TWO BILLION LOSS IN BUILDING
SHIPS.
(By Smell Smith,

Complete loss to the taxpayers Of
something like two billion dollars has
been brought about by lax methods Of
the administration in the building of
ships, according to statements made
by Representative Mondell of Wyom-
ing, republican, during debate in the
house.
Mondell, as a member of the appro-
priations committee, pointed out that
there would be expended for shipping
under the provisions of the Sundry
Civil bill about 100000 The
present program, he said, calls for
1852 ships, constructed or to be con-
structed by the Emergency Fleet Cor
po%rations, with a total tonnage of
14,57S,111 gross, of which SIS ships,
with a gross tonnage of 3,313,3S6 have
have been delivered, and 391 requi-
sitioned ships of dead weight tonnage
of 1881 ,O61, have been delivered. The
total appropriated in this bill will
bring the appropriations for the ship
ping board to $3,507, 604,254.
Snyder of New York asked what
part of this huge amount is now an
asset of the government. To this ques-
ton, Mondell replied that the loss on
the country's shipping investment will
be about fifty per cent, somewhat
between a billion and a half and two
billion dollars. He went on to say
that we must strike from all of our
shipping something like thirty-five per
cent, in order to get down to a cost
basis at this time; that as ocean
freights are lowered and readjusted
to peace conditions another fifteen per
cent must be struck off to get down
to the peace value of some of the
ships; and that the percentage OF
loss on wooden ships will be even
greater.
"Then we come to the question OF
fabricating yards" said the Wyom-
ing man. "Mr. Piez of the shipping
board says that our $65,OOO,0O Hog

w. w. MAKE GOAT OF LABOR.

The Seattle and Butte strikes are
illustrations of the effect Of organ
lied radicalism making a goat OF or
ganized labor. The man had no just
cause to strike, hence public sentl-
ment failed to support them.
The public knew this was no time
to ask for increase in war wages as
in the Seattle case. 1t also knew that
with a drop of nearly ten cents a
pound in price Of copper, and with a
corresponding drop in lead, that mines
would either have to close or wages
be reduced below the war scale.
The honest workmen also know
these facts. The Seattle strike was
a dismal failure and SO far as the
mines are concerned there is no al
tentative but to reduce operating costs
to meet present low price of metal, or
close.
The reduction in miners wages OF
81 a day does not offset the drop of
nearly one-third in the price of metal.
In commenting on the situation at
Butte, Scott Leavitt, U. S. director of
employment for Montana, said: II
am glad to see a tendency among To-
cal union men to recognize the unus-
ualness of the present conditions and
to show a willingness to get together
and attempt to solve the problem.
Bolshevism and union labor have no
thing in common, the Russian impor-
tation is the worst enemy Of organ
lied labor in the United States today
and it's attempts to lure labor to fol
low it's path should be resented by all
true union men,"
Common sense and cooperation will
keep the mines open with employment
for thousands at good wages.
Strikes will close the mines anc
cause unemployment for thousands.
Remember, the war is over, so are
war prices and "a wages.

SOMEBODY LIED IN NORTH
DAKOTA.

We don't like to accuse so august
a parsonage as Mr.. Townley of telling
fibs and such things, but somebody
evidently slipped a cog somewhere.
In the North Dakota Leader of Octo-
Der 26th, 1918, we find under a big
six column headline, "Mr. Townley
explains the amendments" the fol-
lowing statement in lurid red ink:
"When you pass the amendments,
you don't make laws to bond the
state. You only change the laws so
that the state car issue bonds If a
majority of the voters later agree"
Further down in the same article,
Mr.. Townley says:
understand, when you vote yes
and pass these ten amendments, that
doesn't make any laws to bond the
state or to build elevators. The gang
says it does. But the gang lies"
Now, when you stop and consider
that the legislature, controlled not by
the gang but by Mr.. Townlcy's
gang, has passed laws for the avowed
purpose of bonding the state for over
SIT, 900, 1000, and that under the slave
driver tactics of Townley and his sub
sidiary bosses, the legislature has
been compelled to put the clincher
on each and every n of these meas
ures, that under the amendment, all
laws that are passed with the emer-
gency clause attached, go into effect
and full force, until they are repealed
by a vote-don't you think that some
one has Slipped one over" on the state
of North Dakota? That's the way it

GLASGOW COMING CENTER FOR
SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.

