Word Is coming through to Washington from various sections of the country indicating considerable dissatisfaction with the management of Republican party affairs by the present regime, headed by Ilenry P. Fletcher, national chairman. There Is likewise growing volume of criticism of the work of Senator Hastings of Delaware, and Representative Bolton of Ohio, Joint chairmen of the Republican committee. I dont believe anybody can forecast at this time what the result Is going to be. It should be said In favor of Mr. Fletcher and Hastings and Bolton that they are In a tough spot They are criticized lf they do and criticized If they dont Yet the fact remains and I think it Is recognized everywhere that none of these three has taken a positive position nor has he Initiated any constructive effort In behalf of his partys political future. From among Republicans who yet remain In congress, I have picked up much private discussion Indicating fear on their part that the Republican party management Is faced with an upheaval equivalent to the Roosevelt New Deal among the Democrats nnless the party leaders awaken from their unperturbed sleep. The point made most frequently Is that President Roosevelt actually has Inaugurated his camand the Repubpaign for licans are doing absolutely nothing about It. It Is well to recall that Postmaster General Farley Is planning to retire Just when nobody knows to devote his attention to his other job which is chairman of the Democratic National committee. This Information can be construed In only one way now that Mr. Fletcher Is getting ready to take his seat again at the helm of the campaign machine. Some of the smarter Republicans Insist that this should be notice to the guiding lights of their own party to begin construction of political trenches. Something may come of the Republican sectional meetings now being planned. It Is Just possible that out of these group discussions may be evolved some national program, or the makings of a national policy. It Is likewise possible that from these group discussions some Individual may arise who would be a worthwhile leader for the party against Mr. Roosevelt next year. To date, according to all of the Information I can obtain, that loader Is not In sight. Senator Arthur of Michigan, who was reelected to the senate last year in the midst of a Democratic landslide, has been suggested. But to forget the weaknesses of the Republicans In leadership does not cause one to forget the palpable failure made by those In charge at present So far as the public record shows thr have taken no advantage whatsoever of vulnerable spots In the New Deal armor. senatorial-congression- Van-denbe- Q, Western Newppr Unlo . . . an Impossible! true.

In Germany streamline trains are linking additional cities as juickly as the new tjpe transports' tion equipment can be manufacLondon-Mclhourn- e tured. Modern transportation, this. But one can still find types of transportation facilities, even in die world's largest cities and their rural neigh' borhoods, that were in use decades and even centuries ago. There Is not a sizable town In the United States in which one cannot hail a taxi, and In many of them charter a plane; yet tlie top-bted cabbie, whose pompous figure held sway over traffic on boulevards In the gay nineties, has not been en tirely shelved. These taximen of another era have Jealously watched as new traffic lights have been in stalled, traffic lanes have been painted to keep modern motorists from crushing bumpers and fenders, and streets have been widened and trees sacrificed to make room for more of their rivals; yet they still constitute something of a traffic problem. Vehicles. n Within sight of concrete, highwajs, and less than a hundred miles from Washington, D. C., and Annapolis, Md., vehicles still lumber along; while in the isolated mountain regions of the West, burros nnd pack mules continue to be tlie only companions of many rugged prospectors. Millions of visitors arrive at Atlantic City by automobile, airplane and train, yet to see the sights' along tlie Boardwalk, they hire rolling chairs. Others arrive at Bermuda aboard palatial steamships but take to bicycles and horse-drawcarriages to tour the Island. What traveler loaves Durban, Natal, without employing a Zulu tribesrikshanian?

The bill proposes first to limit the amount of Income which that corporation may receive and to tax half of the remainder. The result Is that Income from securities would be mingled with other forms of Income and the government would dip Its hand Into the total and take whatever amount the law prescribed. Another provision of the bill would result In government confiscation In wartime of every dollar of Income that any official of any corporation, company or partnership received in excess of $10,000 per year. It Is to be remembered here that the $10,000 would not be Those drawing such salaries still would have to pay the government $2,800 In taxes on the $10,000 Income. In other words, since nearly every one receiving salaries of this size serves In an official capacity with some commercial cnlt the tax provision actually reaches nearly all of the Individual Income tax payers. Certainly, the drastic rates affect all persons receiving any Income of consequence because there Is a sharp reduction In the personal exemption prescribed and the tax rates themselves are boosted higher than a kite. For Instance, a married man with an Income of $3,000 a year would have to pay a minimum of $300 to the government Immediately war was declared. r d niul a growing commerce demanded river transportation In even larger volume, many ingenious Chinese combined with economy ami took to living aboard their tiny craft. Although business might call far nnd wide along the numerous rivers and canals it was the large commercial centers at the mouths of mighty streams that offered the most lively carrying trade. Hence these cities early became headquarters for the water dwellers. The riverman often made long voyages up country, hut he always came home to roost. Hence tlie stretches of dirty, river nnd backwash surrounding such centers ns Canton and Shanghai, and even around Hongkong and Singapore, became the native heath of an army of sampan dwelling Chinese, who from childhood have known no other life. Tlie visible means of support of these communities is tlie carrying trade from wharf to wharf, anil from bund to steamer or junk, across river and up canals. Barnyard Afloat Some sampans house petty merchants and peddlers who carry on a small trade In the necessaries of life from boat to boat within the water colony itself. Occasionally a craft Is filled to overflowing with huge white ducks which fatten In tlie daytime on the tidal mud flats or harvested fields, nnd at night walk a gangplank Lack to their floating barnyard. They proceed, one by one, in a quacking nnd pushing single file, each hurrying not to be tlie last duck aboard. Tlie return home in the evenings is sometimes hastened, It Is said, by giving tlie last duck a sharp crack with a switch. Tiie awkward procession soon learns tlie trick nnd a romlc tufiiuit nrises not to be tlie unfortunate tail of tlie procession. Cliine.se sampans are marvelously easy to handle, being tlie product of generations of adaptation to environment. They dart like water spiders here nnd there amidst the harbor traffic, clustering like barnacles around tlie great steamers anWith lightning chored offshore. swiftness, they flee In droves before an approaching storm, eacli knowing ns If by instinct his own place tn the quiet readies. In spite of tlie shifting needs of commerce, family life aboard proceeds about its dally routine as usual, albeit In rather more cramped quarters. Clothes, vegetables, and babies are washed side by side in the stream and the cooking Is done above a diminutive brazierlike stove. Growing children help with the handling of tlie boat and cargo, and grandmothers In blue cotton ragged smoke long stemmed garments pipes. At night all draw together and neighborly chatter from bont to boat sounds like that of a newly arrived flock of blackbirds. Tlie river folk are poor but extremely cheerful, especially over the eveexpensive, ss g ning meal.

On the shallow, shifting Hwang Ho, or Yellow river of China rafts are the principal means of trans- port, especially for freight cargoes. There are two types of raft: one using as buoys inflated sheepskins, nnd the other, large oxhides which are stuffed with wool and then tied . Tlie up to keep them water-tightaccordin size, rafts vary sheepskin ing to the use for which they are Intended, ranging from as few as 12 to 15 skins on the small rafts.
