James r. Garfield, Clifford Pinchot and
other friends of Roosevelt assisted in
the fight in Denby's home city which
cut short his career in the House. He
was virtually expelled from the re-
publican party by Its progressive ele-
ment.
The significance of the appointment
lies in the power of the Secretary OF
the Navy to surrender to the oil com.
bire-dominated by Standard Oil--the
rich naval oil reserve lands in Cali
fornia These lands were largely
saved from the giye-away provisions
of the oil land leasing act OF last year
by amendments forced into the meas
ure in the Senate by LaFollette. in the
course of long filibuster.
