since last Friday morning, when he
became lost in a blizzard enroute to
Pock Springs. Wyo.. was found alive
and well at the Kigby ranch. Coal

part ies.
Koonstra declared that except for
a slightly frost bitten foot be was
unhurt.
The missing pilot sail his plane
was forced down Friday morning on
Porcupine ridge about 12 miles
northeast of Coalville and that he
hiked thru the deep snow until Sat
urday night .'!' hours before tin
ally reaching .shelter at the ranch,
which is about four miles south and
east of Porcupine.
Tlure is no telephone service to
the ranch and Koonstra declared he
was awaiting better weather before
going to Coalville to notify Salt Lake
air mail authorities of his safety and
v hereabouts.
Makes Good Landing
P.oonstra said he made a perfect
landing on the flat unwoodeil surface
of Porcupine ridge, but predicted
that salvage of bis plane is impossi
ble hi cause of the snow. He believes
it will have to -rest where it is as a
memorial to air mail pluck.
Throughout yesterday a dozen or
more airplanes were scouting over
northeastern I'tah and southwestern
Wyoming in the hope of finding
Koonstra. The search was without
result until late afternoon, when

then made- their escape, in one of the
most daring and sensational daylight
holdups ever staged in the west,

had many clews that promised pos-i M
sibilities they were still far from thelQ
solution of the holdup. Detectives and I Ej

were dispatched throughout the city
many times today in investigating
the numerous clews that came to the
attention of the police.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS
GET PENSION INCREASE
Washington. Dec. lf. Veterans of
the Civil war. widows of veterans and
Civil war nurses probably will re
ceive Christmas presents from the
government in the form of increased
pensions as the result of an agree
ment reached by conferees on the
f'.ursum pension bill.
The bill was passed by the senate
last summer and by the house at the
recent special session. Slight differ
ences bettwen the two houses have
been compromised and the author of
the bill. Senator Kursum, republican.
New Mexico, announced today that
he hope! to obtain fiiml congression
al action and the presidential signa
ture before Christmas.
Pensions of veterans are increased
under Hie measure from $50 and $72
a month, widows' pension from $30
to .0 ami nurses pensions from
-30 to $50.
THE SEASON'S NOVELTY
One of the most unique and pleas
ing lines of incense burners that has
been brought to this city is now
ready at the Journal stationery de
partment. The Vantine line is the
best that can he found in the United
States and their various designs of
burners for the delicately perfumed
incense are more than usually at
tractive and the different styles are
suited for either the business house,
office or home. If you are seeking
a gift that is different aud one of
the latest features of the season you
should look over the Vantine line of
incense burners. i
K. T. road, the
by thousands of
.cry week, is again me suo-
iect of more or less discussion in the
pood roads circles of Omaha and the
action that is particularly discussed
is that which leads from Omaha to
Fort Crook, the army headquarters
of the Seventh corps area. "The gov
ernment will pay half of the paving
expense of the King of Trails, the
highway that passes Fort Crook, if
Nebraska wil! pay the other half."
Major C.eneral Oeorge K. Duncan,
commander of the Seventh corps area,
said he was given to understand in
Washington where he was recently
prior to coming to Omaha to assume
command of the post there.
The sentiment seemed favorable to
tho work from the standpoint of the
government department officials, the
general said.
The paving of rue section of road
from the end of the present paving
in Albright to the army post would
be a proceeding that would be hail
ed with delight by those who travel
over the road and is a matter in
which every resident of the south
eastern portion of the state is inter
ested. The section of road in ques
tion is always rough and hard to take
care of and particularly that wincn
inins nn to the Omaha raving and
any action that would lead to a per
manent road being made by paving
would he a ereat boon to the auto
traveling public.
The last session of the legislature
had the project before them and it
was discussed pro and con for the
greater part of the session but with
out any real action being taken that
would -better the condition, as the
Sarpy county authorities were not
overly enthusiastic in getting in with
their share of the cost as proposed
by the legislature.
Somo favorable action in the mat
ter would certainly be appreciated
by everyone who uses the road into
Omaha and from the city south to
the state line along the K. T. high
way the residents will be practically
unanimous iu their desire to have the
work takcu up.

Christmas stationery in the city at

ernment and the states would be pro
hibited. Packed by the indorsement of
President Harding and the treasury,
the proposal was the center of a hard
fight, in which many republicans op
posed it. Passage of the measure, of
fered by Representative Greene, Iowa
ranking republican of the ways and
means committee which reported it,
will require a two-thirds vote of the
house. Opponents claimed tonight it
would be defeated, although leaders
who caused it to be brought up in
sisted it would go through. Four
hours of general debate, alloted un-
!der a special rule giving the meas
ure right ot way, naa not oeen con
cluded on adjournment tonight.
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee, Mr. Greene and
Representative Mills, republican,
New Pork, also of the committee,
urged passage of the measure, while
Representative Garner, Texas, rank
ing democrat of the ways and means
committee, directed the light against
passage and made the principal
speech.
Throughout the debate the ques
tion continuously bobbed up that the
proposal would invade the rights of
the states to control their own credit.
Mr. Fordney supported the resolu
tion because, lie said, he wanted the
states to have the right to pass on
the question. He says he had doubts
of the wisdom of the purpose sought
by the amendment.
Issuance of tax exempt securities
is unsound, "whether we look at it
from fiscal, economic or social stand
point," said Representative Mills
From tho economic standpoint, he
said, they were "indefensible."
Representative Green cited figures
to prove that the tax burden was be
ing shifted under present laws from
the rich to the small taxpayer. In
19 1G, he said, tax returns of persons
with incomes of more than $300,000
numbered 1,296, but in 1920 the
number decreased to 395, due, lie de
clared, to investments in tax-exempt
securities. On the other hand, he
said, the number of small income
taxpayers had increased by 2,000,-
000 in 1919 alone.
Representative Garner attacked
the proposed amendment as giving
power to tne tederal government to
restrict and if necessary to prohibit,
the issuance of county. 6tate and mu
nicipal bonds "in order that capital
may go into other industries such as
the framera of this proposal may de
sire it to go." i
