Supervisor Fleming of Sa-
lem Namel Chairman OF
New Court House Bldg.
Committee This A. NJ.
DOWsE NAMED SECRETARY
Committee Starts Work With ALI Day
Conference With Architects and Has
Many Suggestions For Consideration
May Ask For New Plans.

Thomas Fleming of Salem was elect
ed chairman of the new court house
building committee when it met for or
ganization at the court house this morn
ing and Richard Dowse of Pleasant
Prairie was named as secretary. The
committee planned to spend the entire
day discussing plans FOR the reorgani-
cation of the work Of the committee
and listening to suggestions Of Archi-
tects White, White & White. A lot of
plans have been presented to the com
mlttee but the members indicated that
they would not be in hurry to accept
any of the suggestions. Under the or
der of the board, the members Of the
committee have been advised to confer
with the architects with view of seal
ing down the plans now made with
view of bringing the cost Of the build
ing within the purse of the county.
May Start All Over Again.
The opinion prevails that some defn-
lite action to build court house will
be taken at the January session Of the
county board and the committee is ex-
pected to bring some report to the SUI
pervisors that they can act on and act
on at once. It is possible that the COM
mittee will decide to start all over and
ask for new plans to be submitted to
the board in January.
Cooperation with the city for the
erection Of q county Jail and city po-
lice station, was discussed by the com
mittee today, and it is possible that
some plan will be made whereby the
court house and jail will be separated
and two instead Of one new building
be built. The committee plans to hold
many sessions between now and Janu-
airy 18th when its report will go to the
county board.

true
S. The boats are required as a
part of a complete navy even in
peace times, and the general board
determined to complete sixty of the
vessels, both as an economic and
naval policy.
6. The designs, plans and Specifi-
cations were prepared in the navy
department by the bureaus of con-
struction and repair and steam engin-
Ieering. The Eagle boats were built
in full compliance with these plans
and were approved by the govern
ment inspectors and trial board.
T. The Ford company did not seek
the contract It expressly stated that
it was not a shipbuilding concern
and had no experience in the matter
It offered its facilities to the govern
ment to relieve a. dire necessity
8. While the Ford company fell
short of what it hoped TO accomplish
in deliveries, the same failure of ex-
pectation applied TO other companies
building ships for the government.
8. There are no grounds for criti-
cism by reason of the increased cost
Of the Eagle boats over that original
mon experience.
TO- The contract with the Ford
company was more favorable to the
government than contracts with 9TH
er companies.
II. Mr.. Ford personally WILL
MAKE NO PROFIT OUT OF THE
CONTRACT. Mr.. Ford owns fifty
two per cent of the stock of the COM
pany, and his share of the profits on
the Eagles" he turns back to the
government. This was a body blow
to Lodge and other little brothers Of
the rich who would like TO destroy
Ford because he has not let his hui
mainly be submerged by his wealth.
L. The Ford plant was the only
plant at the time available for build
ing the Eagle boats.
This is specimen republican "war
scandal with its results. There has
been no apology from Lodge, and
there will be none. His charges fell
ridiculously flat, and SO do most sim
liar charges from similar sources, but
he passes blithely on to other char
ges. 1t is, characteristic and wildly
illustrative of the character of mere
politics and mere politicians, that to
date there has not been single adj
mission of error on the part of parti-
san critics, nor single apology from
them to those whose characters they
sought to blast in the eyes of their
fellow countrymen in order that they
might grasp little temporary poIiti-
cal advantage.

AFTER THE DOGS

There will be rapid thinning out
Of Florida's dog population if bill
now before the state legislature be-
comes law.
The act recognizes dogs as person
al property and places them on the
tax roll, in addition to which it inn
poses a small tax on each animal.
Provision is made for impounding
unlicensed animals and provides for
their humane killing if they are not
claimed within specified time.
Money arising from the taxes and
licenses will go to the school fund,
and it is estimated that million
dollars will be raised annually if this
measure becomes law of the state.
There will be opposition, much OF
1t, to the proposition, but the state
OF Florida would be very much better
off If 1t could legitimately and hui
namely cut down its dog population

