U.S.. AVIATION
FIELD WANTED

A campaign to bring to the at
tention of officials the advantage
Puget Sound offers as an ideal
site for a government aviation
training station is being started
by F. A. McKone, assistant pro-
fessor of mechanical engineering
at the University of Washington,
who has charge of the aeronautics
courses there.
An appropriation of $4,000
900 for the erection of airplane
stations is before congress, and as
the northwest Is without flying
field, Prof. McKone considers this
propitious time to act.
The mild year-round climate of
the Sound country is considered a
big point in its favor, as some of
the fields were compelled to
close during the winter months,
thus seriously hampering the
training Of pilots for war.

COTTON P%R0FITEERING
Survey Made by Banking House
for the Market" Shows
145 Per Cent. Profits.

The cost OF producing the 19l7-lS
cotton crop was 11.2S cents a pound.
The average price obtained for the
crop was 27.5 cents.
The cotton planters net profit on the
t917-1s crop was 1912 cents a pound,
or a little over 145 per cent.
These figures are furnished to the
market" by the banking house Of IL.
2. Bachman & Co. of New York city,
one of the largest cotton brokers in
the country. They ere based on a sur
vey of V e 1900 cotton growing coun-
lies in the South. The survey was
made by Mr.. James L. Watkins, ST.,
formerly Chief Cotton Statistician OF
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The cost includes every possible
item of expense, including even the
price of bacon and eornmeal, which
many cotton planters furnish their
negro labor.
The cost of producing the 1888
crop. just coming into the market, will
not exceed that of the 1918 crop,
as the Watkins survey was made this
year. after the 1917-1S crop was pick
ed and marketed, since which time
there has been little or no increase in
any of the items of cost. But the
191S-19 crop is being sold at over 30
cents a pound. The net profit to the
cotton planter on this years cotton
crop will be very close TO 200 per cent.
Yet a Democratic controlled Con
gress refuses to fix a price on cotton,
despite the fact that prices have been
fixed for products of Northern farm
ers and products of Northern mines
and factories.

NO "IIGKERED" PEACE
Germany Must Surrender" Say
Republican Leaders in Treaty
Making Senate.

Early in August, Senator Lodge,
ranking Republican member of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
and Republican leader in the Senate,
sounded an earnest warning against
any premature or compromising peace
with Germany. He demanded a peace
dictated only by victorious American
and Allied armies, a peace involving
Cermanv's unconditional surrender.
His address aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm in all the Allied countries,
where X was reproduced In the public
press.
when the recent Teutonic overtures
for peace were made, Republican lead
ers In the Senate, which is the treaty
making body of this government, i'm
mediately went on record against any
armistice or "dickering' with Ger
many and her allies. Senator McCuin
her. Republican, of North Dakota, In
troduced a resolution committing the
United States against any cessation OF
bostiIities or peace negotiations with
Germany until the Hun surrendered
Internationally and agreed to make
reparation to the nations he had
ravaged.
This resolution was endorsed by the
Republican leaders in the Senate, who
insisted there must be no let-up in the
prosecution of the war abroad or its
support at home until Germany and
her allies lay down their arms and
say, "We are defeated. What terms
of peace and reparation do you i'm
poser"
It is absurd to attempt to make 1t
appear that If Senators Lodge, Nc
Cumber, Po%indexter, Nelson and their
Republican colleagues carry the No
vember elections and win control of
the next Senate such an event would
be hailed with joy in Berlin and with
dread by our Allies.

REPUBLICANS DEMAND AUDIT.
Think People Should Have Check on
Billions They Have Given.

Last year Congress appropriated
more money to be expended in war
contracts than any other nation en-
gagged In war. The estimates for the
appropriations during the current year
are approximately $1,000 ,000 1000.
Twice during the past year the
Republicans In Congress attempted
to have a congressional committee
created for the purpose of supervising
and auditing war contract %expendi-
lures. Even Democratic members ad-
nit there is great waste and extrava-
gance - and even graft the ex-
expenditure of such vast sums. But
the Democrats refuse to agree to any
auditing or supervising committee.
Twice they have defeated such pro-
posals.
Congressman Fess, chairman of the
Republican Congressional Committee,
says he cannot understand the 'sensi-
tiveness'" OF the Democratic Congress
whenever the proposition is made to
have an audit OF the public's money.
He says the Republicans will, II they
control the next Congress, reate such
an auditing committee. The people
have willingly supplied the billions.
They are entitled TO know how 1t Is
being spent.
