SENATE BEATSCUT
IN 2D-CLASS MAIL
Defeats Amendment Provid-
ing 1920 Rates and Also
One Covering Newspapers.

A proposal to reduce second class
mail rates to the 1920 level was re-
jected by the Senate today, as an
amendment to the postal pay and rate
increase bill.
Defeat OF the amendment, offered
by Senator George, Democrat, Georgia
by vote of 43 to 80, opened the way
for action on the increase in these
rates proposed in the bill
The George amendment, accepted
last session as a part of the revenue
Dill, but later thrown out, was sup
ported by only six Republicans. Three
Democrats, Dill of Washington, Kend-
rick of Wyoming, and King of Utah,
voted with 3S Republicans and the two
Farmer-Labor Senator'S from Min
nesota, Shipstead and Johnson,
against the reduction.
A proposal to make the 1920 rates
effectiVe only to newspapers, then
was defeated, 60 to 81, on motion OF
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Tennes-
see.
Zone Increase Dropped.
On motion of Senator Oddie, Repub-
lican, Nevada, the Senate then voted
to exempt publications subject to first
and second zone mail rates from the
one-cent-a-pound increase in rate
proposed in the bill. AS a result the
rate on second class mail sent in the
first two zones is retained at cents
a pound.
Completes Action on Rates.
An effort by Senator Sterling, Re-
publican, South Dakota, to have these
rates increased to the schedule pro-
posed by the Post ONCE Department
was defeated, &c to IA.
This action left the rates on ad-
vertising portions of publications at
Z cents for the first two zones, 8
cents for the third zone, cents for
the fourth, fifth and sixth zones and
cents for the seventh and eighth
zones.
This completed action on the sec
ond-class rates, temporarily at least.

Figures for 1924 Would Indi-
cate Return for Full
Year of S627,6

Receipts from the two-cent tax on
gasoline sales in the District last
year. starting May "a, totaled $780,
1913. All is applicable to road and
highway construction and repair
Complete returns for the 222-day pc
riod the tax was operative were filed
with the Bureau of Public Roads to-
day by Wade H. Coombs, superintend-
ent of licenses.
This indicates an average consump-
ton of 214 gallons of gasoline per
vehicle for the tax period, or grand
average of 353 for the year, COM
puted on the figures for 222 days
Receipts would amount to 1921, $50 If
the consumption average was main
tanned. The average daily consump-
tion was 1,715 gallons.
Mr.. Coombs said there were SS762
gasoline-using vehicles in the District
in the tax period, plus several hun
dred motor cycles. In addition to the
gasoline-tax receipts, registration
and license fees for the full year
totaled s37S, $3.50.
Gasoline consumption here, indi-
Gated by the figures today, is con-
siderably lower than the grand over
age for 35 States, and the District,
according to the Bureau of Public
Roads, which placed the average of
the country at 422 gallons per car.
Subject Now Probed.
A special subcommittee of the
House District committee, headed by
Repres F. n. Zihlman of
Maryland, is now investigating re-
ceipts from the gasoline tax here,
basing its inquiry on receipts
covering several months, which were

The estimated revenue of s627, $50,
for full year, falls far short of the
expectation Of Mr.. Zihlman, who an
ticipated an income approximating
100000 a year and possibly more.
Receipts from gasoline sales for the
3S-day period beginning May "a, when
the tax became effective, and ending
June 80 totaled little more than
$4,000. which would indicate an an
nual return of little over $500, 600
Even this estimated return, Mr.. Zihl-
man declared to be too low.

KANSANS HERE PAY
GIRL ENVOY HONOR
Vada Watson Guest at Two
Dinners After Presenting
Wheat to President.

A blue-eyed miss from Kansas, who
raises chickens and cooks for harvest
hands, claimed part of the Wash
ington stage for herself today while
Congressman, cabinet officers and the
President paused in their official
tasks to do her honor.
She was Vada Watson, daughter of
farmer living near Turon, and only
19, but her arrival and round of activ-
tiles during the day attracted as
much attention as many a foreign
envoy. She was an envoy herself,
for that matter. because as the kan
sas Wheat Girl she carried to Presi-
dent Coolidge a bag of wheat and the
message that kansas Grows the
Best Wheat in the World"
Here on Kansas Day.
Miss Watson, selected as the most
representative girl in Kansas at the
inaugural, two weeks ago, of Gov.
Ben S. Paulen, had her visit to Wash
ington timed to coincide with cele-
bration by Kansans, not only in their
native State, but the world over, of
kansas day." the anniversary OF the
admission OF Kansas to the Union.
Incidentally, her visit conceded with
the mounting of wheat to a new high
price record for the period since the
war.
Received at the station by the Kan
sas delegation in Congress, Miss
Watson's first engagement was her
reception at the White House by
President Coolidge to deliver to the
President the bag of wheat-some OF
the wheat harvested by the late
President Harding near Hutchinson,
Kan. on his final Western trip. Then
she had an engagement to be recelV-
ed by Mrs. Coolidge, and the rest OF
the days program provided for
luncheon to be given in her honor at
the Capitol by Senators Curtis and
Capper of Kansas, and attendance,
again as an honor guest, at the an
nual dinner of the Kansas Society OF
Washington.
Wheat Not All. Says President.
When Miss Watson presented to the
President the little bag of wheat the
latter expressed his thanks for the
honor and then, looking quizzingly at
the young lady, said: IL take it that
Kansas grows not only the best
wheat, but the best-looking girl"
She responded by saying: Il am
greatly honored today for the privi-
lege of being in your presence. Kan
sas, whose farmers I represent on
this occasion, not only grows more
wheat than any other State, but
grows the best wheat in the world.
1t has given me pleasure, Mr.. Presi-
dent, to deliver to you from the farm
ers of Kansas this small bag of whe eat
as a token of good wishes from our
people"
