navy advocates say, what has
been done with all the money!
Another blighted influence on
the preparedness movement has
been the proposal to raise all of
the extra money necessary by in
creasing the tax on big incomes
and inheritances and by laying
a heavy tax OF the manufacturers
of munitions. In other words,
let the wealthy and those who are
prOfting by the war pay for the
proposed increased preparedness.
Many members who previously
opposed the idea of government
manufacture Of ships and war
munitions, have been won over,
because of the activity of the rep
resentatives of big munition max
ers in behalf of increased pre-
paredness. To take the profit
out Of war preparations is the
most fatal proposal to prepared
ness enthusiasts that any member
can make in a private conversa-
tion with him.
OF course one never knows
when the current of opinion will
start the other way, but certainly
at this time the preparedness SEN
timent flood has passed it's high
water mark here at the capitol
and is running strongly the other
way This does not mean that
there will be no preparedness
provided for by congress, but
simply that the hysteria period is
over and that probably only a
reasonably increased prepared
ness program will be adopted.
AFTER A FOUR DAYS exhibition
the Stevens County Poultry Associa-
tion concluded it's fourth annual show
in Colville last Saturday night. The
show was the best ever held here. A
fine showing of the prize winning
stock from all over the northwest was
exhibited, but the local birds kept the
majority of the prizes at home. Five
hundred dollars could not buy some
birds that were here. William Purdy
