REPUBLICAN V,OTES HOPE Deficit in Treasury Is Concern of Xew Chairman or House Ways and Means Committee Kast and West Favor Bigger Xavy. ' ORKGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Sept. 6. Notice has been served on President Wilson by the demo cratic floor leaders of both Senate and House that they will oppose vigorously any comprehensive plan of legislation looking to placing the United States in a condition of military preparedness. Senator Kern, of Indiana, the actual Democratic leader in the Senate, in formed the President that he did not approve "extraordinarily heavy appro priations for National defense," while Kepresentative Kitchin, of North Car olina, who-la to succeed Mr. Underwood as chairman of the ways and means committee, and who ex-officlo be comes Democratic floor leader, said: "I am a small Navy man. . . . Less than $10,000,000 will be appropriated for National defense by the next Congress, unless I am badly mistaken. Kitfblu Depends on Sobmarlnca. To begin with. Congress, at the last session, appropriated more than J250. 000,000 for National defense; that is.- It appropriated $101,974,195 for the Army and $149,676,864 for the Navy. Mr. Kitchen, therefore, must mean that he will oppose more than a $10,000,000 in crease in those appropriations. And if he does that, he must necessarily op pose the Administration's programme. Kepresentative Kitchin goes so far as to assert: "The European war has convinced me that my position Is right, and 1 shall refuse to vote any appro priations for the dreadnought type of battleships." He believes and says that, with $10, 000.000 worth of submarines, added to what the American Navy has today, it could hold any foe 250 miles from United States' shores and would have no need for battleships in the event of war. Unfortunately for the Admin.stration, there are other men in Congress whose views coincide with those of Represen tative Kitchin. Many Congressmen from the South agree with him. Senator Kern admittedly speaks for the interior in voicing his opposition. He was frank enough to admit, however, that what ever programme the Administration in dorses and recommends will be en acted by the votes of the Kast and Kar West. Republican Votes Are Hope The .President desires to keep the preparedness issue out of politics. He realizes that he must have Republican votes to put through the Army and Navy programme that is to be submit ted to Congress, for the bulk of oppo sition will come, from the Democratic Bide of Congress. Representative,.. Kitchin is concerned ever the condition of the Treasury. As chairman "of the ways and means com mittee he must assume a large part of the responsibility for legislation that mut raise revenue not only sufficient to wipe out the existing deficit, but to provide sufficient revenue to keep the Government running for another year, to say nothing of the revenue necessary to finance the Administration's Army and Navy programme.

One of the most interesting features of the day was the exhibition drill by the Corvallis fire fighters. The Ma sonic building, the largest business block In town, was used. Nimble fire men scaled the structure, story . by story, while others slid down ropes, and wi exhibition of jumping into a life net was given. The New York test, one of the most complicated races of the tournament, was the feature of the day and taken by Corvallis in 1 minute 8.4 seconds.

TAX IS ISSUE STATE ASKS SIPREME COIRT FOR RIGHT TO COLLECT FORTUNE. Assessmeats on Holdings of Late Rail road K.lng In Snort Line Are Involved In Action. BOISEi Idaho. Sept 6. -(Special.) : The question ot whether E. H. Harri man was the owner at the time, of his death of : an interest in the , Oregon Short Line - Railroad Company, and. whetlter this interest is subject to pay ment of a transfer or succession .tax under the laws of Idaho, will be placed before the Supreme Court Tuesday when argument is heard in the case of the State of Idaho against R. H. Dun lap. Probate JudKe for Ada County. This is the first time this statute has been before the' Supreme Court on its essential features. On the outcome depends the issue of whether Mary W. Harriman shall pay a small fortune to the state. The litigation was originally started by the filing of a petition by the State Tax Commission, the Probate Court of this county asking that proceedings be taken to collect a transfer tax upon the transfer of the interest. That was in November, 1914. The answers of both Mrs. Harriman and the Short Line Railroad set forth that she succeeded to interest in the Union Pacific Railroad and directly had no interest in the Short Line. The state contends that interest in the Union Pacific bonds is identical with interest in the Short Line. MR. HUMPHREY CRITICISED Aberdeen. Speaker Cites Attack on Seamen's Bill.
