Zeppelin Airport of
 Internat'l Concern

John A. Fleming, Acting Direct or and Member of the Information al Polar Year Commission, and who is also connected with the Carnegie Institution of Washing ton, has sought the interest of James Wickersham, Delegate from Alaska, in the effort to get an ap- propriation from Congress for the completion of the Zeppelin airport at Fairbanks. A program is now being arranged for 1932-33, and MT. Fleming states that in view of the participation already definite ly arranged by so many other gov ernments, it is a matter of inter national concern that our govern nent should take part as proposed in the occupation of the station near Fairbanks.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary of Treasurer Andrew Mellon yes- terday laid before Congress a new tax program which calls for in creases in taxation of billion dollars a year for the next two years in an effort to wipe out the bulk of the current treasury def icit of 123,OO0,00O and pre- vent any increase in the national debt.
 In addition to drastic increases in income taxes the Secretary urges special taxes ranging from two to ten percent on automobiles, theatre tickets, radios, phono- graphs, checks, drafts, and tele- phone messages. The schedule on income taxes would almost double the number of income tax payers, hitting high and low, rich and poor.
 The tax on incomes of $4000 would be raised to two percent with four percent on the second four thousand and six percent on all above $8000. Personal excep- tions for single tax payers would be cut to 5000 and for married persons to $2,50O.
 One of the sharpest increases in existing taxes proposed is that on tobacco products, which Secretary

Mellon Submits Tax Plan to Maintain
 Stability and Offset 1883 Deficit

Mellon would boost 16 2-3 percent over the present rates. MT. Mellon proposes putting the new program into operation January first, 1882, and hopes to end it on June 30, 1884.
 Between January and July, 1892 he expects $390,000, ,000 in addi- tional revenues and during the fiscal year beginning July first he thinks the government can count on $920,00O,O00 additional income. This would wipe out the anticipat- ed deficit without providing for payments on the public debt. Dur ing the year July i 1888, to June 30, 1894. additional revenues would balance the budget com pletely and meet the public debt payments.
 After studying the Mellon tax boost program Democratic leaders in Congress decided to write one of their own which will win enough Progressive support to in sure it's enactment Acid criticisms were poured on the Mellon pro- posals.
 President Hoover laid before Congress new budget with ap estimated curtailment of govern ment expenditures of ss65,O00,0 ,0o0.

Fishing Boat TaL~n
 From Alien wner

Because of alien ownership, the $10,000 fishing boat Pelican, by judgment of the federal district court in Juneau, was declared for feited to the United States govern ment. The craft is now in charge of the United States marshal pend- ing issuance of an order of sale, which probably will be forthcom- ing from the court after the ex- piration of SO days.
 The owner of the craft was Ernest Rognan, who for a num- Der of years has resided at Hoo nah, Yakutat, Juneau and Seattle. He was born in Norway in 1886 and entered the United States in 1907. He applied for citizenship in the district court in Juneau August 4, 1880.
 His boat was seized by rep resentatives of the United States customs service in Juneau, August 31, 1890.
 During the progress of court proceedings, from the time of the seizure until some time ago, the vessel was allowed to be operated on a bond filed by the Nordby Supply company of Seattle n Ketchikan. She was used by Cap tain Henry Moy, fish buyer, who obtained cargoes of salmon and brought them to Juneau.
 Ou asSuminp charge of the boat, the marshal put her out of commission. He has named A. M Smith as her custodian.

They report the fish are very deep as the best fish ing was from 40 to 65 fathoms and only few of the boats were equipped for that depth.

Your Health
and Proper
Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

By Logan Clendening, M. D.
Undoubtedly the most popular
drug of our day is aspirin. 1t is
used by people for colds, for
headaches, for neuritis, to put
them to sleep, and for I do not
know how many other things.
It was only produced about 80
years ago. 1t is derived from
the salicylates which were
familiar in the treatment of
rheumatism.
Chemically it is acetyl-sali-
cylic acid, or a sort of vinegar
salicylate. The salicylates we're
used for rheumatism and espe-
cially to ease pain. Aspirin is
primarily used for the same pur-
pose.
A "Safe" Drug
1t Is an extremely safe drug.
I say that with all knowledge of
the warnings that are held out
against its bad effects on the
heart. These warnings arose, I
am convinced, from peculiar ex-
periences with certain peculiar
individuals, who have an lido
syncraSy for aspirin. They are a
small part of the population,
but they undoubtedly exist and
equally undoubtedly aspirin af-
fects them very dangerously,
even in the smallest doses. 1t
gives them what looks like a
heart attack-they turn blue,
have difficulty in breathing, etc.
Not Heart Symptoms
For most people, however, it
is perfectly safe. and can be
used in quite large doses with
out harm. The symptoms which
warn you to stop are not heart
symptoms, but ear symptoms
ringing in the ears, deafness, etc.
What will it do? 1 think it
unquestionably is good for in
fections. It is, in my opinion,
the best drug we have for the
early stages of a cold. It GER
tainly helps headaches and
neuritis and pains of all sorts.
Does it put you to sleep? No,
do not think it does. But then,
if :ou take five grains of it, and
think it will put you to sleep
nd you 60 to sleep, the effect
is Just the same as if it did.

"Cut-Out" Problem
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

What can you do when you
care a whole lot about someone
and that someone cares nothing
for you?
This boy and I have been
chums for almost three years,
but in the last month I have
found out that my feeling for
him is something more than
friendship. I love him.
I have avoided him for the
reason that he has another girl
and people would call me a fool
for trying to take him from her.
If he knew of my love for him,
I think he would learn to love
me and drop her.
Should I tell him how deeply
I love him? BUBBLES.
If the young man can be so
easily influenced as to be at the
mercy of first one and then an
other girls charms, it seems to
me he would be no great prize
for either of you. According to
the rules of the game, if he is
not engaged to the other girl,
he is fair game.
