OUR NAVAL PROGRAMME.
81, ,OOO. .Rp0 that Might Be Used to
Benefit All Mankind.
THEODORE f.. BURTON y

Our recent naval appropriation bills
have been framed upon the basis of COM
hitting the government to a programme
Of constructing two battle ships of the
DreadnouEht type each year. For the
fiscal year of 1911 our naval appropria-
tion was s13I $50 .S,i. which is in itself
considerably moro than twice as large as
the net expenditures of the government
for the fiscal year ended June 60 1861.
Our total appropriations for the fiscal
year ending June 90. 1911. for wars past
and prospective were $3.50 o022 s6l This
figure includes the appropriations for the
army. the navy. Notifications, the Mil
tary Academy. and pensions This amount
was approximately 81 per cent of our en-
tire appropriations for the present fiscal
year if We exclude appropriations for the
Post-office Department, which is practi-
ca1ly self-supportinE.
1t is estimated that each battle shin Of

ship from the day its keel is laid to the

original cost and upkeep an expenditure
OF $A, 100000 Upon this basis forty-four
battle ships would entirely liquidate our
present intereSt-bearing national debt
Sixteen battle ships would build the
Panama Canal at the present estimate
The enormous expenditures for MILL
tary armaments would do much to re-
habilitate our national waterways as ef-
fecnve agencies in the solution of our
great commercial and traffic problems.
They would reclaim the enormous tracts
OF desert and arid lands in the far West
and transform untold desolation into
smiling tracts of fertile farms. with
their contribution of agricultural prod
ucts to lower the present high cost of
living. They would enable the govern
ment to enter upon new fields of enter
prise from which it is now prohibited
owing to the enormous aggregate of our
national expenditures.
The present passion for great arma-
ments is af1icting the entire world. 1t

for military establishments by the most
enlightened nations of the world are now
reaching s2.O0o.0O0,0CO a year. The only
logical conclusion to this prof1igate waste
is international bankruptcy. While the
financial argument is a most forcible
one. the consideration of the part which
the United States should take in the
cause of peace is far more important.
We are in a position to take the lead in
abating the increasing naval programme
of the world. Our greater glory must
como in teaching the nations of the earth
the lesson of peace and the common
brotherhood of man.

nillitarism, with its incidents of war and
waste and its consequences in taxation
Along this line of thought is the follow
ing contributions:
Better not expend it at ALL Leave it in
the. pockets Of the tax payers. where it is
better distributed than it can ever be
again and where, while the cost of living
IS so high. it is most urgently needed.

City Council

The regular meeting of the city
council last night added some little
to the citys history.
One thing was the payment of a
big monthly expense account.
Another was the resignation, re-
enstatement and reprimand of a
police officer.
A probe of the Fire Department
and another matter cosidered may
result in charges; the trouble how
ever, is all internal and does not
greatly effect the efficiency of the
department.
The health officer was authorized
to remove the Matching places for
mosquitoes in and near the city by
a system of bitches. Not on the

is being pestered by the pests and

be used to prevent the termination
of the little stingers and night
singers.
Clerk E. L. Hanger was given a
furlough of fifteen days, at the end
of the time or by the middle of the
month he will return to the city and
resume his duties as clerk of the
council.

Evidently in anticipation of this

Our Theatres

Fttzgerald's moving picture en-
tertainments are way above the
average.
We say that because it is true. If
they were not moral and clean we
would swat 'em, but we get great
deal more pleasure out of saying
GOOD things about them as long as
it is true.
We want the people of Fitzgerald
to give them liberal patronage.
There can be no harm in spending
pleasant hour these warm evenings
about the Lyric and the Hippodrome.
1t is a pleasant recreation and gives
YOU the opportunity to meet your
friends while they have time to
greet you pleasantly.
The price is within the reach Of
all and a man may take his wife
and children in safety to either
show
If anything ugly shows up on the
stage or anywhere in connection with
the shows, frown on it, but as long
as the ten cent entertainments are
clean and bright and educational,
smile on them.
Meet your friends at the Hippo
drome or the Lyric in the evening
You will enjoy it and the children
will get an immense amount OF
pleasure and some profit there from.
