GONFEREES Of the house and SEN
~ ate devoted the week to the tax
bill. but the results of their labOrS
were uncertain. Messrs. Green and
Garner of the house were firm in
their determination to retain the es,

They said there was no chance for
adoption OF a conference report pro-
viding for the complete repeal Of this
tax, and hat the house would not
yield on this point.
Federal Judge Hand in New York
decided last week that the federal tax
on gifts is unconstitutional when 1t

CURRENT EVENTS
Congress Fairly Liberal in
Appropriations for the
National Defense.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARo

7 Unless congress changes its mind.
- the army and navy, and especial
ly the air services. are to be well pro-
vided for in the appropriation meas
ures. Last week the senate passed
the naval supply hill carrying in round
figures 1921 100000, this total includ-
Ing S26.OO0.O0O for aircraft and naval
aviation. The same day the Wa de-
partment appropriation bill went
through the house. This measur car
ries S339.5OO,OOO. of which S15.25G.OOO
Is to he expended for aviation. Incl
deatally. this house bill provides for n
lump sum appropriation Of S5O,OOO.OO0
for rivers and harbors work.
These two measures are intended to
carry the army and navy only
through the next fiscal year which he
gins July l. but the house committee
on naval affairs recommended the
adoption OF a five-year naval aircraft
building program which calls for the
construction of 1000 new planes at a
cost OF SS5.OOO.OO0. Administration
leaders were confident this would be
passed during this session. Rear Ad-
illIul Albilull ; pun tulltU lot llt eN-
penditure of ~S25O.OOO.OOO In FIVE
years. but the more conservative pro-
gram was all the committee cared to
recommend In view of President
Coolidge's position on economy.
The committee proposes the con
struction Of 235 airplanes at a cost Of
S12.2S5.0O0 In the fiscal year 1927 IN
addition to rs planes at a cost Of So
100000 under other legislation. In
addition the committee proposes the
construction of two rigid alrshlps
costing Ss.OOO.OOO to be begun prior
to July l. 1927, and an experimental
metal-clad alrshlp costing 100000.
The pending naval appropriation
bill contemplates the expenditure of
not more than 100000 on new air
craft In the fiscal year 1927. Under
the program recommended the re-
quirement for 1927 would be- between
S13.OOO.OOO and S~20,OOO.OOO. Repre-
sentative French. In charge OF naval
appropriations, said that the addition
nj amount OF from 100000 to SILL.
100000 would not be appropriated for
1927 unless the budget bureau should
recommend II. This puts the r%eallza-
ton OF the naval aircraft construction
program up TO the Executive.

~ has just ordered the closing of all
colleges. schools and asylums in the
country that are conducted by the Ro-

are rather peeved by this measure,

of the order is the throwing out on

This has enabled Ketchikan
buyers to pay the fresh fish
price instead of buying on the
freezing basis. AS the price
is attractive, many vessel own
ers prefer to land at Ketchikan,
rather than proceed to Prince
Rupert or Seattle. Just at
present many boats which spend
the closed season in Seattle are
passing through Ketchikan with
their fares on their last trip.

Thus begins a base falsehood printed in the
Juneau Empire of November LIST. This news
was sent to all major points in Alaska for the
purpose of misleading the electors
The article goes on; Judge James Wicker
sham and Delegate Dan Sutherland in speeches

picked William L. Paul, the Indian lawyer and
leader of the Indian political organization for
Delegate to Congress the successor of Dan
Sutherland when the latter decides that he is
through serving in that capacity. Both Judge
Wickersham and Sutherland lauded Paul and
his qualifications for the office of Delegate to
congress to represent the people of Alaska"
Following that statement is the usual charge
that Paul and Sutherland bargained and barter
ed for Indian votes"
The Truth
The basis for this falsehood was in a state
ment made by Judge Wickersham when he was
pointing out the unfairness of the attacks made
on Paul by the Juneau Empire and Ketchikan
Chronicle. His remarks were in part as follows;
If these papers do not quit abusing Paul. at
lacking him unfairly, and giving him all this
free advertising, they will force him to become
delegate to congress-"

The Juneau Empire in its editorial columns
has qualified as an expert in the meaing of In
dian words when it stated recently that "Siwash"
is good Chinook jargon word" and that the
Indians of Alaska wrong in regarding it as
term of opprobrium.
We have been uncertain to the origin of
the nickname "Clallam Johnny" but probably
it signifies adoption into some tribe of Puget
Sound Indians. However adoption into a Puget
Sound tribe hardly qualities expert
in the past history and customs of the Thlinget
people of Alaska.
Of course, the Empire will continue to call
the Alaska Indians "Siwash" and continue to
wonder what the secret of controlling the In
dian vote' is.
