Going to School With
Congress

TINE Tillman bill, which provides for tho
l. expenditure of 100000 for gov
ernment-owned armor factory. has been
reported 10 the house. This bill has been
the occasion OF one OF the most exciting
educational" campaigns ever wagod in
Washington. The Bethlehem Steel com
pany has been especially solicitous that
congress should be educated and has
contributed considerable literature 10 that
end
The second Of series Of statements
TO the Members OF Congress COM
ments on the company's offer 10 reduce
the price OF steel TO the government from
$425 ton present price, to SS9S ton,
for a period OF five years.
And II this proposition is not satisfac-
tory. the company offers to confer. under
certain conditions, with the secretary OF
the navy. and to guarantee to manufac-
. ture armor at a price which will be itself
quite as low as the lowest price AT which
the government could possibly make H.
I'VE make the foregoing proposition,
rather than have our plan, rendered use

I'VE have Invested over 81. ooo. 900 In that
plant. az lnventorled today, not taking into
account large sums-ecrtainiy s2,ooo,ooo-
expended for plant and equipment sban-
doned because Of becoming obsolete.
"our arror plant 10 useless for any other
purpose. The United states 10 our only
customer. and n that customer 10 lost the
plant becomes vsiueless"
Stopping here. some OF us might con-
olude that the government. by building
is own arnor plant. would completely
destroy one OF the country's great in
dustries And that is exactly what the
armor makers want the public 10 believe.
But the public is not so gullible.
Seeking more light on this subject we
found il in the very words OF Sehwab
himself Speaking TO the stockholders OF
the Bethlehem Steel company recently.
Sehwab said. according TO an Eastern ex-
change:
The Bethlehem company mas Invested
some 81 100000 IN an arnor plant should
government plant be built. that investment
would be practically vaivelcas OF course.
this investment 10 only about per cent OF
Gus properties. ard tho total arnor bus-
ness 10 less than per cent Of the annual
eross turnover.
Tho integrity Of the corporation does not
depend upon arrnor manufacture"
Persons who have become excited
about the destruction OF private business
interests due 10 government ownership
OF an armor plate plant would better
read Schwabs statement again. There's
enlightenment in il which should not be
confined TO Bethlehem stockholders alone.

Initiative No. 19-A Mistake

ID EWARE of your friends. You can
- usually take care of your enemies.
How well this applies 10 the nonparti-
san movement in this state.
Enemies of nonpartisansinp could do
il little harm. Ii remained for its alleged
friends. the trainers of Initiative Bill No.
10 TO do the harm.
Initiative Bill No. 10 was rushed 10
Olympia without having had any public
discussion. II is designated by its franz
ers as a nonpartisan bill That is
misnomer.
II is a bill covering a multitude OF
things and nonpartisanship is but a drop
in the bucket in this conglomeration OF
words, words, words massed into this
measure The bill covers 20 typcwrit-
ten sheets and contains thousands OF
words
A nonpartisanship bil-plain and sim
pie--is what is needed. Short. and to
the point
1t should have nothing else in the bill.
II is a serious. fatal mistake TO inject into
nonpartisanship first, second and third
choice method of voting. Ii Is not fair
to nonpartisanship TO saddle il down with
several other debatable matters.
II the trainers of Initiative Bill No. 10
are truly DESTROYS of getting nonpartisan-
ship in this state-and il is the most
important issue in this state, capable OF
producing more substantial good than
any other measure now pending-then
they should cease further circulation OF

at once.
II the sponsors Of No. 10 are willing
to sacrifice nonpartisanship for their own
vanity. then it is up TO others to file
new bill
