TWENTY-NINTH

z. A. Vane, South Tacoma.
A successful property and Sc
curities broker. He is a stu
dent of economics and politi-
cal affairs and much more
open-minded than many in his
profession. In point of SER
vice he will be the delegations
dean. At two sessions he has
served as a member of the
powerful rules committee. Ex-
ceptionally well-versed in leg
islative machinery and may
be a candidate for speaker.
c. A. Erdahl, South Ia
coma. During last session he
proved an enlightened and
studious member = tried to
understand thoroughly each
proposal before the house. He
is experienced in management
and in dealing with the public
(retail grocery chain) and has
an admirable conception of
duty toward his constituents.
SENATORS
Ted Schroeder, 25th dis
trict, Puyallup. An electrical
appliance dealer who success
fully built a business in de-
preston years. He entered
the house several sessions ago
as a cleft winger," but might
be described now as a liberal
conservative. He earned his
promotion to the senate in
1888, was a follower this
year. Senatorial terms are
four years.
John T. McCutcheon. 26th
district, Steilacoom. An I'M
usually we'll and favorably
known attorney who became,
at his first session in 194l,
one of the half-dozen most
outstanding members of the
lower house. AS a senator, he
should easily find a position
of leadership. He is conceded
to be one of the most courage
GUS and high-principled men
to appear in the public life of
this community. Possessed Of
remarkable powers of analy-
sis and of a judicial turn of
mind.
Gerald Dixon, 2sth district,
South Pacific avenue area. A
railroad engineman. one of or
ganized labor's stalwarts and
a veteran of legislative battles.
He is courageous and daring

ing for community better

stituents even when the legis-
lature is not in session.

South Tacoma. A railroad
shopman, he is possessed of
tremendous energy and gets a
lot done at Olympia. He is
another who is in the fore
front of every struggle for or
ganized labor. He is no master
mind. and doesn't pretend to
be. but gets to the very bot
tom of most tangled problems
by ceaseless digging. The ses-
sion of 1943 should be his
best.
Note: No comment is made
on the senator from the 9th
district. since Mrs. Kathryn
Malstrom. holder of the post,
has been elected county clerk
and may resign her senator
ship. The seat will be filled

Custodians Of Two
Lincoln Shrines in
Capital Retire Today
Cupt. J. T. Clemens and
T. H. CIophom Fought
Spuniords at MuniIo

Two men who fought against the
Spaniards at Manila in 1899 and
have jointly served the memory OF
Abraham Lincoln at his shrines
here in the last 10 years, today will
retire together from Government
service.
They are Capt. John T. Clemens,
81, custodian of the Lincoln Museum
in the old Ford Theater since 1882,
and Thomas H. Chaplain, GA, Gus
todian of the Lincoln Memorial for
20 years.
Capt. Clemens served with the
4th Infantry in the Philippines from
1899 to 1902 and with the civil gov
eminent of the Philippine Islands
from 1905 to 1914 Mr.. Chaplain
served with the Sd Cavalry until
1902 and then with the civil gov
eminent of the Philippines until
1906.
FOresee Another Victory.
The men didn't meet at Manila
but they met here about 20 years
ago and they've had many rousing
discussion of the Philippine battle
ground since. The struggle of Gen.
Macarthur and his men on the
ground they know so well, they said
yesterday, cannot but be crowned
with success.
Mr.. Clapham worked on construc-
ton of the Great Lakes Navy Train
ing Station in 1906 and first came
to Washington to serve with the
Smithsonian Institution in 1910.
Since 1920 he has come daily from
his home In Cabin John to satisfy
the curiosity of the American tourist
on statues of Abraham Lincoln.
Questions asked Mr.. Chaplain
during those years tended to be
concerned with memorials to Lin
coin rather than about his life itself,
he said. Tourists like to know how
many other people come to the
memorial and who made the statue
of the emancipation.
Clemens Studied Lincoln.
Capt. Clemens, on the other hand,
had chance to apply during his 10
years at the museum all the study
ing of Lncolniana he had pursued
as a hobby during most of his life
Tourists there, he said, are apt to
ask for personal facts, such as
where Lincoln was born and how
old he was when he got married.
Capt. Clemens knew the answers
to these and dozens of other Lin
coin queries because during his
service In the World War and with
administration of public buildings
here for 10 years before he went
to the museum, he collected books
and facts about Lincoln.
He has been custodian at the
museum since the first day the
Oldroyd collection Of objects asso-
ciated with the life and assaSsina-
ton of Lincoln went on exhibition.
Capt. Clemens lives with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lee Helbig, at 5723 Fourth
street NV.

who lunged for the M. P.'s pistol,
ripping the holster but failing to
grasp the weapon. The Negro ran
outside and the M. P. fired shot
after ordering him to halt.
This brought forth a fusillade
from the barracks across the road
way from the amusement center.
More Than 50 Bullets Fired.
The colored troops had been on

and, although regulations require all
troops to be searched on leaving,
some must have salvaged ammmi-

The summoned military police de-

were fired before the shooting ended.

Mai. Woldike said some OF the
shooting was, indiscriminate as in
dictated by the fact two of the
wounded men evidently were hit by
stray bullets. One was wounded as
he lay under a table in the sports

Disney's Comment.
Representative Disney, Democrat
OF Oklahoma appeared to voice the
sentiment Of many committee men,
bers when he said yesterday:
I'VE can not possibly raise $1,000
600, 900 from additional individual
and corporate taxes SO we will be
compelled to go to sales Tx, much
as we dislike to. A sales tax
would be a war tax in which the
whole population would participate.
He said that a survey made for
225 House members with whom the
question was discussed said they
would favor some form of sales tax
The House membership Is 435 and
a majority would be 218.
A manufacturers sales tax has
Deen advocated by some members
as the easiest to collect and opposed
by others because of the price
pyramiding that 1t might induce
A retail sales tax would be more
complicated to administer but would
conflne the increase in the price
of a commodity more nearly to the
actual increase in tax.
But members said they would be
sure to wrangle over whether to
exempt such things as food and
clothing-and run into the endless
question Of exemptions-or whether
to impose a fiat S per cent tax on
everything, or make 1t a graduated
levy ranging from perhaps 2 per
cent on food and clothing to 10
per cent or more on luxuries such
as fur coats.
