Peace and Disarmament

The tremendous popular sentiment in favor of dis
armament is based in large degree upon misapprehen-
sion
Disarmament will be great saving of useless
pense 1t will reduce the of and either
relieve the burden of taxation permit the of
money obtained from for other purposes than
munitions and other instruments of 1t
will release productive industries large numbers of
young kept in training in armies and navies,
and the world will be the happier for that change.
Disarmament will decrease the chances of 1t
will lessen the influence of those who profit by
tracts for material. 1t will deprive certain kind
of imperialsc statesmen of the instruments of their
insane purposes.
But disarmament will not prevent war. and those
who supporting disarmament the belief that it
will make impossible deudng themselves.
War when nation wants something
much that it is willing 10 fight for il, and another
ton willing to fight to prevent the first from getting
what it desires. The instruments with which the is
to be fought and the degree of preparedness the part
of the contestants matters of secondary consiera
ltion.
The real advantages of disarmament are enough to
warrant all the effort that is being made for its
lcompshment. But to think that disarmament removes
the danger of is to lay the foundation for great
national disappointment and perhaps great national
danger.

THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE
southern states, many conflictin
statements having been submitted.
presIdcntinl Elections Effected

southern states. many conflicting
statements having been submitted.
Presidential Elections Effected
One of the strongest reasons why the
states fight so hard against reduction
of their congressional representation is
that 1t has an important bearing on
future presidential elections. The nun
Der of ELECTORAL votes possessed by
each state corresponds to its represen-
tation in both branches of congress
Should the southern states, or any Of
them. lose congressional seats the
stronghold of Democracy would he
weakened in presidential elections in
the future, and carrying the South
would not weigh as heavily in the BAL
ance as is now the case.
The size of the house has increased
steadily since the birth of the country
except in one instance Originally it
consisted of sixty-five members one
to each 10000 of population In 1873. on
the basis of one member for each $1,000
people. the size of the house became
l06 on the same basis. 10 years later
the house membership numbered Ia
The increase continued, with the mum
Der of representa- being checked
only by increasing the number OF per
sons each was to represent In 1875,
however, congress reduced the size Of
the house, the only time recorded IN
history. The ratio Of people was in-
creased from iI100 to 70,ss0. and this
decreased the number Of representa-
tives from 2t2 to 232. In 1883. after
the tenth census, congressional repre-
sentation was based on one for each
1871 persons, and this increased the
size Of the house from as2 to 1872. Ten
years later It become $50. ten years
after this 3si. and after the thirteenth
census the house grew to Its present
size of t35 members, on n basis of one
member to every 2lis57 persons.
Sentiment for limiting the house Mt
least to its present size is fairly strong
This would ne accomplished II the ra-
ito of people for congressional dis
tricts was fixed at PESTS, or any maio
fraction Of that number Of people. Tho

Mr.. Morgan S Report

Pueblo people have been awaiting with strong inter
lest the preliminary report of Mr.. A E. Morgan of Day
ton, o. which The Chefain presents to its readers this
morning.
The report contains nothing startling its
principal declaration of opinion being somewhat
guarded reiteration of the declaration made by Mr..
Morgan while in Pueblo that flood prevention in Pueb
10 practicable from engineering standpoint, and
that its within the financial resources of this
community.
As might be expected from eminent engineer,
the main part of Mr.. Morgans preliminary report
plain and straightforward statement of the practical
program TO be followed in flood prevention campaign
The different elements to be considered and the tech
meal work necessary reach safe decision upon each
one of these matters plainly set FORTH together with
the estimated of obtaining the reliable information
necessary.
To persons it may appear that expenditure
of fifty sixty thousand dollars merely to find out
what Pueblo ought do is an extravaganza, but the
majority of Pueblo people intelligent enough to
know that in such this there other plan of
safety
1t is absolutely necessary before any money is
spent in the actual work of building excavating that
decision should be had upon general plan and its de-
tails, and such decision only be made when the
information is obtained suggested by Mr.. Morgan.
1t is certain, therefore that the city council and
the advisory committee will begin its work along the
lines suggested in Mr. Morgans report that immediate
steps will be taken obtain the funds necessary
pursue the engineering surveys and to obtain the legis
lative enacments necessary, and that competent
engineer. in whom the people will have full confidence,
will be engaged to take charge of this work
No would undertake to put up a great build
ing for complicated without architects plan,
and the plan of flood prevention of greater
portance than the work of architect
Mr.. Morgan's report points to the road along which
Pueblo seek its safety There should be delay
in making the start in the right direction.

AN HISTORICAL MOVE
The Bache Review.

The right way to real peace is entered upon at last
through President Hsrdings call for conference
disarmament between the five nations in whose hands
rests the power to enforce universal peace.
No as important the whole world as this
has been made since the Arnistice, and it will bring
deep-seated confidence everywhere to know that
have a government at Washington big enough to in
augurate such 1t is the constructive business
way with far-reachng chances of opposed to
the visionary hopes and impractical expediens of the
past While the problem be solved is difficult and
complicated especially that part of it centerng
around the Pacific and in the Far East the fact that
these five nations constitute the dominant power of the
world will tend distractions, and to dis
solve many difficulties
Coming at a time when the whole world is longing
for peaceful conditions the psychic effect of this uni
versal urge will compel a successful outcome.
The economic effect of disarmament aside Prom
other and humane advantages will heavily reduce
ton and be beneficial to the budgets of the nations,
that its good results, internationally and individually,
hardly be estimated
There is another situation which developed this
week making for added confidence in the President.
This his calm deliberate action against the Soldier
Bonus bill, practically effecting its overhrow-acon
which the Senate should have taken and knew that it
should have taken, but had the courage to bring
about. The Presidents candor and courage were SO
much the opposite of the usual political procedure that
this places him high plane of craftsmanship and
gives that the countrys good and party
consideration, will be paramount in any future
emergency
Congress allows itself to be pursued by bucaboo
shadows of adverse voters. and this account the
kind of situation exists with regard taxation
The Representatives evidently convinced that the
Sales Tax is the only practical method Of raising suff-
