SAN DIEfiO. Oct. 21. Foggy conditions early today had pre vented the navy dirigible Shen andoah from mooring at the North Island naval air station, and It was considered possible that the airship might not tie up to the mast until late today. . The Shenandoah arrived over San Diego early this morning af ter a tempestuous vovage down the Pacific Coast from Camp Lew is. Washington. At 8:30 o'clock the dirigible swept down close to the North Island mooring mnst hut 'made no effort to tie up. Opinion at North Island was that the Shennndonh would circle ov er the city until the fog has lift ed and mooring Is made possible. (AnflndntM PreM laso1 Wire.) ABOARD US. S. R. PHENAtt POAH. flly Unci to to The Asso ciated Proas. Oct. 21. A race against time for 420 miles clown the California coast from Han Krancisco to Pan IXoro brought the navy dirigible Shenandoah in to her anchorage before davliglit when she passed over the battle fleet King off San Pedro nt 1:55 a. m. today with the race as good as won. At the rate at which she was speeding she would reach San IMopo more than an hour nhead of tho time limit set by nature, after which it would impos sible to moor her until the sun was aeain setting and the big bag cooled. Through the moonlight night the Shenandoah was hitting the ball at a speed averaging 50 miles an hour. A San Francisco like a mininture city by the sea, faded Into a blotch of patches of green parks, rectangular streets nnd sky scrapers, she was making between 20 and 25 miles nn hour; nnd nt the rate at which she had been battling the gale through yester day morning. HO miles, was nn ac complishment of five hours steady driv'ng of her 1500 horsepower motors. When the moon shot above the peaks of the mountains after 1" o'clork. reflecting the trailing sha dow of the long tube on the smooth waves, the storm had dis appeared and the Shennndonh started reeling off 50 miles nn hour with regularity, the past 24 hours had shown the vicissitudes of ar navigation. Pnrt of the lime the ship had been going bark wards with nil engines drivintr at full speed nhead and at other times speeding through the air faster than any ship of the nen merely because the Interference of the air had faded away. Nature had given up the con test without deducting the hoars that the Shenandoah was held in the grip of the gfile. The Shen andoah beat the time of the fast est trains between Camp Lewi-; and San Diego by more than eight hours, the actual running time of the railroad between tb' two cities being 48 hourtt, 4 minutes. As the Shenandoah sped down the coast, lights flashed from vil lages on shore where watcher had been waiting for their visitor, end hoarse-toned whistles of steamers far below greeted their rival from the skies nnd flashed metsaees of felicitation to the ship, heralding a new age of n.iv iration over the path that Sir Francis Drake fin fieri over thr" hundred years ago exploring the Purine Coast.

Rep resentative Hawley stated that the big question which confronted the government's lawmakers was the problem of adjusting the expendi tures of the governmental depart ments to the Income. The world war left the United States with a bond ed Indebtedness of twenty-five and a half billion dollars. Mr. Hawley explained that two things were necessary in the solution of the great question. One was to meet the expenses of the government nnd the other was to provide means of raising the revenue with out draining tho taxpayers. "It Is the theory of congress that taxation should be kept as low as possible," he said. "Taxa tion should be kept -to "the lowest level possible to run the govern- CONGRESSMAN W. C.

The formal Ion of the budget committee In the hopes of ri'pre-sent-ilives was explained to the Kiwanians. Representative Hawley was a member of this committee and therefore wis closely associa ted uith its operations anil was able to tell In detail the workings of the plan, the passage of the bill and the subsequent success of the proposition In reducing the bonded Indebtedness of this na tion. The committee Introduced a bill autliorlibg a plan for placing the budget In effect. Ilcfore tin war there were thirteen commit tees in the house to atilhorie ex penditures, he said. "There was s continual warfare between the thirteen spending de. pertinents and eoneress." he said, "this v. at fare being waged by con gress In en effort to reduce the amount of expenditures. The de partments were asked to make estltiiEites of tin' amount needfd to carry on their work for the next year. When these figures were fl n illy compiled It made a thick volume calbd a "letter." hut It was the bigcest letter I ever start ed to read. When this voluminous publication was dissected, the committee called the head of each department and asked him where the oney appropriated for the various Items whs stunt.
