ASK BR0I r Powers
FOR Il nee BOARD
President IS IS Message TO
Congress ging Prompt
{ ion.

Washington. - President Harding
sent message to congress Tuesday
asking legislation authorizing the War
Finance corporation to handle funding
of railroad Indebtedness and to in
crease credit for financing agricul-
tural exports.
That there were moral" obligations
upon the government to aid in both
respects was stated by the president,
who commended the War Finance cor
poration as an agency of great value
in restoring economic conditions.
Prompt action was requested, but the
president did not ask that both fea-
lures be contained in one bill.
Republican leaders, therefore, adop-
ted the plan Of dealing with the rail-
road and agricultural questions in sep
arate measures.
Senator Kellogg, republican, Mime
sofa, introduced a bill drafted by Sec
rotary Hoover of the department of
commerce and Chairman Meyer Of the
War Finance corporation, extending
the powers of the War Finance cor
poration to agricultural export finance
ing. It also would increase the cor
porations revolving credit fund from
$500, 100000 to $1,000,O00,000.
The Kellogg bill was offered as al
substitute for the pending Norris bill
to create new government export
financing corporation with 100000
600 capital. Provisions dealing with
railroad funding were stricken from
the Hoover-Meyer draft before it was
presented, and republican leaders
planned to consider later and sepa-
rately the presidents recommends
lions that the War Finance corpora
ton take over railroad funding.
Lessee Alleged to Have Violated Con-
tract with Shipping Board.
New York.-t'ive of the largest and
finest steamships in the United States
merchant marine, which had been
chartered to the United States Mail
Steamship company, were seized by
representatives of the United States
shipping board, because of an alleged
violation of contract.
The seized vessels, all ex-German
liners, are the George Washington,
America, SusQuehanna, President
Grant and Agamomnon.
Failure of the steamship company
to pay rentals which aggregated up to
the time Of the seizure about $4,000
was given as the principal reason for
the boards action by Elmer Schlesin-
ger It's general counsel.

TAX LEGISLATION
OCCUPIES CONGRESS

Washington, D. c. - Money-raising
legislation occupied the attention Of
congressional committees at each end
Of the capitol this week, with the
senate finance committee holding
hearings on the Fordney tariff bill,
and the house ways and means com.
mittee discussing the new tax bill
Although the tariff bill, passed by
the house and designed to raise about
half a billion dollars in revenue an
nually, was going into its second
stage, interest was somewhat subord-
mated to the tax measure which must
produce more than seven times as
much.
The tariff bill, estimated by Chair.
man Fordney to raise around $780,
100000 in revenue annually, was
passed by the house by a vote of 2S9
to 1877, Seven republicans voted
against the measure, while the same
number of democrats supported 1t.
Oil, hides, cotton and asphalt remain.

ARRANGE FOR Big

There'Il be High links All
Day For Everybody

At meeting of the directors
of the Vashon Island Improve
ment League held at the News
Record office on Monday even
ing for the purpose of planning
proper opening celebration OF
the newly paved highway, every
thing went off with snap and
bang that would indicate there s
at least some pep left in one
section Of the little old U. S. A.
even if the New England fac
tories are silent, and the banks
in Iowa are closing their doors.
Vashon island now boasts as
being the only island in all OF
Puget Sound with a paved road.
A map shows many larger is
lands, a few smaller islands, sew
cral islands of about the same
area-but VASHON island is
the only one of the whole bunch
with PAVED HIGHWAY.
And the pavement will be open
ed from Center to the Vashon
Heights dock on August 18th.
On Friday the 18th, there is
going to be monster celebra-
ton of the event to which every
human being on Vashon-M aury
will act as entertaining host.
People already are making plans
to attend from Seattle, Tacoma,
Harper, Gig Harbor, Des Moines
and lother points contiguous to
the island.
On that day we can get thous
ands of dollars worth of free
advertising in exchange for
,little effort in extending "the
glad hand" This is cat home
stuff" for Vashon-Maury folks,
for "the glad hand act" is the
islands middle name. We're
going to open our arms to our
visiting guests, and not only
show them our paved highway,
but our fruit farms, our poultry
farms, our greenhouses, our we'll
kept homes, our gardens, oug
school buildings, our churches,
our beaches, our good looking
girls, our upright men, our
babies, our-well you know the
rest!
The formal celebration will be
held at the Vashon High School
grounds, and will consist of
speeches, sports, big eats, and
other things ct cetera. A tour
of the island for all who wish
it, and in this connection the
committee calls upon everyone
to adorn yourself in your best
behavior, and get under this
mammoth undertaking and lift.
We expect special boat service
from Seattle, Harper, Gig Har-
Dor and maybe Tacoma. Bury
your crouch, if you ever had
one, and leaving dull care behind
set aside Friday, August 18th, as
an old-fashioned circus day
and spruce up. Shave up, wash
up, scrub up, bake up, hitch up,
load up, and git-up-we're off
This is no cut and dried affair
so get in and have good
time. The chairman of several
committees was named, which
doesn't mean anything. This is
merely a hollow honor for some
of us to get our names in the
papers-so get into the game
from the first. 1t is YOUR big
day-and the guy who can make
