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

Opinion at North Island was that
the Shennndonh would circle ov

against time for 420 miles clown
the California coast from Han
Krancisco to Pan IXoro brought
the navy dirigible Shenandoah in

when she passed over the battle

as won. At the rate at which she
was speeding she would reach San

after which it would impos

When the moon shot above the

smooth waves, the storm had dis
appeared and the Shennndonh
started reeling off 50 miles nn

the ship had been going bark

faster than any ship of the nen
merely because the Interference

Nature had given up the con
test without deducting the hoars
that the Shenandoah was held in

and San Diego by more than
eight hours, the actual running
time of the railroad between tb'
two cities being 48 hourtt, 4

Paid Off as Result

Hon. W. C. Hawley. representa
tive of the first congressional dis
trict from Oregon, was the speak
er at the Klwanis Club of Itose
burg nt its meeting at noon to

facts and figures regarding the

a number of invited guests.
In explaining the conduct of the

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

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

publication was dissected, the
committee called the head of each

able to find a great ileal of diipll

suffice fer all the work.