With 10000 acres of land in a ra-
dius of IS miles or rom Vandalia to
Nashua, with Glasgow as a center,
there is no limit of the possibilities
IN store for this country.
The sugar beet industry is n of
the largest in the United States and
one of the best paying for the pro-
Queer and manufacturers. Our CHI
mate conditions, sell, etc, are prac-
tically the same as he beet districts
of southern Montana. The Great West
r Sugar company of Billings real
ize this fact and in correspondence
with the Glasgow Chamber of Com
merce have encouraged beet growing
in this district and have agreed to
furnish a small amount OF seed this
year for the purpose of making tests.
1t is realized that one OF the big
difficulties is a market, so the beet
growing will not be extensive IN this
district until there is an incentive to
grow beets on a large scale.
1t is the hope of the chamber that
a number of farmers will grow a
small acreage this year. At the
Montana state fair, in 1918 Valley
county beet exhibits carried OFT all
premiums offered. Let's duplicate in
1919 and then look forward for that
sugar beet factory at this section OF
the Milk River Valley project.

WHO PAYS DEFICIT.

The big four brotherhood Of rail-
road employees proposes joint owner
ship of railroads by the government,

cials.
A return of four per cent interest to
be guaranteed and employees to
share in the profits.
No mention is made of who will pay
the deficits which according to re-
ports have climbed to some $3.50 ,O0O,-
900 for the past year in spite of great
ly increased rates to meet the billion
a year wage increase.
Of course this minor item of deficits
would be left for the taxpayers to
pay for it is apparently a case OF
"heads l win, tails you lose" propo-
sition so far as the taxpayer is con-
cerned.
Why not get back to first principles
as Americans, turn the roads back to
the owners under proper government
supervision and let the owners give
the service, foot the bills and make
money if they can.
After our experience of the last Is
months no one has the temerity to
claim government operation will eve
give as good service at as cheap rates
as private enterprise.

Island yard has no future. l do not
know how much the scrap that will
remain at Hog Island after it is all
over will bring. 1t may bring twen-
ty-five per cent of the amount ex-
pended. Probably it will not bring
that much. The loss on yards and ex-
tensions will be heavy, as we'll as on
housing, dry docks and other facili-
ties. Then we are spending ten mil
lions a year for the training of men
for merchant ships. Of course, this
will not be a loss if We can operate
the ships at a profit. But we might
as we'll make up u minds now that
the American people will pocket a
loss of at least a billion and a half
on the building. requisitioning and
operating of ships"
Many Of the vessels constructed by
the shipping board were fabricated
for certain special purposes such as
the carrying of aeroplanes, munitions
and machinery, and therefore cannot
be so readily adapted to the carrying
of ordinary commerce. At that some
of the wooden ones will be worthless,
as indicated by the fact that a few
tipped over before the engines we're
installed in them. Mondell said he
had no doubt that some use would
be found for the wooden ships, if sold
very cheaply. He stated that after
the completion of the governments
program for the next year and a half,
the tonnage of the entire world before
the European war will be exceeded
by five million tons. eYt half of
the expenditure will be taken up in
unnecessary loss.
"We have here another illustration
of what great mistakes people may
make by entering into great programs
without careful consideration" said
Mondell. 'In the desire to accom-
plish great things under the spur and
stress of war the mark was overshot.
| am not blaming anybody in partic-
ular for suggesting it. l should not
like, however, to be the man who ought
to be made responsible for some OF
the gross mismanagement under 1t.
Some folks ought to be brought to
account for the waste and loss"

WIRELESS TO OTHER PLANETS.

Further development in wireless
promises to take place in scientific
interest. Experiments with steel
tubes in place of glass tubes reveal
possibilities of wave projection far
beyond the most sanguine hopes of a
few years ago. Apparatus already
constructed yields a projecting force
sufficient to reach around the earth
three and one-half times. Marconi in
a recent interview even suggests I'LL
innate communication with other
planets. Until recently the distance
a wireless message could be sent was
largely a matter of power at the
sending station. Even this will doubt
less yield somewhat to improved APP
paratus, for it will be remembered
when the first Atlantic cable was com
pleted, the operators failed to get re-
suits at first, due to too much "juice."
Cell after cell of battery was added
to no avail until some one suggested
trying the line with only a few cells
which worked.
The very thought of communica-
ton with other worlds opens up such
endless possibilities of knowledge as
to constitute the most alluring task
to which science has ever set its hand.
