REPUBLICANS
GAIN CONTROL
IN TAX FIGHT

Washington, May 13.-(By the A.
PD-Republicans retained control of
the conference on the tax reduction
bill through appointment by the Sem
ate today of three Republicans and
two Democrats, the same ratio as fix
ed by the House.
Pointing out the bill as passed by
the Senate was modelled on the DEM
ocratic program, the main provisions
of which had been proposed by Re-
publican organization leaders, Sena-
tor Simmons, North Carolina, Demo
crat of the finance committee, had
suggested the appointment of three
Democrats and two Republicans.
Senator Simmons said he would ac-
cept the membership named by the
Senate but if the Democratic sec
tions in the bill were not protected
he would ask for discharge Of the
Senate conferees' and appointment of
a Democratic majority.
These provisions consist principal
ly of the substitute corporation tax
imposing a levy on undistributed
profits, the Simmons income tax
schedule providing for a maximum
surtax of 40 percent and proposal
, for full publicity of tax returns. I'm
less these proposals are modified ad-
ministration leaders have declared
the measure faces veto.
Chairman Smoot of the finance
committee announced the first meet
ing of the conference would be. held
tomorrow. About 10 days or two
weeks are expected to be consumed
in ironing out the differences be-

FIRE ON THE hENAI LAKE ROAD

This summer, we will see the Sew
ard Kenai Lake road completed. The
natural beauty and scenic wonders OF
this unusal highway are not equaled
by many driveways Of the world. The
distant timber skirted and snow capp-
ed hills, the river and creeks winding
through tree lined banks and over
flower covered bars into crystal lakes,
the roadway lined and overhung with
the silent sentinels Of the forest; a
combination that only nature provides
and she has worked one of her Won
ders for US. The impression is that
nature provided right-of-Way and all
we had to do was build the road tread.
There is no rawness one expects with
new construction.
We, each of US, enjoy this avenue of
pleasure and we have given our bit
for its construction. 1t is in our keep
ing and trust. Shall we preserve it in
its original glory? We must.
To insure its lasting for ever we
must be continually on guard and pre-
vent fire from blasting Stewards nat
ural treasure.

Federal Judge Says
Too Many Laws Passed

LOS ANGELES, Apr 19.-Gradual
curtailment of the rights Of individ-
uals by a multiplicity Of criminal
laws is a danger sign to wnrn j
would be well for thoughtful citi-
zens to give consideration, it was
stated here by Federal Judge J. c,
Pollock, Of Kansas City, Kan, a
former justice Of the Supreme Court
OF Kansas.
The downfall of every democracy
and republic in history has been due
to legislative invasion OF individual
rights he declared.
To show how rapidly the tendency
toward excessive legislation was de
veloping he pointed out that over rs
per cent Of the laws on our statute
books today have been enacted with
in the last ten years.
Il have the highest regard for the
Constitution" he said, "and | believe
the men who framed that document
possessed greater knowledge of the
science of government than any OF
their successors.
"Of late years, however, maay re-
formers have come forward with sug-
getions of constitutional improve
ment. Probably these persons mean
well enough but they fail to com
prehend the fundamental principles
on which our government is based
individual liberty.

PETRIFIED FORESTS AND THE
ALASKAN COAL
Paul Bunyan never smoked cigar

Paul Bunyan never smoked cigar
cites, but he was very fond of his
pipe. One day he sat on the top Of
the San Francisco Peaks looking for
fires, smoking his pipe the while. The
wind blew out several of his matches,
which he carefully broke in many piec-
es and tossed down onto the plains
where there was nothing to burn.
These Old matches Of Paul's are now
being exhibited to the unsuspecting
tourists at the Petrified Forest
Later on that day Paul spied a
smoke in the northwest. He immedi-
ately set out to extinguish the blaze.
Stepping down off the Peaks, he tay-
ped his pipe on Mt. Mckinley, careful
ly covering the charred tobacco with
earth. A chap named Uncle Sam dis
covered these remains and claimed
them as coal fields.

