FIGHT 1T OUT

IN n the same day publicity
VI is given to the pope's eff
forts in behalf of peace
on a basis thought to be favor
ed by the kaiser the United
States announces the sending
of 10000 more soldiers to
France, China declares war on
Germany and Austria while at
Washington our officials dis
cuSs the expenditure of IA bill
lion dollars for war purposes
by our government during the
coming year.
Thus is the answer given
once more on the subject of a
German directed peace. Nei-
ther the United States nor any
of the allies can afford to quit
the wAr until they have at
tanned their end and their
prime purpose is the overthrow
of the German military sys-
tenn. The kaiser has express
ed himself as to what he in
tended to do to the United
States after he had whipped
Europe. Let us tumble him
down from his arrogant power
and see that he never again
menaces the peace and the
civilization of the world.
The German plea for peace
through the pope is inconsist-
ent. The kaiser believes in the
rule of blood and iron and in
the theory that necessity
knows no conscience. Let him
play the game upon the lines
he himself laid down for Bel
gium and tried to hand to
France.

PENSIONS OR SOLDIERS
INSURANCE?

~-~~~~OS~-$~~
PENSIONS OR SOLDIERS
INSURANCE?
~ HE Soldiers Insurance
/ VI Bill introduced in both
branches of congress
yesterday indicates another
great change in the Republics
military methods. 1t is not a
change of principle but a
change of policy. AS the Sc
9 lective draft brought the old
principle of universal military
service under a more Just and
! ordered application, so govern
ment life and casualty insur-
, ance for soldiers brings the old
pension principle under fair
/ er and more scientific applica-
ton.
BY the terms of this bill the
government will not buy in
surance from private compa-
mics; it will itself insure. 1t
will collect the premiums from
lpublic taxes on a calculated
mortality and casualty rate
which makes the cost of ST.
600 of insurance about So a
year. This is not far above the
actual cost of straight life in
Isurance at age thirty without
the ''loadings" for agency and
other expenses and for "level-
ing" up the premiums against
the later years of higher
mortality rate.
The government has lately !
doubled the pay of its soldiers.
1t will add to that pay for ser
vice abroad. 1t provides in
this insurance bill for savings
by soldiers from their pay each
months for dependents where
there are dependents. 1t fur
ther provides allowances from
the public treasury to be add
ed to these savings for depend
ents. On top of all comes this
vast plan of insurance at the
public expense in a lump sum
for the family in case of death
and for the soldiers support
or compensation in case of dis
ability.
Thus the old order goes on
changing. What the chief in
dustrial states are doing in in
surance and compensation of
workers in peace the federal
government now proposes to
do with its fighting men in
war. No one could know what
the old pension system would
cost as applied in this war.
But experience from the Civil
War teaches that the cost
might swamp the country ana
that then even Justice would
often be sacrificed to politics
and personal influence on /
scale. Under this
plan the cost will be known as
we go along. Even-handed

KICK on ROYALTIES.
Minnesota State Owned Mines Are Not
Getting Enough, Says Auditor.

The question OF iron ore royalties
has bobbed up in Minnesota where q
lot OF the mines are owned in fee by
the state. State Auditor ], A o. Pc
rus says that the shipments from Min
nesota's state-owned mines during
July have totalled 1000 tons a week
The announcement was coupled
with a statement that Minnesota Is
realizing far less than 1t should from
these mines, through charging the
leasing companies a royalty one-third
as large as should be obtained
The July mark for ore shipments
was about the normal mid-season
tonnage, the auditors statement
shows, but will bring Short" sea-
son mark because of a late start,
caused by scarcity Of mine labor and
by the late opening OF Great Lakes
navigation
Up TO July /, Mr.. Perus announced
about 100000 tons had been ship
ped from the mines. and the season
total should reach from 100000 20
100000 tons
The state-owned mines aggregate
about one-tenth Of Mnnesota's orc
deposits, the statement shows. and Al
the present rate Of 25 cents ton roy
atty should bring fully $35O0O,OOO Ia
school and state university funds
Mr. Perus stated that the royalty
now charged on ore taken from the
mines might in some cases be raised
TO 81 ton. and would be willingly
paid by the leasing companies.
