THE BIG NAVY SCANDAL.

in his speech before the Econo-
mic Club, Representative Gard
ner of Massachusetts described
the United States navy as consist
ing of twelve SuperdreadnaughtS
ten pretty fair battleShipS, eight
venerable relics and four floating
masses of Scrap-iron." As to the
general condition of these ships,
each commander in the navy out
of pride praises his own ship, but
says most of the rest are junk"
We have the solemn word of
the representative of MaSSachu-
SeltS that I'VE started to have a
navy, but we haven't got it."
If this be true, the proper in
vestigatiOn authority is not a
committee of congress, but a fC
eral grand jury. If we have no
navy, what has become of the
hundreds of millions of dollars
that the American people have
paid for a navy?
During the last ten years of Re-
publican administration under
Roosevelt and Taft the total ap-
preparations for the navy were
nearly $1,2OO,OOO,OOO. Mr.. Gard
ner assures us that we have no
navy; so what became of the
money?
The naval appropriations for
1914 we're more than $40, 900
The total appropriations made
for the German army in 1913 were
only S115,000. Our navy is cost
| ing as much as The combined
navieS of Germany and Austria
Hungary cost in 1918, plus the
Italian navy, and Mr.. Gardner
tells us that we have no navy. II
is costing three-fifths as much as
the British navy cost in 1913, ant
Mr.. Gardner tells us that we have
no navy.
We have certainly paid for one
We have laviShed more money

BRING SCHOOL LAWS
TO DATE, SAYS ROSS.
State Superintendent Will Ask
Legislature for $4,000 For
Better Schools Commits
'e sion.

While Kansas school laws need
revision and cOdificatiOn, these
changes should be made careful
ly and slowly, according TO w.
ID. Ross, state superintendent Of
public instruction. In his bien-
nial report he will recommend to
the state legislature that a Better
Schools commission be appointed
to make a painStaking study Of
the school laws of Kansas and
other states before recommending
any changes. "The commission
should be thoroughly represen-
tative," said Superintendent Ross.
ut ought to consist Of nine men,
berS, four of them school people
representing the different phases
of education, two of them far
merS representing country needs,
two of them business men repre-
Senting city conditions, and a law
yer to give advice and suggestions
on legal points.
"If Kansas educational system
is to be brought up to twentieth
century standards, there must be
a thorough and complete codifi-
cation of all our school laws. In
fact, we ought to adopt an entire
.ly new code. Obsolete sections
of our present laws should be re-
) pealed, and many chapters entire
ly' rewritten with the spirit of
modern educational thought and
the needs Of a new day in mind"
Following are some of the mat
terS the commission should con-
slider, according to Ross.
=. First, a comparative study of
school administration in other
states, especially in those with
new school codes.
Second, a survey of Kansas
. schools to learn defects and means
of correcting them.
Third, the question of a larger
unit of rural school organization

LONG TINE LOANS TO CATTLE
RAISERS ADVISES FEDER-
AL RESERVE BANKER

kansas is now the sunshine
spot of the world" declared M. L.
Mcclure, a member of the FEEDER
al Reserve Board of the Kansas
City district, in an address on the
Relation of the Banker to the
Live Stock Farmer" before the
statewide institute at the Kansas
State Agricultural College. BE
sides the enormous wheat crop
raised this year, Kansas has mar
keted at Kansas City 8O9,767 cat
tie, 100000 hogs, $4,000 sheep,
46,600 horses and mules with a
value of about $7S,0O0,O0O. That
is good business for the bankers
and for the farmers.
"The beef herds in the United
States have decreased from a.
100000 head in 1898 to 35,OOO,OO0
head in 1914. This explains the
high cost of beef. The great pro-
blem to be solved at The present
lime is how to increase the beef
herds in the United States. The
individual farmer must go into
the raising of calves wherever it
is possible. Ii takes work to ham
die a breeding herd of cattle but
The profits are proportional. |
think it would assist some for The
United States government to lease
to cattle raiSerS, subject to settle
ment, the public lands for periods
of five years and allow fencing.
"a way ought to be provided
so that cattle raiSerS can borrow
money for long periods, from
three 10 five years, on breeding
herds. 1t is impossible at the
present time with short time loans
secured from local banks to fl
nance the cattle breeding propo-
Sition.
"The interest of the banker is
identical with the interest of the
cattle raiser. The prosperity of
the banker depends on the pros
Iperity of the farmer. The best III
veStment for the banker is his
cattle loans. There has neWr
been enough money to handle the
live stock business in Kansas. In
Kansas City, $6O,OOO,0OO is loaned
annually to the live stock inter-
eStS."
Mr.. Mcclure then took up a
discussion of the federal reserve,
showing how the reserve banks
are to be managed and the prob
able effect upon business and the
farming interests of the country
He especially pointed out its &C.
feet on farmers who desire long
time loans. In conclusion he
said:
81 believe we are at this time
facing the greatest revival of bus.
mess we have had in number
; of years. If the war continues
any length of time, every working
man in the United States will have
employment and the products of

MARKET REPORT.


11.-Beef steers advanced 10 to
10 cents last week after WedneS-
day, closing steady for the week.
Cows and bulls closed 10 to Is
lower, and StockerS and feeders,
after losing 10 to Is cents first of
the week, remained steady balance
of the week, and everything in
the yards was sold before the end
of the week. Receipts here to-
day are $4,000 cattle, and beef
cattle are selling 5 to Is lower,
StOckerS and feeders are strong.
Chicago has $4,000 cattle today,
which is $4,000 more than was eS-
timated there Saturday for today.
That large supply is, of course,
the weakening feature of the beef
cattle market here, for under pre-
sent conditions at Chicago every
animal that arrives at the yards
must be slaughtered; no StockeT
and feeder shipments are permit
ted out of Chicago. A supply OF
$4,000 cattle at Chicago means
that just that many cattle will
have to be sold TO killers. On the
other hand, the receipts here to-
day contain a large share OF
StockerS and feeders, and a com
paratively small number of kill
ing cattle, a classification beSI
suited for the condition of the
market today, as the demand
here for StockerS and feeders is
the strongest feature of the mar.
