House Committee on Committees to

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17.—
A fight hrfs started in the House
to eliminate the clause in the reve
nue bill eliminating second class
postage. It would, it is admitted
be a great hardship on newspapers
and magazines and many would be
forced to o.uit. With paper over a
hundred per cent and even adver
tising taxed, it would prevent hund
reds of papers from being issued
and is merely a joker for the bene
fit of very wealthy publications.

Roosevelt, is also eligible for the
position of General O'Ryan who has
been retired since the militia re
turned from the border.
Roosevelt gave out a statement
saying that he will accept the Gov

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16-.— I
The House finally approved the se- j
lective draft bill today including the !
amendment giving Roosevelt au-1
Phorization to raise a division and j
increasing the pay of ail regulars!
and militia forces which have been !
federalized.
This increase is quite extensive, j
It grants to each regular soldier j
fifteen dollars a month in addition
to his present scale of pay, and the j
minimum wage of each private will I
under terms of this bill be thirty
dollars a month. The estimated in- ■
crease in expenses for this increased 1
pay will be two hundred and fifty I
millions a year.
The presumption is that thirty j
dollars a month will be also the
standard of pay for the drafted as
well as the enlisted men.
GASOLINE SOARING
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 16.—
There is talk of controlling gasoline
otherwise it may go away up.
Thousands of cars were kept in
the garages last year because of
the high costs of gasoline 'and un
less there is a substitute found for
the Standard Oil product, they are
likely to stay there this year too.
One vet sion has it that the inter
ests controlling gasoline have huge
investments in the traction compa
nies throughout the country and the
high price of gasoline, playing ha
voc with the jitney bus traffic is re
garded with feelings of satisfaction.
The rich man and the businessman
can afford to use autos at the pre
sent prices, but a jitney a trip will
not pay for high gas. They get
them geing and coming with the
high price.
