WRIGHT REJECTS MANLY'S OFFEF
Not lnterSted.in ReConditionine
 of Old Plane

Dayton, Ohio, June 13 P)-An answer to the challenge of Charles Nj. Manly, former pilot of the Lang ley Aerodrorne during experiments in 1903, in which he sought to make further flying experiments with the original Langley plane now in the Smithsonian institution. was made here late yesterday by Orville Wright.
 Mir. Manly suggested that each Of the interested parties of the con- troversy place $1O.000 available for the remodelling Of the Langley plane into its original condition. Then he asked that tests be made at Long Island in August. Manly was the engineer in the plane when it made a number of attempts to fly over the Potomac river in 1903.
 MT. Wright's answer said:
 "The evident purpose of the chal- lenge which MT. Manly has an- nounced in the press is to draw at- tention from the real issues of the controversy between Dr. Walcott and myself. Those issues are the charges which l have made that the Smithsonian institution is not safe depository for historic relics.
 "The issues of this controversy do not relate to events of the future but to events of the past. there fore see no reason for introducing discussion of future experiments into a discussion which has to do only with experiments of the past This proposal to do so can only be taken as an admission of the truth of my charges as to the fraudulent nature of the so-called tests of the Langley machine at Hammondsport in 1914"

Gov. Hunts Message-Governor
Hunt, in his message to the legisla-
ture Monday, urged rejection of the
Colorado River Compact unless a
supplementary compact can be made
with California and Nevada The
Boulder Canyon project should be op-
posed whether the compact is rati-
fed or not, because it was unneces-
sary and would submerge other prac-
teal dam sites, besides being a men
ace to power and irrigation enter
prises of the State. He treated
statements that the u S. would step
in and develop the Colorado without
consulting or consent of Arizona as
"purile piffle." He recommended a
100000 appropriation for expenses
to investigate and ascertain Ari-
Zona's legal status on the compact
and development of reclamation and
power enterprises on the Colorado.

STAGGERING THE TAXPAYER

The Santa Fe Railway pays on an
average of $56,000 a day taxes. Get
that-a day. The operating expenses
of the road are $475,0OO a day, not
ployes get S280,OOO a day. Fuel to
keep the road going costs $4,000 a
day Materials and supplies cost
$95,000 a day. The money to take
care Of these enormous costs comes
from the transportation of freight and
passenger traffic mainly. A small
part of it comes from the transporta-
ton of United States mail. The
prices which the company charges for
transportation is fixed by government
commissions of the public's selection,
federal and state. Regarding Santa
Fe railroad taxes, which go to the
communities along the line-$56,000
day, or some $20,OO0,0OG a year; if
the federal government ever takes the
railroads for operation, payment of
these taxes will cease, as Uncle Sam
pays no taxes on it's property. We
are speaking here only of the Santa
Fe's taxes. All the railroads of the
country pay total of $1,000,000 taxes
a day, or s365,0OO,OOO a year Tax
payers would find that staggering
amount added to their present tax
charge under government ownership.
