THE SENATE BAD BOYS" Get
SPANKING BY REPUBLICANS

The action of the United States
Senate by decisive vote of Ga to IL
in removing senators LaFollette,
Brookhart, Ladd and Frazier from
their Republican committee places,
must not be construed as mere
partisan demonstration, but deser-
YES to be considered as natural
and logical step toward establishing
responsibility in government and eff
ficiency in administration.
1t is not at all surprising to find
that Walsh of Montana, Hefiin of
Alabama, and Ashurst of Arizona,
vociferous Democrats, made yehe-
ment protest against such move
because they appreciated that if the
Republicans succeeded, that it would
make for better service for all the
people, and that the Republican
Party would be the gamer. This
so-called Insurgent Bloc, anti-Re-
publican in thought, word and deed,
and yet occupying a position of
Importance by reason of the Re-
publican affiliations which they bore
but did not support, has been one
of the most effective aids which the
Democrats have had in continuing
state of confusion in congress-
Their distress accordingly at the
type of cure which the Republicans
proposed is easy to understand,
The people of the country as a
whole are giving evidence of a
very general understanding and ap-
proval of the Republican action.
The position taken by the Re-
publican senators was that the peo-
pie of the country, having voted
Republican, have the right to have
Republican legislation enacted for
them without the interference in
committees by group of men who
were definitely repudiated at the
polls in the election held in Novem-
Der, 1924. If the insurgents can
pc lui tiitf Suibtu az lllt HGAL Sto-
sion of Congress, the people of the
country can have laws passed which
will materially aid them. The Re-
phblicans in the senate are deter
mined to stop the unwarranted in
reference of senator's who, while
elected as Republicans, have on
numerous and sundry occasions, pre-
vented the consideration of bene-
fetal laws. President Coolidge, in his
that he was not in favor of the
man elected on one ticket joining
with the opposition in preventing
laws being passed that were prom
ised by the party on whose ticket
he ran. The President is determin-
ed TO carry out the promises made
to the people, and will use every eff
fort to see that congress also car
ries out its part of these promises.

Coolidge Saves Eight Millions On
Budget
washington Correspondent

washington Correspondent
1t is more than likely that the in
come taxes paid by the people of
the nation will be cut next year.
ms result can be accomplished if
the suggestions of President Cool
idge to Congress and the heads of
the different departments of the fed
eral government are carried out to
the fullest extent. 1t would mean
that the income tax rates now in
force would be cut at least 25 per
cent, by bill which will be intro
duced at the early part of the next
session of Congress.
President Coolidge has had sever
al conferences with Representative
Martin Madden, chairman of the ap-
preparations committee in the House.
in regard to the matter and Mad
den is confident that if Congress
will back up the President the cut
in income taxes for next year can
be accomplished.
An interesting side-light into the
matter of appropriations this year is
that by needing the Presidents di-
rections, appropriations $S,000,000
below the budgets estimates, were
passed at the last session of the
68th Congress; put in plain Lam
guage, this means that even with
the figures of the budget taken as
a basis, Congress, at the direction
of the president, has saved $8,000,-
600 more of the taxpayers money
than was hoped for at the begin
ming Of the session 1t is also of
interest to note that during the
past four years Congress has spent
$S50,000,000 less than was proposed.
At the next session of congress,
Madden will call up his resolution
which would result in making in
come taxes automatic. This plan
would do away with continuous in
come tax legislation, although in an
emergency congress, would have the
Po"Si thS iSPSdi the dSt. Inc pidH
would mean that when the Trea-
sury had surplus of over $780,
100000 a proportionate automatic
decrease would be made in every
ones income tax.
1t is known here that President
Coolidge has for some time been
having an extensive survey of gov
eminent financial conditions made,
as he is determined not only to
save the tax payers money, but to
cut off all needless expenditures; all
of which means the carrying out of
his promise to the people that
whenever possible federal taxes
would be lowered.

In the mass of matter we have read about Dorothy Ellingson, one fact seems to us to be especially interest ing. Dorothy is reported to have said: Mother didn't understand me" Bunk! Dorothy's mother-and it has been the same with mothers of head strong girls since the world began did understand her daughter. It was the latter who did not understand her mother, nor did she care. The girl, had she stopped to think, would have realized that her own completely dom inant selfishness was the cause of all the heart-aches, both her own and her mothers. The mother knew eX- actly where the hell-bent career of the girl would end. Selfish girls, however, at the end of their selfcre- ated trail of misery, have always of fered the alibi, My mother didn't un- derstand me-" They are the same kind of girls, who, grown up and hay ing passed through domestic squalls, fall back on the old standby and say: My husband never understood me" {" Poor dolls, of what wondrous clay they must think themselves made, to be so beyond the whole worlds com prehension.

Top Floor Tenants Increase
 Burden of London PostInen

LONDON, Apr. 14.-Climbing and descending steps for seven hours a day, carrying load of 35 pounds is the lot of the average London mail carriers in certain districts, ac cording to a recent investiga tion and in Glasgow postmen in the tene ment sections of the city climb 8, 900 step a day. This is regarded as too much, and the postal workers will propose that the load be limit ed to 28 pounds and the daily dis tance to r miles.
 A notable increase in stair climb ing has come about through the building of more flat houses and the conversion of large dwellings into living quarters for small families.

