This was on the out- skirts of the city of Leeds, some forty miles away. Leeds isa city larger than San Francisco, and-an other of England's mighty tndustrial centers. Gen. Branker, the alr vice marshal of England, arrived at the airdome just as we were leaving and accompanied us. This little holiday Gave us a glimpse into. the life of the wealthy English country gentle. man of whom we had heard 60 much. Nor {s there any doubt but whktt they really do know how to get a lot of enjoyment ou‘ of life C Blackburn's home was a vast, rambling English country man- sion with t. halllike rooms, cozy dens, an aviary, and a conserv. atory. It had once been a noble- man's castle with high walls around. On the grounds were kennels for the packs of dogs used in fox hunting. There were garages for our host's fleet of cars. And most Interesting of all, were the old stables, still in use, where you put in your. horses and then locked ‘*e~: up so that no Robin ZIood or Friar Tuck can spirit them away. “There were at least twenty guests, and after dinner there was dancing and a thoroughly delightful evening.

We spent the day buying special heavy clothing for the flight to Iceland and Greenland, and Tuesday, -the 29th, we devoted to getting. all of the final little details. cleaned up so we could start north the next day Off to Early Start. “Wednesday morning we arose at 4 o'clock, launched the planes down special runways into the Humber, moored them, and then took on a load of gas and ofl, There was a low hanging fog shrouding the coast, 80 we waited until 10:30, hoping it would clear up a bit. But at that hour we decided to push off. With the Boston end New Orleans close behind, Iheaded the Chicago out over the North sea. For a while we fiew four or five miles from land in order to escape the fog bank. As we neared Scotland we came in closer to the shore and occasionally the fog would break on a® seaside resort, such as Scarborough. “We missed seeing Edinburgh from the sky because we flew right across the mouth of the Firth of Forth. North of Montrose the clouds had kept forcing us lower and lower, so we climbed up over them and for an hour flew without. seeing. so much as a glimpse of a sprig of heather to make us realize that we were sailing through the sky above the ancient mountains “where the Picts and Scots used to fight and the region from whence came those great fighting men of the late world war, the Black Watch and the Gor- don Highlanders. “But we did see a few old Scot- tish castles when we dropped. down out ofthe clouds again. There was one in particular that caught my fancy. It was*built on a promon- tory jutting right out into *the sea.

Nevertheless, the conditioh of the state’s finances and the welfare of its citizens and its Industries leave no other alternative. Accordingly, I have refused in the main, to recommend increases in salaries, increases in. office and field forces and increases {n miscellaneous operating expenses. This refusal has also extended to the many «e- quests for appropriations, for. new capital outlay. © Such I -haye ecceded to, have been. only those which, in-my, opinion, were: matters of’ the*-most urgent necessity, and necessary for the protection of the state's invested interest. Feeling, however, that above all, certain fundamental industries and also certain institutions should be maintained to the utmost of our ability, I have on the other hand recommended substantial increases in appropriations over those of 1923-1925 in certain cases.

The federal government has injected it- self into the private affairs of the states and of individuals to an ex- tent which is rapidly approaching the condition which exists in Russia. Bureau and bureaucrats have receiv- ed or have taken to themselves con- fiscatory powers over the property of individuals and states, which, to say the least constitute aigreat dan- ger.’ Therefore, we are inclined to question the wisdom of conferring upon a. tariff commission or any other commission, other than con- greas, the power to’ arbitrarily dis- pose of the property rights and op- ‘portunities of individuals, Eyen congress islimited-in this respect by the. constitution. In line with this argument, Mr. Hagenbarth proposed that the tariff commission should be a fact finding body only, and that tt should have no part in tariff-construction other- wine.