a MEMORABLE WEEK

The week now growing to close
has been a most memorable one and
will occupy most conspicuous place
in history.
Congress convened in extra session
and the president transmitted his
message by cable, breaking all pre-
cedents.
The country is in great expectancy
as the government at Washington
stands divided and It is feared that
there will arise an issepressible con.
fIict between the executive and legis-
lative branches which will prove hurt
fui to reconstructive measures.
h It is feared that the republicans, in
congress may regard their election
as mandate from the people to
make fight on the president and If
such a course is adopted grave con,
sequences may follow.
| Both branches of congress and
both sfactions in both branches is
lacking in a strong leadership and it
is, unfortunately, at time when
leadership is very much in demand
It is week, too, when the peace
terms must either be accepted or
rejected and the world is watching
the outcome with grave expectancy
But the week has been made more
memorable still by daring aviators

THE SALOON DID IT

i Very few if any can read the fol
lowing from the New York World
without acknowledging that in the
main it is entirely true.
That paper says:
More than any other one influence.
the saloon contributed to the spread
of prohibition sentiment. Evidence
of the strong disfavor in which this
peculiarly American institution was
held was found everywhere by Louis
Seibold in making for the World a
survey of conditions in a large mum
her Of states. It had no friends and
no defenders. This almost universal
prejudice was common to believers
in the rational use of beer and other
alcoholic beverages and to extreme
prohibitionists. 1t was a bond Of
union between two classes of opin-
ion radically opposed to each other
by principle The leaders OF the
Anti-SaIoon league were shrewd
enough to capitalize this widespread
feeling in the name of the organiza-
ton through which they carried on
their campaign. They we're really
sailing under false cOIors. For sew.
eral years, ostensibly, they directed
their campaign against the saloon,
while their real purpose was to put
under the ban of the law the sellers
and consumers of liquor of every
kind. To them the use of beer or
wine in the decent SURROUNDINGS OF
the home was just as obnoxious as
the drinking of the worst forms or
intoxicants in the lowest corner grog-
gerry. In their zeal they made no dis
tinctiOns. To these extremists the
saloon offered itself as an ever pres
ent ally in winning the fight for pro
hibition. In the popular mind it had
come to stand as a confirmed law.

politics and in government, and for
a center of social abuses and domes-
tic distress Because of the resent
ment aroused against it the saloon
industry received neither sympathy
nor comfort under attack. and its
protectors, the brewers. were unable
to clear its. reputation. Against it
was aimed a moral crusade which be-
came nationwide agitation and
whose promoters held in contempt
the personal rights OF millions OF
Americans.

WE NEED PUSH AND PLUCK

Mr.. Roger w Bobson, director gen.
enral of information service says that
action does away with stagnation.
For the past six months we have
been passing ahrough a period of
business uncertainty Today our
country needs action-action based
on general confidence. Business
should be resumed Immediately on a
peace basis.
How can this be done?
Let the American people know that
they can create business activity on
large scale if they Buy Now

Therefore, the department of labor
urges everyone to boost a BUY NOW

they must buy wisely, but they must
buy today.

say on this removal proposition, as it
is about threadbare but this we do
know, when the capital is removed,
it will come to Orlando and nowhere
else. Orlando Reporter-Star.

The Duluth Herald says that last
January-not yet six months ago,
the Massachusetts senator, being ca
ger if he could to destroy public con-
fidence in Henry Ford and the Will
son administration, gave circulation
to certain charges against Ford in
connection with the manufacture OF
the Eagle" boats, and called for an
investigation These charges in sub
stance were as follows:
l. That the Eagle boat program
was costing the country fifty million
dollars, and that the return was moth
ing.
Il. That the Eagle boat program
was a complete failure.
8. That the failure was being COW
cred up by the navy department to
protect itself and the Ford Motor
company which had the contract for
constructing the Eagles
A. That the Eagles were leaky and
topheavy and generally unseaWorthy.
5. That fifty million dollars at least
is the price the navy is going to pay
for refusing to confess publicly the
failure of Ford's eagle boat program
and abandon it.
So That Ford was profiteering on

Z. That the navy's refusal to cut
short the construction looms up as
the biggest industrial scandal of the

8. Poor construction of the boats.
g. That the navy was favoring
Ford by continuing the order for
