WILD LIFE S0L0Ns ARRIVE IN THE CITY
 WESTWARD VOYAGE

With a study of Alaska game and other wild life, on sea and land. as a part of their mission to the Territory of Alaska, another party, the second within a week, of Congressmen, Senators and heads of Federal departments, ar rived in the city Tuesday after noon from the Westward on board the Bureau of Fisheries vessel Penguin.
 The party was rendered ban quet during the evening by the Seward Chamber of Commerce and during the day were taken for motor trips to Lake Kenai. Early last evening General Man ager Otto F. OhlSon, of the Alaska Railroad, arrived from his An chorage headquarters. and this morning the entire party departed for Curry.

They return to the coast via the Richardson Highway, the Penguin picking them up at either Valdez or Cordova.
 Senator Frederick Walcott, Re- publican of Connecticutt, was the first speaker at the banquet. The Senator is member of the Senate Committee on Wild Life Conser- vation and spoke briefly of the Westward trip just completed.
 "The problems faced by the country in preserving it's wild life are quite serious" he said. Our work is to find the right soutiOn for them"
 Congressman Albert Carter. of Oakland, Calif.. who is serving his fourth term in Congress, when called upon for a few remarks, said he was gathering information in general about the Territory's resources and conditions and that he is trying to help Alaska. Be- ing a member of the Rivers and HarborS Committee, it was his pleasure to assist in obtaining the appropriation for the Seward breakwater and he added he was glad to see the project almost completed.
 Senator Peter Norbeck of South Dakota, another member of the Wild Life Committee, said the party had been Westward for IS days and on 13 of those days it rained.
 Paul Redington, Chief of the U. s. Biological Survey, paying his second visit to Alaska, commented briefly on the trip but in the main, on the successful experi- ment which is being carried on in the Territory with regards to buffalo.

About Tax Relief

Hard times always put an added sting in the tax
collectors visit. No one ever really enjoys paying taxes,
OF course. But it is only when a depression comes that
the average citizen really puts his heart into his COM
plants.
In Ohio, numbers of taxpayers are organizing formal
associations In the hope that something can be done
about tax relief. AS the organizer of one of these
groups said:
when there are 10000 of you in our organization,
and tongues are wagging about us, then we can talk to
them when they threaten foreclosure on our farms and
homes because we can't pay our taxes"
That, of course, is true enough. But to talk to
Them isn't quite enough, where taxes are concerned.
That, in fact, has always been our chief trouble. We
have talked and talked, but we have done very little.
How are you going to reduce taxes-by cutting
down expenditures? Fair enough; and how are you
going to do that?
Suppose it is municipal expenses you want to reduce.
ments? With the school budget? With the street main
tenance department? With the water supply organi-
cation? With the playground budget? With such SER
vices as sewage disposal, garbage collection, building
inspection?
There is hardly a city in the land where cuts could
be made in any of those services without doing genuine
damage. They are essentials; in most cases they need
to be extended, not reduced.
What is the answer, then? Must taxes go on in
creasing, year after year, in good times as well as bad?
Isn't there any hope for a reduction at all?
It isn't quite that bad. The ordinary city can re-
duce its expenses without in any way cutting down any
of these essential services. But every citizen will have
to help, and the Job won't be an easy one.
Government is an affair that is made expensive by
politics. Politics, as we have it today, inevitably means
waste, inefficiency and graft. We put up with it be-
cause we are too lazy and too %prejudiced to create any
thing better; and as long as we do we shall be cursed by
ize-not to talk TO them" but to put his governmental
institutions on a sound and sensible basis.

Daily Health
Talk

One Of the most commin
toms Of which people complain is
ringing in the ear There are sew
eral causes and the condition is
difficult to control.
In a recent survey Of the sub
ject. Mr. r. l.. Wegel classifies this
condition into two types: those in
which the tinnitus, or ringing. is due
to mechanical causes resulting in
actual sound, such as that due to
spasmodic contraction Of the
muscles; and the second type which
originates in the internal ear and
which seems to be largely a nerv-
Gus phenomenon.
Wegel feels that people without
this symptom are extremely rare:
that, In fact, everyone has ring
In gin the ears at one time or an
other. but that most people are
usually not aware Of 1t until It
gets so loud as to interfere con-
siderably with hearing weaker
sounds.
Wegel made a study Of his "
hearing with a view to finding out
just how much ringing actually
occurred. The studies were made
with the most delicate tyyes of
electrical device. and he found that
some ringing occurred frequently.

Beer Bills In Congress

Dispatches from Washington indicate that a flood
of "beer bills will be offered in the House of Represen-
tatives as soon as Congress convenes. In the senate,
likewise, there will be proposals of the same kind. All
in all, a stormy session is in prospect, and the vets are
reported to be nourishing fond hopes that one or another
of their bills will actually get through.
Without in any way going into the merits, or other
wise, of plans to modify the prohibition law, it is a bit
hard to see much reason to expect that the coming con-
gress will enact any of these measures. Figures, tabulat-
ed after the last election showed a comfortable dry
majority in each house. There would have to be a
tremendous shift to give any modification bill even an
outside chance of passage.
