R. N. ANDERSON.
OF His Home Newspaper
The Beloit Daily CaII-An indie
pendent EeWspaper,

R. N. Anderson IS probably as well
known in this district as any man In it,
and especially so in Beloit and Mitchell
county. He was born in the city of Be
lott, and right here he has grown into
manhood and into one of the leading at
tOrneys of the state. Not only does he
maintain a beautiful city home and law
office, but he owns farm and is inter
ested IN pure bred stock breeding and
maintains an extra fine herd of Short
horn cattle on his farm.
Mr.. Anderson has always been active
in the upbuilding and progress of his
home town, county and state and, re-
CARELESS of who gets into the race or
who receives the nomination at the 1916
primaries, there will be no more thor
oughly competent candidate in the race
than R. NJ Anderson. His executive
ability and natural leadership among
men is shown more plainly in the
various organizations which he heads
in one capacity or another, and especial
~ so in the automobile highways and
good roads movements, which are now
so common, and of which the Sunhower
Trail is among the first. Mr.. Anderson
is the originator of this trail and is
president of the association.
The Daily Call, as ever, viii remain
strictly neutral in the political fight in
which Mr.. Anderson will take a part
and will give every candidate fair and
impartial chance to lay his claims be-
fore its readers. This notice of Mr..
Anderson's candidacy is given gladly
and freely as a news item, IN justice to
! Beloit citizen, as q courtesy OF which
| he is so well deserving, and regardless
| of what party he belongs to, will extend
the same courtesy to any candidate that
we know as well as we do Max Ander-
son.-The Beloit Daily Call, December
! %, 1914.
ANDERSON ABREAST THE BEST THOUGHT
OF THE TIME.
The Beloit Gazette. In another part
/ of this issue viii be found an interview
given to the Ellsworth Reporter by R.
/ NJ. Anderson, candidate for the Repub-
/ lican nomination for Congress in this
district. in which Mr. Anderson makes
public the platform of principles upon
which he will ask for the nomination.
/ 1t viii be particularly pleasing to the
/ friends of Mr.. Anderson to learn that
I he has taken an advanced stand IN favor
( of making the Republican party re-
sponsive to the best sentiment Of the
( times. > He favors making the party
the vehicle whereby the majority of the
party can effect results instead of the
/ tool of q few selfish politicians in each
community. The old days and the old
practices are gone and higher ideals are
I the order of the day. The recognition
of this fact by Mr. Anderson shows
that he is abreast with the best thought
of the time. IF he cannot win the nom
nation under such conditions, he viii
probably not care to win II at all for it
would be but an empty honor. adv.

SAFEGUARDING
SHIPS FROM ATTACK

BERLIN, Aug. H. delayed) The
principal improvement in the larger
Zeppelns, in addition to their greater
carrying capacity. is their increased
proof against the effects OF shell fire
by anti-aircraft guns, according to a
naval officer who commanded a SUI
per-zeppelin in recent attack on
points in England. The officer said
that the measures taken by the Brit
ish to protect themselves against air
craft raids had improved recently UNI
der a more effective use of search
lights.
The detectives Of air raiding craft
the officer added, were only military
establishments, munitions works and
camps He admitted that at the great
elevations at which the zeppelins fly
accurate aim was difficult, but thai
experience was showing that the
bombs dropped by the airships gen.
orally reached their marks. Bombs OF
500 pounds dropped on a large foun-
dry. the officer continued, caused the
collapse Of all the walls OF the build.
ing, while FIRE bombs dropped at an
other place. had set whole buildings
afire. II was the opinion of this Of
ficer that while flying at high alti
tude zeppelins were most difficult tC
combat. especially those Of the new
type.
Questioned concerning the posslbil
ity Of a super-Zeppelin crossing from
Germany to the United States, the Of
fcer said that such a feat was per
fectly feasible when atmospheric con
ditious we're not wholly unfavorable
Under bad weather conditions a draw
hack would be that the craft proba
bly, would be compelled to sail for ;
time with the wind. The officer salt
the zeppelins had now reached suci
state of perfection that travelling
in them was perfectly safe.

