Conferees, Now Is Law
Wet and Dry Conflict.

A PROVED by the house and sen
a ate and signed by President Cool
idge, the revenue act of 1926 as
fixed up by the conference committees
is now law. The house accepted the
conference report by a vote of 354 to
% The negative votes represented
the opposition Of the radicals to re-
auctions of high surtaxes and estate
taxes and the protest of another group
that wished the estate tax completely
repealed
Republicans recorded in the mega
tive were Representatives Beck,
Browne, Lampert, Nelson. Peavey.
Schafer Schneider and volgt of Wis
consin, Ramsey tIowa), Anthony and
Hoch (Kan), Johnson, Christopherson

Ten senators voted against the bill,
with 81 recorded In favor Of It. The

Dem, s. c.. and Trammell tDem.,
Fla), and Shipstead tFarmer-Labor,
Minn.).
With the exception of Senator Tram
nell who registered his protest
against the continuance of the estate
tax, the opposition was based chiefly
upon reductions In high surfaces and
estate tax rates, repeal Of publicity and
other features which the more radical
senators have attacked
BY the new law the governments in
come is reduced by about 1887 001,-

lea, supported by most Of the Demo-
Gratis and by the radical Republicans;

for an investigation of the alleged
activities of the Hungarian minister
to the United States to bring about the
recent exclusion of the Countess

which the United States was not on
friendly terms. 1t charges that the

DRESlDENT COOLIDGE lets it be
known that he is opposed to the
development of military aviation on
the scale advocated by Col. William
Mitchell and his followers because in
his opinion it would entail what he re-
CARDS as an enormous and uniustitied
expense and also would foster the
same spirit Of militarism in this coun-
try as moved Germany TO embark in
the World war Furthermore, he
thinks It would cause a renewal of the
old game Of armament competition be-
tween nations. The President urges
the passage of the bills introduced
which carry into effect the recon-
mendations of the Morrow aircraft
commission.
The White House spokesman says
Mr.. Coolidge is extremely gratifed by
the performances Of this congress up
to date. He does not hesitate to pro
nounce It a record breaker in prompt
disposition of the tax bill, the world
court resolution, appropriation bills
and other bills, aud is not surprised
that the leaders now expect TO clean
up work and adjourn the session by
June /. He regards it entirely feas-
lille to dispose Of agricultural and rail
road labor bills, Muscle Shoals, war
debt settlements, remaining appropria-
ton bills. and the aircraft program
without prolonging the session beyond
that date

OUTFIT IN WRANGELL

Hundreds of miners. prospectors and sportsmen have their eyes on the Cassiar country and are plan ming to look it over this spring and summer Recognizing this fact the business houses in Vancouver, B. o.. are advertising extensively in an ef- fort 10 convince the public that it is good business to outfit on the Cana dian side for a trip into Canadian territory.
 Seattle merchants. who have had the bulk of Northern business so long that they feel it to be theirs by divine right are, as usual. trust ing in the Lord to keep it for them and spending no publicity money.
 As a matter of fact parties bound for the Cassiar are foolish to outfit in either Vancouver or Seattle The merchants of Wrangell are prepared with large stocks of exactly the class of merchandise needed at prices that are right. Wrangell is the gateway to the Cassiar via the Stikine river and the logical place to outfit.
 The duty at the border will bring the cost of supplies up to possibly ten per cent more than if purchased in Canada, but old-timers who know the difference in quality between Canadian and American food-stuffs will not argue over ten per cent difference in price as against twen- ty-five per cent difference in quality.
 If we were quitting a dozen par ties for the Cassiar, every pound ot merchandise would be purchased in Wrangell, from stocks selected foi just that purpose by merchants who know, and loaded, properly packed on the river boat. The difference il convenience alone offsets any prob able difference in cost.
 By all means outfit in Wrangell
