even the system of reservations
with resident agents of the Indian
Bureau has insured their fair
treatment. In the Western States
the white settlers are so near the
frontier days in spirit that they
have not shaken off the attitude
toward the Indian that all from
tiersmen have had since the west
ward march began. TO them he
is creature to be ingnored, cheat
ed or dispossessed. He is, in fact,
little more than an interloper who
occupies good lands (in some in
stances) which should be turned
over to the whites.
What material advantages the
Indians will obtain from their new
status as citizeas it is hard to say.
Presumably they will become
subject to local laws, at least when
off the reservations. although
there is no reason to suppose that
their tribal form of government
will be interfered with. In due
time we may expect to hear that

BLAIR REPLIES
 TO SEN. COUZENS
Internal Revenue Head Answers To Tax Collection Charges

WASHINGTON, Dec; 16.-'Deter- imitation of a reasonable allowance for amortization as required by law is a matter of judgment" Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau asserted tonight in a reply to state ments by Chairman Couzens of the senate investigating committee relating to the handling of some income tax cases.
 Pointing out that amortization allow ancs were brought about as a result of wartime conditions and, once set tied, would not re-occur, MT. Blair ex- pressed the opinion that. the bureaus employees had accomplished much under the very difficult conditions resulting from postwar adjustment" With ref erence to the United States Steel cor poration case, he said the amount of amortization due it had not been fin ally determined in the bureau of inter- nal revenue and in the ordinary course considerable time must elapse before the tax of this corporation is finally ad- justed."
 During the war;" said Mr. Blair's statement, 'the great industries in this country, in most instances at the direct request of some government agency, in stalled large plant facilities for the pro- duction of articles contributing to the prosecution of the war. In many cases the industry was assured by the gov ernment agency before it began con struction that it would be made whole after the war. War prices had to be made. When the war did end, these facilities in large part were no longer necessary to the peace time require ments of the industry. The revenue act of 1918, passed imediately after the arm istice, provided for the amortization of these facilities, that is, for a redit to the industry of the difference between the war cost and the postwar value of the facilities to the industry"

Destroys
 6 Negro Homes; 35 Homeless

HIRE of unknown origin com M pletely demolised six negro
 houses, all of them near the in tersection of Twenty-sixth street and Avenue H, shortly after midnight Tuesday. The loss is estimated at $15,000. Approximately 35 persons were made homeless.
 The fire is said to have started in the third house from the intersection on Avenue H and then spread rapidly to the adjacent structures.
 A brisk wind for a time threat ened to carry the flames across Twen- ty-sixth street and prevented fire men from saving any of the houses. The flames gained considerable head way before the arrival of fire ap- paratus, as the occupants of the houses attempted to fight the blaze themselves and did not report he fire until it had gained great momen- tum, it is said.

SHEFFIELD, Ala, Dec. 16.-At- torney General Harwell c. Davis of Gadsden has definitely announced that he will be a candidate in the coming election for governor of Alabama, ac- cording to advices received here today.
 In a communication addressed to Prof. A. P. Oakley, Atmore, prominent south Alabamian, the attorney said:
 q appreciate very much the encour- agement you have given my political aspirations. I have definitely deter mined to make the race for governor. I have been so busy officially I have had no opportunity to write my friends. Again it ,is sometime before the election and would not want to worry the peo- pie too much with long campaign"
 Mir. Davis has played a prominent part in Alabama politics for the past several years. Before his election to state office he was leading at torney of Gadsden. He has been men, tioned as a possible contestant in the gubernatorial race here. Although his friends for sometime urged his en- trance it has not been positively known until now whether or not he would run

COOLIDGE HALTS
 PLAN. TO PROBE
 NAVY'SSTRENGTH
President Considers In- vestigation Un-
 essential
lBy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The move to bring about a congressional inquiry into the state of the navy, one of the outgrowths of Washington's newest controversy, today encountered opposi- ton at the White House and delay in the senate naval committee.
 The opposition from the White House was based on the grounds that a general investigation, such as pro- posed in the senate, was unnecessary. The postponement of action by the naval committee, called upon to con slider an investigation resolution by Senator King, democrat, Utah, was de- cided upon to permit study of what was described by Chairman Hale asa Substitute plan
 Without waiting for the question of an investigation to be decided, the house began general debate on the annual naval appropriation bill, with its pro- vision for an expenditure of nearly $300,000 on the naval establishment during the next fiscal year.
 Discuss Navy Ratio
 The controversy as to whether the navy is deficient and how it compared with other sea fighting forces imme- diately became subject of discussion. The matter of relative strength has been largely disregarded by President Cool idge in the consideration he is giving the naval question. He regards ade- uuate defense as the real guide in naval building rather than endeavor to build ship for ship with other nations.
 Competition in naval building in real ity is viewed with apprehension by the president. A statement of his views, obtained today at the White House, brought out that he sees little hope for the future if American naval strength is to be determined wholly by the pro- gram of the other powers. Secretary Wilbur is to appear tomorrow before the house naval committee and further presentation of the views of his de partment on the naval question is ex- pected. He had another conference with the President after the cabinet meeting today, and it was assumed nc has been thoroughly acquainted with the thoughts of the President.
 Gun Elevation Up
 The immediate matter before the house committee is the Britten bill, to expend S6500,000 in elevating the guns on 13 of the navy's IS capital ships to give them greater range.
 Representative Britten of Illinois ranking republican member of the house committee, and author of the gun eleva- tion bill, discussed the legislation today with the President. The views of the executive have never been disclosed but it has been made plain that he does not regard gun elevation legislation as of prime importance. The Presidents position is that the question of gun elevation must be considered in its relation to the naval armament treaty and also from the standpoint of nnnnnnnN

 As result. an arrangement has been made whereby w. Y. Gillian, repub- lican state chairman, will recommend postal appointments, and if they meet with the approval of Johnson, they will be accepted. Should Johnson disap- prove the appointments, the postmaster general would be required to make a final decision.