She will have enough explosives in reserve to re-eQuip the airships after they have dropped charges that would wreck a city. She will carry machine shops and expert mechanics by the score to keep her air brood in fight ing trim. She will carry enough gasoline and oil to keep all the motor cars of big town in operation for a week, and she will have every appliance that naval ingenuity has yet devised to assist the planes when they set out on their grim missions of destruction.
 The speed of the ship is her great est asset. She will be abIe to slash thru any but the heaviest seas at a rate almost equivalent to a railroad speed of 40 miles an hour. Given that speed and the engine power and fuel capacity to maintain it hour after hour, the carrier could range AoA onCao Ol tuC UdtL1C 1ACCI dAQ then project her air flotilla another 200 or more miles farther to strike the first blow at an approaching enemy. She will be from seven to ten knots faster than the fastest battleship, and only the most mod ern cruisers or destroyers could keep pace with her.
 The navy has had no chance yet to practice with any such weapon as this. The slow, cumbersome and improvised second line carriers so far in service have been able barely to furnish a hint of what such ship as the Saratoga might be ex-
Seward daily gateway., 1925-04-14

though the serviceab ability of the Sar- atoga as a floating hangar and land ing field for airplanes still is to be proven.
 The huge, queer looking craft will carry 1S0,000 horsepower to give her the 33 to 34 knot speed she needs. Her dynamos would furnish all the electricity needed by a city of near ly 100000 population for light, heat, cooking, street cars and nearly ev- cry other purpose; her mighty steam turbines are stronger than the com pines steam power of ail the ships in the navy just few decades ago; her vast flying deck is long enough and broad enough to hold two-old- time battleships set end to end. {.
 And yet the ship is just monster experiment. with the newest form of auxiliary naval power, air power. Her future is written in interroga- ton points, so far as naval experts at home or abroad are concerned; it depends upon actual, practical eype- rience with the launching into air and landing again of the 72 airships that make up her real offensive ar mament The ship herself is just a fast, lightly armed but almost un- armored transport to get her deadly brood of wasps out where they can rain bombs on enemy battle fleets or batteries.
 The original plans for the Saratoga would have set her in the water some years ago as one of fleet of six of the biggest, fastest and most heavily armed battle cruisers ever designed. She would have looked ev- cry inch a fighting ship, the whole SSS feet of her length.
 Redesigned as an aircraft trans port, however, the Saratoga will be one of the strangest in appearance that has ever gone down to the sea. All the top-hamper has gone by the board to leave only the vast flying deck, running her whole length and spreading amidships to an extreme breadth of 105 feet. Crowded over to one side of that deck will be the reduced compass of her stacks, a cramped navigating bridges, and a stumpy mast to rear her wireless aerials aloft. She will look, when completed, like a monster seagoing barge with a misplaced deckload and all the symmetry and beauty of line that would have marked as a cruiser will be lacking.
 But in the g heavy bombers and 40 combat and other types of air. craft designed to clear the air from the decks of the big craft, the Sara | toga will carry potential destruc tive force far greater than would have been the power of her guns

TAXES SHOULD NOT BE
 INCREASED.
(From Juneau Empire.)

With the Federal Government and most of the States and municipalities in the Union reducing taxes and de vising methods for further reductions it would be grievious mistake for the Alaska Legislature to increase taxation in the Territory. The great est service it could render would be to make taxes lower. Even a very slight reduction would have a tre- mendously beneficial effect. It would stimulate investment, and that, above everything else, is what Alaska needs.
 The people of Alaska and their Legislature have not only today to consider. They are building for the future. It is not encouraging to cap ital to invest in Alaska when ac- count is taken of the circumstance that the Territory is being consider ed as single unit-that it's few industries must provide funds for  schools, roads, pensions, matters of public health, subsidies for mail boats and many other things over an area of 600,000 square miles. If we should permit it to become a fixed conviction that the Territory is com mitted to continued growth and cost of its government at the cost of con- stantly increasing taxes we might as we'll bid goodbye to the prospect for anything like quick growth and de velopment. The best assurance that new industries will not be over-bur- dered with high taxation is not to over-burden the industries that we now have.
 And there is another thing that should be considered. Alaska's indus tries, generally speaking, have been experiencing very hard sledding. Her fishing and mining interests have not been making large profits. Probably most of the salmon packin compa- nies have not made any profit dur. ing the last four or five years. None of them have made excessive pro. fits. Many of them have sustained very large losses.
 Alaska is young, and like the in. dividual who starts out in youth to make his way in the world, she must learn to get along without many things that she would like to

pected to accomplish. Maneuvers in which they functioned have beer almost entirely constructive, witt most of the air fleet and carrier ele ments imagined rather than real. Blu during the 1926-27 drills and wa games, with the Saratoga and her gigantic sister, the Lexington, ir commission, there will be real try outs under war conditions, and it is from these that final judgment vii, be drawn as to the place of carriers in future battle formations.
