of $95,S56,240. If all this armor hat
been manufactured in governme ent
plants, at least $35 100000 would have
been saved to the taxpayers.
Other items of preparedness show
the same discrepancies. The war de
partment in 1913. for instance, pur-
chased 1000 4.7-nch shrapnel from
private manufacturers. 1t paid SOS 20
for each shell. At the same time the
exact article was being manufactured
in the government plant at Philadel-
phia at a cost of S1545
Fol a 3.8-inch shrapnel the depart
ment paid $3.50; the government cost
of the identical article is $794
AT the government plant at Rock ISL
and, Ill, the war department manu-
factures caissons for gun carriages al
a cost of 81, Ct each. Private manu-
facturers have been paid $1,744.10 for
the same article, which is 5d.6 per cent
greater than the government cost.
The same is true in government pur-
ehases of powder. The government has
bought about $25, 5,ooo,000 worth of pow
der from the powder trust since 1908
paying all the way from 53 cents up
to 80 cents a pound for it The gov
ernment plant at Indian Head is manu-
featuring the identical powder today
al 81 cents a pound, and the faster the
plant capacity is increased the lower
the cost will be.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
stated officially in his annual reports
that the navy department can manu-
facture every single item, from paint
to dreadnaughts, cheaper than tn,
same articles can be purchased from
private manufacturers.
This is true in spite of the fact thai
government employees are generally
better treated, have shorter hours of
labor, more holidays and better pay
than is the rule in private plants
These government arsenal costs alsc
include 10 per cent for oYerh ead
charges, depreciation of plant and sim
liar items.

AMERICAN KRUPPS
PLAN PROFITS OUT
OF PREPAREDNESS
BY ellison Gardner

Washington, Dec. 1.-Publie service
or private graft?
That Is the question which has come
TO the front in connection with the ad-
minittration's preparedness program.
Are the millions to be spent really
for defense or are they to be distrib
uted as enorm Gus profits to tho steel
trust the powder trust. the shipbuild- :
ing trust, and the other American
Krupps2
Shall the government spend the
money and get dollars worth Of
preparedness for every dollar spent,
or shall the government let the private
corporation take from 20 10 60 per
cent in private profits for doing it?
This Is the very real and practical
question confronting congress. Ii can
not be lodged.
group of determined congressman
will force the issue during the whole
time the preparedness program--both
army and nayy--is on the floor of
Congress. These men Will not oppose
preparedness-but they will oppose pri-
vateprofit- preparedness.
The question will be emphasized, too.
by the attitude of Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, who charges openly that
the shipbuilders are a trust; that their
bids arc collusive, and that their
profits are eXtortionate.
The question will be forced from
another angle by the charges and coun-
ter charges between the Navy League
and Representative Clyde Tavenner,
the league threatening libel suits and
Tavenner threatening a congressional
inquiry TO determine whether the
league Is supported by men who profit
by private munitions manufacture.

become of the staggering sums ap
propriated for preparedness is to be.
found In the fact that four firms have
received since 1887 orders aggregat
ing S175, 200, and have been paid
from 20 to 50 per cent more than the
same could have been manufactured
for in government arsenals and navy
yards
II Is possible to obtain some definite
and specific informatio a to the econ
omy of government manufacture. In
the item of armor plate, for instance,
ten official estimates as 10 the actual
cost of a ton of armor plote given an
average estimate of S23S.64 a ton.

partment has purchased 217,379 tons
of armor, paying the armor ring an
average of $4,000 n ton, or a total

HOMESTEAD AT SEWARD
 GOES BACK ID J. $.

The register and receiver of the Jn- peau land office has rendered a de- cision in the case of the United States vs. Harry E. Reville in regard to the latter's homestead claim of 320 acres in the vicinity of Seward.
 The charges preferred by the gov ernment were sustained; but the land officers recommended that Reville be given such equitable relief as is pos sible for the department to grant.
 The charges of the government were that Reville had failed to reside on the land as required by law, and that prior to the time of filing his final proofs he entered into an agreement with A. c. Frost, president of the Alaska Northern railway, and W. T. Poland, chief engineer. to convey to one or the other of the two men, t. tie to a portion of his homestead.
