$3.50, per athlete will be spent to
transport the athletes and house them
while at Los Angeles The model

The Kings Coin.

Discovery recently in the mails in
this country of internal machines, two
OF which exploded with fatal results,
revealed a plot by anti-Fascfsts against
officials Of the Italian government sta
toned in America and others friendly
to the present regime in Italy. 1t was
doubtless on that account that when
a few DAYS ago several packages ar
rived IN Italy from America addressed
to the King and some others OF high
rank that suspicion was Immediately
aroused lest they be of q numerous
character. The head of the customs
service at Naples, where the mail ar
rived, boldly took it upon himself to
open the suspected parcels. They
proved to be Of an eptrely innocent ma
ture. One of them held some rolls OF
oilcloth sent from a New York depart
ment store. Two Of them contained
albums of Photographic scenes of Cali
fornia. The fourth,'a small box mailed
from Newark, contained nothing more
dangerous than an old American coin
It was that which had been addressed

Bona Eide Deaf Persons
Do Not Beg for Charity
To the Editor of The Star:

To The Editor OF The Star:
In The Star of, January there ap-
peared a headline which said Police
Probe Deaf Begging Racket" DR.
L. M. Lucas had complained to the
police of being approached several times
recently for funds to help self styled
deaf mutes to go to school to learn
q trade.
1t is certainly racket" and this
by the public that the deaf do not
beg, and absolutely not for such pur-
poses as these men who approached
DR.. Lucas.
To use curious yet perhaps per-
fectly legitimate description, bona fide
deaf person never begs for funds for at,
education, because every State in the
Union and the District of Columbia
have free schools for these people. This
is, however, favorite plea with i'm
posters. The National Association of
the Deaf proSecutes such impostors
wherever apprehended. The last thing
any one Of these impostors' desires is
to be confronted by bona fide dear
person.
The writer wishes to thank DR.. Lucas
for bringing this matter to the stten-
ton OF the police, realizing the harm
and Misrepresentation such racketeers
do to the deaf people as q class,
He does, however, wish to correct any
erroneous impression caused by DR..
Lucas saying that he Understands the
District provides agencies to care for
these unfortunates without the neces-
sity of door-to-door .canvassing." In
the first place, deaf people are not "un-
fortunates," although admittedly handi-
capped Secondly, there are no agencies
In the District nor anywhere else to
take care of them in that sense Of the
expression, because the deaf are al A
class as self-respecting and self-sup-
porting body of citizens as any. Most
Of ALL bona fide deaf persons does not
beg. FREDERICK H. HUGHES.

Military Government
Proposed for Hawai-
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The controlling reason for our acqui
sition Of the Hawaiian Islands was that
they are the key to the Pacific and
are indispensable to our national Sc
curity, particularly the defense and
protection of our Western coast and the
Panama Canal. Unless they are to
serve these ends there is little justi-
fication for our possession of them.
They are territory of the United
States and in the matters of govern
ment and control are entirely subject
to the jurisdiction of the Congress.
But In a moment of exalted altruism
and without any vision of the future,
which has characterized all our ven
lures in territorial government, we very
unfortunately and mistakenly made
them practically sef-goyerning and
autonomous, the effects of which have
but recently manifested themselves
most painfully.
The islands are populated with a
heterogeneous lot of all nationalities.
The greater number, however, are the
Kanakas, who are the aborigines, and
were cannibals within the memory of
living man, and very low class of
Japanese. To have given these islands,
under such circumstances, autCno-
lous, but for the grave potential danger
it involves for the United States. Con-
trast, If you will, such an act with
the denial of the right Of suffrage to
the residents of the District of Co
lumbia, whose az age of character and
intelligence is tie highest in our
country.
In view of the present situation in
the Orient and the lawless and de-
moralized conditions in Hawaii, Con-
gress should lose no time in making
these islands strictly military and
naval outpost, which they are by ma
ture and geographical situation and
were intended to be when we took
them over, and put them without de-
lay under a military form of govern
ment. If this is not done the time
will come when they will prove to be
a disastrous liability to us instead of
an asset, which could be easily dem
onstrated If space permitted.
The writer feels that he can speak
with some little authority on this sub
ject, as he spent five years in the
Orient and has often visited the Ha-
| waiian Islands.

