THE BIG NAVY
BUDGET

The House of Representatives sup
posed it had gone as far as the Anne
rican public would sanction in vot-
ing the big sum of S396,00O,000 for
next years naval expenditures. The
senate naval affairs committee raised
that sum an even $1G0,000,000. The
senate, when the committee report
came before it for approval, added
another S42,OOO,OO0, making the huge
total S53S,000,00O.
That sum, as critics point out, is
about three times as much as was
ever spent on the navy in one year
before the World War. 1t may be
necessary, or advisable, to spend that
much now. But if it is, somebody at
Washington should explain the mat
ter in terms that the public can I'M
derstand. Otherwise there is bound to
be endless criticism and condemna-
ton of such greatly increased eXpen-
diture at time when the people are
heavily burdened with war taxes, and
are craving relief from a congress
which has promised relief.
What is the point? Is this "ges-
ture", to prove to the naval powers
that the United States is ready to
outbuild them, thus persuade them to
drop the competitive armament policy
andagree to naval curtailment? If
not, what and where is the danger?
Is war threatening with Japan, or
with England, or with some unsus-
pected power or combination of pow
ers? These are questions that can
not be put to sleep by the senate's
commendable passage Of the resO-
luton for a disarmament conference.
The. America people stand not only
for open diplomacy in foreign affairs
but for open understanding of domes-
It's legislation. This is legislation
which affects not only their own
pocketbooks but the peace of the
world. 1t may be all right, and if so,
it can be easily explained. Other
wise the public will expect to see
the house hold out for lower expendi-
lures.

Curiosities of Populous Isle.

A remarkable case of overpopulation
is that of the island of Bukara, In
Victoria Nyanza, described by H. l..
Duke in the Cornhill Magazine.
This island, with an area of Sc square
miles, much of which is bare granite,
though isolated from the rest of the
world, supports a population Of 49,
600. The small garden plots are care
fully marked off and rights Of own
ership are rigIdly observed. Trees are
valued more than the land on which
they grow. In some cases one man
owns the trees and another the ground

Association, its name changed and
both officers and clerks of banks were
admitted to active membership. Many

Local chapters of the Institute have

Interesting Ball Game

A base ball game was played in
Crested Butte last Sunday afternoon
between the regular town team and
a picked team of married men, cap
tanned by Jack Neesham. Jose Arnott
pitched for Neesham's team and gave
the regulars some valuable batting
practice; he was relieved in the sixth
inning by Geo. Johnson. West Bailey,
catcher for Neesham's team, was re-
lieved in the sixth by Curtis Morrow.
Bailey finished the game in right
field. lefa 4
Ira Morrow received considerable
applause from the grand stand, when
he appeared in the second inning to
take his place behind the bat for the
town team. Matt Glaviano, pitcher
for the town team, who did such cred
liable work in Gunnison the Sunday
before, pitched the entire game for
the town team.
I Features Of the game were the
clever head work of Ira and Duffy
Morrow in running bases, and Art
Youngs work as short stop. No ad-
mission was charged.

FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK. MAY 1928, 1921


Once upon time, long ago, a small
Dutch boy is said to have saved Hol-
land by jamming his arm into leak
in the dyke, and so holding back the
sea until help could come and stop
the leak. There, even the tiniest tot
knows that the dyke must hold or the
country face ruin.
Here in dry Colorado our future de-
pends, not on walling out hungry
sea. but on thriftily saving and using
the scant waters that we have. With
out water, our land would be as ten
antless as the moon. So to hold for
use the rain and snow is of first i'm
portance.
Dams and reservoirs? Perhaps
They are of use. BY all means let us
have them. But their place is pitt

we will help her
She begins at the very top. Far

has spread her coverings. Even high

THE MESSAGE OF THE TREE

When this old world was young, then grew tree,
Beneath it flowers bloomed in dust and sand,
The birds aswing upon it's limbs sang free,
And dreary earth became enchanted land.
Then suddenly before the steps of man,
Appeared its limbs flung out against the blue
He with its eafy boughs home began
From this first home the earth to Eden grew
The silent tree that listens by the road;
If it had lyric lips what songs twould sing,
OF good and bad bound in the human load;
Wrecked homes-false friends-the from gossip's
sting,
The cruel word that leaves lasting smart,
The broken that scalds the cheek with tears,
The happy laugh that springs from happy heart
The silent tree keeps secrets thru the years!
The forest like tall cathedral spires;
One feels of something sacred and sublime;
something great that charms and tires
Which reaches far-back to the dawn of time,
And points beyond to ages yet to be- Il.
The heavy laden kneeling the sod
Inspired and urged by the mighty tree,
Breathes there prayer and feels the peace of God
Within the Lowell locked branches of the wood
Deep rooted in earth; limbs pointing high
Christs message sings to of Brotherhood;
1t gently falls like music from the sky
Oh, men of Colorado the treei
And build in state its glory strong,
Here let it sing the message sweet and Free
'Tis sweeter far than any poets song
ALICE POLK HILL,
Poet Laureate of Colorado.
