UNIVERSAL TRAINING
PLAN BEING MADE
General Staff of Army VIII Lay Mat
tiers Before Congress After Christ
mas Recess.

WASHINGTON-A definite plan for
universal military training will be laid
before congress next month in the
shape OF a bill formulated by the gen
eral staff of the army, accompanied by
complete estimates of cost, as COM
pared to the present volunteer sys-
TEN. Major General Hugh l.. Scott,
chief of staff told the house military
committee that the work was in prog
ess and would require about a month
to complete. Chairman Dent said the
committee would be glad to see the
bill.
The prabable nature of the bill now
being drafted by a committee Of the
general staff was not disclosed by
General Scott, who also refused to es-
innate the cost Of such a system, eX-
cept to say that proportionately it
would be much less than the expense
of the volunteer method of training
troops. 1t is known, however, that
the possibility of welding into the new
project the various sections OF the
defense act dealing with industrial or
ganization for war purposes, the right
to take over and operate manufacture
ing plants, railways and other peace
time agencies, is under consideration.
Secretary Baker told the committee
recently he was undecided as between
universal military service and sys-
TEN of selective CONSUMPTION, the lat
ter plan being understood to include
the industrial as well as the military
service.

members of the national buard be-
lieved in universal service. Represen-
tative Mcclellan interrupted.

many of them believe they are not

Il think that is So" said General
Scott.
"Then, why not give this new sys-
tenn fair trial before you condemn
it?"
I'VE are giving it a fair trial and
working in good faith to get the best
results from it"
do you think we will ever get the
kind of an army we should have as
long as high officers of the regular
army refuse to bow to the mandates

Mcclellan. You are condemning the

NOTHING TO FEAR
SAYS FINANCIER
WALL STREET EDITOR BRANDS
IDEA THAT END OF WAR WILL
HURT AMERICA.

NEW YORK-"All talk of a peace
panic seems to be unwarranted and
unintelligent. If peace comes it VIII
bring a sounder prosperity than that
which has been created by war"
This is the deliberate opinion of
Theodore II. Price, editor of Com
merce and Finance, and one of the big
gest men IN Wall street.
In the dark days which succeeded
the commencement of the big war in
1914, price was one of the first to
predict that big boom would ensue
as a result of expenditure which the
conflict would entail. His prophecy
was abundantly verified by the as
founding prosperity America has en-
joyed.

happily, l am wrong and it shall be

that America has anything to fear.
Ill every tdSC inc pOSI DclluLu hlo-

continuance of the business activity
which the wars themselves had stimu

tered upon the greatest era of indus

of commerce was, in fact, made pos

our civil war the United States and

me reason Tor this seeming para

FEARS WORST FROM
PEACE PROPOSALS
Well known Authority on InternatiOn-
nj Law Doubts Sincerity and Value
of German Offer.

SALT LAKE CITY. Rueben
Clark, Jr. the Washington attorney,
well known as an authority on inter-
national law, wired his partner in this
city, P. ID. Richards, as follows, in
answer to an inquiry regarding the
probable outcome of the German pro-
posals for peace:
The outcome doubtless is primar-
lily dependent on state of allied ex-
haustion. However, unless present
proposals are merely preliminary TO
further important concessions, l be-
lieve peace improbable on Germany's
present basis, which would leave I'M

including adjustment of Prussian and
military predominance heretofore de-
clared by British government indis-
pensible to the conclusion of peace.
The prevailing view in financial cir
cles apparently considers proposals
fruitless but as responsive to a stu
alton created by the German peace
party. Personally, / am apprehen-
sive the proposals may be intended as
basis for and for purpose of influ-
enclng a neutral federation of more
ruthless prosecution of war, further
Belgian and possibly other deporta-
ions, possibly more vigorous treat

conserving food supplies for women
and children, and a revival of ex-
IRENE forms of submarine activities.

obviously one of determination"

Extra Pay GiUen to :
ShortLineE Employees

In common with all other similarly
situated employees on the Union Pa
cific system the men employed on the
Oregon Short Line, who draw less
than $500 a year will receive an ex
ira months pay for the current year.
This according to d. e. Sullivan, the
agent in this city, will affect all the
employees working in this city. No
city Friday in the form of a telegram,
originally sent to President E. e.
Calvin of the Short Line, by R. S.
Lovett, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Union Pacific system
The message reads:
"The Board of Directors of the I'm
ion Pacific at a special meeting today
authorized the payment of one months
extra pay to all employees without
any determinations of Union Pacific
Railroad company, Oregon Short Line
Railroad and Oregon, Washington
Railroad and Navigation company,
who have been in the service since
January l, 1916, and where compensa-
ton does not exceed eighteen hundred
dollars per annum. This is not a
Christmas present, but an extra pay
ment for services made because of the
most exceptional conditions which,
while largely increasing the earnings
of the company have also increased
the cost of living to the point of hard
ship upon the lower paid employees
of the company"

HIGHWAY BUDGET A
MILLION AND A HALF
Large Appropriation Asked by State
highway department Tor Roads with
Federal Appropriations

BOiSE-The state highway depart
ment has boosted the size of its re-
quest for money for roads $500 600,
and now expects to ask for an appro-
priatiOn of $1,500,000 when the legis-
nature cOnyenes. The department mad
planned on asking about $1,000 600,
but finds that sum would be insuffl-
cient to permit it to carry out its pro-
gram.
TINS brings the state budget, as pro-
posed by the departments, to approx
mately S4,OO0,OOU.
Money to be asked for by the high
way department is to be spent in the
construction of highways for which
appropriations have been made by the
federal government.
A revision of the motor vehicle tax
law will be recommended by the COM
mission to the legislature, with a view
to providing more funds for the main
tenance of state highways, and to also
do away with what the commission
terms the present injusti. IN t4.e mat
ter of the assessment OF me Ia
The commission will ask a III. assure

VI AA0NDANAACoo MllGu
funds are not available for the pay
ment of work done on roads.
A state highway maintenance fund
and a state highway construction and
improvement fund are wanted by the
commission. 1t would have the two
funds replace the present state high
way funds.
The commission asks authority in
special cases to do work on the roads
by force account where a sum not ex-
ceeding $4,000 is to be expended on a
project.
"The $1,5OO,OOO appropriation to be
asked of the legislature by the high
way department for highway work in
the state during the next biennium is
the total which it will be necessary to
provide if the state is to cooperate
with the federal government and with
the several counties in the work they
desire to do upon the roads of the
state" said f. M. Booth, state high
way engineer.
AS the department has been as
sured by officials in nearly every
county in the state that they want to
avail themselves of state aid, it is es-
timated that this will require $500. 900
or state funds in 1917 and an equal
amount in 1918. In addition to this
there will be available federal aid for
use in this state during 1917 and 1918
which, if used, will require nearly
$500, 900 more. The total which the
state should provide is therefore 81
100000 if it is to cooperate fully with
the counties and the national govern
ment.'
