Evidence Shows Saving Of Thirty

From Congressman C. H. Tayenner,

From Congressman G. H. Tavenner.
Washington January 17-Any
member of Congress desiring to save
to the people his salary for the next
seventy-fiye years to come, without
in the least jeopardizing the public
interest, will soon have the oppor-
tunity. The task is not difficult. It
is easy; 1t is as easy as the turn
ing over OF the hand.
All that is necessary to effect a
saving of millions to the people is
to provide in appropriation bills that
hereafter all munitions of war be
manufactured by the government at
Rock Island and other arsenals and
navy yards. -..
Millions of dollars worth of this
work is now going to ring Of pri.
vate manufacturers which is outrage
ously overcharging the government
while at the same time violating the
antitrust laws and paying low wages
and imposing unfair conditions up
on its employees.
No less than one hundred million
dollars of the peoples money has been
spent by the War and Navy Depart
ments with the ammunition ring and
the armor ring. Practically the same
interests are back of both these
groups. 1t is a conservative state
ment to say that in all probability
one-fourth of this $1OO,OOO,OOO, or
$25, 0,000 could have been saved to
the people had all this work been
done by the government. And the
men actually doing the work would
have received considerably higher
wages for eight-hour work days that
the employees of the steel companies
received for nine and ten-hour work
days, and in some instances twelve
hours day and seven days a week.
But the days of the armor ring and
the ammunition ring are numbered.
Their friends are no longer in the
saddle.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
told the gentlemen behind the ar
NOR trust they can no longer reach
into the public treasury and appro-
pirate whatever sums they please, as
has been their custom.
Chairman James Hay, of the House
Military Affairs Committee, is bring
ing out testimony showing that the
War Department is paying the private
manufacturers 35 per cent more for
ammunition and other SUPPLIES than
it can, and is, manufacturing the
Identical articles for in the govern
ment arsenals.
The dawn of the new order Of
things is revealed in the annual re-
port of the Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels, recently issued.
'The time has GOMEZ states Sec
rotary Daniels, "when the depart
ment should be freed from excessive
prices charged by private manufac-
tuners Of armor plate guns and gun
forgings, powder, torpedoes, and
other supplies and other munitions"
The real meaning of the Secretary's
recommendation that hereafter the
government manufacture practically
everything it uses in large quantities,
is that for the first time in years the
United States government, and not
the armour ring, is in control of the
Navy Department.

SUGGEST COUNCIL
OF FOUR ALDERMAN
Charter Commission At Meeting Held
Last Night Discuss Changes In
Charter Turned Down Month Ago
TO DECIDE QUESTIONS TONIGHT
Committee Named To Redraft Docu-
ment And Council May Be Called !.
In Extra Session By Mayor
TO DECIDE QUESTIONS TONIGHT

The councils recommendations to
the charter commission were given
little consideration at the meeting of
the commission held last evening
in the comm ercial club rooms.
s. While no definite agreements were
arrived at twas decided to appoint
committee of three to redraft the
charter which was turned down Il
the special election held a month
ago., and that the matter should be
disposed of, so fas as the charter COM
mission is concerned, at another
meeting to be held this evening. E.
e. Mcdonald, Frank S. Arnald and
K. K. Roe comprised the committee
named.
Mayor on Salary
1t is proposed that the mayor be
placed on $500 a year salary and the
alderman, of which there would be
four under the new plans, would
each receive 500 year. This would
provide one alderman for each ward
and would do away with the alder
man at large. The mayor would pre-
side at each meeting of the council
and would have a larger jurisdiction
than is now the case.
Revise Franchise Clause
One Of the sections of the proposed
charter which will be revised, is the
one dealing with franchises, and an
other is the clause compelling the
owners of property adjacent to roads
and streets being graded, to
have the cost paid by the city at
large.
Meet Tonight
The redraft will come up for final
decision this evening and should 1t
meet with the approval of the COM
mission members it is likely that the
council will he called into extra ses-
sion next Monday. Should the coun-
ell act favorably, the charter will be
put before the voters atSthe city cleo
ton in February. If the charter
should carry at that time, the new
government would be effective in
1915.
Eleven Present
Eleven members of the charter
commission were present at the meet
ing last evening, these being, F. S.
