Naval Expenditures AS Insurance.

Naval Expenditures AS Insurance.
"The cost of military protection has
frequently been compared with that of
insurance upon property The compar-
ison is apt, and has a special signlfi
canoe in considering naval expendi-
lures. l have caused a comparison to
be made between the national valra-
ton and naval expenditures. The val
uation of the total property of the
United States was obtained by taking
the figures of MulhalI up to the census
of 1850 and then the figures of the CEN
sus. This gives only the valuation of
every tenth year, beginning with 1900.
The valuation of the intermediate years
to each year an equal proportion Of
the decennial increase. The average
valuation for each decennial period is
thus readily obtained. The naval ex-
penditures can be obtained with alb
solute accuracy. The expenditures
given do not include the cost of the
executive establishment. The follow
ing table, computed in this manner,
shows the percentage of the total prop
erty of the United States devoted to
the support of the navy by ten-year
periods in the last century. The whole
period shows an average annual ex-
penditure Of $O.O012 for each dollar of
the valuation

WILL BE ADOPTED HERE.
EXECUTIVE ASSERTS THAT SUF-
FRAGE is ExPEDIENT AND
DESIRED BY WOMEN.

NEW YORK. Dec 3-That woman's
suffrage would become universal in
this country was predicted in a speech
here today by Governor Shaffroth OF
Colorado.
Governor Shaffroth was the guest of
the Equal Franchise league. His speech
was delivered at the Garden theatre.
and he was introduced by Mrs. Clar-
ence H. Mackay.
He said that equal suffrage is right,
eXpedient and practical and that the
women desire it.
1T twas in the mountain states, the
birthplace of Freedom he said. that
suffrage first was given to women,
and it is as sure to extend to every
state in the union, as every principle
of right is bound ultimately to
triumph
Putting to himself the question
whether women want the ballot, he
said:
"Ask the women of Colorado Sub
nit the question to those who have
tried it and scarcely corporal's
guard will be found to vote against 1t.
THE fact that no legislator has in
trOduced in the general assembly of
Colorado a bill to resumbit the ques-
lion to the people shows that there is
no demand for any change in the cleo
tive franchise of that state. The pr1n-
ciple of equal rights for women is as
clearly demonstrated in Colorado. as
the freedom of the negro is determined
in the nation"
To show that the women vote when
they have the opportunity, Governor
Shaffroth said that $4,000 women out
Of $4,000 registered in Colorado in 1908