NAVY MUST WAIT
OR Taxes CO UP
II Ships Are Built This
Year $245,OOO,OOO Levy
Must be Made
M'ADOO'S FIGURES
SHOW BIG DEFICIT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Either the
Administration is holding off until ar
ter election before imposing s245,OOO,-
600 Of taxes in addition to those now
being considered by Congress. or it
has 10 intention of laying the keels
of the ships just authorized until az
ter June So 1917, if Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo's own figures sre 10
be believed.
The huge income, inheritance and
other special taxes proposed by the
Administration will fall far short Of
meeting the Governments expendi-
lures during the present fiscal year.
Even when the S130000,000 bond is
sue Is counted in. a deficit OF about
S245.000.000 must be met in some
way prior to June 80. 1917. This is
clearly shown by comparing present
hgures with Secretary McAdoo's state
ment TO the House Ways and Means
Committee two months ago.
The only escape from the POSSIBLE
fly Of there being no money in the
Treasury while the Government has
more than s1O0,000.000 floating debt
lies in a contingency which no friend
Of the Administration will admit is
possible delaying the construction
OF the the new ships authorized for
the navy until after the end of the
present fiscal year There is n pro-
vision In The naval bill now awaiting
the Presidents signature that con-
tracts for the ships must be let with
In six months after the bill becomes
a law, whether The ships be built in
private or government yards.
Hope Republicans Are Right.
Friends Of preparedness are hoping
that the Republicans who have been
studying this question are right In
their belief that the Administration is
waiting until after election TO levy
even heavier taxes which 4 does not
impose at present for fear O. political
consequences.
before the House Ways and Means
Committee Mr. McAdoo, just prior to
the passage OF the preparedness pro-
gram, stated that II was necessary
to raise $3.50. 900 by new forms of
taxation. At that time Mr.. McAd"o

Mr.. McAdoo estimated that the ad

uring on an increase in preparedness

Mr.. McAdoo's figures is accurate.
Deducting S2O5 100000 which the
pending revenue bill is expected 10

Adoo's figures would indicate will
have to be raised. leaves a balance OF
S245. 900. 900 for the raising OF which
no step has been taken.
Mr.. McAdoos figures submitted to
the WAYS and Means Committee indi"
Gated that the balance in the general
fund. exclusive Of dishursng officers
credits. probably would be S13500,-
600 al the close Of the present fiscal
year. June 30. 1917. This indicated
that Mr.. McAdoo figured as closely as
he dared in estimating the amount to
be raised in addition. The heavy cost
Of the Mexican expedition and calling
the troops to the border is not figured
against Mr.. McAdoo's calculations
because it is proposed to take care Of
these expenses entirely by bond is
sue.
II must be understood that Mr. Nc
Adoo furnished his figures to the conf

REGARD ADDRESS
AS SIGNIFICANT
Japanese Attach Much Importance to
Speech Made at inaugural Meet.
ing by Baron katO.

kiota, Japan, May -(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press What
many japanese people regard as an
important political address was deliv-
cred yesterday by Baron Takaaki Kato,
former minister of foreign affairs, and
leader of the government Doshikai
party, at the inaugural meeting of the
klota branch of his party Abiding
to Japan's position in the present war,
Baron kato declared that in his opin-
ion the Anglo-Japanese alliance must
remain the main pillar of the nation 5
diplomacy
The speaker said that japan would
gain a reasonable compensation in re-
turn for the part she has played in the
war, but he wished to emphasize that
Japan's position was different from
that of her allies in Europe, inasmucn
as Japans activities have been re-
stricted to the orient. The statesman
warned his compatriots that should
they expect too much from the peace
conference they would be -disap-
pointed.
Turning his attention to the recent
attacks on the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance, Baron kato expressed his regrets
that unfriendly comments should have
been made. 1t was certain, he said.
that they were confined to politicians
and lay academicians What the
scholars voiced was the more danger
Gus, he declared, because although
these men may not know much about
practical diplomacy, the masses of the
people are likely to be misled by their
scholastic attachments and believe
they are right. The ex-minister added:
1t would be most regrettable if our
people are led to any erroneous con-
ception of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
for | regard it as the main pillar of
our diplomacy"
Baron Kato said he understood that
the critics base their objection to the
alliance on the attitude Of British Off
Gals and merchants in China who
were alleged to be hindering Japanese
undertakings in that country and on
their belief that the formation of an
alliance with Russia would render the
past with Great Britain useless. II
was true he thought, that some Brit
ish merchants in China have continu.
ally slandered Japan and her people,
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-06-26

but he was convinced that these Eng
lishmen did not represent Great Brit
ain.
AS for the alliance with Russia.
Baron kato declared it the height of
folly to imagine that it could be
formed and maintained independently
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance He,
for one, would welcome an alliance
with Russia, he said, but he was con-
WINGED that it could be made only on
the strength of the pact with Great
Britain and that it must be supple
mentary to that alliance
When the peace conference is held
the Anglo-Japanese alliance must be
the basis of our policy, and Japan
must of course cooperate with Russia
and France" Baron kato concluded
If Japan goes astray from this policy
her position will become very difficult
1t is most important that our people
should recognize the delicate diplo-
matte relationship and endeavor to
smooth the way that lies before us for
generations to come"
Because of Baron kato's influence
among the men who direct the Japan
of today his public utterances are re-
garded by many of his compatriots
as more or less representing official
opinion.
