burned homestead at Tompkins Cor

days work he had found S57 coins OF
various kinds, but all OF gold. 1t de-

who lost his life when the homestead

PORK BARREL VS.. NATIONAL De
FENSES.

More is paid annually by the Unit
ed States in pensions than TO the sup
port Of the army. Appropriations for
the support Of old soldiers and their
widows in 1914 hit the high water
mark of $4,000 .0aA. On this list
are many WHO are not deserving, who
never smelt powder. and among them
also are many who received a dishon-
orable discharge. Contrast with this
the sum of S9i,26s,145.5l spent for
the support of the army and si40,IlS,,
4S4.53 for the naval service. The
reason for this is that the pension
ring at Washington, the strongest
lobby there. has more power than
those who are seeking to fortity this
, nation in case il should be necessary
to defend her national honor.
No one grudses the money paid
| to dependent soldiers. but MANI are
| drawing pensions who do not need
the none but take il just because
the other fellow is getting his.
The pork barrel appropriations:
within the last five years would have
been sufficient to put our national de
Tense upon an equal footing with any
in the world. Now. as possible
trouble faces us. we are as bad OF
as China when il comes TO a standins
army and little better than some OF
the second class nations when Il
comes to the efficiency of our navy
At the recent maneuvers in New York
bay. il was discovered that thirteen
submarines could not participate be,
cause they were not in running order,
Since 1909 there has been an out,
rageous increase in jerk barrel ap
appropriations are considered. III
that year there was appropriated TO!
support of the navy l22, 662,4S5.47;
for the army. $s5,SS2,241.61, and or
forts and Notifications, S9,3l6,745.
The pension roll that year amount
ed 10 sl6S,N53,0 600; rivers and har
bors, slS,O92,945.
Comparing the figures dowr
through the various years until 1871
and 1915, it is found that the arm.
and navy appropriations have remain
ed practically constant, while the so
called pork barrel grabs have increas
ed in alarming proportions.
In 1910, the appropriation for river;
and harbors jumped to $50 o0, 900.
almost doubled in 1911 and in 1914 i
reached the record Of S5I,llS,sS9.S(
or more than half what was spen
upon the support of the army.
The figures are highly significant
Private pension bills and special re
lief measures are sapping the fedora
treasury and make almost impossibl
sufficient appropriations for Il ne
tional defenses. When the Spanish
American veterans succeed in lant
ing on the pension rolls, the proole-
viii be more difficult.
Undoubtedly the European var wi
cause a decided revision in the Ia
tionai budget
Enough can be Topped off the per
sion and rivers and harbors apprt

ton to defend itself if necessit
arises.
