WASTE EQUAL TO COST
Of ARMAMENT

History will record how under the
Wilson administration the democrats
captained by southerners, and some
republican camp followers, rallied
round the pork barrel' in veri
table orgy of expenditure of the public
funds.
President Wilson did nothing to de
ter his rapacious followers, but sign
ed all of the pork barrel bills.
History also will record that tho
democratic pork barrel" brigade il
congress led the fight against adequ
ate defense, defeated the larger arm,
proposals and until the llth hour ef
fectually blocked the greater navy
program. Yet in the 3 l-2 years
since the democats obtained contro.
of both houses of congress, they vot
ed~enough public money into the
pork barrel to provide the United
States with navy almost as large as
England's or to put 100000 men il
the field.
In opposition to national defense
the president. until the last minut,
was with the pork barrel" patriots
Not until he deserted them, after the
national conventions last summer
was it possible to rout the opposition
to the navy bill in the house.
The democratic congress in 3 L.
years has dispensed pork" to al
amount that nearly would have pait
for the national defense program re
Gently adopted. Here is the pork
distribution.
Rivers and harbors, $o3,000,000.
Road building $S5000,000.
Flood control, S50000,O00.
Ship purchase venture, $50,000,0O0.
Nitrate plant, $20,000,O00.
Thirty thousand new jobs $44,000'000
Miscellaneous, $l5,000,000.
Total, $357,000000.
The amount would have been larg
er had not few courageous republi~
cans succeeded in holding down the
appropriations, notably for rivers and
harbors, by ceaseless fighting, includ-
ing fillibustering for weeks at time
There were l2l democrats in the
house who voted for the rivers and
harbors pork barrel, but voted against
either an adequate army or an adequ-
ate navy, or both, the majority of them
representing southern districts. Here

SENATOR PTTMAN CON7RAD|CTED
BY HIS FORMER STATEMENTS

Senator Pittman, according to the
Congressional Record, cannot be re
garded as safe and sane apostl
of land development He is no NOR,
consistent than Woodrow Wilson for
he is subject to the most sudden tenn
pera.nental changes. To paraphras,
an old English axiom 'Fickle in ev
-rything else Pittman has beep faith
a III one thing only-his love OF
al se". In advocating the passage
of the senate bill covering the 7,000,-
600 acre land grab Senator Pittman
Po..~ III defiance of the bureau OF
cultural, industry and publicity
iahiishcd by the legislature at the
suggestion of Governor Oddie which
conducted nation wide publicity
campaign in advertising the resourc
es of Nevada. A glance at the record
will disclose how the versatile senator
from Nevada got his wires crossed
and how he failed disentangle them
to avoid fireworks.
On March p, 1913 in contendng
for free wool Mr.. Pittman said in
describing Nevada is destined to be
great agricultural State Within its
borders are 70,285, ,440 acres of land.
100000 acres of which are of the
most fertile soil, capable of raising
anything in a temperate or semi.
tropical zone. will admit that, but
few years ago, vast areas were con-
sidered by our own people to be prac-
tically worthless by reason of the
lack OF water, that today, are rails
ing magnificent crops under the
stimulus OF irrigation. But a few
years ago the water supply in the
State was considered as limited to
the few streams and springs within
its borders, but today we have under
way great governmental irrigation
projects that will bring under culti-
vation 1,232l42 acres OF that land
which in the past has been referred
to as a barren waste. 1t has beer
! discovered that all our valleys arc
| underlaid with running water, il
many instances within a few feet from
the surface, in fact, our great valleys
are known to be river channels filleG
with rich soil that has come down
from the mountains through the ages
In addition to this water supply
available artesian water has been
discovered in every portion of the
State and there is every reason to
believe that land that is not subject
to irrigation by means of irrigation
projects and pumping wells, will re-
ceive an ample supply from artesian
sources"
On January 81, 1916, in urging the
passage of Senate Bill 2520 segregat-
ing 100000 acres from the public
domain Sentor Pittman had a change
of heart for he found that the very
same land was worthless for he said:
THE State of Nevada unfortunate
ly has a very limited quantity of wa
ter. The best land of the State has
been selected heretofore. In fact
as | had occasion once before to state
to this body, most of the land in the
State at the present time is only valu
able for grazing purposes.

The Worlds Anxiety.

Some thousands of men are dying daily along the battle fronts of
Europe and Asia, some thousands of women's hearts are breaking
daily behind the battle lines, some thousands of children are going to
bed supperless in the homes made desdate by the mighty war, and
the shadow of the black throne N which Despair sits draws its pail
over all those lands, from palace to the low peasants shed. Indeed
that shadow fills the world and the hearts of men are heavy with it
everywhere.
Each power is accusing the others for the responsibility of the
long drawn-out mighty tragedy, but either Russia or Austria or Ger.
many or Great Britain might have prevented it. Behind it all there
was a commercial lust, a lust for power, a land lust, the envy and
jealousy of rulers, and the ancient hates that for years had been urg-
ing it on.
The wal has been raging now for nearly seventeen months: In
poetry and prose gifted writer's will be trying in vain for a hundred
years to come to depict it's unspeakable horrors, every means of ds.
truction has been resorted to, but if any one of the powers engaged
can point to any real advantage thus far gained, the outside. world
cannot. see il.
Their cities ar filled with cripples; their multiplied hospitals
will their wounded and dying; their asylums filled with IN en whose
minds have been shattered by its horrors; their future for generations
to ONE Will be but a struggle under an insurmountabe debt.
why do they not in unison call a halt? HAS judgement fled tn
british beasts" and have men lost their reason?"
1t surely looks that way. The instruments of death have all
been tred so "a rim vain; is it not time for reason to resume it's swsvf
Nothing has thus far been appealed to except what the enrsged wild
beast appeals to! Is that the ouly remedy left now, two thousand
years after the uplifting of the ross?-Goodwin Weekly.

The Habit OF Writing Notes.

Well, President Wilson is again writing notes after cutting short
ibis honeymoon. We we're in hopes that his bride would take his
mind of of that frivolous habit. When We we're kids in school we
used to get = for writing notes, and it seems that Prof Wilson
must have encouraged the kabt, # else got into it, while a teacher.
Anyway, it was emba rrassing to be caught writing notes in school
and it seems to be no better for the American people to have their
dear professor do the same embarrassing tricks.

Sir Richard Owen during one of his
sojourns in Egypt. The great natural.
list was seated in the shade on the ve-
randa at Sheppeard's hotel when the
inevitable snake charmer came to him
and produced from his bag lively
specimen of the horned asp-the dead
ly cerastes. The professor gazed and,
nothing daunted stopped and plucked
the horns from the head of the reptile
wriggling at his feet, remarking to a
bystander that the man would prob
ably think twice before trying to palm
off upon any one else harmless snake
as a cerasteS by the aid of couple Of
fish bones. With anybody else the
charmer would probably have succeed
ed. He had tried it on the wrong man.
