Still an Emergency

When the legislature took one look at the
method and manner in which large number
of armories had been built by local bank
with a contracting firm as a subsidiary, 1t de-
cided that real investigation was in order.
The legislature believed that the state ex-
aminer should hire experts to inspect the
buildings and to check over the results.
1t not onl,, believed this, but declared that
an emergency existed. when it passed law
directing that this inquiry be made at once.
At the same time there was a promise from
tho Governor that sufficient funds for such an
inquiry would be forthcoming.
It seems that the legislature was mistaken
when it solemnly declared that there was an
emergency For thus far there has been no IN
vestigation, and, apparently, no effort to dis
cover what happens when a private concern
gets control Of public funds.
The legislature, by its action, declared that
the inquiry should begin at once 1t was not
willing to wait until the law should come into
full effect by edict Of the Governor. But that
time has passed 1t would be in effect today,
had there been no emergency clause, which re-
quires an overwhelming vote Of members Of the
legislature.
If any private citizen fails to obey law
passed by the legislature, he is forced to pay
the penalty. If he chooses to set aside the
orders of the legislature, he does so at his
risk
There seems to be no penalty for public
officials when they ignore laws.
The building Of armories was conducted in
a manner which was, at its best, an evasion of
the constitutional bar against the mourning of
debts by the state.
The scheme never received the sanction OF
the attorney-eeneral As q matter of fact, Mr..
GilHom. who was asked for his opinion, strong
II suggested that ii was illegal. 1t is significant
that he was only consulted as to the first of the
projects His opinion was ignored
Under the plan the military board entered
INTO leases with trustees named by themselves,
sor the rental of armores These trustees then
made a noncompetitive contract with a con-
raetine firm owned by the bank which handled
its bonds at large discount. One OF the board
was member of the architect firm. which drew
the plans.
Having entered into a long-term contract,
declared by the attorney general to be illegal,
there is now the claim that the state is morally
obligated for long term of years.
If there was an emergency when the legis-
Iature was in session. there is still an emer-
geney.
Certainly there should be some power to
force full and complete inquiry of this whole
armory situation, especially IN view of the an
nouncement of the military head, who holds
office by sufferance that he intends to erect
more armories on the same basis.
The probe should be Immediate and thor

Men Ape Women

XTHILE our young men seem to
w be replacing women in the
matter of pajama parades, young
women are replacing men on din
ing cars of the Yellowstone divi-
sion Of the Northern Pacific rail-
road.
And gentlemen of Paris are hav-
ing their hair marceled with "ques-
ton marks" at the temples.
Thus the emancipation of women
as some call it, or feminism. as
others prefer, manifestS itself in
various walks of life.

Our World War Consumption
WGs a Scandal; We Con-
scripted Men and Let Money
Run Amuck.
THE American Legion is eternally
l. right to condemn the con-
scription bill now in the United
States senate. for the bill does not
provide for the CONSUMPTION of in
dustrv and wealth; it provides only
for the consumption Of soldiers leav-
ing those who stay at home the OPP
pOrtunity to make unlimited blood
money.
It is a colossal lnfamy of a nation
to let some get rich while others
get killed, yet this has been the
custom Of all nations. and wars
always have brought forth the
heroes and the hogs.
Even back IN our American
revolution, While Washington army
was destitute the grafters we're
picking the very bones of Liberty.
and Washington regretted that he
could not hang them one and all.
Our World war consumption was
a foul scandal, surprising in its
infamy a million times Fall and
Sinclair ever did, for we conscripted
men and let money run amuck.
And you know and I know that
the sons of the rich and the in
fluential we're rarely conscripted
while the sons of the poor were
taken.
XXTE remember also that huskies
w who were permitted to es-
escape the draft were allowed to
make $12 to SIS a day in the ship
yards, while their physical interiors
we're fighting rats. coolies and Huns
for $50 a month.
Dempsey, then heavyweight
champion of the world escaped the
draft, while hollow-cheSted gentle
men were made to go.
They we're rolling in mud while
we were rolling in wealth.
AS they put on their masks to
keep from being gassed, we put on
our farseeing glasses to note the
latest chance to graft.
From the lowest who worked
with his hands to the highest who
grated with his wits, it was plum

WYE promised to stop it you

tunes upon the bones Of men; we
said this last infamy never could be
repeated and every President from
Harding down has declared for uni
versai conscription, but this effort to
pass a bill, conscripting soldiers
alone gives the lie to the govern
mentS sincerity
Let this congress pass this bill.
laying its hand upon the shoulders
of five million boys, yet never touch
ing wealth or industry, and the hght
is lost.
Those behind this CONSUMPTION
bill will say: Pass this measure and
we will pass the bill conscripting
wealth and industry later on" but
that is only apple sauce. Pass uni
versal CONSUMPTION now or pass no
CONSUMPTION!
