THE FINANCIAL SIDE

The war with Spain cost s425, ,OoO,-
900 during the first year. Congress,
in 1898, appropriated $50, ,oOo, 900 for
national defense, and later in the
same session appropriated 1926, ,00O, 600
for war purposes.
1t is quite probable that war with
Mexico will require the issuance of
bonds with which to fill the war
chest. The Panama Canal has been
largely paid for out of the ordinary
revenues, instead Of by bonds, there
by causing the present generation to
pay for this work that is to be chiefly
beneficial to posterity.
The proper course for Con.
gress to pursue at this time is OBJ.
viously the enactment of legislation
for an adequate bond issue, which
require posterity to assume some Of
the burden Of building the Panama
Canal. 1t is asking too much
of the present generation te
build the canal and then pay extra
ordinary taxes for the prosecution o.
war with Mexico.

THE MARINES

Washington Times: Kipling is the
only man who could sing the song of
the American marines quite worthily.
They are the men who have done
about all the fighting under the Amer
lean flag since the civil war, save the
little conflict with Spain. Under all
skies and climates, they are always
at the point where they are needed;
the skirmish line, the police patrol Of
our government, the guardians of ma
tional dignity and American citizens
wherever there may be threat Of
trouble. The young American with
an ambition for real adventure, with
wish to see and learn the art Of war,
has in recent years been commended
to the marines. If there is trouble,
it means marines to the front; first to
get orders, frst in motion, first to
ashore, nrst to fire. There is no finer
body Of lighting men in al the world,
none more thoroughly reasoned 81

THE COLORADO MASSACRE

New Y ork World: If such an atrocity
as that reported in Colorado had been
chargeable to Villa or Huerta in
Mexico the whole country would have
been atlame at the horror of it. Whole
families have been wiped out as re.
suit of a strike war between mine
guards and militiamen on one side and
miners on the other. OF the dead and
wounded the majority are women and
children.
There could be no such massacre as
this if the state of Colorado had not
surrendered its government to the
Rockefeller Fuel and Iron Co. 1t has
done even worse than that. Having
permitted the inhabitants of large
section of its territory to carry on hos
tilities for months, it has openly taken
sides. Instead of using it's great au-
thority to compel peace and establish
justice, it has assailed the weaker of
the antagonists with all the fury of the
savages who once roamed it's valleys.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of
the quarrel between Mr.. Rockefeller
end his employees may be, it is the duty
of the state of Colorado to enforce it's
laws without fear or favor. This it
has not done. 1t has hidden in cow
ardly way behind pretense of martial
law. Its own armed agents have been
more intent upon serving Rockefell
than upon serving the state.
Rockefeller recently testified that he
was willing to sink his entire invest
ment in Colorado rather than yield to
the demand of his employees that they
be permitted to organize. He has de-
bauched an American commonwealth,
and the blood of women and children is
on the hands of his barbarous agents,
private and public.

MEDIATION OFFER

The friendly offer of the ministers
from Brazil, Argentina and Chile has
been favorably received by President
Wilson with the declaration that his
government does not feel at liberty to
decline it.
The plenipotentiaries from the coun-
tries named. representing their several
governments at Washington, tender to
the president their good Offices for a
peaceful and friendly settlement of the
conflict between the United States and
Mexico.
After acknowledging receipt of the
joint note of the representatives of
South America governments, the presi-
dent said:
CONSCIOUS of the purpose of which
the proffer is made this government
does not feel at liberty to decline it. Its
own chief interest is in the peace of
America, the cordial intercourse of her
republics and their people and the hap
piness and prosperity which can spring
only out OF frank, mutual understand
ings of the friendship which is created
by common purpose. The generous of
er of your governments is therefore ac-
cepted.
Mr.. Wilson hopes for good results
from this protfer of intervention, but
fears that some act of aggression on
the part of those conspicuous in the af-
fairs of Mexico may render abortive
the intent; rs of those who have laid
their plan of pacification before him.
This proposal for mediation has been
submitted to Huerta and should he con-
slider it, there is bare possibility of
favorable results.
But any plan of settlement that will
be satisfactory to the United States
must be based upon the withdrawal of
Huerta from the dictatorship and he is
not at all disposed to step out.
The source of the offer will COM
mend itself to Mexico, coming from the
sister republics of the south, and they
may be able to reach what little intel
ligence exists in that country.
Until replies haYe been received to
their proposition, no further steps will
be taken in the direction of a peaceful
termination of the encounter.
Meanwhile there is growth OF war
sentiment in congress. Leaders in that
body are discussing the necessity for an
unequivocal declaration of war and the
application of all the resources of the
United States to force Huerta to terms
The house is ready to appoint COM
mittee to represent to the president
that the sentiment of that body is for
war. 1t will, however, postpone action
until the effect of the proposal for
mediation has been fully tested --Hur-
on Huronite.

MILEAGE GRAFT GOING

Sioux City Journal: Wars and rumors
OF wars should not prevent little COM
mandatory conversation about long
discussed reform which was put through
the house of representatives the other
day when hardly anyone was looking.
As consequence of this unostentatious
well doing, unless a cog should slip
somewhere later. the socalled mileage
graft will become thing of the past,
and members of congress will be paid
only their actual expenses travelling to
and from Washington.
Under the present mileage system
members of congress are given an al
lowance of 20 cents mile for the dis
tance travelled to and from Washington
once each session. The allowance is
based on the cost of travel in the old
stage coach days, when progress was
slow and expensive and attended by
many hotel bills. BY making the same
allowance in these days of quick and
economical railroad tra7el Uncle Sam
is estimated to be paying at least twice
as much as the actual travelling expend-
lures of members and their families
amount to. About 5000, 900 has been
expended annually for travelling allow
ances. A saving of half would mean
an annual economy of about $1OO. 900.
When the question of including the
annual allowance of 20 cents a mile
came up in committee of the whole, in
connection with the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation hill, the
house voted 66 to 26 to retain the old al
lowance. No roll call is taken in COM
mittee of the whole. Later, when the
item was considered in open session, an
astonishing reversal of sentiment devel-
oped. On an amendment to abolish the
fiat 20-cent allowance and substitute an
allowance covering the actual travelling
expenses Of Representatives and depend
ent members of their families, the
house voted 237 to 95 for the new sys-
tenn.
The elimination of the flat mileage
allowance removes only one Of the sew
eral forms Of graft wholly out Of keep.
| ing with the dignity of the office Of rep
cesentative IN congress. A particular
ly Objectionable remaining one gives
members an annual allowance of 81, 5000
for clerk hire. Some pocket the whole
of it; others pay it over to members Of
their own families who perform no cler-
ical work; still others pay only portion
of it to clerks who do the actual work
for small fraction of the amount al
lowed by kind hearted Uncle Samuel.
Where any of this allowance for clerk
hire finds its way into the pocket Of .
representative or member Of his fam
lily who fails to render value received
the essence Of graft is involved in the
transaction. Incommittee of the whole
the other day the house had the nerxe
to increase this annual allowance to
81, 800; but when the item was reached
in the open house the increase was hur-
riedly voted out. II this graft is to be
eliminated, it should be done 40 in the
travelling allowance, by combining the
allowance for clerk hire to sums actual
| ly paid out for that purpose.
