SOME SEATTLE PATRIOTS

Phillip d. Soan president Of the Sloan Shipyards Com
pany of Seattle gave interesting testimony before
the senate committee Friday Part of it was to the effect
that Theodore E. Ferris appointed by General Goethals
as architect of the Shipping Board while working for the
government at a salary Of $500 month, received or
to receive $58800 in commissions from firms having
contracts for building ships for the government Ferris
had recently testified that he receiving commits
sons from firms building ships for the government from
his plans His testimony and that of Sloan do not hitch
WELL The most startling bit of evidence though given
by Sloan when he posed a patriot. His testimony
showed the Cncheld company had received advance
of $685. 900 on each of four ships had contracted with
the Sloan company when it turned the contracts to
the government This Clinchfed company received
from the government $780, 900 than pay the
Sloan company when it turned contracts it held for
the building of II ships He claimed patriotism for
himself too saying he could make building ships for
private parties than for the government He showed
concusvey that the Seattle bunch of ship builders were
indeed fervent patriots. The convicts in Van Diemans
land had poem in which like claim to patriotism was
made A couplet from it ran:
"True patriots we; for be it understood
We left country for country's good"

AUSTRIA'S OPPORTUNITY

Germany after all her talk about peace without an

must either submit to giving up Courland and the Baltic
provinces fight This should still further open the eyes
of Austria Hungary to the aims Of her ally and make
her people the determined not to longer sacrifice
their lives to fight Germanys battles Germany has done
removing her maSk just at this time and exposing her
real objects not only to the world but to her ally Austria
If the stories coming from Amsterdam concerning in
terna conditions in AustraHungary true this ac-
ton Germanys part looks almost suicidal With the
nation camorng for peace, Germanys determination to
make it only such terms she dictates should soidfy
the dual nation against her and against further fighting
her battles. This is Austrias opportunity to obtain
peace fair terms and at the time guarantee her
autonomy She must realize now that German success
means Austrian destruction She has nothing gain by
further continuing the war; and stands chance to lose
everything At the best she cannot hope for as easy
later she can get now and the allies should make
a vigorous diplomatic war on Germany by offering
Austria generous terms to quit

The auditor also states that with all this property Rookie

cording to this showing Rockefeller property worth

sums besdes and this he has paid in four years less
than $500 year. tax Of 10 mills would amount to
80O0OO year. and of course that too much taxes for
anyone to pay 1t was so big in fact that John D. appar

The Federal Trade Commission charges Armour and

advancing the price for them. Phenomenal advances
big tanning companies and especially those of the Swfs
and Armours An unnamed company which made profit
of S644390 in 1914 cleared $3576544 in 1916 All of
which goes to show that Henry Ford knew exactly what
he was talking about when he said in discussing the pro-

increased war profits had been taken Ford suggested
