Chemical Warfare

In recent address before the Chemical Exposition
in New York City Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, who
member of the committee military affairs,
gave his opinion in regard to the much discussed subject
of chemical warfare. His views those of Amer
whose personal character and patriotism have
been under suspicion who has personal business in
terest in the matteE and who has been in position
to know the facts upon which his opinion based.
Senator Lenroots opening statement to express
his conviction that "the future safety of country
from attack lies in the development of chemical
industry He further stated the following facts
based upon his official study of the question of national
defense and its to the taxpayers Of America
Thirty per of casualties in the from
German gases: results from gas casualties not
cruel than those from any other method of attack
the cost Of preparedness thru chemical warfare,
plane and submarine is the merest fraction of the cost
of large standing army, battleships and heavy ord
nance chemical warfare is of such nature that it
would be folly for any nation rely upon any inter
national agreement that poisonous gases shall not be
used in
Senator Lenroot, therefore, has reached the
cuson that continued research and development of the
means of chemical warfare national necessity and
that there is also national necessity for the encourage
ment of the chemical industry, and particularly of the
dye industry, TO insure of chemists and Of
plants that be converted for the manufacture of
gases and explosives should the need arise.
Like many others who have considered this matter
Senator Lenroot sees back of the proposed embargo
upon German dyes the danger of great monopoly in
the American dye industry He therefore believes that
# embargo is laid by congressional action the
tive branch of the govsnment should be given author
ity to prevent monopoly. Senator Lenroot to
incline rather to high tariff and this inclination
to be shared by majority Of the congressman.

The Proposed Bond Issue

The purposes for which it is proposed TO issue
900 of Pueblo city bonds thus set forth by
resolution of the city council:
Fnst-Engneering and preliminary expenses in
connection with a flood prevention district.
Seeond-Necessary temporary flood prevention
ths Arkansas river.
Third-Neeeesary temporary flood prevention on the
Fountain river.
Fourth-Changes necessary in complying with plans
Of the flood prevention districts ewer outlets bridge
extensions and elevations, etc.
Fifth-East Eighth street bridge
Any argument directed against this bond Issue
must therefore be based upon the claim either that these
expenditures not necessary that they should be
paid for in some other way.
The second claim is obviously absurd The only
other way to pay for this work would be by direct
taxation, and public sentiment would be overwhelmingly
opposed to the addition of such amount for the taxes
of this year, of the next few years.
1t is almost equally clear that the purposes for
which this money is be spent necessary and vital
the public interests. Pueblo must have flood protec
ton, and the only sensible way to get flood protection
is 10 60 at the job in businesslike waN under the
direction of competent experts To spend money without
definite plan without competent engineering drec
| tion, is to- waste money.
| II is also perfectly plain that Pueblo needs
measure of temporary flood protection. Permanent
that be completed the flood danger will be with
rs again. There must be something done before next
June and again the need of competent expert advice
is seen in the necessity of harmonzng temporary pro-
lection with permanent protection, TO give the
best possible results with the least possible costs.
| It may be claimed that the amount of s250o0o is
great for the purposes stated That matter that
has received careful attention from city officials from
the citizens committees and from the engineers. It
{oJ p,olo
priority in the order named for the Ave purposes. re
experience proves that there is money than can
be for temporary and preliminary work of flood
protection the surplus will be applied to permanent
j bridge construction.
! The conclusion from these facts is unavoidable.
There should he votes cast against this bond ISSUE
because vote against the bonds is vote against flood
protection or else it is a to pay cash for these
necessary expenditures.

Zone Man Government

The argument in favor of the City Manager plan is,
in short that the ten city counclmen will appoint
competent City Manager who will run the city affairs
in business way, and thereby the people will have
better government at less cost
Theoretically, the City Manager plan is the best
form of city government. In practice nobody be
sure what it will be.s
First, it is uncertain what kind of City Manager
have the power to appoint the City Manager the only
limitation being that prior his appointment the City
Manager shall have had successful experience as
city manager OR have had recognized extensive and
successful business experience. The latter provision is
meaningless, since the majority of the council might
recognize any as having had extensive and
successful business experience.
In Colorado Springs, which recently changed to the
City Manager plan the council chose the city
a retired grocer of Mantou who was at the time
Der of the Colorado house of representatives Six
bers of the proposed city council in Pueblo would have
the right appoint manager person they chose
for political any other reason.
The majority of the City Council will have the
power fix the salary of the City manager, and it viii
have the power any time to discharge remove the
City Manager. 1t will have power TO appoint
three Civil Service commissioners. City Con-
troller and Judge of the Municipal court.
The City Council also will have the power by majority
vote, to fill vacancies in its own body
With such provisions in the proposed charter amend
men it is possible that City Manager might run the
city business a business basis 1t is far probable
that the sxman majority of the City Council would run
the city, including the city manager and the basis upon
which that majority would act is altogether
problematcal.
The people of Pueblo should not take the risk of
turning the city government, with the additional
millions for flood prevention, for the next to
council majority, free from the restrictions that
experience shown to be necessary for the protection
Of the public interests

Disrespect For Government

President Stone of the Engineers Brotherhood
scored point in the hearing before the Labor Board
yesterday when he presented list of railroad executives
who had refused TO comply with orders from the board.
One of the principal points involved this
roversy is that the interests of all people super
ir to interests of of the people, The railroads
we're not built primarily for the benefit of capitalists
for the benefit of wage They built
primarily for the benefit of passengers and shippers.
The present controversy not primarily between the
railroad officials side and the railroad employees
the other, but it is primarily question between
the people of the United States side and the
who charged with owning and operating the rail
roads in their sevaznl' capacities, the other. In
this controversy the people of the United States ART
represented by the established and selected
by the people for the purpose Others of protect
ing their rights and in the matter of railroad
transportation.
1t is PROFESSIONALLY true that railroad promoters.
,alroad owners and railroad managers have much too
often ignored the public interests, obsructsd Justice
deed the courts and taken the untenabe ground that
the railroads of the United States their personal
property be operated they pleased The railroad
officials would occupy much better position in this
troversy if their record clear in this respect 1t
should be pnrt Of the decision in this controversy
that the rights of ownership and the rights of control
in railroad operation held subject to the greater
rights of the people.
But the faults and offences of railroad owners and
managers do not excuse similar offences the part of
railroad employees. Contempt Of the court by party
weakens the standing of that party and tends to ALLEVIATE
public sympathy but it docs justify similar contempt
by the other party.
The time has when the people of the United
States arc disposed to insist that the public right to
transportation shall stand first and that dividends to
stockholders salaries officials and wages to all classes
of employees shall be fixed such basis as may best
serve the public interests.
