WILL RESU M f
FLIGHT MONDAY

COLON, Panama, Jan. 20 up -
Preparation for Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh's flight to Caracas is be-
ing hastily completed. Lindbergh is
expected OF arrive at France Field at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon on his
return from hunting trip in the
neighborhood of David. some 200 miles
from here.
Russell Vorheis, the Wright me-
chanic, said today that the Spirit of
st. Louis was in fine shape for the
contemplated trip to Caracas, and
thence to st. Thomas, Haiti, Porto
Rico, and Havana. The historic plane
is still in the Hangar at France Field,
with the flag of every country visited
painted on the fuselage.
The actual time for Lindbergh's
hopoff for Caracas has not been fix
ed. At France Field it is said that
his start will depend entirely on his
wishes.
1t is considered unlikely that he
will start for Caracas Sunday, and
those most interested figure he will
take his final departure from Panama
Monday.

For more than 100 years there
have been protests against the in
creasing power of the president, but
that power has continued to grow
Some serious thinkers insist that the
executive power today, for all that
it appears often under the guise of
cabinet officers prerogative, is
perfectly appalling.
1t is now proposed-or seemed to
be in SecretaSA Melons last letter
to Senator Smoot-that taxation be
taken from among the remaining
powers of congress and placed under
executive control along with govern.
ment expenditure on the ground that
it is poor business for one set of
men tc decide what the appropriations
and expenditures shall ne while an
other group fixes the taxes from
which the revenue is to be collected.
Secretary Melons row with members
of congress over the extent to which
taxes can be reduced without causing
a treasury deficit illustrates the
point
1t might not be good thing to
toss any more power to the executive
