The Waste Of the Sword

More battleships and larger armies is the cry.
The nations turning themselves into armed camps
and the seas are filed with battleships
The great powers spending So, 100000 a
year armament That vast sum represents billions
Of days workfor, like all wealth, it is paid for in
sweat and pain.
The United States, most peaceful of nations in a
time of profound peace is spending for the army and
navy and for pensions nearly $500 600, 900 year.
We must have battleships, while Europe and
Asia threaten; there must be soldiers while nations
substitute brute force for wisdom and must care
for the victims of past wars.
The Panama Canal is the greatest work of con-
struction undertaken by man; and yet for the
money we are spending for military ends we could
build q Panama Canal every year.
we threw money into the ravenous NAV of
war we could reclaim all the irrigable deserts in
America and drain all the dranable swamps in five
years. In another five could the land with
forests doing away forever with the peril of failing
timber supply and could make available the latent
power of streams, wind and waves.
The fighting instinct will always remain, but it
shall be changed Instead of the nations wasting their
glorious strength in mutual slaughter of their best
they shall turn their power against poverty injus
tice and disease. Instead of armed camps, shall
have free universities; instead Of slaughtering
armies, contented armies of industry; and he that
invents useful thing creates work of beauty

The Gateway Amendment

The progressive party has declared for an easier
way of amending the constitution of the United
States.
This is one of the greatest progressive measures
advocated by the new party. In this pledge it
touches bedrock The greatest defect in institu
Ons lies in the fact that under Article of the
sttution the people bound hand and foot by the
old constitution of 1887.
We try and try to amend, but we cannot, even
when we are almost unanimous, as we have been for
generations in the matter of the direct election of
senators, the income tax and some other measures
Selfish interests keep from getting two-thirds in
both houses of congress, and when that obtained
from securing affirmative action in -fourths of
the states.
The gateway amendment plank is an Iowa idea.
In 1899 the democrats of Iowa declared for the
amendment of the constitution of the United States
BY referendum vote after submission by majority
vote of both houses of congress- And two days be-
fore the adoption Of the Roosevelt platform Senator
1aFollett, introduced in the senate join resolution
proposing in concrete terms the idea adopted by the
new party on general terms. LaFollette proposes
20 amend Article SO that amendments may be sub
mitted by majority vote in congress and adopted
BY national referendum vote, provided that such
vote includes majority in majority of the states
The gateway amendment issue is one of the
greatest things In the campaign It's injection into
the field of national politics starts battle which will
rage until the old constitution becomes instead of
shelter TO plutocracy, tool of democracy.
