NEW YORK PAPER
IN ARMOR FIGHT

The New York American of last
Saturday in a page article exposing
the armor trust as a result of Con-
gresham Clyde II. Tavenner's speech
in Cooper Union Friday night, pub
fishes an interview with Tavenner
under the caption, Congressman
Tavenner Appeals TO the People" as
follows:
rs there no way whatever by
which the people Can protect them
selves from the greed of the Wa
trust magnates? Yes; just one way"
said Tavenner. That is by the gov
eminent taking the profit out of war
and preparation for war by manufac-
turing all of it's own munitions, arm
or, cannon and battleships.
Both Washington and Lincoln ad-
vocated the naturalization Of the
manufacture of war munitions as
sound public policy.
IF the government will manufac-
ture all of its own war materials
millions of dollars will be saved an
nually to the taxpayers.
THE armor ring is the Bethlehem
Steel company, the Midvale Steel
company and the Carnegie Steel
company. These three firms, exclu-
sive of their subsidiary war-traffick-
ing auxiIiaries, have drawn down
since 1887 from the navy department
alone for the single item of arrnor
plate contracts aggregating $685.
e12, divided as follows: Bethlehem,
s42,321, 237; Carnegie, S32,954,377;
Midvale, 0,353, 296,
There have been nine official es-
Inmates as to the actual cost OF the
manufacture of ton OF armor plate.
The average estimate is s247.T per
ton. Yet since 1887 We have pur-
chased 217,379 tons Of armor. paying
the armor ring an average Of $4,000
per ton, or total of ss5.656.240
Il believe | am well within the
bounds of conservatism when ! say
that If all this armor had been manu-
featured in a government plant at
least s35 100000 would have been
saved to the American taxpayers. and
armor Is only one of the things being
purchased by the army and navy I'M
der similar conditions.
Army and navy officers generally
are opposed to complete government
manufacture of munitions of war
taking the position that il is the part
OF wisdom for the government to en-
courage private manufacturers to
operate plants so that they may be
available in time OF war.
Experience has shown. however
that instead OF periodically coming

time OF war. the war traders take ad.

breaches SERMON TO HIS MEN

A shake-up in the police force was
threatened at roll call last evening BY
Chief Phil Miller If further burg
larry jobs occurred in the business sec
ton of the city at night,
The chief said that the "raking
was administered because OF the Biiou
pool room burglary OF Monday night.
which. he said. might have been avoid
ed if officers in the business section
beat made the careful patrol required
of them. The chief said that there
are three uniformed men in the bust
ness section Of the city at night.
Chief Miller told the officers that
they are supposed to try" every front
door and every alley door in the bust
ness section Of the city as often dur
ing the night as they can. He said
that only through this system can the
protection be given business houses.
He asked the men to work independ-
emily Of the merchants night watch
men, saying that by paying their taxes
the business men should receive pro-
lection from the police department re-
gardless Of any additional steps they
might take,
Salary System Not Equitable
Chief Miller declared that the sal
airy system Of the police department
here was not equitable. He said that
new men were placed on the force at
the same stipend that the old re-
ceived. The chief held that the men
older in police harness should get a
higher salary than the younger, as in
most cases their value to the depart
ment is greater.
Speaking of the Bijou burglary.
Chief Miller said that the opinion of
the police is that the perpetrator OF
the job has left the city. He showed
that he was only after money, and
he probably got all of this he thought
was there and then left town" said

of North Dakota which is shipped
for gross freightage on grain un-
cleaned, unmixed. They also
carry out for us our livestock in
gross form, getting their tariff
OH freight; they likewise bring
back TO us the cured meats, gett-
ing their tariff again. If we
shipped flour, cured meats or
even cleaned and graded grain,
these profits would greatly
shrink, and the shrinkage would
go into the pockets of our own
enterprises.
The pachinghouses make their
profit on North Dakota livestock;
and it is said 60 per cent of hogs
received at South st. Paul come
from our state. The grain deal
ers, elevator men, the commits
sion men, the grain hospitals, the
elevators and the feeders who
feed up the screenings all make
profit from us. The buyers
who get our wheat in the crude
condition We send il out and hav-
ing cleaned it mix ii and sell it
at higher grades than Minnes"-
ia put upon it, make their prof
it. The banks, holding on de-
post millions of North Dakota
funds, make their profit. The
large number of inspectors and
other officials make their profits.
The grain spectators make their
profits. North Dakota's farms
enrich them all, at our expense.
The development of our own
grain market in this state is pos
sible, practicable and would mean
retaining among our own people
the vast sums of money now go
ing to enrich the twin cities.
The above is so evident truth
that nobody will contradict it.
The thing needed is to begin a
for North Dakota to
develop it's own mills, elevators,
packinghouses. That movement
ought to begin now without wait
ing any longer. 1t should come
from our public spirited citizens
and be cooperative to as large all
extent as is practicable. but al
movement of private capita
should not be discouraged nor
rejected. 1t is time to begin!
