Democrats were present to-day.
Headed by Chairman kitchin. Ways
and Means Committee members spent
the day wranglins over the problem of
how TO divide the big committee places
between Republicans and Democrats
Republican Leader Mann submitted Il
demand for increased Republican COM
mi;tcc representation. on the ground
that the cutting down of the Demo
cratic House majority and the in
creased Republican membership en-
titled the minority To more committee
places than ii was given in the last
Congress. He suggested that instead
of the big committees being made up
of fourteen Democrats and seven Re
puhiicaNS. the representation be- twelve
and nine. AS alternative proposals. he
suggested that the committees he in
creased by one member and divided
thirteen and nine, or cut down one and
divided twelve and eight All of these
proposals were taken under considera-
ton by the committees, and the
mainder OF the day was spent in thrcSli-
ing them out. without definite result.
At the close OF the session. Chairman
kitchin said that. while no definite APP
portionment had been decided upon, il
was certain that the Republicans would
be given increased representation in
some manner. The committee will
continue its labors tomorrow.
BUDGET COMMIT"TEE
IS BADLY DIVIDED
Tonight the budget committee OF
the Democratic caucus met in an effort
to reach an agreement on some plan
10 revise the methods Of spending the
governments money. The committee
was badly divided on proposed plans,
however, and general disinclination
among House members TO disturb the
established order OF things, in the face
OF the mass of problems confronting
Congress, Is expected to prevent any
definite action on the adoption of
budget at this session. Chairman
Sherley, of the committee, Will talk the
situation over with President Wilson,
however before the effort to reform tho
appropriation methods is definitely
abandoned or postponed.

Stamfordham, private secretary to
King George Of England, giving the
Kings support to the prohibition
movement in the United Kingdofn and
even pledging abstinence within the
royal household as an example to the

interest which outstripped the twice

No development OF the European
wa is likely to have SO tremendous al
influence upon American politics as
the sudden swing of two of the great
allied countries. Russia and Great
Britain, toward the prohibition of al
coholic liquors. This is the firm con-
viction of politicians Of all parties in
Washington. 1t is the paramount item
Of interest In the war news today.
That the establishment Of prohibit
ton in the United Kingdom, forced
by the demand for the highest pos
sible individual efficiency in the hour
Of the nations crisis, on the heels Of
similar action by the Russian gov
eminent. will be followed by national
prohibition in the United States is the
fond hope of the prohibition agitators
in this country.
There is no effort on the part.
even OF n liquor interests, to
deny that the greatest war Of
history has furnished the great
est argument to the. prohibition
lists on this side Of the Atlantic.
With the United states, Englan
and Russia dry" the dream Of world
prohibition in the not far distant flu
ture begins to appear as a posi-
bility.. The movement in the United
States for national prohibition through
an amendment to the federal consti.
tuition has already gained a momen
tum which is causing every politician
not allied with it to become great,
alarmed. 1t begins to look as if tn,

GERS also that this has been the re-
suit. Military service today, especially
in the navy, makes the same require
ments of men hat industrial service
does and demands even a higher eff
fciencv. That cannot be perfectly oD-
tanned unless there is abstinence, at
least while the men are or duty.
"It has been said Of my order that
it tended to cause the public to think
Of the officers Of the United States
Navy as men who drink to excess.
Nothing is further from the truth, but
I confess hat l realized that the is
suance of such an order might lead
some uninforned people to believe
that there was excessive drinking IN
the navy. The fear Of such a result
caused me to delay issuing h pro-
hibitiOn order for about a year.
However, 1 believe hat constant
iteration Of the truth, that there is
and was very little excessive drinking
in our navy, will remove any such
wrong impression Of the personnel Of
the service. The public will realize
this in the long run, and the service
will come to realize in the long run
hat abstinence on duty makes for eff
1iciency.

There isn't much doubt that the

ENGLAND has had total prohibition

form OF license and regulation, but
has found prohibition the only sue

SOCIALISTS N CRESTED
BUTTE ELECTION TUESDAY

The city election at Crested Butte is
never a tame affair, for apparently the
inhabitants of that town are extremely
interested in municipal affairs at cleo
tion time, and the voting this week
proved no exception to the rule. After
a whirlwind campaign waged by the
Socialists on one side. and the Taxpay-
ers on the other, DIR. Angus Taylor,
Taxpayer, defeated his opponent for
mayor. DIR. Orlando A. Dram, with a
plurality of sixty-seven votes. Every
member of the Taxpayers ticket was
elected with good majority, and the
question of bonding the town for the
purpose of purchasing or building a
light and water plant was defeated two
to one. There were thirty votes for a
light plant and seventy-eight against it.
Thirty four votes were cast for water
plant and eighty against it.
The question Of municipal ownership
played a considerable part in the cam
paign, and meant several well attended
campaign meetings.
The names of those who were elected
and the vote received by them and their
opponents are given here:
For Mayor: Orlando A. Dram, l37;
Angus Taylor, 204

A cor losd of this ore is already mined

The Abe Lincoln, owned by George

milling ore. 1t also has a ten stamp
mill in good order to treat its ore. A
large amount of development work has

The Midnight property, owned by Las

The Maud property, owned by William

Two or three new companies have
been formed the past winter and expect
to do considerable work the coming
season. Bowerman is still on the map
