The house vote was 279 to SO in
favor of the presidents and the
war colleges plan to raise at once
an army Of 0,000-for service
at some future date in Europe If
needed.
Miss Rankin Votes mo"
Miss jeanette Rankin, first
woman to hold seat in congress,
voted against CONSUMPTION.
She cast her vote without COM
ment,
The house vote was on the Kahn
amendment to the army bin as re-
ported by Chairman Dents mill
bssry committee.
The Dent bill authorizes the
president to first try raising an
army In the old-fashioned way, by
the volunteer system.
Kahn's amendment turned the
bill into what President Wilson
and his war heads wanted--a
straight-out and out selective con-
scription method.
Differ on Age Limit
The senate bill is virtually the
same as submitted by the army
war college. The house bill, as
amended, the amendment being
acceptable to the war department,
makes men from 21 to 40, eligible
to service. The senate bill ages
are from 10 to rs.
1t probably will take a COM
! pro m ico ppp poropoa batuann bn,,o
and senate committees to settle
the QUESTION of age limits of men
eligible to service. The result
probably will lie midway between
the two sets of figures.
The war department is ready
the moment the bill is written in
the statutes to begin the great
work of modelling the country's
military man-power.
Never a Doubt.
There was never a doubt of
the vote after Representative
Saunders, Of Virginia, in the
speakers chair as chairman of
the committee of the whole, an
nounced a vote would be taken
on the Kahn amendment and ask
ed for the ayes.
A tremendous shout arose.
A somewhat weaker shout greet
ed the demand for the noes"
Chairman Dent asked for tell
ers-the nearest to a roll call
vote that can be obtained in a ses.
sion of the committee of the
whole state of the union"
A mob swirling and surging
that looked as II 1t included ev.
cry congressman and their clerks
arose and Joined in a crush al
the front Of the chamber, ready
to walk between Chairman Dent
and Representative Kahn, the tell.
ers, up the center aisle of the
house to show they were for the
amendment.
When the record vote does
come, many members predicted
that many of the 9S who voted
against the draft plan will have
switched, thereby making the vote
against the volunteer plan ever
greater than that recorded while
the body was acting in commit
tee of the whole.
Cheer Wildly.
The house cheered wildly al
the affirmative vote was announc'
led. when to the surprise of mem
Ibers, subsequent announcement Of
the negative vote showed but 81
for the volunteer plan, the cheer
= fng and stamping was deafening
! There was no record vote. Tha
: will come later. The house, wheI
the vote was taken, was in com
3 mittee of the whole.
~ Speaker Clark, firm to the last
s voted for the volunteer plan aloni
with Miss Jeanette Rankin.

COUNTS

Real action! County officials have got
The tideflats railway project MOVING. Just
as soon as q contract can be let actual con-
struction will begin The legal and financial
difficulties have been swept aside.
Technical hindrances that in peace times
might have blocked the project indefinitely
were, considering the emergency rightfully
over1idden.
In accordance with The Times advice, the
commissioners refused to fuss too much over
details and bubbles. They decided to apply
the money available to the need that was
apparent. Consequently, Tacoma's tideflats
are soon going to hum.
Now let's put the same aggressive spirit
into our other emergency problems. Let's
organize war market and move the clocks
ahead. Not waste lot of loose converse
ton on the ways and means. Just GET
ACTION.

NOT so BAD AS IT NIGHT BE

Representative citizens of Carbondale
visited the county commissioners this
week voluntarily offered to raise $500
in Carbondale to help out on the ex-
pense of raising the Satank bridge and
grading the approaches. They were not
asked to "come across' as a certain
newspaper article states. Neither was
this work refused. They were told by
the commissioners that the bridge
should be raised and that the county
intended to raise it, but that there
were not sufficient funds available for
this year Then it was that the vol.
untarv offer was made and now the
work will be done just as soon as pos
sible.
In discussing the matter Mr.. Newton
says they have road in the Roam
creek country where he lives that was
was built entirely by donations from
the residents of that vicinity, the coun.
ty being to no expense except to make
the survey.
Mr. Coulter says that in his neigh
borhood fourteen men contributed $500
as against some barbed wire to fence
a right of way, but the road was built.
They felt that the county would build
build the road as soon as possible but
they did not want to wait until the
county had the money and they there
fore volunteered to stand the expense
themselves, and they have no regrets.
Just as soon as Mr. Campbell can be
spared from the steel bridge he Is con-
structing at Grubb's just above Car
bondale, the work of raising the satank
bridge will proceed. thus giving Car
bondale two much needed improvements
on the public roads.

The first real exception to the iron
bound an5i-pass section OF the Colorado
public utilities law has been, allowed
by the state public utilities commission
to enable the state war council and
ways and means committee to further
the work of increasing the food p,o-
duction of this state. Under its inter
pretation of the clause in the act which
authorizes the commission to make tx
ceptions to the anti-pass provision il
event, among other things, Of "calami-
tous visitatlon,' the commission will
allow the railroads to issue free trans-
portation to agents and other repre-
sentatives of the war council and ways
and means committee when such repre-
sentatives are actually engaged in par-
suits for which the council and con-.
mittee have been organized. The com
mission, however, will pass on each
individual application in order that NO
misuse may be made of the privilege.