might suggest that in the great State
of New York, which has had Demo-
cratic chief executive for years, there
has been a lack of proper leadership. -
and from that lack the State now finds
itself In a position where it is neces-
sary to increase taxes and cut govern
mental expenditures.
The business depression has hit the
revenues Of New York State hard, just
as it has greatly reduced the revenue of
the Federal Government. The business
depression has been felt greatly in New
York. But the depression has been due
to economic causes beyond the control
of either the Federal or the State gov
eminent. If the Federal Government
the Congress and the Executive-failed
to trim sail in the face of this on
coming storm or even after the storm
broke, as it has been charged, then 1t
appears that the same boot fits the
New York State government-the Legis-
lature and the Governor. Gov. Roose-
welt, like his predecessor, Alfred E
Smith, had hostile Legislature, politi-
cally, on his hands, and still has such a
Legislature. But the President of the
United States has been similarly placed,
with coalition of Democrats and in
surgent Republicans in the Senate
dominating in that body.
New York, like the Nation, faces a
condition and not theory. 1t needs
more revenues and must increase taxes
If it Is to maintain stable government
The wise thing is to levy the increased
taxes in manner which will spread the
burden and bring it upon those who
can best bear it. The House Ways and
Means Committee In Washington is be-
ginning its hearings on a tax measure
for the whole country and a similar
committee of the State Legislature in
Albany will soon be undertaking a
comparable task. A minimum of poll
tics and a maximum Of real statesman
ship is needed

Admiral Attacks Plan
To Cut Federal Wages
TO the Editor of The Star:

20 the Editor Of The Star:
In this moot question of reducing the
salaries of employees of the United States
Government the most important point
has been entirely overlooked. During
the past decade and half Of so-called
prosperity the pay of artisans through
out the country was raised by 100 per
cent to $50 per cent, the Congress raised
the pay of its own members 1913 per
cent, as well as that of certain other
high officials of the Government, while
in commercial life the salaries of execu-
tives rose to untold heights. During
this boom period the salaries Of civilian
employees of the United States Govern
ment and also of the Army and the
Navy were either not raised at all, or. II
raised, then only by small amount,
relatively speaking, and then generally
IN special cases.
Now during this defunct boom, whose
obsequies we have all recently attended,
S. shoes went up in price to from sl2 to
SIS. and all rents, food and clothing
followed suit. Those who had received
commensurate raise in pay were able
TO meet this gouge more or less COM
placently, but the employees of the Gov
eminent, civil. military and naval, had
h"Adkiy AldAu SIcuulllS. NJ VIC "a CoShAS
time prices Of commodities necessary TO
life are coming down to a fairer figure,
and the heretofore neglected Govern
ment servants, the humble ones, whose
voices have heretofore fallen upon deaf
Governmental ears, are beginning TO
have square meal and some clothing
to keep out the cold. And now on
many sides is heard the suggestion that
these salaries, which were never raised
in boom times, be reduced.
The Government employees unques-
tionably are loyal to the United States
OF America and always have been, but
they will not stand for injustice from
legislators or others. Let the Congress
first reduce its own pay by 1919 per
cent, where 1t was before the boom, so
that all may start on the same level
once more, and then, thereafter, let any
reduction that may have to be made
in the interest of necessary economy be
applied in equal percentage to the mem
bers OF the Congress themselves, and
then the patriotic employees of the Gov
eminent will loyalty respond If and
when a general reduction becomes nee
essary.
1t behooves the employees of the Gov
eminent to scrutinize the proceedings Of
their representatives in the Congress
very closely, tor the recent passage by
the House. of Representatives of unjust
tax laws to burden the helpless in
habitants of the District of Columbia
shows total disregard of first prin-
ciples of justice, and almost anything
may therefore be expected. Govern
ment employees should jealousy guard
their right to vote in their respective
States, and those who have carelesSly
lost the privilege should take prompt
steps to regain it.
The Republican party elephant will
need to do some tall hustling to indicate
his real usefulness in order to soothe
public opinion, and the Democrats will
also need to look sharp as to where
the feet of their donkey wander between
now and next November.

The New York Deficit.

President Hoover has found 1t i'm
perative TO take the lead in bringing
about increases in Federal taxes to
balance in part huge Treasury deficit.
And now, 1t appears, the Governor of
New York, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
recognized as the leading candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomination,
faces parallel financial problem in
the Empire State. Gov. Roosevelt has
submitted his annual budget bill to the
State Legislature calling for one hun
dred per cent increase in the taxes on
incomes. two-cent emergency tax on
stock transfers and other taxes. The
Democratic Governor Of New York is
not likely 10 find his increased taxation
program any more popular in that
State than the Republican President
has found his proposals for increased
Federal taxes are popular throughout
the entire country. But increased taxes
are necessary in New York State to
meet the 1924, 000, 900 State treasury def
icit, just as they are In the whole United
States to meet the estimated $4,000, 000,-
900 deficit which the Federal Treasury
may face ut the end Of the next fiscal
year unless there be q change IN reve-
nues and expenditures. The New York
State deficit may be materially increased,
too, by the close OF the next fiscal year
, unless steps are taken to bring In great
er revenue.
The Governor of New York, like the
President of the United States, in his
budget message also has recommended
considerable reductions in the govern
| mental expenditures. Gov. Roosevelt
apparently has anticipated criticism Of
the fiscal program, for he has asked
| for constructive rather than destruc.
tive criticism, for the production o.
substitute plans to accomplish the pur.
pose he has in mind, the ultimate bal
ancing OF the budget. Failing such
constructive criticism, the Governor be

mouths shut. Perhaps he visuslizeS 8
