WHAT TO ARRA|GN?
Democratic Party May Laugh al
Republican Threat.
Splendid Record Made by the Admin
istration Well Able to Stand Any
Assault Of the DIsgrun-
tied Opposition.

Republican leaders serve notice that
the next G. o. p. convention is going
TO "arraign" the Wilson administra-
ton in the most drastic fashion. Natu-
raj, IL true, but what for?
For the revision which gave the
country the first honest tariff IT has
known in the last half century?
For the banking and currency act
which has abolished panics. stabilized
business. taken money from Wall
street and sent IL back to be used on
farms and in workshops, and even
stood the strain OF tn world war?
For refusing to recognize Huerta
and help that murderous dictator fas-
ten his blood-stained rule on Mexico?
For winning back the confidence of
the Latin-American peoples who had
been alarmed by Roobevelt's taking
Panama."
For maintaining peace, with honor.
in the midst of world strife?
For the first clear-cTt program for
national defense ever presented to
congress by an American president in
time of peace?
For the opening OF Alaska?
For prosperity?
Are these the counts in the coming
Indictment? 1t would seem so. At
least. the country knows nothing else
that can be alleged against the Will
son administration. But when the in
spired scriveners of the Republican
party turn loose on these awful crimes,
what an arraignment it will be-

no doubt exists in the minds OF the
members that a federal aid law soon
will be passed, although members did
not agree upon any particular plan or
bill to be presented to congress.
Federal aid is justified not only be.
cause past methods, including state
participation in road building, have
proved inadequate, but because the &C.
tivity of the government would EN-.
phasize the importance of better roads,
establish higher standards, and to
some extent shift the burden of ex.
pense from the rural resident to the
city dweller.
Although under federal aid city resi-.

the money to be expended, and all
would be spent on rural roads outside

opposition has been heard 20 it on

Race Already Won.

The Republicans will hold their ma
tional convention a week ahead of
the Democrats. They think that by
getting the first start they will gain
an advantage in the running. That
might be some advantage If they had
anything better than quarter horses to
enter the running. but as it is they
have yet to bring forward a fine-blood-
ed racer like the one the Democrats
will enter. It's cinch that the Demo
cratic candidate will be looking back

before the first quarter-pole has been

REJECT PREPAREDNESS
---FACE CONSCRIPTON
VIEW OF SECRETARY

Washington, Jan. 6.-The American
people must adopt voluntary military
training or face conscription, as Eng
land now does, Secretary of War Gar
rison warned today in opening the army
preparedness hearing before the house
military committee.
He declared large standing army
is not only undesirable, but also cut
terly futile" while he termed reliance
on the militia as "utterly unwarrant
cd and based on an "unstable founda
ton" Tis continental army plan, he
held to be the only feasible alternative
if compulsory training and conscrip
tion are to be avoided.
"Tf you adopt system based on vol
untary action, as is the continental
army plan, and that fails, then policies
based on universal service or some form
of compulsory service will be enacted
as the only remaining remedy" he de
clared.
Thereupon he read long statement
outlining the administration army pre-
paredness program, indicating an in
crease Of the standing army to 100000
men. Creation Of continental army of
100000 volunteers trained portion of
the year for several years, increase of
the nation . munition supplies, and
strengthening Of coast Notifications.
Measures Must Be Taken.
"The people," he said, are insist
ing that such proper measures for ma
tional defense shall be taken. The ma.
tion S integrity its very existence may
depend upon what is done at this time.
People have passed beyond the point Of
requiring further demate or reasons for
such action.
"We may not relieve our problem by
either regular standing army or by
the militia"
Concerning the idea Of invoking the
Swiss or Australian system Of universal
training, the secretary commented:
"Neither is believed to be practica-
BILE at this time. The national govern.
ment has no jurisdiction over the public
school systems Of the states, and hence
q constitutional amendment would be
required to introduce such program.
IL is not believed that the
people have decided that compulsory
service will be necessary.
Present Force Inadequate.
"Our present military force Is to.
tally inadequate to our responsibilities.
The chaos which crisis always pro-
duces makes IL certain that several
months would intervene after the out.
break Of war, before any considerable
number Of volunteers would be ready.
"There is disposition among some
persons TO feel that we are now facing
a crisis. This is not the proper view, but
there is common agreement that we
should have half n million men subject
TO instant call"
He pointed out that Il would be both
impossible and enormously expensive to
maintain standing army Of that mum.
Der, particularly inasmuch as present
accommodations could only care for So.
