WOULD "PUT ARMY

Bill to Be introduced Today Provides

Public Highways.

A bill having for its object putting
the army and navy to work." will be in
troduced in the House today by Repre-
sentative Warren Worth Bailey. OF Penn
sylvania.
army and a big navy-all jingUes agree
that we must in the interest of world
peace-then let's put EN- to work"
This is Representative Bailey's idea. By
the terms of his bill the President is
authorized and directed to employ the
officers and men Of the army and navy
in the construction of the Alaskan rail-
roads and other public work authorized
by Congress. including the reclamation
of arid lands, drainage of submerged or
swamp lands. construction of levees or
public highways and improvement OF
rivers and harbOrs.
I'VE have a very large body of trained
men who now are not earning their
salt" said Mr.. Bailey. Largely speak
ing. the army and navy are dead
weight on the shoulders of labor. They
are as much a burden as the folks in the
poor house or in the asylums- They
work. of course. but unproductively. They
are made up N large part OF the very
flower of our young manhood. Oficers
and men alike are capable of useful
work, and If they were not engaged in
dipping up water and pouring it back
again they would be occupied in some
gainful employment.
I'VE are appropriating approximately
ssOo 600. 600 on the army and navy this
wear. That is at least twice what
Democratic Congress ought to appro-
pirate, but jingoism has possession OF the
Democrats as it long has had possession
Of the Republicans. And what are we
going to get for all this money? Not q
blessed thing actually worth while. We
shall get perhaps some moro battleships
ard other fighting craft. We shall get
some more boys away from gainful occu-
pations into an occupation morally ana
economically destructive"
Mr. Bailey thinks all public works. as
far as possible. should be earned on oy
the army and navy and that civilians
should not be called IN until the demands
for labor and superintendence exceed the
supply from the other source
