DEFENSE WEEK
CELEBRATION
ON FRIDAY

National Defense Week will be
celebrated this year over a Today
period beginning Friday, national
officers Of the Reserve Officers
Association of the United States
announced today.
Throughout the country there
will be speeches and patriotic pro
grams designed to emphasize the
necessity of national defense, the
present status of the Army and
Navy, and the deficiencies of the
country's defense as seen by the
men who form the organized re-
serves.
Letter Quoted
In a letter addressed to Capt.
Walter ]. Gardner, Field Artillery
Reserve, Of Lincoln, Neb., chair
man of the National Defense
Week committee, Secretary of War
Henry Woodring said:
In sponsoring National Defense
Week the Reserve Officers ASsOcia-
tion is taking constructive action
toward the preservation Of peace.
To be assured of continuance Of
peace our country must be secure
against aggression. Our Army and
Navy exist solely for the purpose
of safeguarding our territory and
our institutions against attack.
The United States has no quar-.
rel with any other country We
cOvet no more territory, no more
wealth. We only wish to preserve
to our pOsterity the blessing of the
democracy our fathers fought so
vaIiantly to establish and main
tain. We hope by wise policies
and by the maintenance of an ad-
equate defense establishment to
guarantee our security. The ma
tiOn Is indebted to the Reserve Of
ficers Association for periodically
bringing these truths to public at
tentiOn.
SWANSON NOTE
Secretary of the Navy Claude
A. Swanson wrote:
/ am glad to hear that the Re
serve Officers Association of the
United States will repeat in 1897
its observance of a National De-
fense Week. In sponsoring any
movement which brings home to
our people the Importance of ma
tional defense, the Reserve Off
GERS Association is rendering a
patriotic service of the utmost
value. It is a fundamental duty
of all citizens to support proper
and adequate measures for their
country'S defense. In order to dis
charge properly this duty it is
necessary for the people to under
stand and appreciate the needs,
aspirations and responsibilities of
their national defense forces. No
better instruments for the dis
SeminatiOn of information concern
ing the problems of National De
fenSe exists than those splendid
reserve organizations who are
closest to and most familiar with
the regular services. am taking
this opportunity of wishing for
your 1897 campaign all the sue
cess that is merited by such a
worthy cause.
Senator Morris Sheppard, chair
man Of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, and other ma
tional leaders have expressed
themselves similarly.
Gen. Malin Craig, chief of
staff, declared the events of the
last year continue to indicate the
necessity for adequate measures of

"ThiS board believes that the

the message signed by Warren

The Raker act, passed by Con.

power from Hetch-Hetchy except
to q municipality or a municipal

Secretary Ickes, in 1885, ruled
that San FranciSco's contract with
the Pacific Gas and Electric Co.,
by which the city sold power to
the uC1l1C1eS company WHICH III

was in violation Of the act.
Ickes pointed out that after sew

contract was in Violation Of the
act, that San Francisco officials
submitted several alternating pro
posals subsequently, but that none
had met his approval except the
proposed bond issue for purchase
by the city of the company'S dis

After defeat Of the bond issue,
Ickes said, he had received mes

take no further action, but de-

matter in court.

Kennedy Leads Fight
On D, c, Income Tax Plan

While Directing to some Of the
nine Collins tax proposals to
meet the $4,000, 900 District deficit,
Representative Ambrose J. Ken
needy Cd, Of Maryland, chairman
Of special tax investigating COM
mittee Of the House District Com
mittee, today moved to effect an
early solution of the confusion"
in the District tax structure.
Spurred on by the introduction
Of the tax bill, by which Repre-.
sentative Ross Collins 3D., Of
Mississippi, who is in charge Of
the 1888 supply bill, hopes to raise
$12,000,000, Representative Ken
needy announced he will call q
meeting of his subcommittee for
early next week to organize q
Sproper plan of procedure.
Mr.. Kennedy at the same time
recommended a thorough study Of
all Of the revenue-raiSing propos'
ais made to the present Congress
with a view to obtaining a "just
and equitable" tax system here.
He declared:
II want to get something
done Immediately. And I don't
want any piecemeal or half
baked solution to this problem.
Il want to do it thoroughly or
mot at ALL"
The Maryland Congressman de-
elared he hoped he would be able
to secure an appropriation of $10,-
900 for his tax Study-which is
not an investigation, but just q
study-So that the subcommittee
will have expert aid in its de-
IiberationS.
The money, he said, would be
used for the services of q com.
petent man and few assistants
who would aid the committee by
supplying its members with infor.
nation concerning the District
and by organizing the tax pro-
poSalS for easier consumption by
the members who, he said, do not
have sufficient time to study oil
the recommendations that have
been made.
In its deliberations, Mr.. Ken
needy said, the tax subcommittee
will study the nine Collins tax
bills, which include the four MapeS
bills, the Jacobs report and ali
other proposals.
/ Mr.. Kennedy suggested that Will
ham A. Roberts, one-time Peoples
Counsel of the District, would be
the proper man to assist the COM
lnittee. He also said he believed
Representative Ross Collins CD,
Of Mississippi, who Is in charge
Of the 1898 District appropriations
bill, is in favor Of granting the
money for the study.
s Representative Kennedy an
nounced that he diSapproVeS some
Of the Collins tax bills, such as
the ones to levy income and in
the tax on gasoline by 2 cents.
At the same time, Mr.. Kennedy
expressed the belief that the real
estate tax, which Mr.. Collins wants
to decrease, should be increased
instead. He pointed out:
"In II comparable cities, the
property tax is much higher
than it is in Washington. / see
no reason why the tax should
not also be increased here, That,
L think, would be q more eQuita-
BILE method of raising revenue
than some Of these other pro-
pOSalS."
The appropriation bill contains
a proviso that the real estate tax
should not be increased during
the next fiscal year, and Mr.. Col
Inns has announced his desire to
decrease this levy in future years.
