CONGRESS UNHESITANT
TO Vote war BILLIONS
Enormous Sums Of Money Au.
thorized Without Protest or
Dissenting Voice.

Since war was declared on Germany
last April, congress has appropriated
more than $1,000 100000 for the army
and 81, ,6O5, ,O0OO 900 for the navy. This in.
cludes the enormous appropriation In
the recently enacted $80O0OO0,OOO
urgent deficiency bill. 1t does not,
however, include more than $2,000OO
600 Of contracts which the army and
navy have been authorized to negoti'
ate, but for which no cash has yet
been made available. BY the time con-
gress re-convenes in December, Sew
eral billions more will be needed, al
though authorities believe that with
the initial expenses met, the wars cost
In dollars and cents win not be quite
so tremendous.
Last April congress passed the army
appropriation bill carrying $273,OO0.-
900. At about the same time 1t
passed the naval appropriation bill
carrying $517,0O0,000. In June, after
the unprecedented money needs Of the
war began to be foreseen, congress
passed a deficiency bill, giving the
army $2,315.OOO.0O0, and the navy
$514,O00000. In the urgent deficiency
bill just passed, the army Is allowed
$4,352,000,000 and the navy $57S,OOO.-
900.
In the last deficiency bin a single
item Of more than $1,000 100000 was
provided for the purchase Of ord
nance and ordnance stores. This IL
an illustration Of the gigantic scale
upon which the United States is going
into the war. The measure provides
for building, construction Of works Of
semlpermanent character In France
so as to prepare for years Of warfare
II necessary.
Congress has voted all these enor-
NOUS amounts without protest or
dissenting voice. Not even a roll
call has been required for the final
passage Of the big money bills. Mem
bers, including even the pacifsts, want
the American soldiers to be the best
conditioned fighting men in the world,
and It is realized that one Of the surest
guarantees Of minimum casualty lists
Is money sufficient to equip the troops
for every emergency.
( No other legislative body in the
world has passed big war budgets
with such a willingness as the Ameri
can congress. There have been pro
tests and votes against the enormous
war expenditures even In the cowet
German reichstag.

had previously met and with whom 1
had conversed.
On the train which brought me home
from the city l talked with man OF
greater wealth, broader experience, and,
I think, more intelligence than either
of the two whose speeches have quot
ed. To him put the questions which
1 was asking for the third time that
day. "What do you consider the best
job for young man-farming?"
After a. Thoughtful pause this rich
manufacturer said: "That depends
upon what you like. There's lot Of
hard work on the farm-a lot of steady
work. However, it is healthy and an
independent life. Dwelling in steam
heated offices does not give the robust,
bodily vigor which is the farmers her.
itage. l do not advise all young men
to 90 on the farm because all do not
like the farm and hence would not make
success of it. There is room in GER
tain divisions of professional work.
For instance, transportation, freight
rates, ETC., is a phase of legal work in
which there are very few good lawyers.
Thus if you decide to study law, special
ize. Again, medicine is a crowded field
for the general practitioner, but the
doctor who specializes on certain parts
of the body has less competition. Spe-
cialize if you are to become a doctor.
Finally, circumstances may cause you to
remain in the country and there more
than anywhere else we want special
ists-in agriculture. You may 60 into
poultry-take certain kind and devote
your greatest efforts toward it. Per
haps horses are your hobby-breed pure
breds and those true to type. If in tbs
great dairying region you choose cows
as your industry, specialize in them.
Take beef cattle or take dairy cattle,
but don't try to get them both by cross
ing. You may make good at dress-up
job in the city, and if you like such
work, go after it. If not, you II find
that the specialized farmer with his
special kind of dairy cattle will yield
you fame, name and wealth to an ex-
tent not surpassed by any job on the
market.'
I think his advice came near being
the most perfect of that which I had
received that perfect day. It's worth
following.-Joseph E. Ryan, Wisconsin.

"Many of the caves, where the rooms
are limited yet the grinding bowls nu-
merous, show that they were never in
tended as residences but places of ref

for water was short, and also giving a
distant view of the approach and to
provide protection from the rear.
siSome of the engravings found may
lend a strong support to the claim of

The pictures craven on the rocks
cover an area possibly so miles square.
Some of the pictures show considerable
skill in craftsmanship, and some would
seem to depict religious rites. Most of
them, however, are pictures of animals.
Some of the animals are well drawn,
and the figures of the men all express
action. In some of the more sheltered
caves Ranger Sullivan says, there are
paintings done in red or black, usually
of some symbolic subject.

