WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 2.
Opposition to any plan for mill
tary preparedness is announced
by Representative Claude Kitchin,
who is scheduled to be floor lead
er of the majority in the next
house of representatives. Kitchin
says: II favor millions for mines
and submarines, but not one cent
for a bigger navy or an increased
army"
Secretary Garrison will I'M
doubleday report in favor of a
much more elaborate and expen-
sive system of volunteer soldier
making, and 1t has been announc-
ed from the White House that the
Wilson approval would be given
to Secretary Daniels recommen-
dations for super-dreadnaughts,
submarines, airships, GOLFERS and
all the necessary accessories to
powerful navy.
The frank hostility of Kitchin
to this program has started talk
of rival candidate, supported by
the administration, for house
Il der.
A long time before Colonel
Roosevelt made his now celebrat-
ed speech at the training camp at
Plattsburg, N. Y, the administra-
ton had shown disapproval of
that affair. The invitation to
President Wilson to attend was
ignored; also that to the various
members of his cabinet, including
Secretaries Daniels and Garrison.
Garrison is, in fact, greatly in
terested and would be highly APP
proving, but naturally, he does
not want to get out of step with
the White House.
Why the administration disap-
proves the Plattsburg enterprise
anybody is at liberty to guess for
themselves.

the result Is seen in the option OF discontinuipe
the activities of one Of the most important bur-

extra session of the legislature.
The late legislature was controlled in both

Not a Partisan Triumph.

While all good citizens will rejoice in the
notable diplomatic victory apparently achieved
by the United States in its dealings with the
European belligerents, and none will detract
from the great good wrought by the president
IL Is not by any means partisan triumph. All
the people of the country have stood unitedy
by the president and upheld his hands through
out the crisis II he has had the criticism, and
perhaps the opposition, OF the radicals on one
aide. he has had also TO deal with the extremists
on the other. No more notable example of this
possibly could be presented than that afforded
by the late secretary of state, who resigned at
tho most trying moment Of the tense situation
irving as his reason that he was not In accord
with the presidents views, and could not allow
his name to be signed TO the note that has
brought the desired result. Try as they may
the democrats will have some difficulty in max
ing party triumph out Of these international
developments.

SOUTH SIDE. OMAHA. Sept 2.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Prom what I can
learn and see the commission form Of city
government is a very expensive luxury.
From information can gather there are
too many offices and a great many OF
the officials are paid salaries far in ex-
cess of what they could earn in their
private occupations. 1t would be much
better, n my Judgment. II we would go
back to the old form and elect men TO
the city council by wards so that every
part OF the city may have some repre-
sentation.
commission OF level-headed business
men and fair representatives OF the labor
organizations ought to be appointed to
thoroughly overhaul city affairs and cut
down unnecessary offices and cut the
salaries where II ought to be done in their
judgment Have no politicians on the
commission OF investigation. Have them
cut down city expenses at every point
that will not cripple the management OF
city affairs. but which will be for the
benefit OF the taxpayers.
There Ia no good reason why so many
OF the city officials and their APP
pointees should be supplied with auto
mobiles. The salaries OF most of them
are far in excess of what the average
taxpayers can earn and for that reason
most of them could afford to buy their
own automobiles.
If an election should be called today
1t is my opinion that the commission form
OF government would be voted out Of ex-
istence. Let us get rid of the luxurious
form Of government. get down to bust
ness principles and run the city on an
economical basis, r. A. AGNEw.
