Washington Letter.
BY Edward Keating,
Congressman-nt-L;,rge
From Colorado.

The Democratic party in the
Baltimore platform denounced
Republican extravaganza and
promised the people econimical
expenditure of public funds.
What did we mean by that ex-
preston, Economical expendi-
ture"? For several 4 .ys w. have
been threshing out that question
in the House and the roll calls
will show how TIE various mem
bers answered it. l have no dis
position to criticise the position
taken by any of my colleagues.
In these reports | merely endea-
: vor to give an accounting of my
own stewardship.
| have voted to increase some
appropriations and to reduce 9th
ers. l believe the Government
should spend money freely for
those things which make for the
conservation of human life, and
for the promotion and wider diff
fusion of human happiness.
Therefore i voted for large ap-
preparations for the work Of the
Children's Bureau, for the study
and prevention of occupational
diseases, for the adjustment of
industrial disputes. for the prep
aration and distribution Of infor
nation on topics related to agri-
culture, horticulture and stock
raising. for the prevention of ac-
cideats in mining and other indus
trial occupations, for the con-
struction of good roads, and many
other governmental activities
which; to my mind, had for their
object the betterment of the con-
dition Of mankind.
On the other hand l have ia
vored curtailing the expenditures
for those things which might be
described as "the gold lace OF
government" "-an enlarged Ar
my, a top-heavy Navy, increases
in the number of fat jobs in the
executive departments, and ad-
ditions to the perquisits allowed
members of Congress.
WHO PAYS THE BILL? ,
A few illustrations will perhaps
prove of interest to my readers
who mag not be familiar with the
way their representatives are
spending their money. Right
here it might be well to empha-
size the point that the dollars
disbursed by Uncle Sam do not
grow on trees. and are not rain
ed from Heaven like the mama
which fell on the famishing Is
raelites. Every cent comes out
Of the pockets of the people and
in the very nature of things can
net come from any other sssource.
In round figures it costs about
500, 900, 600 to the National Gov
ernment one year. This is ex-
, elusive of the Post Office De-
partment. which is self-support-
ing. ...
Of this sum approximately
1920, 900, 900, or over 40 per cent,
goes to the Army and Navy.
Pensions take $4,000, 900 more.
This leaves $3.50, 100000 for ali
civil purposes. The tax on whis-
key, beer and tobacco takes care
of the civil list while the receipts
from the tariff and income tax
are just about sufficient to meet
the expenditures for the Army
and Navy and pensions.
We spend more money for our
A L

land and Russia. Our expendi-
lures are four times as great as
those of Japan and exceed Ger
many's by $50, 100000. Yet we
are constantly met with the de-
rnand for more dreadnaughts and
a larger Army.
In the last ten years we have
spent more money preparing for
war and endeavoring to repair
the damage done by the conflicts
in which we have engaged in the
past than was ever expended in
a similar period of peace by any
other nation in the history of the
world. This is an appalling rec
ord and l think we should be
heartily ashamed of it.
l do not believe the American
people would stand for it if they
were in the possession of all the
facts. Unfortunately not one
man in ten has the slightest con-
ception of the kings ransom
which we are pouring every year
into the rat hole of militarism.
l find that even Members of Con-
gress have not stopped to- study
the figures. i
SAVE THE BABIES.
Some of the men who are fore
most among the champions of
a big navy and a large army
threw up their hands in horror
the other day when some of US
insisted on increasing the appro-
priation for the Children's Bu-
reau.. They said we were loot
ing the Treasury" ...-.
This bureau was organized two
years ago and charged with the
duty of Investigating and re-
porting on all matters pertaining
to the welfare of children and
child life." That is a pretty big
contract and Miss Julia Lathrop.
the chief of the bureau was CIV
en- $25. $40 with which TO execute
it. This sum was just sufficient
to meet the payroll Of the Wash
ington Office of the bureau. and
it left nothing for field work, the
employment of experts, travel
ing expenses. etc. A few weeks
ago Miss Lathrop went before
the Appropriating Committee
with a comprehensive program for
the coming year and asked for
an increase of $139, 600 in her
appropriation.
Among other things she point
ed out that 100000 babies less
than one year old, die in this
country every year, and she
showed by the testimony of ex-
perts that half of these deaths
were traceable to preventable
causes. She pleaded to be per-
mitted to enter on this work of
saving innocents, but the COM
mittee turned her down and de-
creed that she should continue to
sit in her Washington Office for
two years more with little to do
except draw her salary.
The Comittee made the.mistake
of understanding Miss Lathrop's
fighting ability. She appealed to
the individual members of the
House and the result was one of
the prettiest fights 1 have seen in
Washington.
It is not an easy matter to
overthrow the powerful Com
mittee on appropriations but we
did it and in the doing we smash
ed marty lines beyond all poSSi-

Italy's Position.

Rome, Aug. 3.-The war situation,
so far as Italy is concerned, is con-
sidered very grave. The censorship
has succeeded in SURPRISING all news
except a short. colorless official state
ment that Italy is calm and will not
mobilize but will conform her con-
duct to treaty obligations"
This statement is interpreted diff
ferently here. According to the opin-
ion of some Italians the neutrality of
Italy is assured. while others believe
that Italy will participate in the con-
fict only in case the central powers
sustain a reverse.
Meanwhile all projects in the. king
dom have warned the press not to
publish any military news or move
ments of troops.
The warships of the kingdom are
under the same penalty as in the Italo-
Turkish war. Apprehension is felt at
the lack Of coal owing to 1taly's sup
ply being entirely English. Efforts
are being made to secure American
coal.

PROTECT THEM FROM WANT

Suppose the Grim Reaper snatch
ed you away from your happy fireside
today. Would your wife be protected?
After the doctors and undertaking
bills were paid, would she have
enough to permit her to keep UP the
home, live right, educate the children
and free the future years Of toll and
misery? Would your plans and in
vestments all go wrong, because your
wife wouldn't have the means to con-
tinue the payments or meet the in
terest?
No man will have any occasion for
anxiety if. his provision takes the
form Of insurance. Aside from the pro-
lection at death, insurance helps him
to enjoy peace and contentment in de-
Ginning years, because of the money
he receives from the matured policy.
The cost of insurance is very mod
est compared to the benefits you and
yours receive. Let us talk 1t over,
now, today when you are insurable.
Tomorrow you may not be. :.
