Rock Islands police department will

employed in removing patients to the
hospital when no emergency exists,
and the new Ford car, recently pur-
chased, for the bulk of the patrol calls.
The old Ford car is being remod-
eled at Klockau's garage. 1t is being
converted into small ambulance. The
front seat is left on the car, but the
rear of the body Of the auto has been
removed and an ambulance compart-
ment is being placed on the chassis.
Need for a lighter ambulance has
been felt for long time, particularly
to answer sick calls. The heavy am
bulance-patrol is expensive to operate.
Authorities desired to secure a third
automobile and when the new Ford
car was purchased it was bought with
a view to replace the other light car
on making patrol calls. This made
possible the remodeling Of the other
Ford.

Rock Island District Congressman Ex-

Erroneous Impressions.

Washington, Feb. 10.--The &C.
ton of Representative Clyde II.
Tayenner In supporting the prop
osition for battleship building
equipment in the government
yards at San Francisco and New
York took the wind out of the sails
of some Of those who would at
tempt to make 1t appear that Tav.

Il am not fighting preparedness
said Tavenner. explaining his posi-
ton, but, on the contrary, am stand
ing for the kind of preparedness that
the American people are for.
Il voted for the battleship building
equipment for the New York and San
Francisco navy yards because it is a
step toward government manufacture
Of battleships-the very thing l have
been fighting for for years. l am try
ing to show my colleagues from the
east and the far west that l am for
government manufacture as princi-
pie, not only in my own district, but
in the navy yards far removed from
my district as well.
There Is one preparedness pro-
gram that l will not support, no mat
ter how much my motive may be mis-
construed will not support the Wall
street preparedness program.
That program is as follows: First,
staggering increases in the army and
navy appropriations; second, silence
on the subject of government manu-
facture of munitions (ths silence
meaning that Wall street will be per-
fectly satisfied to permit the fat ar
NOR, munitions and battleship con-
tracts TO go to the Wall street con-
trolled war trust as heretofore), and,
third, raise the money to meet the in
creased expenditures by leyying tax
on sugar, gasoline, and through spe-
cial stamp taxes.
That is the program will not sup
port. II the army and navy bills are
loaded to the guards with pork for the
war trust magnates, as they have been
heretofore, Twill not support them.
What People Desire.
The preparedness program that the
American people desire from congress
is as follows: Wherever there are
proven weak spots in the army
and navy that need strengthening,
strengthen them. More mines, sub
marines, airships, etc, can be added.
Compulsory military training Will not
be tolerated Government manufacture
Of at least 30 per cent of the NUM-
lions, armor, battleships, etc, will as
sure the people that they will get a
dollars worth Of defense for every
dollar appropriated. The amount Of
the increased appropriations should
be raised by an income, inheritance or
munitions tax. l will not support any
revenue bill that does not provide for
one or all Of these methods of raising
the cost Of preparedness.
Whenever my constituents receive
the report I have voted against any
preparedness measures they can be
sure it was because the measures in
question were more in the interest of
special privilege than in the interest
