TAX REDUCTION
PROGRAM MADE
BY DEMOCRATS
Drafted Program Makes Re
duction of Five Hun
dred Million Dollars

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE Dem
ocratic members of the Senate FL
nance Committee yesterday drafted
proposed tax reduction of $500, ,000.-
600 this year approximately $40
100000 more than in the House Rev
enue Bill.
This reduction would increase the
House reductions on incomes of
$4,000 to 100000 and repeal the
taxes on capital stock, admissions
and dues.
Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, announcing the tax re.
duction program, urged payment of
the Public Debt from the Sinking
Fund and application of foreign war
debts to the sinking fund.
The Senate Finance Committee
has approved the income tax reduc,

CINE will drive this plane nearly
1920 miles without refueling.
Both the planes are Fokkers, They
have been purchased by the Board
of Control of the Detroit Arctic
Expedition and will start early in
the new year on their long journey
to Point Barrow, Alaska, whence
Capt. George H. wilkins will at
tempt to fly across the unexplored
polar sea to Spitzbergen.
Only one of them will be used on
the transpolar jump, but both of
them will be used in flights over
the ice pack in case Capt. Wilkins
discovers new land. The choice Of
the plane to be used on the longer
flight will be made by Capt. Will
kins after he reaches the Arctic.
Consequently the earliest stage of
the flight-the 40Omile hop from
Fairbanks, Alaska, to Point Barrow
will be a test

than planes, because the planes
are identical in type, although the
machine will have Il
greater wing-spread. The test flight
will determine whether a water-coOl-
ed Liberty or an air-cooled Wright
performs more satisfactorily under
Arctic conditions
In this race each of the planes will
have certain advantages on paper.
The single-engined machine will have
greater flying radius. The hop
from Point Barrow to Spit2bergen is
about 2,100 miles and the Liberty
engined Fokker should do that cas-
lily, even if it should meet adverse
winds over part of the journey. The
range of the three-engined ship will
be less, but entirely adequate in per
feet weather. From the point of view
of range alone. it would necessarily
yield to the smaller craft

told time and again of the tremend-
Gus mineral resources in Alaska sud
that is as far as it goes"
Representative Louis C .Cramp-

SEATTLE, Jan. 11.-A. H. Son.
sthagen herring fleet operator of
Douglas, Alaska, visiting here, said
fish in Alaskan waters cannot find
their way home because the japanese
current is believed to have strayed
from its course taking it's warmth to
new waters and forcing the fish to
find new havens.
SOnsthagen said the "habits of the
fish changed with the climate and
the habits have chagned since the
Japanese earthquake and the direc-
tion of the Japanese current has
also changed since the earthquake.
