 The legislatures. of 43 States will meet within the next few days, and their gatherings will probably spell an nearly farewell to lame ducks. the odds being that twentieth amendment to the Constitution, under which each new CongressywiH take office January 8 following election, immediately ousting defeated members, will be ratified before the currentalan5e duck congress passes out arlaMaFeh A., Un the President and Nne President will der the provision of the amendment assume their posts Jannual;E 20.

ASK Mail by
 Dog Teams
PETITION ASKS RE-ESTABLISH. MENT OF MAIL ROUTE, NE
 MANA TO FLAT.

The following petition, asking that dog team service for transporting the mail be re-established on the line be- tween Nenana and Flat, was recently put in circulation here and is being numerously signed:
 "To Honorable Anthony J. Dimond,
 Delegate Elect to Congress:
 "We, the undersigned, residents of che Interior, desire you to use all hon. orable means, in our behalf, to have the mail carried by dog team, as for merly up to 1850, fer the following reasons:
 q. By having the mail hauled by dog teams, the trails are always kept open between Nenana and Flat, and epther localities.
 "2. Mail carried by plane works "a hardship on trappers and prospectors in having to break their own .trails for hundreds of miles. Under such con- ditions these citizens are handicapped and discouraged, and tend to retard the development of the natural re- sources of the
 "3. People living along the trails, who have established roadhouses, about every 20 miles, and cleared off patch of land, are left practically isolated. They have to abandon their business and homes and seek other fields for livelihood. A. Prospectors and trappers, with cabins along the trails, perhaps hun dreds of miles from any airplane landing field, will be without mail for many months and have to travel to the nearest postoffice of such landing field, at a great expense of theirgown time and money. Whereas, with dog teams, the mail carrier delivers the mail practically at the cabin door. In case of need of provisions or other necessities they can always send out with the mail carrier and have the same delivered to their place of. resi- dence.
 "5. Thenati vesoftheco ntryu K "5. The natives of the country, who catch, prepare and sell fish for dog consumption, amounting to many thousands of dollars annually, are de- prived of this means of earning a liv- ling, without which they are practical ly destitute.
 "6. With the mail being carried by dog teams nearly all revenue received 1 from such contract is circulated in the district, whereas 'by plane hardly any ! is put back into circulation, in each respective district"

Senate passed Bill last night per-
hitting the City to increase the Sales
tax. The clause providing for a
tax on all sales on the New York
Stock Exchange was dropped.

Sales taxes for the city be authoriz-
ed, and not any other taxes on out
side stock sales.

proposals of Governor Lehman and
Samuel Untermeyer are in the direc-
ton of, more wage cuts for city en-

Sales tax which costs the consum-
ers millions every year.
