sl,5OO,OOO DEFICIT
in STATE FUNDS
BY JUNE '35 seen
[cenlinned ION Fhst Paael

- lCoHfiHRed from FrSf Pdgel
The revenue from the Liquor Con
troll Commission which was counted
on so heavily to bolster up the
States finance is said to have been
disappointing.
t'The Legislature when it recon-
venes March g." said an official, ''is
going to be confronted with one OF
the most serious problems and one
of the biggest jobs any General As
sembly has had to contend with for
several years. 1t is not going to be
a question of how and where TO
spend $2,5OO,OOO for relief or any
other purpose. but where to get at
least $500,000 additional revenue to
help the State meet its financial OBJ
legations and to carry on the admin
istration of its financial affairs. This
is going to be a big task and a SER
ious one"
II was pointed out the 104th Cen
eral Assembly will be concerned
only with the deficit that will exist
at the end of the curren fiscal year
on June 80. II will have nothing to
do with the deficit of $1,50O,000 at
the end of the biennium June 30,
1885. That will be the problem of
the Legislature that will be elected
next November and which will con-
Vene January, 1885.
A sales tax is said to be one of
the sources favored most by State
officials and members of the General
Assembly who are familiar with eX-
listing conditions. This is said to he
considered the most equitable and
Just tax that could he imposed by
the State as it would be levied
against practically all the residents.
Another possible source is tax on
incomes over and above a certain
figure. There is said to be no possi-
biiity of a real estate or property
tax as realty owners are believed to
be carrying about all they can af-
ford now.
. The question of the duration of
the session which recOnvenes March |
6 has been causing much specula-
ti0n. Whether the Governor could |
again adjourn the Legislature by |
proclamation as he did last month
has been debated but ii is under
stood legal experts are convinced he
has the right under the Constitu-
tion to exercise this authority at any
time during a special session. 1t has
been intimated the Governor will
give the General Assembly ample
time to consider the important leg
islation of Gevising new sources of
revenue but that If there is a dead
lock between the Republican con-
LIolled Senate and the Democratic
House, such as caused
him to adjourn the Legislature last
month, he will not permit the ses-
sion to continue half as long as did
The one which he ended in Dccem-
b6r.
The members will be serving with
out pay although they will receive
mileage. This is believed will pre-
yent any prolonged deadlock and
hat the necessary measures to be
considered will be disposed of with
n a few days.

CATCHING COLD IN THE CAR

A busy Washington doctor OBJ
serves: "If there is anyone in the
city who hasn't had a cold this
month | haven't heard of him."
Health boards tell us that out of ev-
eryone thousand persons requiring
medical attention during the cold
weather months. 1861 are treated
for colds. The largest percentage of
these cold sufferers are motorists.
Other news from Washington. with

life is to be more worth the living,
it behOOves us all to observe the
health warnings that we NAV read
about in the papers-as Will Rogers
puts it. Poor ventilation. alternat-
ing between hot-hOuse stufiiness
and gale-like, drafts, is held to blame
for most motoring colds. although.

cases of ordinary colds.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
A. SCHOOL LIBRARY
By Albert Farley

He who has read only one book
on history hasn't read any history.
Texts in history are almost invari-
ably chauvinistic. Unless read wide
ly, examining every angle of a his
torical question, we will very like
ly read prejudice. When we are
studying the Civil War we should
read both southern and northern
authors. Our British cousins think
that there are two sides to the Tory
question, and to the War of 1912.
To be fair, we should read British
as we'll as American authors.
A textbook frequently presents the
dry bones" of a subject. This is
necessary in order to keep the size
OF the book within reasonable lin
its. Recently we read a book, with
Whip and Spur" and got ideas about
the Revolutionary War which we
could not get from any textbook. BY
reading a novel, THE Grandissimes,"
we were introduced to the human
side of history. A little book, "Real
Stories of American History" gives
the Flesh and Blood" of the west
cIu lIeh.
If all the children in a geography
class read the same book and moth
ing else, why should they be inter-
ested when George" or Mary" re-
cites? If in addition to the regular
textbook, the children consult sew
eral books. each child can make a
distinct contribution to the recita-
ton.
Modern science is constantly in
creasing our leisure time. A cardi-
nal principle of education is TO teach
people to use their leisure time prof.
itably. An adequate library enables
us to teach appreciation of good lit
erature.
For ten cents we can buy a PAM +,
phlet which will tell us more about /
imports than several dollars worth /

FIRST AVIATOR
 OVER ATLANTIC NOW IN JUNEAU
Commander A. C. Read, of U. s. s. Wright, Flew
 Across in May, 1919

Naval Plane Has Reached Lis bon''-That was the seven-column streamer on the front page of The Daily Empire on May 27, 1919. The story which the streamer headlined told about the arrival across the Atlantic of the naval plane NC-4, Commander A. c. Read, commanding, on the first Atlantic flight.
 This sensation, of fifteen years ago, becomes news again in Ju neau, with the presence here of Capt. Read, commanding officer of the U. S. s. Wright.
 Fifteen years ago last May, members of the House of Represen- tatives cheered the announcement that plane NC-4 is rushing Lis bonward at 90 miles an hour, car rying the American flag in a ship designed by American engi- neers and propelled by American engines"
 Arrives At Lisbon The next day, the Associated Press announced that the Ameri- can Navy had led the way for twentieth century transportation when the naval plane NC-4 ar rived at Lisbon, under the com mand of Commander Read, with a total elapsed flying time from Newfoundland of 26 hours and 43 minutes. Practically the entire population of Lisbon turned out to greet and welcome Commander Read. who was decorated with the Order of Tower and Sword" by the Portuguese Foreign Minister, as mark of special honor Newspapers of May 31 told of the arrival of the NC-4 in Ply mouth, England, where more hon. ors were bestowed upon the pio- neers of the air.
 Following is a translation of a German article, regarding the flight of Capt. Read by Burt M. Mcconnell, who is accompanying the present Alaska expedition as a feature writer for the American Legion Monthly:

brought about new possibility that of bridging the continents of Europe and America. The first conquerors of the Atlantic in the air were American fliers, who were soon followed by the English. The first flier who had the opportunity to cross the ocean was Capt. A. c. Read, who, with three large flying boats took off from Trepassy Bay, Newfoundland, on May .l6 1919, for Horta, a port in The Azores, and from thereito Lisbon. After dark ness set i1l, the three planes be- came separated, and set their courses Independently of each oth- CT. They were soon beset by in- termittent rainfall and heavy fogs One of the big seaplanes, NC-1, came down on the water in order to establish it's position, but was unable to rise, and had to be taken in tow to Horta by Greek steamer. The plane itself had to be sunk later, as it presented a hazard to shipping.
 NC-4 Arrives
 The NC-3 also came down, and had to be brought to the port of Ponta Delgada. The NC-4, with Capt Read as pilot. arrived on May IT at Horta, after covering the l,200 sea miles in IS hours. At Horta the plane was detained by heavy fogs, but was able on May 20 to continue it's flight to Ponta Delgada, where it arrived in two hours On May 27 it con- tinued it's journey to Lisbon, Portugal, where it arrived on the same day. On May 30, Capt. Read continued his journey to Plymouth, England, and with one stop en route, caused by engine trouble, he arrived on May 31. Capt. Read, therefore, was the first to fly the Atlantic
