NAVY SEEKING
TO "M0DERNIZE"
FIVE MORE SHIPS
By CARL D. GROAT
United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1927, By United Press


WASHINGTON, Oct. II. = The
navy department wants authority
to modernize' five more battle
ships, bringing the total modernized
craft of this class to IS.
It also intends to present the pre-
Geneva secret building program OF
it's general board, approved by Sec
retarv of Navy Curtis ID. Wilbur
for budget and congressional action
in view of the failure of the Geneva
conference.
Secretary Wilbur today revealed
this much of the navy's plans for
upbuilding of the American sea
forces and coupled it in United
Press interview, with statement
to the nation that he views the
navy as a great national "educa-
ton asset" imbued with a spirit of
serviceD and rounding out the ed
ucation of many youths annually.
For a country so enthusiastic over
education as ours, the navy offers
opportunities for learning which
must be taken into consideration
when one begins to deal with the
cold figures of tonnage and costs
of defense insurance, he suggested.
The modernization process for
battle ships consists in altering the
vessels to cope with the modern
qerial and long range gun menace.
1t might be described to the layman
as a process of "building ship
around a ship.
The ship is protected from above
by reinforcing it horizontally. 1t
is shielded from torpedoes or from
the long range gun whose muzzle
curves downward as it strikes, by
erection of a sort of protective
"sllin" about the ship.

Suggested Tax
Cut Impossible
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL. - The
financial outlook of the government
indicates that tax reduction of
$3.50, 100000 or $4OO,0OO,OOO as rec
commended by the United States
Chamber of Commerce would be un-
feasible, in the opinion of President
Coolidge, it was announced today at
the White House.
Such a reduction would result in
deficit, Mr.. Coolidge believes.
The chambers suggested plan was
for an immediate reduction and re-
peals in federal taxes, estimated to
amount to $4O0, 100000 in the first
full year after the changes are
made.
Corporation tax would be cut to
10 percent and federal taxes on
estate and war excise taxes would
be abolished under the plan.

POLITICAL
PROPOSAL
REJECTED.
Labor Convention Turns
Deaf Ear to Plea For
Third Party.
DELEGATE REBUKED
President Green Gives
Verbal Spanking to
Speaker.
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. IA plea
for an independent political party
to serve the interests of city work.
ers, farmers and progressives gen
orally, was made before the forty
seventh annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor to-
day.
The appeal made by Max S.
Hayes, of Cleveland, delegate of the
Typographical Union, marked the
introduction of the topic into the
convention and was greeted with
only mild applause by the dele
gates, the temper of the convention
apparently opposing the PROPOSE
ton.
Shouting denunciation of the old
party "bosses,' Hayes urged that
the unions organize for the election
of federal judges and the "presi-
dent of the United States who APP
points them
Hayes spoke on the recommenda-
tion Of the convention executive
counsel for the curbing of injunc
tion proceedings. He attacked the
Sherman antitrust law, asserting
that it was aimed at the right of
the workers to organize and charg
ed that the Clayton act was like
wise used to curb labor.
He suggested that in ease the old
political parties refused to 60 on
record in favor of abolishing the
injunction and restraining the pow
or of the equity court, conference
be called of representatives of un-
ions, farmers and liberals, for the
purpose of inaugurating a third po-
litical party.
Third partics,' he declared,
lido not have to carry elections in
order to win. Their threat causes
the bosses of the old political par
ties to grant legislative conces-
sions.'
LaFollette Move Success
HAYES said that the LaFollette
independent movement, which poll
cd more than 100000 votes, was
a success and should have encourag-
cu clIN WbThtTS anu ldrHiciS W ="
on and perfect tl'is political organi-
cation.
''With the tremendous unrest,
now existing in the farming com
munities and with the support of
the liberal and progressive group
ne said. "we can renew our fight
and roll up more than 100000
votes in the next election.'
p "If this happens 1 don't think
you will have to beg very long in
order to secure n square deal,' he
continued.
President William Green laid
down the gavel to administer n
vigorous verbal spanking to Hayes.
"Hayes is the same old Max,
Green declared. "I admire his en-
thusiasm and sincerity, but l can
not agree with his logic.
eff the American Federation of
Labor would follow the policy of
independent political action it
would sink into the depths of des-
pair" Green declared asserting
that the labor movement should not
"isolate Itself but should seek
the cooperation and support of the
peneral public.

SPEAKERS TELL
STATES ST AND
AT CONFERENCE
Rose, Childers and Dowd
Defend Course Pursued
At Denver.

Three well delivered addresses
marked the meeting of the Ameri-
can Conservation Club which was
held in its clubrooms on State street
last night. The addresses all relat
ed to the Boulder Dam bill and the
ALLEGATION of Colorado River waters
and were given by Mark Rose, C..
l.. Childers and M. j. Dowd, Off
cials of the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict.
The men in the address sought to
bring out California's stand in the
recent conferences held at Denver
relative to the water ALLEGATION.
"We received many kilograms
and letters from the valley while in
Denver urging us to make almost
any concession in order to bring
Arizona into the river pact,' At
torney Childers declared. "But
this was point that we had to
stand firmly behind. There would
have been little use for us to gain
point which meant creation of
Boulder Dam if we would have Civ
en- away our rights to the water
which it held.
"Boulder Dam is still in the off
ing and we cannot afford to make
a mistake in preparing for it. But
while we failed to accomplish a pact
in our dealings at Denver, the con-
fcrences there did much toward an
ultimate solution. Both Arizona and
California representatives, laid their
cards on the table at the meeting.
Those present realized that the de-
mands of California are just ones.
But like many others they sought to
break their way through to a hur-
ried compromise of all differences
and as a result urged California to
yield to Arizona's demands. The
California commission deserves much
credit for its stand in the matter
for it refused to be egged into a
pact which would in time prove
foolhardy.' -
Arizona Demands Unreasonable
Engineer Dowd in his talk also
stressed the point of the state s
rights. He pointed to the fact that
right at the present moment four
government dams are being erected
in the state of Arizona. He ex-
planned Arizona s wants in the
present Boulder Dam situation.
"Arizona is practically asking
the government to convert its lands
into 40-acre farms, build houses up
on it and have it ready and waiting
for people to step in to the homes.
This in addition to supplying it with
water. And then they object to
California's demand for enough
water to keep the state
Director Mark Rose gave a brief
outline of the wany problems faced
by the conference.
While all three speakers spoke
somewhat disparagingly of ever hop
ing to reach an agreement with Ari-
