Mr.. GARDENERS $500 600 OOn
a YEAR.

Representative Gardner of Massa-
clusettS expresses his WILLINGNESS To
spend $7OOOOO,O0O Il year, if neces-
sary, to put the country in a condi-
ton OF preparedness for war"
Seven hundred million dollars a
year exceeds the total appropria ions
Of Congress in 1914, exclusive of the
postal service, for the maintenance Of
the United States Government.
1T represents approximately the
cost OF the German army and navy
In 1913, plus the cost Of the British
navy, plus the cost of the Japanese
navy. On the basis of foreign OK
penditures it would give the United
States an army equal to the German
army mad navy equal to the com.
bined British, German and JAPANESE
naVles. That seems to be Mr.. Gard
ners theory Of preparedness for
war"
And where does the gentleman
from Massachusetts think this $780,
100000 year is coming from? The
total ordinary revenue of the United
States Government for the fiscal wear
ending June 80, 1914, was 1874 ,673,-
1877. After Mr. Gardner has expend-
ed $700,000,0O0 on preparedness for
war, where would the Treasury get
the other $5OO,OOO,O0O necessary to
carry on the ordinary business Of the
government?
To be sure, we could double or triple
or Quadruple the income tax and the
corporation tax. VIE could strip the
tariff of every element Of protection
and put it strictly on revenue basis
in order to obtain as much as posi-
bic from customs duties. We could
retain the present war tax. increase
its rates and extend its scope. rs a

be leveied upon the States on the bas-

Gardner think the verdict Of tho oOun.

alton imposed in the way Of "prc0ar-
ednoss for war?" What would hap
pen to a Congress that levied tax
Of $500. 100000 a year for military pur-
poses in time Of peace?
The United States is already spend
ing nearly $3.50 100000 a year on its
military establishments. If the army

Start Logging
on Big Creek

G.. A. Branson was in this city
Monday shipping his teams up to
Herrick to start logging. He al
ready had his sawyers at work
and will start getting out logs
at once. He expects to have a
hundred men at work as soon as
he gets fairly started. D. B.
Kennedy, who has had charge of
his logging operations for the
past two years, will have the
same position this year.
Mr.. Branson expects to finish
his operations on Big creek this
season. He has about six mil
lion feet to put in and wants to
get it done and the railroad torn
up before the snow flies. He has
over eleven miles of railroad
which will have to be taken up.
This railroad is owned by the
Milwaukee Lumber company and
is loaned TO Mr.. Branson and that
company wishes to get the steel
to use on their Marble creek road.

Adds Materially
To Its Facilities

The Idaho Laundry company
is one of the progressive insti-
tutions Of the city. It misses
no opportunity to improve its
plant providing the improvement
means better service to its pat
rons and the question of cost is
given but very little considera-
ton. The company has just
purchased and is now installing
a Perfect Shirt Press" the new
est thing out in shirt presses.
The machine is a new invention
and this is one of the first sold
in the west and is the only one
in the Inland Empire, none of the
laundries, even in Spokane, hav-
ing installed one as yet.
One great improvement that
this machine has over other shirt
presses is that it is heated by
steam so that there is no danger
of the garments scOrching, an i'm
provement that will be highly ap-
preciated by the patrons. The
machine had to be shipped from
the east especially for the laun-
dry here and cost in the neigh
borhOOd of one thousand dollars
laid down here.
