WIN NOT SAVE?

Plans proceed at Washington to
make good an anticipated loss of
500, 100000 in customs revenue, re-
sulting: from the European war, by i'm
posing new and increasing present
taxes.
When a prudent man faces de-
crease of income he does two things.
One is to seek new sources Of income.
The other is to reduce his expenditure.
All most of us can usually do at once
is the latter.
We hear nothing from Washington,
however, about reducing expenditure,
even where it is well known to be
largely wasteful, as in the case of the
pending $53,00O,O00' river and harbor
distribution of pork"
Congressman seem to think only OF
their power to tax, and not at all of
their power to save. Such conduct is
peculiarly offensive to all thinking
citizens at time when they are COM
PEELED to scrimp and save.
Isn't single member of congress
capable of thought outside the beaten
track? Cannot one see his chance of
nationwide note and applause by
standing up resolutely for stopping ad-
mitted waste in public expedniture?-

WARNING IN THE DARK.

Asking the question, Can Europe
ever again tolerate the appalling peril
Of secret diplomacy" the conclusion
Of the London Daily News is that the
example OF the United States must
hereafter become the model Of the
civilized world"
It is early In the present struggle to
begin balancing the books, but one such
expression as this gives us an accurate
forecast of some of the accounts that
are going to be settled, not by kaisers
and kings but by the people, when
peace shall have been restored.
Monarchy has always sneered at
American diplomacy as of the shirt
sleeve variety. Because 1t was open,
direct and honest, it was pronounced
uncouth. Because it refused to engage
in intrigue, 1t was held to be deficient
III skill. Because 1t kept faith, 1t was
pityingly regarded as maladroit. But
the worst OF It's offenses has always
been publicity.
The war now raging in Europe is the
direct result of royalty's secret dip
omacy. For a generation past the
great ornaments there have been
falsely represented as making for
PEACE, when we all know now that
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1914-09-08

they were making for war. Everything
relating to supreme government pol
icies has been secret except the exis-
tence of the colossal war machines and
the crushing taxes which have sustain
ed them.
In this way the censorships Of peace
have been almost as drastic as the
censorships Of war. A handful of men
in each country knew what was going
on. Hundreds of millions who are now
arrayed against each other in battles
as secret as the diplomacy that led to
them had no more knowledge of the
true situation than their relatives at
home have now whether fathers, sons
and brothers at the front are alive or
dead.
To praise the American idea of dip
lomacy is to exalt democracy. To de-
nounce the secret diplomacy Of Europe
is to assail divine right and aristoc-
racy. The one proceeds on the theory
that the people who bear the burdens
of war and meet it's sacrifices have
right to know it's causes and to pass
judgment upon them. The other
places the sword in the hands Of a
monarch surrounded by courtiers and
gunmakers, who contrive their wars In
the dark and then blasphemously ap-
peal to a God slow to wrath and
people almost as patient to support
their arms in fight in the dark.
OF late we have had some imitators
of the secret diplomacy and censor
ships of the Old World, but with the
tragic example now before us it is
hardly possible that they can make
further Roadway. When Europe was
undergoing another scourge of war
more than century ago, Thomas JEFF
ferson entreated his countrymen to
take warning from it and ito besiege
the throne of heaven with personal
prayers to extirpate from creation this
class of human lions, tigers and mann
moths called kings from whom let him
perish who does not say, Good Lord,
deliver us'"
Every cory field, every ruined town,
every crowded hospital and every de.
ISOLATE home today cries out against
war secretly planned and executed by
monarchs. If the war of kings does
not end in war upon kings, no matter
whose standards shall at last claim
the victory, it will bring nothing but
loss and sorrow to mankind.-New
York World.

KEEP WATERWoRks OUT OF
Dol IrlCS

To make the waterworks trustees
subservient to the wishes of a polite
ally constituted body, to let them,
shorn of real power, act as flgureheads
while another body is really in charge.
is a danger that the people of Ottumwa
must realize if they wish to retain the
efficiency which has marked the NUM-
cipal ownership of the waterwOrks In
this city. That politics has caused
the failure of practically every NUM-
cipal utility plant in the country is not
an idle statement; 1t is too we'll known
to need much substantiation. Ottumwa
has been an exception. The men who
are in charge of the waterworks plant
here have made success of 1t when
various privately managed corpora
lions failed 1t is to the credit of the
waterworks trustees that this is true.
They have been unencumbered by pol
itics thus far in their administration.
If the people permit the waterworks to
be made football for politicians, they
will see an asset such as the water
works now is, turned into liability
that will bankrupt them in time. That
this is not merely conjecture is shown
by experiences all over the country
one of Wilhelm Joliet, ILL.,, draws the
following comment from the Peoria
Star:
Joliet, ILL.,, has just found that its
municipal water plant isn't much more
than half-supporting when all the
charges are considered. 1t has just
learned, too, that under the new law
it must support itself and the taxation
for it's maintenance is illegal, so 1t has
called in the utilities commission to
look over the plant and find out what
the consumption of water is and fix
a fair rate. When the plant was cs-
tablished great things were predicted
for it. 1t was thought that 1t would
solve the whole question of the city's
furnishing itself with water, but the
result has shown that municipal
plant run by politicians can never be
successful We tried it in this city
and when the roundup came 600 people
were getting water for nothing because
of their influence in the wards"
