CIAL AND MILITARY TRAINING
FOR NATIONAL EFFICIENCY

I EUGENE, July l3.--Conscriptio lon
for It's own sake. not necessarily for
war. but for national efficiency In
either peace or war. was advocated
here In the Fourth OF July address de-
liycrcd At tho University OF Oregon by
". Duncan Spaeth. who holds the chair
OF English at Princeton University,
formerly held by Ambassador Henry
Van Dyke.
Every yound American man should
be drafted for n years service. DR..
Spaeth holds. but he said the prevail
Ing idea should not be old fashioned
militarism.
Constructive social and military
training should be given these young
men," said the speaker. For q year
they should be put by the government
at tasks not of their own choosing,
nnd trained and drilled and discipline
ed. The young American should learn
to take orders and TO execute them.
Our pacIflcists would do well 10
understand the real strength Of some
OF the arguments used to bolster up
the policy Of militarism. II IN better
TO meet these than to ignore them.
The ability to shoot Is not the
main thing. even In these days Of war.
More important are the hardened
muscles. bodily endurance and the
mind trained to obey. We need these
In peace The one thing needful In
our American life is discipline. to
keep within bounds and train and
break that wild and cOltish liberty
that spells inefiiciency.
Discipline Is not slavery. Disci-
pline sets free The engine on its
track Is effective, the ditched engine
gets nowhere. We can and must or
ganIzc to become better nation and
n stronger nation
DIR. Spaeth's topic was THE New
Patriotism" Tho nineteenth century
with all It's ways and conditions had
gone forever. he declared. and we are
all facing an entirely new world.
which will never again be like the
world OF 1913.
THE time Is near" declared DIR.
Spaeth. when this nation ought.
believe. to formulate q definite policy
with regard to the European war. +
do not mean any foolishness about
going over and stopping this war
That reminds me Of the American wo-
man who saw vesuvius In eruption.
and demanded that something be
done to stop II.
But We should stand against such
a victory as each OF the European
powers is proposing for itself. And
We should prepare also to be a medi-
ating uphyphenated nation in a far
deeper sense than that. In the long
years after the actual warfare has
ceased. after the sword has been
sheathed and its wounds have healed.
there will still rankle and tester the
far deeper and moro corrupt and pois-
pnous wounds that In the last year
have been inflicted by the pen. Truly

ing Included in Model Char
ter-No Initiative

Provisions for the short ballot, the
city manager plan, the recall and the
preferential system of voting are
among the features 70 be embodied In

from which to secure suggestions or
features which the convention might
wish to embody in the charter which
II Is expected it will draw up.

dunn. He reports that the members
of the special committee are taking
notable interest in the work and that
careful attention, is being given every
detail Of the undertaking.
AT the last meeting of the special
committee" said Chairman Frear,
"the members decided to prepare a
model city charter along the. lines
deemed best not only by themselves,
but by those who have given the sub
ject study on the mainland.
In other words. we went to pre-
pare charter along ideal lines. with
a view to furnishing thoroughly up
to-date charter.afh case that one should
be desired, OF to furnish basis from
which departures could be made in
case less sweeping changes should be
desired at this time.
'The committee iaay later prepare
substitutes for various portions OF the
charter it is now drawing up. so as
to furnish alternatives to select from.
"The charter now being prepared
provides for the short ballot, the city
manager plan. the recall and the pref
erential system of voting. It does
not, however, provide for the initial
tive or referendum.
"These are the principal changes.
OF course. there are many more de-
tails to be filed in" he concluded.

TERRITORY HAS
NO FUND TO PAY
FOR INSURANCE
Treasurer viii Seek Permission
to Make Premium Payments
From Contingent Fund

When the 1915 legislature passed
the workmen's compensation bill, with
a special section making the territory
and all its political subdivisions res
ponsible under the act on an equal
basis with any private employer, it
overlooked the fact that the passage
of the act with such provision re-
quires the territory to expend many
dollars for insurance and so the legis-
lature failed to make an appropria-
ton for this Item. -
Now the territorial officials are con-
fronted with an act That compels the
territory to carry insurance against
accidents to its employees, and it has
no money with which to pay the pre-
miums. Territorial Treasurer Charles
j. Mccarthy suggests that the govern
or be petitioned for permission to
make the premium payments out of
the contingent fund, until the next
session of the legislature.
However, Col. Mccarthy, has re-
quested all heads of territorial de-
partments to meet with him in the Of
flee of the superintendent of public
works on Thursday night at 1880
o'clock to discuss the act and to make
arrangements towards getting insur-
ance and the money to pay the pre-
miums with. ........ -. ...s

or rather it volunteered" said the
treasurer today, for classification
of some of the territorial department
employees. The other heads of depart
ments are requested to do the same
thing. When that is done we can get
some sort of an estimate on what it
will cost the territory to take out
workmen's compensation insurance.
Personally | favor taking out insur-
ance as in consideration of the fact
that no appropriation was made for
this by the legislature, do not think
the territory ought to risk run of
bad luck and accidents to its employees
by carrying its own insurance"
