 Sale of Savings e |5 Thrift Stamps by Meetir6
The War Savings Stam |, I'll

The War Savings Stamp n&3kN4
 last evening in Elks' hall, uTiuea t. auspices of the lodge committee proved to be an oyerwh elnaing sue cess. An excellent musical program was provided by such talent as the Arpi Sextet, Fred Latham, MT Rob- inson, MT. Lambert and Prof Har- mon, whose efforts thrilled the large audience and greatly added to the erthusiasIlSn Snroused by the eloquent endeavorss III the speakers.
 Especially deserving of comment is the very thorough and concise man ner in which Col. Howell Cheney out lined the important functions of the War Stamps in the financing of the war. Among other things, Col Cheney emphasized the fact that it should not be necessary to sell War Savings Stamps. In pointing out that millions of dollars a year would be saved if only one less hairpin were used per day by every woman in the United States, he made every one take notice. Col. Cheney forcibly il- lustrated the enormous benefit to the government which would ineVita by result if every individual would make the trifiing sacrifice of spending ten cents a day less for One-essentiaIs, and put that amount to work for Uncle Sam.
 Moreover, Col. Cheney explained in @ most convincing manner that sup port at home is essential to the suc- cess of the army abroad adding that it should not be necessary to urge any man who has sons or relatives risking their very lives for the honor of their country, to buy Thrift Stamps.
 Besides Col. Cheney's address, great enthusiasm was aroused by the stir ring appeals of Mayor Quigley, P. F. King and w. H. Cowlishaw, and in dications are that the campaign in New Britain will be greatly stimulat- ed.

only a short time when the sheriff of
Harris county died. Mr. Andersons

was honored with reelection seven
different times and served the people
in this important office for fifteen
consecutive years. Four years sgo
Mr.. Anderson declined reelection and

WASHINGTON, D. Endorsement
of the Overman bill giving the Pres
ident full powers to centralize con-
troll in any way he sees fit, was rec
commended today by the board of di-
rectors of the United States Chamber
OF Commerce to the more than 1000
chambers of commerce and other in
dustrial organizations comprising its
membership. This is in line with the
chambers action since last September
when it called for central control and
responsibility for procuring war ma
terial and supplies.
The development of an organization
TO bring about central control and
responsibility for procuring war ma
terlal ad supplies has now reached a
point where further progress can not
be had without action of Congress. -
said Waddill Catchings, chairman Of
the war committee of the Chamber of
commerce of the United States. Glow
ever excellent the numerous plans of
reorganization in the several depart
ments are, they can be put into effect
only when Congress grants the power
NO matter whether one might have
D~SH ulSPoSSu W urge the passage OF
the bill for a ministry of munitions
and a war cabinet. this hardly seems
the direction for effective effort at this
time' he continued. "Those in charge
of the administrative machinery of the
government are strongly opposing the
passage of these measures. The adj
ministration's proposal that the ex-
listing machinery should be changed
to bring about central control and
responsibility offers an opportunity
| for progress which all should sup
port"
The falseness of the impression that
the Overman bill grants additional
powers is emphasized in the recon-
mendation sent bv the chamber to its
members. The bill simply gives the
president power to redistribute the
functions OF the executive agencies. To
transfer duties, powers, records. and
nersonnel from one executive agency
to another and to employ such addi-
f'on"' agencies as he may deem nee
essary.
Erroneous. too. is the Inference that
the bill gives the executive power 10

and to use these monies for other MIR.
noses. The act specifically provides
that any monies annronriated shall

IT was appropriated under the direc.
ton Of such agency as the president
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1918-03-05

may direct. 1t must be borne in mind
that the obvious intent of the bill is
solely to give the president the power
to create an administrative machinery
designed to meet the problems of the
war
If this act is passed the president
can consolidate the buying from the
numerous scattered departments and
bureaus to such extent as he may find
necessary and place this buying I'M
der the control of some central
agency. Likewise he could invest in
some central agency the power to
reach decisions aand to determine the
great questions which effect more
than one department.
In similar manner the president will
have power to centralize and remove
duplication of effort where conflicting
activities have developed in connec-
ton with the war. For example he
could form a central secret service
for the United States during the war
by transferring to one central agency
the secret service activities which are
now scattered between many depart
ments such as justice, treasury, war,
navy, etc.
Until some legislation such as this
is passed the various bureaus and
divisions of the government will be
compelled by the existing statutes to
continue their Independent activities.
There will exist nowhere the author
ity necessary to bring about central
contrib and responsibility. Since the
Overman bill carries out the spirit
and the purpose of the resolution
adopted at the war convention of
American business held at Atlantic
City by the United States Chamber of
Commerce last September. the cham
Der gives it its unqualified support.

WASHINGTON. March AFTER
much reading of war editorials and
correspondence in numerous newspa-
pers and a few magazines. think l
have found out what's the matter with
both the president and the secretary
OF war Which means that / know
what's the matter with our part of the
war, says y. ID. Cochran. the famous
special correspondent in his Sunday
letter.
You see, Baker made the mistake of
taking the advice of Generals Scott,
Bliss, Pershing, March and others
who have never done anything but
study war as a profession. Now if
he had carefully read the editorial
columns of the Chicago Tribune, Kiui-
sas City Star. Philadelphia North
American, Boston Transcript New
York Sun, Cleveland News and New
York Mail-together with a monthly
perusal of the Metropolitan magazine
and the North American Review--he
would have found out more about war
than Napoleon, Caesar, Alexander
Hannibal, Marcus Aurelius and Jack
Johnson ever forgot.
MAZE Mccormick of the Chicago
Tribune learned the science of war by
wearing the uniform of a major in the
Illinois national guard. Dan Hanna
picked it up by inheritance. Frank
Munsey got his magazining, and the
manager of the Kansos City Star was
born in Germany and got naturaliz-
ed after we got into the war last
year. What they didn't learn about
war out of the books or by fighting
just came to them by instinct.
And that's the big mistake Secretary
Baker made-not knowing just where
