accepted as such it is certain
that many of the things which
General Crozier now discloses
would have been prevented. At
any rate Congress would have
known in April that the appro-
priations which it had made near
ly a year before for the purchase
of machine guns had not been
expended and that the type of
gun to be bought had not even
been fixed; that the money ap.
propriated for the purchase Of
rifles had heen diverted to the
buying of revolvers; that the
government arsensls, which had
been relied upon to supply the
new army with rifles, were idle;
that halrsrlitting technicalities
in the departmental bureaus at
Washington were SLOW ing up the
entire industrial activities of the
country in essential war prepar-
alton, and that of the billions
which Congress was so lavishly
providing only about fifty per
cent was being used because the
administration could not decide
or plan how to utilize the enter
prise of the nation for the speed
ing up of war work.
The Secretary of War low as
responsibility for this vital
delay. thus fixing by admission
upon a prominent Uember of the
administration the blame for
nampering the conduct OF the
war which the President last
summer, in a letter to Represen-
,ative Lever, foretold would 1e-
suit from the establishment OF
,he proposed joint committee on
war expenditures. The facts
row brought to light prove that
such a committee would have
positively advanced war prepar-
atoms.

American cotton piece goods
have fallen below last years fig
ures of about $1OO,OOO," writes
our consul general at Hongkong,
Mr.. George E. Anderson. And
considerably below the 1918 fig
ures, which were nearly treble
what they are today. "Ameri-
can knitting yarns still can not
compete with the low priced Jap
anese small count yarns" contin-
ues Mr.. Anderson. Well, if we can
not compete with them in Hong
kong how can We compete with
them at home? What is to hinder
Japan from crowding US out of the
home market when the war is
over? A revenue. only tariff will
not do it. This applies to all ia
panese production of articles sim
liar to those manufactured here.
Union labor vociferously objects
when the proposition comes Up
to import Chinese or Japanese
labor, but it is only recently that
union labor declared for a re.
striction of the products of yel-
low labor. when the American
Federation, for the first time in
its history, came out uLequivo-
cally in favor of prC lection to A
merlcan industries. Who is 60
ing to apply the panacea? Mr..
Wilson, the higl-priest of free
trade? Is he to change his mind
with his vestments? Or is the
task to be entrusted to Mr.. Taus
sig, the scholiast of free trade,
whose writings in support of that
doctrine would fill five feet of IL
brary shelves in the rooms Of the
Senate Committee on the Dispos-
ition Of Useless Papers? Or are
we W nave IHdC plLllul failure AS
a legislator, Claude Kitchin, to
draft a tariff bill? If labor is
sincere it will see to it that the
Republican party drafts the next
bill. There won't be any mis-
take as to its character then, and
the Democratic patch signifying
PPM down and out" won't be in
evidence after the war as it was
the year before the war.

LEFT SUICIDE NOTE
ON ST. LOUIS LEVEE
Now Employed Near Whitewater
by FlOesch Construction Co.
rs Engineer.

Mike E. Sullivan, formerly chief
electrical engineer of the Missouri
Public Utilities Co., has returned to
Cape Girardeau County, it was learn
ed yesterday, and has been working
for the Floesch Construction Co. for
several days. He is employed in the
camp of the construction company
near Whitewater. He holds posi-
ton as electrical engineer. Although
Sullivan has been near Cape Girar-
deau for almost week, he has not as
yet been seen in the city by his friends
Sullivan gained some publicity in
December, 1915, when A. M. Tinsley,
general manager of the Missouri Pub
lie Utilities Co., by which concern ne
was employed at that time, received a
letter from Sullivan stating that he
was going to throw himself into the
river. The letter was sent from St.
The st. Louis police were asked to
make search for the Cape man. A
Louis.
note with some clothes, later identified
as those belonging to Sullivan, were
found on the levee in st. Louis. The
note also stated that Sullivan had
sought his death in the river.
On December 80, two weeks after
Sullivan had disappeared. he was
found in Chicago by a special CORE
spondent for The Tribune. He had
left st. Louis on the evening after
he had sent the suicide note to Mr..
Tinsley and had gone to Chicago. He
has been employed there since that
time.
Sullivan was one Of the most popu-
lar men of the Cape. When the news
of his supposed death reached the city,
the citizens were startled by the sud-
den death of Sullivan. He was a men,
Der of local lodge, and had been very
prominent in the lodge for many
years. His fellow lodge members were
preparing to draw up a resolution Of
coincidence when the man who was
supposed to be dead was found in Chi
cago.

TAX VALUATION
OF REAL ESTATE
TO Be INCREASED
City Assessor Huters Revis-
ing Assessments for
City.
ASSESSMENTS MADE
AT CASH VALUE OF LAND
Revision to Increase Taxation
approximately Two Thirds
of Former Value.

Complying with the new State law,
City Assessor Huters has begun 10
compile revised list of the assessed
valuation of all real estate property of
the city. Property owners are being
notified of the new taxation which
will take effect when the next pay
rient of taxes becomes due.
Under the new law the assessment
of the real estate property must be
made on. the estimate of the cash
value of the property adding about
go per cent to the present taxation.
Up to the present time the real estate
property was assessed at 40 per cent
of its estimated value
The result of the increased assessed
valuation will be an enormous increase
Of tax valuation. The present assessed
value of Cape Girardeau's property is
near 100000. The revised assess
ments will increase the assessments 20
nearly s1O,OOO,OOO.
The raising of the assessments will
naturally result in an increase of tax
es. 1t is believed, however, that the
tax rate will be reduced considerably
in order to relieve the property own
ers of an overburden of taxes. City
Assessor Huters said last night he
believed that this would be done.
The decrease of the tax rate. which
is now about 1886 on the 500 valua-
ton will be left to the City Council.
Just what the reduction will be. Mr..
Huters said, could not be estimated
until all assessments have been COM
pleted by the City Assessor 1t is be-
l.eved that the revenue of the city by
the increase of the tax valuation will
be sufficient to pay off the city in
debtedneSs in short time.
The new tax rate for the county
