Stressed
WASHINGTON. Apr 1 1!.
Keoo.nmemlatiuns for the develop
ment of aviation, drawn tip at the
president's request by the nation
al advisory committee for aernau-
licB. were submitted to congress
toda with tin executive's appro
val and in the exportation that
liii8latiou will be enacted to
carry out the program.
Tht. report was accompanied by
a br.ef explanatory message from
the president.
The committee recommended
that the army and navy continue
to control their own air services,
that the postoftice department be
authorized to establish - new air
routes and that a bureau of aero
nautics be established in the de
partment of commerce to foster
commercial aviation.
Congress was urged to appro
priate $2,000,000 for the war de
partment in establishing air
routes in the next two years ana
to grant authority to the post
office department to establish new
air ways.
Air Ways Are Chartered.
The report emphasized the ad
visability of encouraging Inven
tive skill in aeronautics and urged
that research under the advisory
committee be conducted.
The committee also stressed the
need in peace of an adequate force
of aviators and modern planes for
a nucleus in case of war. Contin
uation of the army air service
was urged and it was suggested
that the naval air service be cen
tralized in a naval bureau of aero
nautics. It was also suggested that the
chiefs of the air mail service and
of the proposed bureau of aero
nautics be made members ot the
national advisory committee for
aeronautics.
The report declared that the
army had no specific authority of
law to establish air routes but had
chartered seven main air ways as
follows :
Augusta, Maine to Camp Lewis,
Wash.; Washington. D. C. to San
Francisco; Savanah. Ga.. to San

Governor Olcott Is soon to an

investigating committee provided
for by an act of the. 192 1 -legislature
and is making a study of the
economic condition of the state
preparatory to selecting the mem
bers of the committee. Seven per
sons are to be appointed.
The committee will have wide
authority and an appropriation of
$10,000 was made to carry the
act into effect. The body Is re
quired to make a report to the
governor on or before November
1, 1922. relative to its findings
and recommendations and 1 to ac
company the report with a bill for
submission to the legislature. A
decrease in the public tax burden
is the general object.
Oimmittrr Held Imxrtant
"I consider these appointments
among the very important ons
imposed upon this office by the
recent session." said the governor
in commenting on the new law.
"Prior to the convening of the
legislature I appointed a volun
tary committee having for its pur
pose the investigation of ne-sour.'-es
of revenue and oth'r
nitans of lightening the tax bur
dens of the people. The people
themselves particularly at the
special election in May a year ago,
voted taxes which virtually doub
led the st ito I' vy and thus created
a heavy tax imposition, particular
ly on real property. To devise
some means of making lighter and
more equitable burdens was my
object in the formation of the
original committee. This commit
tee made a very comprehensive
report, out of which grew the law
of the recent leKislature.

"That law provides for the ap

acquiring information to assist
them in gathering data as to pro

them ample funds to carry out
the provisions of the act.
"The committee may administer
oaths; may require the attendance
of any person in the state as a
witness and also require the pro
duction of any book, paper, docu
ment or other thing of evidentiary
nature to secure information on
tax matters. Such evidence is to
be secret in its nature and a heavy

EX-GERMAN
EMPRESS IS
LAID TO REST
Older Generation Predomi
nate Among Mourners at
Funeral
POTSDALL, Germany, April 19.
(by the A. P.) It was the
Germany that has passed which
laid Augusta Victoria, former em
press, to rest today In Antique
Temple, surrounded by forest
trees faintly showing their new
leaves.
Old men and women predomin
ated among the mourners. Many
of tbe thousands of officers who
lined the roadway leading to the
mausoleum were men of years,
and wore the uniform and decor
ations of former wars.
It was the demobilized army
and navy and tbe dethroned rulers
of various principalities once
forming the German federation
which gathered at Wildpark and
it was chiefly the men and women
of the old regime who cheered
Von Hindenburg, Ludendorff and
Von Mackensen. when they left
Antique Temple, after the cere
mony. Germany's new government of
fered no objection to a ceremon
ial funeral; neither did it offic
ially participate, further than to
send troops to police the grounds
through which it is estimated
50,000 persons passed during the
day to view the body lying in
state. No funefal attended by
so many could be any quieter or
more, peaceful.
The demonstration in honor of
Von Hindenburg and other prom
inent military leaders which fol
lowed the services were the only
evidence of the deep political
feeling underlying the occasion.
Dr. Dryander, former court
chaplain, read the 126th psalm
in Antique Temple and preached
from the text "They that sow in
tears shall reap in Joy." Singing
was led by the cathedral choir.
DOORN. Holland, April 19. ,
At the moment of the funeral ser
vices at Potsdam, a solemn service
was held at Doom by Pastor
Weiss, who spoke words of con
solation to the former German
emperor and crown prince. Wil
helm, deeply moved, thanked the
pastor and friends for their sym
pathy, which ho said was a great
help in the days of woe.
Frederick William will return
to Wieringen tomorrow.
Great disappointment was ex
pressed today by the ex-emperor
over the arrangements made by
the police authorities for the
transport of the body of the for
mer empress. He failed to see
why her last journey should bear
the character of flight, avoiding
the route which had been an
nounced, and thereby preventing
ithe villagers from saluting the
dead. In consequence of this the
1 crown prince was jeered by the
villagers, who were previously
I friendly, as he passed through the
streets.
