Those who favor this type Of
ship construction have a plan
for building tankers which would
supplement the aircraft carriers
of the Navy.
The plan is to have the bridge,
which on tankers Is located in
the stern of the ship, constructed
on turn table arrangement so
that the bridge could be swung to
one side Of the vessel giving a
full runway for aircraft in case Of

Not Appropriations,
Only Punishment
A new District appropriation bill has been born out
of venom, spite and an ABYsMAL IGNORANCE OF
THE POSITION WHICH THIS CITY OCCUPIES AS
THE CAPITAL OF THE NATION.
The tenor of the and the animus behind the
subcommittee which framed it-and framed to
be the proper word-are clearly shown in the unused
and unjustifiable cut in the Federal appropriation for
the care Of it's Capital and in the legislative provision
dealing with outside employment of District employees.
If further evidence of the desire of members of the
subcommittee to PUNISH the half million persons who
chance to live in Washington is needed slight study
of the hearings on the bill will supply it.
The subcommittee, which had an opportunity
to perform UOrthUhiLe national and local service
by making scientific and sensible study of the
desirabIity of reform and economy in the District
government, cast aside that opportunity.
IT SEEMINGLY DESIRED ONLY TO VENT ITS
SPLEEN ON PoWERLEss LOCAL OFFICIALS AND
V0TELEss LOCAL RESIDENTS.
It's attitude is that those who live in Washington must
be made to suffer though in bringing about that
suffering it is necessary to sacrifice the love and aspra
tons which the people of all America feel for their cap
ital city.
The House BILL submitted would slash the Federal
appropriation from $57OOOOo $370O0OO while at the
same time increasing the total appropriations in the bill
to point where the entire surplus of the city would be
consumed in the next year and in all likelihood deficit
would be created
While the committee which prepared the bill is not
explicit on the matter it is to be assumed from its
port that it justified this action by citing list Of taxes
which may be paid in communities but are not
charged here
IN OTHER WORDS, THE COMMITTEE FEELS
THAT UNTIL WASHINGTONIANS PAY EVERY
TAX WHICH IS PAID IN EVERY COMMUNITY,
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE EX-
PECTED TO DO ITS FAIR SHARE TOWARD MAIN
TANNING THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
There is no attempt the part of the subcommittee
to find out what the legitimate expenses of running
such government as have here and then Of finding
out what respective parts of those expenses should be
paid by the two elements interested in maintaining the
ctv-the residents of Washington and the residents of
the entire country the latter being the real of the
city.
The legislative rider aimed at doctors employed by
the city probably explains the action Of the subcomm
tee in regard to the Federal appropriation
group of DOCTORS not officially connected with the
CITY, attempted to shed light the disgraceul public
health record of the community with view to obtain
ing larger expenditure of local taxpayers funds in
order to bring about Improvement.
This action aroused the ire of the gentleman from
Abilene who dictates the District BILL
&c. after furnishing the city by reduction of the Fed
er appropriation for the action of the DOCTORS he then

Nome Citizens
 Should Vote
 Election Tues.

Your duty as a citizen of the Second Division calls for your vote to be cast in the primary elections to be held throughout the Divi sion tomorrow.
 Whether you are demo cratic or republican, go to the polls and cast your bal lot, and thereby show the representation of the Sec Ond Division.
 The casting of ballots in primary and general cleo tions is of more importance than is generally believed to be the case.
 Derogatory criticism has in many cases attributed a very small population to Nome and the Second Divi sion. This criticism has been based to some extent on the figures obtained at election time, so our crit cizers are not wholly to blame.
 Our voting population at some times has been slow in going to the polls and has thereby drawn an un just criticism to this sec tion of the country.

 Home Guck, publisher of the Chicago Herald & Ex- aminer, says:
 When the late great Will Rogers said, All 1 know is what I read in the papers, he paid high and conscious tribute to the press of America.
 Beyond being it's fore most humorist, he was con sistently one of the nations best-informed citizens. It was what he saW-What he read.
 You remember the old adage, Seeing is believing. No one, you notice, says, Hearing is believing. For through our eyes comes 87 l2 of the knowledge we possess.
 The contents of the news paper of today may safely be believed. It's advertise ments are to be trusted no less than it's editorial col umns. And this is simply because the modern mer- chant realizes as does the modern editor that-It's Plain Good Business to Keep the Faith!
