THE AMERICAN SHELL GAME

Secretary Daniels of the navy de-
partment has decided to re-advertise
for bids on armor piercing shells in
the hope of getting more reasonable
bids.
An English concern, Hadfields Linn
tied of Sheffield, England, submitted
bids on 16-inch shell at S513 per
shell. The lowest American bidder
wants $775 per shell. Furthermore,
the British concern offers delivery in
16 months, while the American firms
want to take 36 months to do the
work. So the British concern was
awarded the contract
The fact is that American NUM-
tions manufacturers are so busy with
profitable war orders that they do not
want to supply their own government
with shells. Their patriotism is Of
that variety which requires to be ex-
cessively stimulated with gold to
make it work.
We are getting tired of that kind
of patriotism! The American navy
must be built up and must be sup
piled with munitions and we haven't
got 36 months or any other months
longer than the shortest possible time
in which these shells can be manu-
factured. Furthermore we don't want
to have to depend upon a foreign
munitions-making concern to supply
the American navy with ammunition.
There is just one way out, and Sec
retary Daniels realizes it. The last
naval bill-the building program of
August 20, 1916-provided 1,411,-
222 for erecting government plant
for the manufacture of prOjectiles. A
beginning has been made on this
plant, and Secretary Daniels is about
to ask congress to double the appro-
priation for the projectile plant.
Congress should not hesitate to do
it. Furthermore, congress ought to
realize that the greater the facilities
which the government itself has fC
manufacturing its own munitions,
the more likely the government will
be to get reasonable bids for furnish
ing such supplies
We have put up with dollar pa
triotism about as long as we can
stand it.-Toledo News-Bee.

The Wilson Business Mems League
that done such effective work for De-

issued the following reminder of the
events that marked It;

ers ,as we'll, have profited by the un-
equalled prosperity in the United
States, 1t is a significant fact that
in most instances the wage increases
have come voluntarily, indicating the
great confidence the American people
have in President Wilson and the
Democratic administration.
Commercial and industrial condi-
tiOns in this country have been vast
ly advanced and improved by the pro-
gressive legislation originated and
enacted by the Democratic party and
supported by President Wilson and
his admirable administration. With
a continuation of these principles,
there are years of prosperity before
our people, and idle fears should have
no place in our thoughts.
We have all seen the avalanche of
good feeling, advancing wages and
other evidences of the increasing bro
therhood of man which has occurred
since the election of Woodrow Wilson.
How much of this would have occur
red had he not been reelected, none
Of us can say.
The Record of Achievement of the
Democratic party in control of the
Government is one of Constructive
Action against Destructive Comment
and Reaction.
The Democratic party is the depend

lean people of all classes.

wishes for all 1916 has passed and
we are entering into a new year Of

MUST COME TO sINGLETAx

In a public address at Lansing on
January 2, Governor Ferris, of Mich
igan, expressed himself as follows;
Some say there are no classes in
this country. But hear of the la
boring class. have no objection to
the expression II IT is understood that
I belong to the laboring class. l dc
object to the expression if there is
an intimation that there is also a
class that does not work-that idea
disturbs me.
Let no one doubt that even in this
year 1916 there are thousands close
to poverty fearing and dreading the
morrow. and this in the presence of
the most colossal wealth.
Read and re-read and study Hen
ry Georges Progress and Poverty, "
said the governor. Don't let any
one tell you that the Singletax is an
extinct factor in economic discussion.
There never was time when so
many men were reading and study
ing the Singletax, and never was such
a spirit of putting these theories to
the test-and America must find a
way by which those who earn will re-
ceive what they earn, and those who
merely own will not receive except
what they earn"

Big Fire On
Cooks Farm
Wagon House Completely Burned

The family of Herman Cook was
reused on Monday, shortly after
they had retired for the night, by
passerby who discovered flames
coming from the wagon house. A
request for aid reached Aetna Fire
Company at 1918. Owing to the
fact that there was no stream Of
water nearby, the firemen were
able to render assistance by use of
the chemical only. The burning
building stood between the barn
and the house, and only a favor
able wind saved either of these
buildings. A gasoline engine on
the farm was put to good use, sup
plying water for a bucket brigade
which rendered good service in
saving the adjoining buildings.
The large frame building used as
a wagon shed and granary, con-
tanning two wagons, buggy and
a quantity Of soy beans recently
threshed, was entirely burned. The
loss, covered by insurance, has not
yet been learned.
