The town of Guthrie Is replete.
Material wealth abounds.

|
The town of Guthrie is replete:
Material wealth abounds.
She is resourceful and complete;
You'll note while passing round
Her industries are ranking high;
Her education fair
Her beautiful wells are never dry,
And always in repair.
The invalid that seeks relief,
Though like a ghost appear,
VIII find cure beyond belief,
And take their leave in cheer
Her Institutions are a fact,
And not booming farce;
Although her people build with tact
She has an innate force
The wallow of the buffalo
lis a qnamtity unknown.
She builds not DER quicksand bar
Nor has been overgrown.
With advantages galore,
Which now are running rife,
She still is growing more and NOR
Which speaks well for her life.
A Capitol by all fair means
The loss can be made small
There many things will compensate
If we but taken the fall (tumble).
Now let all boosters get behind
And knock and boost and kick
If every power will but combine
We sure will turn the trick.
-Eichy Orry.

however. that the problem is here

Importance in this connection came
few days ago from the executive
offices OF the New York Life Insur-

real estate mortgages in its list Ct
investment securities This great con

There is another consideration.
though it may not have been included
in the process of reasoning which led
the company TO adopt the new policy:
1t is a wise economic move. If the
New York Life Insurance company
adopts a policy intended to accomplish
the placing of loans on farms at the
lowest possible net cost to the bor-
rover il will result in high degree
to bringing about the very situation
now most desired with respect to rlr-
ii life and living. Tf all the insurance
companies in America and the big
money agencies OF the country would
combine on such a policy it would
result in a relatively greater degree
toward solving this problem. III
would mean, TOO. greater prosperity
and better business. II would mean

Ii would be in sense the same
kind of economic wisdom that prompts
many states to pension widowed moth

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

There may be a few mean things
that the republicans haven't said about
the war tax adopted at the recent ses
sion of congress but II there are IL is
because the leaders OF the party have
not been able to think of them. And
yet. II these same republi ans were in
power and had the kind OF tariff law
they want, making the coun-
try rely almost wholly upon
this form of tax for reve-
nue.. there. isn't the slightest question
that they would be compelled to either
issue bonds or levy a special tax two or
three times as great as that which
will be collected by the present admin
istration. And on top OF greater de-
felt in the national treasury the repub-
licans would have had to face. with
someone other than President Wilson
at the head OF the nation, we might
have been involved in a war of our
own which would have put a mortgage
on the resources of the country for
many years to come.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-10-28
THE COST.

When the bin of the great war comes
to be settled, IL will be found a stupen-
dous one. Political economists esti-
mate that. in the event of hostilities
lasting six months, the monetary loss
TO the world will aggregate $17,600.-
100000. and conditions will be such
that national loans, aggregating sS,000,-
100000. will be needed, says the Chris
tian Herald. In times OF peace, the an
nual military expenditures OF all the
European nations reach Site, lot, 900
so that half of year OF war at the
present tension would equal nearly
twenty years expenditures IN peace
time. These estimates do not include
the great loss sustained by industry
and commerce, nor the crops, build
ings and other property destroyed, but
relate solely 10 the provisioning, feed
ing. wages, cost OF mobilization. am
munition Gland. sea and aerial), am
balances, Quitting. bridges and pom
toons. fuel, acquisitions. loss on taxes
and general incidentals connected with
the actual operations of a campaign as
vast as that which Is now under way
in eastern and western Europe.

GRAVEL ROADS.

Voters of Erie township in White
side county who have voted $4,000 for
the construction of gravel roads are
on the right path. II Rock Island coun-
ty were to take up gravel roads for
fits county highways 1t would undoubt-
edly get fairly satisfactory results and
at far less cost than any other type of
improvement will involve. Gravel is
to be had in various places in the
county so that the haul generally
would be short, and the cost for the
material would be almost nothing. II
has been shown time and again that
gravel is far superior both in surface
and wearing qualities. to macadam and
ranks well with still more expensive
materials. Gravel has been used in
several places, notably southwest of
Milan, in making stretches OF road
which formerly were nearly impossible
large part OF the year practically
free from mud the year around. The
wonder is that existing highway ofic-
ials have not long ago more generally
taken up the use of this most valuable
material.

VIII
lars OF extortionate profits.
My purpose in this effort to have
the government manufacture all its
munitions of war, including battleships,
is not merely to save the government
the amount of these extortionate prof
its, but to take the profit out of war
and preparation for war.
Those who advocate this policy are
not so much concerned whether we
build one battleship a year or two
battleships a year, so long as the gov
eminent does the manufacturing, be-
cause then for every dollar congress
appropriates for battleships the gov
eminent will receive a dollars worth
of battleship; but now no one knows
how much IT receives for its dollar
Many gentlemen want a large number
OF battleships simply in order that pri-
vate manufacturers may make huge
profits in building them. When the
government manufacturers all NUM-
lions OF war we will be able to decide
upon the number of battleships needed
on the merits of that question. Then
the amounts to be carried in the army
and navy bills will not be dictated by
the greed of the armor, powder, and
shipbuilding trusts, but by the needs
of the country from strictly military
viewpoint.
We do not know to penny the ex-
tent to which the government is being
overcharged, but we do know that Mr..
Carnegie, who was one of the first to
go into the armor-plate business,
boasts of having made millionaires out
of 43 men, and he is now going through
life giving his millions away, right and
left, and death is going to overtake
him with untold millions still on his
hands. So there must be huge profits
in the armor-plate business, and now
that the government has generously
permitted a considerable colony of
