WILL in most cases, take the preced-

themselves against all form of govern
ment by armor plate, cannon, and mu-

they can do it, and that is by taking
private profit out of war and prepare

WORK ON NEW PRISON FOR '-...

TIME; CELLS;
100000.

Work on Nevada's new prison, pre-
liminary provision for which was
made by the last legislature, has been
started, says the Reno Gazette. Not
active excavation or construction
work, but operations along the lines
provided for in the legislative act of
1915.
Plans for the prison have been
drawn and approved by the board of
prison commissioners and convicts
now are at work cutting stone to be
used in the new prison. The plans
call for four story building contain
ing 800 cells, the cells to be of con-
crete. 1t is estimated that the con-
crete and labor, ii the latter is per
formed in the main by convicts, will
cost the state approximately 100000.
1t is planned to construct the cell
house first. 1t is estimated that this
work, if done by convicts, will cost the
state about $4,000. With the cell
house constructed the completion of
the prison would follow as rapidly as
finances would permit.

Extract from Congressional Record
From speech OF c. H. Taven-
ner OF Illinois. In the House of Rep
resentatives, Wednesday, December
IS. 1915.
Although war anu preparation for
war mean an increased burden of
taxes FOR everyone, and suffering and
misery on every hand. 1t spells stu
pendous profits to very few gentle
men, but which few gentlemen are
so resourceful and WELD so much pow.
er in this country that their great
profit because of war becomes a men,
ace to peace and therefore to all man
kind.
wish to read to the House from a
weekly stock market letter of New
York stock brokerage firm az to the
extent of these profits. This is the
stock market letter of the firm OF Gil
bert & Elliott Co., of New York. l
will not read the full circular but only
the headlines. 1t is dated August rs.
1915. 1t says:
Winchester arms up 1000 points,
Colt arms up 100 points, Electric boat
up 100 points, Canadian explosives up
so points, Du Pont declares stock di-
vidends of 200 percent"
This is the stock market report
Now, Bethlehem Steel stock at the
outbreak of the war could have been
bought for $40 and as low as $50
Yesterday Bethlehem Steel stock
sold for S474. In other words, if you
had an investment of $40 in share
of Bethlehem Steel at the beginning
of the war, your profit because of wal
would have been $434. BY this We
may obtain some idea as to the stag
gering profits that accrued to the
Wall street war trust magnates whC
owned millions and millions of dollar:
worth of munition stocks.
II is not to the financial interest o

should the United States become in
volved in the European war this stool
would be worth even double its pres
ent value, and it held out the hop
that there was a pretty good chanc
of the United States becoming in

Standardization OF the manufacture
of munitions would undoubtedly have
prevented the present strained rela-
tons with Germany. The cause of
the strained relations is that Germany
is sinking ships. Germany has been
sinking ships principally TO prevent
American-made ammunition from
reaching her enemies. Thus, in order
that a comparatively few may make
private profit, the peace of 100000, 900
is placed in jeopardy.
1t is to the interest of only the few
to leave profit in war and preparation
for war. while it is to the interest of
the entire earth's population to take
1t out.
