NO GAME LAW ON PORK.

It is dull mind in Congress that cannot find some connection between any measure which Representative favors and the winning of the war. The annual "pork' bill is classified thus by every advocate of appropri- ations for rivers and harbors, and the proponents of most of the items show pugnacity worthy of better cause. MT. Madden, of Illinois, has been es- pecially active in exposing the falla- cies of this kind of argument and the enraged "pork" hunters occasionally try to take him off the floor by a time-honored device of drowning his words with cries of "Vote," Vote.' But the Chicagoan has been too long in Congress, too long in public life too long in business, not to know his rights, not to know how to defend them, and above all, not to know g "job" when he sees it. It is not like ly that his efforts for economy will be successful, but he is storing ur some useful ammunition for a day of battle soon to come.

A SECRETARY OF MUNITIONS.

Major General Crozier's testimony before the Senate Committee on Mil itary Affairs shows the presence of superabundance of red tape in the War Department.
 Red tape and speed do not trot well together in double harness. If there is to be speed, the red tape must be cut.
 Speed, and especially speed in the War Department, has become ne cessity. The war has brought many burdens. This is particularly true of Secretary Bakers department. What is the remedy? Plainly in the crea- tion of new department devoted ex- clusively to munitions.
 Let us have Secretary of Muni- tions and let him be practical man with the wide experience of actual ar my service, not professor from an inland college, such as is Fuel Admin istrator Garfield, or a civilian from a western city who is. a pacifist at heart, as is Secretary Baker. A man of the calibre of General Leonard Wood would fill the bill.--Phil. h. quirer.

THE STERLING RESOLUTION.

Senator Thomas Sterling,of North Dakota, took the lead of his Demo- cratic colleagues, and introduced a resolution providing for a railroad traffic director. This was before the President appointed director. The measure was drawn as conservatively as such radical department from normal railroad methods will permit. It provided that the new official should be appointed by the President, but subject to the approval of the Senate; that the power bestowed up- on him should continue only during the war; that he should have super vision over freight trains only; and that his actions should not deprive the railroads of their right to just compensation for shipments. The di- rector was to have supreme authority in settling all questions of priority be- tween different companies, and fine of $5,000.00 or imprisonment for five years, or both, were made penalties for failure of any railroad official to obey his orders.
 The conflict of priority orders and their unreasonable number has been generally charged by railroad men as being more responsible than any oth- CT agency for the present congestion in our transportation system. Sena- tor Sterling's resolution struck direct ly at the heart of that trouble, and would, if enacted into law, greatly clarify the situation. The measure is now in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Committee of the Senate.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

The Philadelphia North American manifests an inspiring optimism in felicitating itself and the country up- on the release of the press from the bondage of a partisan censorship. Certainly the country is to be con- graduated if a new light has come to those papers which have felt that loyalty to the nation required them to close their eyes to disastrous incom- potency and to remain silent when telling the truth would be embarrass- ing to the administration. Said the North American, in the course of column-long editorial:
 "With the press ungagged and a dishonest censorship discredited, the public will not be stupefied again by the waves of boastful and deceptive poison gas from Washington, but will have clear understanding of the war and will be able to scrutinize at least the general system of manage ment."
 All of which has an encouraging sound. Freedom of speech and of the press is now as it has always been, the bulwark of liberty. When Louis Ma poleon, who had been elected Presi- dent of the French Republic, pulled off his famous coup d'etat and estab- lished himself as Emperor, the first thing he did was to corrupt part of the press and terrorize the rest. With the press afraid to tell the truth, he was safe so far as domestic affairs were concerned. His overthrow came from outside of France; not within.
 Fortunately, no considerable part of the press of this day and nation can be either corrupted or terrorized. For tunately, also, the people of America have such keen appreciation of the vital importance of free press that they will consent to no abridgement of it's rights. It is true that many editors were misled into suppression of facts through the plea that to tell the truth would be helpful to the en- emy. Now that developments have demonstrated fully that secrecy was helpful to the enemy, there should be as the North American intimates, a full and free discussion of all proper subjects of governmental policy and management.
The Coconino sun., 1918-01-18
NO sCAPEGoATs.

Making General Crozier a scape- goat for the delays, omissions and fu- tilities of the War Department is the wrong way to reform bad business. He is only cog in the machine which should function as fast and smoothly as racing automobile, but actually lumbers along at the gait of a cat erpillar tractor.
 The Chief of Ordnance has done his best to defend the old order from which he derives his prestige, and it may be that he has fought rear guard action to save others whose responsibility is greater than his. But he has not made an admirable figure as an exponent of eleventh-hour pre- paredness.
 It was a sorry rehearsal of things lamely done and not done at all. In the eight months between the making of the appropriation and the declara- tion of war no machine guns of any type had been added to the equip ment of the army.
 Yet nearly two years ago, on Jan. 27, General Wood, testifying before the House Military Affairs Commit tee, had once more urged the accum- ulation of sufficient arms, equipment and reserve supplies for million and a half men in addition to the supplies and arms required for the regular force and it's reserve, and in addition to the arms and supplies required for the militia and its reserves, espe- cially.
 At the same time he declared that "you save men by putting in machine guns." It is significant that General Wood, with prophetic vision, observed that "you might put in machine guns as thick as there is room for them That is what the combatants are do- ing on the western front.
 It was only after America entered the war, in fact, fifteen months from the time General Wood urged the equipment of regiments with at least twenty-four machine guns that some thing was doing at the factories, z mere getting under way, as it were as if the preparation for war of thu future. And there was a pitiable de ficiency of rifles, so alarming, indeed that the United States Government had to make the best of bad situa tion and re-chamber Enfields, tn, British arm. And we found ourselves dependent upon our allies in France for artillery of all calibres; that il to say, we could not, with all ou steel works and factories, put soldier wearing the American uniform in tn line without the protection of Frencl and British guns. It was an admis sion to make an American weep witt impOtent rage.

AND NO AUDIT.

Senator Reed Shoot, of Utah, has figured up the appropriations made by Congress since the establishment of the Government, covering period of 12S years. He finds that up to the close of the 64th Congress, March 4, 1917, they amounted to little more than $26,OO0, 100000. Yet since that date Congress has appropriated over s21 100000, 900, and before the present sessions adjourns it will have far ex- ceeded the amount previously spent by the Government since it's organi- zation. Senator Shoots figures serve to impress upon us the relative i'm portance in our history of the tre- mendous scenes through which we are now passing.

When they were refused by the lieutenant in charge. the sailors seized the officer and threw him into the water. A warship lying near by im- mediately dispatched a motor boat armed with machine guns to the scene and the crew of the motor vessel fired into the crowd of sailors on the quay, killing forty four and wounding seven- ty three others. The remainder were arrested and imprisoned. The officer declares that the same thing has been practically duplicated on a smaller scale several times during the past few months at various naval stations.

tenn in force in all of the allied coun- tries, the demands for flour are far in excess of the surplus supply which can be shipped from this country under present conditions.
 The allies are demanding about one hundred million more bushels of wheat than can possibly be given them with out reducing the local consumption. and the Food Administration can sec no other way to meet the demand than to reduce the amount of individual sales.
 In the event of the plan being adopt ed, the mlllers, wholesalers and re- tailers will be asked to confine their sales to individuals to seventy per cent of the amount that is being hand . led at present.