ness men stand about debating the
problem, Thaw himself is having
no picnic.
He keeps secretary at the George
Washington hotel to act as a buffer
between him and the country folk
who look upon him as a bonanza.
They come from miles around to of
fer everything from hound dogs to
antiques for sale.
Three country maids have offered
to forsake the milk stool to become
his bride. All day the curious be-
siege him for just a glimpse, a word
or a signature in a name album.
The way he meets his problem is
illustrated by an incident at the
Peoples drug store. Two girls were
slipping sodas when one said:
I'D love to see this man Thaw."
The other answered; I wouldn't
Ia be scared to death. He might
kill me-
Thaw stepped up, and touching
the frightened one on the arm said
TN Harry Thaw. I killed a man
in a just cause and l have no re-
greet. But Ill never harm anyone
else-especially a little girl"
Everywhere he goes, the town
gaze follows. He walks erect, with
quick, nervous steps, his unusual
height, gray hair, deep-lined face
and athletic figure marking him
apart.
Mother Often With Him
Behind him is the ever-faithful A
J. Connally, four years his personal
attendant and bodyguard Usually
his secretary accompanies him on
one side while his mother walks on
the other.
1t IS she who will win the town.
Though 50 years old, she still looks
after her boy. Big, broad, white
haired. majesJical woman. slightly
bent by years and tribulation, she
is still the grande dame Of a great
family.
Harry to her is still the spoiled
child she's done so much to rear. He
still flies into tantrums and she still
subdues and moIHfies him.
At the hotel he demands instant
service. If it is delayed he curses
like a trooper, stamps his feet or
pounds his hands on table or desk.
He's never still. but speaks nervous
". his eyes rowing and seldom rest
ing long on any object.
Mrs. Thaw saves trouble by her
generosity. In one day at the
George Washington hotel she dis
tributed 500 in IS bills to servants
who had suffered from her boys
tongue-lashings and temper.
Thaw makes no apology for kill

taken the law into his own hands.
In this he has the sympathy of the

ILL HEAL. TIL CAUSES !
WISE To WITHDRAW
FROM RACE IN 9Th

FAYETTEVILLE,G Ca, Aug. %
Formal withdrawal of Congressman
]. w. Wise from the race for re-elec- (
ton in the Sixth district, was an
nounced here this afternoon in
statement given out by the secre-
tary, 3. D. Murphy. Continued Ill
health was assigned as the reason.
Congressman Wise, who has
served ten years as representative
from this district, was taken i'll last
November but until recently, his con-
dition has shown improvement. A
recent setback, however, resulted in
the decision to withdraw from the
race, leaving two other candidates
in the field, Ben j. Fowler, of Ma
con, and Sam Rutherford, of For
syth, both members of the leglsla-
ture.
The statement of the congress
mans secretary follows:
ITO the people of the Sixth Con-
gressional district:
"Since Hon. j. w. Wise an
nounced as a candidate to succeed
himself as congressman from this
district, he has been stricken with a
severe and critical illness. From the
opinion of the physicians, it seems
extremely doubtful that he would be
able to discharge the duties of the
office. His family and friends know
that if he were physically able to
attend to the matter, he would be
unwilling to accept from the peo-
pie election to an office which he
probably will be unable to fill. Upon
the advice of his family and friends,
I am taking the liberty of making
this statement to let the people
know that he is out of the race.
IT also take the liberty Of express
ing for him again his deep appre-
citation of the great confidence re-
posed in him by the people and the
repeated honors they have bestowed
upon him.
VERY respectfully,
"B. D. MURPHY"

Old line conservatives view his sue
cess with horror. The church dea-
cons have been criticized for reserv-
ing a special pew for him. The cler-
gyman, the Rev. r. T. MacFaden,
has been berated for dining three
times with Thaw and then inviting
him to membership.
MacFaden has left town for his

the case has fallen on his substitute,
the Rev. w. H. Woods.
