gress for the express purpose Of
this nation in state of
military preparedness?
This is a question for Secretary
of War Dickinson particularly to
answer, inasmuch as he admits
not only that the United States
is unprepared for war, but that
his army is not even in condi-
ton to "repel invasion if at
tempted on our coast by any first
class power.
The amount spent on the army
since 1897 is $l,044, 101, 1888. This
is more than twice as much as has
been spent in the same period for
free rural delivery, rivers and
harbors and public buildings and
grounds combined.
Despite this awful military
cost, Chairman Hull Of the house
committee on military affairs
states in languid tone Of voice
that eff war should come, our
supply Of ammunition for the
field artillery would be ex-
hausted in one engagement.
The navy, under Republican
administration, has cost the peo-
pie even more than the army.
Congress has appropriated ST.
126,210,139 for the navy since
1897.
If the army and navy are in a
state of unpreparedness, it is not
due to a lack Of money voted by
congress, but to military misman-
agement and stupendous extrava-
gance and wastefulness. At least
this is the conclusion long ago
reached b yarmy and navy off,
GERS who are fully cognizant of
the unbusinesslike methods used
in both the army and navy.
These officials, however, dare not
tell what they know. If they
were to do so, they would be
liable to court martial.
The men who are directing the
expenditure of the millions Of
dollars naturally do not wish to
have the true state of army and
navy conditions made public.
Their excuse for secrecy is that
publicity would enlighten for
eigners as to our unfortifed con-
dition. It is literally true, how
ever, that this country has no
army or naval secrets, except
from the people Of the United
States. Army and navy journals
have so stated time and again.
Foreign naval journals are
pointing to the practice of our
government in placing lawyers
and bankers at the head of our
army and navy, as being some
thing akin to a joke. One jour-
nal calls attention to the fact
that four Of the last five naval
secretaries were lawyers, and
that not one Of them remained
in office long enough to get we'll
acquainted with the heads of the
departments. Secretary of the
Navy Meyer, a former banker,
was put in charge of our billion
dollar navy after having been
graduated from the postoffice de-
partment. He knew nothing
whatever about naval matters
when given the political berth Of
naval secretary. Mr.. Dickinson
was a. railroad attorney when
placed at the head of the army.

WISCONSIN NO LAGGARD
IN MARCH OF PROGRESS
One. of the first bills introduced
into the Wisconsin legislature,
which convened last week, was a
measure creating a system OF ab-
solute money indemnity to the
victims of industrial accidents.
The proposed act, accompanied by
d report which is designed espe-
cially to explain the problem of
work-accidents and it's probable
solution, was agreed upon unan-
imously by a committee of seven
members with widely varying
political affiliations and beliefs.
This fact alone, it is expected,
will have a powerful influence in
fastening the enactment Of laws
which will give to injured work.
men and their dependents some
thing they have not had under the
present complex conditions. JUS
tice is the keynote of the bill as
reported.
In its efforts to draft salts
factory bill dealing with this COM
plicated phase Of modern indus
trialism, the committee has
worked with similar commissions
Of other states to arrive at general
agreements having as their object
uniform legislation in the differ
ent commemorative. This object,
the committee has recognized, is
of paramount Importance if the
economic balance in interstate
competition is to be maintained.
That all the industrially import
ant states soon will have similar
laws is strongly indicated in the
existence in all these states of Of
fetal bodies working on the
problem. It is probable that Min
nesota, Michigan, Massachusetts,,
Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri
Washington, and other states will
pass compensation laws this year;
other states will not lag far be-
hind the leaders in the move
ment.
The report of the Wisconsin in
dustrial insurance committee. as
printed elsewhere in this issue,
gives some interesting figures on
the great economic waste under
the present system Of dealing
with the victims of work acct
dents and adds:
But these questions of none
tary cost are not the only consid-
eratons. The old system Of fight
ing every claim for damages and
OF requiring needy persons to- in
augurate expensive suits in order
to press just claims, has, in in
numerable instances, brought
about most deplorable state of
affairs between employers ana
employees. In almost all individ-
ual cases the employee has severed
his contract with his employer.
and fellow employees thus have
been encouraged to adopt an at
titude Of suspicion and distrust
toward capital. The spectacle of
an injured workman or his widow
and children waiting for from six
months to five years for the
doubtful outcome of a claim for
damages is not one to inspire cor
dial and trusting relations be-
tween employers and employees -
