TY ASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-No-
wv where outside the volumes or

army of the air portrayed before a
Congressional committee by Major
Oscar Westover. chief of the lighter
than-air branch of the Army Air
Service
Westover foresees:
l. Monster dirigibles, each capable
of carrying a regiment of 5000 sol
diers at one load.
2. Aerial bases OF operation, hover
ing high above land. from which small
planes can dart out and scurry back.
These are only two of the predic-
tions with which Major Westover,
without batting an eyeld. took the
breath away from the astOnished com
mittee Of Congressman.
Release at Will
I'VE confidently feel that the de-
velopment Of the next eight or ten
years will make possible the trans
portation Of n regiment of infantry
in one airship.' Westover said, and
we will certainly make possible the
carrying Of airplanes aboard such
large rigid airships-not only the
carrying Of them but the release 90

of six to eight airplanes, transport
them over n long distance without
drawing on their strength whatever.

cape would extinguish any blaze that

that particular compartment would be

happen.

Wisconsin Governor Tells
of Adjusting Tax Burdens

. taxes, there has grown up in the
past four years a system of as
sessing surfaces on incomes. This
is pyramiding an income tax.
1 feel that the present situation,
which permits the levying Of what
is popularity known as ''surtaxes,"
either upon real and personal
property or incomes, leads to ex
travagance and inequalities.
L have recommended to the Wis
consin Legislature a few simple
laws, which l feel are important.
| have urged that all surtaxes on
incomes and all mill surtaxes on
the general property of the State
be repealed. Next I have advised
the passage of a law which will
establish a ratio between incomes
and general property, and when
one tax goes up the other must

tax rates elastic BY this plan
both sources of taxes Will bear
their share Of the burdens OF gov
eminent.
Matter of Secrecy
Then there is another tax evil.
AT the present time, all income
tax reports are secret.
I contend that secrecy in gov.
eminent is/a bad thing; that tax
alton is y public and not a pri-
Vate matter, that the returns OF
those who pay $97.Oo0.Ooo in gen
eral property taxes have no veil
Of secrecy drawn over them; that
no honest tax return need fear
publicity; that it is only the re
turn TO shut out from public
view that which may be a fraud,
a cheat. or even a mistake.
Under the plan suggested. the
taxpayer. either as 10 income or
tangible property, viii not he
continuously threatened with spe-
cial forms of taxation
A reasonably fixed policy in
my opinion is desirable from the
standpoint Of the state and the
taxpayer alike.

The income tax rate is fixed, and
therefore any increase in the cost
of government is borne entirely by
real and personal property. Taxes
on real and personal property
have reached that point where

Court Holds
Life of u. S.
Rail Board
BvC. c. lyon

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The very
life Of the United States Railroad La
Dor Board is at stake in a case now
before the Supreme Court Of the
United States
Oddly enough, the case, brought by
the Pennsylvania Railroad is watched
equally closely by organized labor lead
ers, who though they regard the
Pennsylvania as their enemy. hope to
see the railroad win. because they
think an adverse decision will make
the labor board a dead letter.
The Pennsylvania contends the labor
board exceeded its authority in setting
aside agreements negotiated between
the railroad company and its shop
employees even though those agree
ments were secured by coercive or de
ceptive methods"
