More to Ahollidi Tax Oommldidon
Olympla. Wash., Oct. 25. The
abolishment of the State Tax Com
mission I under discussion In aeveral
counties of the state, and It is be
lieved here that there will be a well
organized effort In tho next leglHla
ture to repeal the law creating that
body.
The success of tho effort, apparent
ly, will rest largely upon tho fate
In the general election of the pro
posed constitutional amendment en
larging the taxation powers of the
legislature.
If this amendment carries, the
work of the Tax Commission will be
virtually upheld, and there will be
so many added duties Imposed upon
that body that Its abolishment will
not. likely be brought about.
On the other hand, If the amend
ment Is deefatcd, tho attempt will be
to Impose new duties, now possessed
bv the Tax Commission, upon the
Railroad Commission, and get along
only with the latter.

Washington, Oct. 26. The Presi
dent will ask congress in his annual
message, It Is said, to grant four
battleships annually. Ho adheres to
his belief that this is necessary. The
President will also urge additional
appropriations for the completion of
a naval base at Pearl Harbor and of
the Hawaiian coast defenses, and he
will probably ask for Increased facili
ties at Mare Island for handling na
val vessels. Another thing the Presi
dent will ask congress for is adequate
provision for equipping and defend
ing the naval base at Guantanamo,
where the navy department has
planned great yards. The location of
this naval depot is in the vicinity of
the Panama Canal and Is regarded as
of strategic importance.