FOREST RANGER FINDS

Tucson, Ariz.-What he believes to be
emigrated to Mexico City, has been
found by Forest Ranger Don s. Sulll-
van in the Peloncilla and Animas moun-
tains, and the valley that lies between
those ranges. In this remote and wild
region in the corners of New Mexico
and Arizona on the Mexican border he
has discovered traces of condition Of
life that approached civilization, and
which ended doubtless long before Co.
lumbus arrived on this continent.
Innumerable picture writings are
found, mostly in caves where they are
protected from the elements. These
pictures as rule are craven on the
rock, but in some of the better pro-
tected places there are paintings done
in red or black. In his report to his
chief, Ranger Sullivan said:

''Well.' said my legal friend, "I

line. The profession is too crowded
and the good jobs are handed down
from father to son. Then, the average

AS SWAIN SEES IT

Alva Swain in his "Under the Capt.
tol Dome' column in the Pueblo Chief
tain gives the following account of the
legislative muddle as he sees it:
The 1918 campaign is on. Every act
of Importance at the general assembly
has something to do with that cam
paign. Every appointment made by
Governor Gunter has as its real object
the strengthening of the present ad-
ministration in order that Democracy
may again claim the support of our
people in the next campaign which is
only about fourteen months away.
Democracy, so far, has neither made
good nor failed. Governor Gunter
failed in his promise to make all ap-
pointments before Christmas day. Men
who know political history laughed
when he made the promise, they knew
it would be of impossible fulfillment.
So no one is charging that failure
against the success of the administra-
ton. Governor Gunter and the entire
Democratic administration miserably
failed in keeping Denver dry during
Stock Show week. 1t was SO wet II
would have been a disgrace to Mil
waukee during brewers convention.
The people Of the state will charge
that failure against Governor Gunter
and his associates. They may say that
it was up to the local authorities to
enforce the prohibition law. The peo-
ple know that Governor Gunter and
his associates promised to enforce all
laws, when they were running for Of
fee, and the people know that had
Governor Gunter and the other state
officials demanded that Denver be dry,
Denver would have been dry. Denver
was wet because some candidate for
the United States senate or some can
didate for governor two years from
now traded the privilege Of having
Denver wet for the support Of those
who profitcd off Of its being wet, And
the state officials did nothing to stop
the trade. Tho people will score one
against Governor Gunter and his entire
The Glenwood post., 1917-02-10

administration for not stopping that
trade.
The state legislature has scored one
for Democracy in that it is conserva-
tive. So far, not bombastic, word
flinging anarchist has shown his head
in either house. Not bill is before
either house that will create much of
a ripple op the placid sea of govern
mental legislation. 1t would appear
that there will be no fight, having for
its real object the future policy of our
industrial world. In this the admins
tration scores number one. The admin.
istration scores number two in it's ef-
forts to provide funds for the educa
tional institutions of the state. If the
mill levy bills pass, and they are likely
to pass, it will be to the cerdit of the
present administration and will cost
the Republicans thousands of votes in
the next campaign.
The administration loses in the farce
that has been carried on over the ap-
preparation for Mr.. Hubbard. Only
about five hundred dollars in ques-
tion and it has cost the state over
twenty thousand dollars to settle the
dispute. Democracy will be held re-
sponsible by the people for this legis-
lative blunder. So far the Republicans
in the legislature have been content
to follow the even tenor of their way
and let the Democrats fight it out to
suit themselves. The Republicans have
made no moves, the effects of which
would be to leave them charged with
having delayed legislation. They have
policy rope as far as they liked and to
hang themselves as often as they cared
to, and not a single finger has been
lifted by the Republicans to stop the
unwinding nor to cut them down after
they We're hanged. A rather limpjd
policy, but nevertheless policy that
will be free from criticism, even if it
is free from praise in the next cam
paign.
Barney Napier, Billy Adams and
George West in the senate together
with Boon Best in the house have the
legislature locked in the recesses Of
their political hearts. They are its
complete masters and none there be so
far, who dare deny them that honor.
Two years from now when the cam
paign opens, it will not be on Dem
ocracy's record in the legislature, but
on the personality of four gentlemen
named above. They are hard hearted,
cold blooded, stand-pat Democrats.
Will Colorado sentiment answer Aye
in approval of their record, or May
against its approval.
From Republican viewpoint there
are many things can be said which
may cause Colorado's sentiment 10
