ONE MAN RULE
Of RAILROADS
CONSIDERED

President Roosevelt Is studying
a revolutionary proposal to abol-
ish the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission and place Federal control
over railroads under a director OF
transportation.
Commercial aviation, trucks.
buses and other forms Of air, land
and sea transportation also would
come under the director.
It has been known previously
that Mr.. Roosevelt was consider.
ing a new super commission to
handle all transportation agencies.
One Man Control
He is now thinking of going a
step further toward concentration
of power and instead of creating
another commission would place
the gigantic task under control OF
one man, directly responsible to
him. In effect, he would thus die
tate transportation policies.
The plan is in line with the
Presidents determination to end
Government by commissions and
bureaus, which he feels are para
lying efficiency, and substitute
centralized control.
The plan would not be limited
to transportation. 1t would be
extended until scores of Federal
commissions, each with large per.
sonnel and heavy expenditures,
would vanish from the Washing
ton scene.
Much Opposition Seen
Commissions have been the out
growth of the increasing tendency
to absorb more and more activi-
ties under the Federal aegis.
Many commissions have direct re-
! sponsibility neither to the Presi-
dent nor to Congress.
The President is fully aware of
the opposition the unprecedented
proposal would arouse in Con-
gress, but he is convinced the
new economic situation requires
more flexible machinery to meet
rapidly changing conditions.

Alley" But father spoke roughly
to us. He said that 'such fairs
HI room" But, he continued, If
us boys would take care of the corn
crop that fall, he'd take us to fair
that was fair. This was back in
1876, the year of the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia. 1t is
needless to say that very few snow
flurries hit those corn shocks that
fall. In looking over the pictures of
that exposition, it was interesting
to note some of the changes which
have taken place in the lapse Of 81
years.
The Centennial buildings were
beautiful for architecture, partic-
ularly the main hall, as it was
constructed mostly of iron and glass
and at that time, was the largest
building in the world 1t was at
this exhibition that people stood
and gazed in wonder at solitary
bright light. This light was not for
any purpose of utility, not at all, it
was because it was produced by
electricity Few of us realized at
that time the possibilities of that
single lonely light. That the hand
of Liberty Enlightening the
World" which, at that time was
just outside the building, would
grasp that light to welcome mill
ions of visitors seeking our shores.
Or how cities and towns would be
instantly lighted; and in time,
would produce the most gloriuos il
luniinations of expositions yet to
come. 1t was a quarter of CEN
tury later at the Pan-American EX-
position at Buffalo, N. Y, that the
electric light played such an i'm
portant part. The Electrical Tower,
Illuminated Water fall, and foun-
all clearly outlined by thousands of
incandescent bulbs, lending a grand
eur of brilliancy, such as had never
been seen before. Fourteen years
later, San Francisco; Panama Ex-
position; presto! change Some
thing new Buildings all illumi-
mated but no bright lights visible.
Hidden flood light, that's the idea.
The lights We're concealed, illumi-
mating the facades with a flood of
soft light, without any dazzling
brilliancy, and this in combination
with pleasing color scheme. This
combined light and color scheme
was worked out apparently to per-
fection on the Tower of Jewels. The
hooded light and color effect com
bined with thousands of sparkling
spangles, produced a monument of
beauty such as no mortal had ever
beheld, and so far as we know,
at the Century of Progress EXPOSE
tion just closed at Chicago, where
this beautiful lighting effect and
color scheme was worked out to the
greatest degree of perfection. Words
fail us to describe the beautiful and
impressive effect that these immense
strangely constructed buildings
with massive rectangular towers,
and huge fluted pylons all painted
in rich and variegated colors, when
these hidden flood lights bathes the
facades and portals of this magic
city with soft vapory cloud effect.

setting of the sun Dull and stupid

SENATE PASSES
 HOUSE MEASURE ON SUSPENSION
Assessment Work Suspend ed but Only to Those
 Unpaying Income Tax

While the Senate has passed the bill suspending annual assessment work on unpatented mining claims in the United States, including Alaska, it limited it to those own- CTS of claims who are not paying an income tax, according to As sociated Press reports received to- day by The Empire.
 The measure passed the House several weeks ago without any linn itation. It will now go back tc the House for approval of the amendment which was presented by Senator Borah.
 Under Federal mining laws, S10( worth of work is required to be performed annually on unpatent- cd mining claims This is the law sought to be suspended by tht measure. The Senate amendment will exclude claims owned by per sons paying income taxes.

The purpose of the problem is to test the entire force of the navy under surprise conditions such as they would meet in war.
 No shots win be fired but the most intricate gun-play possible with modern equipment will be used from anti-aircraft to gunnery from the turrets of huge war ships. Men will work with clock Ike precision, handling and plac- ing shells and powder just as thought they were actually in war.
 Turrets Like Cylinders
 One of the most dramatic focal points of action will be in the battleship gun turrets. There's a steel cabin on the deck which shell ters the gunning crew for a set up of two or three large guns as the case may be. The brooches of the guns are also in the turret but they nose out into the air, point ing sidewise or up or down as the target demands.
 The turrets, five or six to the ship, are like steel cylinders that descend through two or three lev els of the vessel down into the

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 10.- Somewhere between Alaska and Southern California a victorious fleet of destroyers may land this month with the sannihiliation" of the United States navy battle forces to it's credit.
 The annual winter problem of the navy this year is one in which the scouting force must attempt to gain foothold somewhere along the American west shore while the battle force attempts to hold it off.
 Like an Athletic Contest
 The scouting force is on it's way from Hawaii and the battle" will take place any day now. Follow ing, there will be a concentration of the fleet in the San Francisco San Diego area.
 The maneuvers are planned somewhat in the manner or an athletic contest with a goai set but the manner in which 1t is to be attained is just as much a secret as the mannes in which a football team is to score its touchdowns.
