THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
f Tnlike most other towns and cities which elected new ad
^ ministrations, Seward's election was more a matter of
good-natured rivalry—and little of that—than one in
volving contentious matters. Free from this element and
breeder of discord the administration, upon taking their
seats, should be fraught with smooth running and con
structive action.
Congratulations to the^old-new mayor and to the new
Council are in order with every wish for success.
A child’s self-confidence will depend on the confidence
which adults place in him.
THE LAND OF MYSTERY
Antarctica, the vast southern continent which Com
mander Richard E. Byrd plans to visit, this year, is a land
of mystery. Its existance was suspected by the early
geographers, who placed it on their globes, and many of
its outlying islands were discovered by the ocean rovers
of the 17th and 18th centuries.
The continent itself was first seen in 1820 by E.
Bransfield, an Irishman in the British navy, who sighted
Trinity Peninsula, Graham Land. Parts of the coast are
now moderately well known, but the 5,000,000 square
miles of icy interior, crossed by lofty mountains, remain
in obscurity except for limited views obtained by Amund
sen, Scott and Shackleton on their polar trips. The high
central plateau is covered with a glacier of unknown
depth.
In; Chicago they use bombs and machine guns to keep
voters from the polls. In Seward it almost became neces
sary to employ these methods to get out the vote.
Just because a fellow has a long head is no reason why
he should go around wearing a long face.
Between decoding election dope and figuring out the
daily sheet on the oil scandal its a wonder all editors are
not nuttier than they are.
Weather forecast: Northerly winds, slightly harder
with every other sneeze.
Seward is saved for another year!

MELLON REPORTS ON OUTLOOK
FOR TREASURY FOR THE
COMING YEAR
WASHINGTON, April 4, (£>)—Sec
retary Mellon, in reporting on the
outlook for the Treasury for the next
year, told the Senate Finance Com
mittee the $290,000,000 tax reduc
tion voted by the House must be cut
down to $201,000,000 and perhaps
$182,000,000.
This is even less than the Treas
ury Secretary proposed to the House
last fall and is necessary, he explain
ed, because of the increased govern
ment expenditures rather than due
to any drop in revenues which are ex
pected to equal last year’s on the
basis from the first returns.
The administration proposal for
a $225,000,000 cut to attain the $200,
000,000 limitation suggested the pre
sent automobile tax of three-percent
which was repealed by the House, is
to be restored to the bill saving $62,
000,000 that was existing.
The 13 and one-half percent corp
oration levy will be reduced only to 12
percent rather than to 11 and one
half percent as voted by the House
The Committe began work on the
House bill passed before Christmas
after waiting for the March 15th re
turns. :
