will, patrols of the United States

Marine has been sent to all parts Of
the world on errands of duty, and
everywhere he has carried the iris
table game with him.
But, unlike other missionaries

places, he hasn't got himself into
trouble through 1t, and he rates the
glorious old pastime as 100 per cent

Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1915-11-18
ESTABLISH MUNITIONS FACTORIES.

If this country is going to enter upon al era OF extensive prepar-
alton for war why not establish factories for manufacturing war
materials?
1t is folly TO pay tribute to manufacturers Of death-deaGng goods
If we are going into the killing business lie. us as a people save the
profit on the making Of the articles.
Washington specials speak Of the administration plan to tax
munitionS-that is, to compel the manufacturers to pay the public
treasury Il portion Of their profits, as the great krupp works have
been required by Germany to pay over Il portion OF the net earnings.
But while the people of Germany are straining every nerve to
win the war, sacrificing their sons and their husbands and their
fathers, the krupp profits in the past year aggregated twelve per.
cent after dcIurtlng the sOcaled tax.
Let us cease holding out an incentive to the manufacturers of
their profits o II war materials, transferring it to the funds for the
maintenance of the army and the navy.
Within the next five years, if the administration s policy is car
red out, this government will cXpcnd two billions for preparation
for war. a patry hundred thousand, or possibly a million or so,
will come from the tax on munitons-the people will pay the rest.
And then, when war comes, well send forth our sons and our
fathers to offer themselves up as a living sacrifice in order that more
profit may be put into the Golfers of the manufacturers of war ma
tcras!
The Saturday News is opposed to vast expenditure for war
Possibly a reasonable amount of preparation may be needed. But
when We reflect that no country, in either ancient OF modern times,
was better prepared for war than was Germany Immediately pre-
ceding the outbreak of hostilites in Europe, we perceive that great
preparation is not an insurance against war.
President Wilson may be a man of peace, but his recommended
lions with reference to preparing ourselves to fight are strikingay
oring for war preparation has been the subject of much adverse
criticism on the part of the democratic party, and even of the close
advisers Of the Princeton schoolmaster.
We repeat that if we must prepare for wa upon a gigantic scale
1et. the people themselves reap the profit on the making of war mater
ias.
