Navy Supply Bill Passes
Senate-Amendments
Up to House.

The Navy was assured today Of at
least 1922, ,847, ,s08 for expansion of the
Nations seapower after the Senate
had passed the Navy appropriation
bill 81 to IL and disregarded a sug-
9estlon for a new naval limitations
conference. This appropriation Is
$5,254, ,724 under the current one,
which set peace-time record.
Appropriating S3,7o7,620 less than
the total approved by the House two
weeks ago, the Senate measure car
ries $130,O0O,0O0 for continuing work
on 81 vessels in addition to starting
construction of eight destroyers and
four submarines. 1t reappropriates for
other purposes $l0,0O00O0, which
Congress set aside IN 1885 for a float
ing drydock for the Pearl Harbor
naval base.
Only three hours of debate, during
which several Senators said the out
lay was "eXtravagant," preceded pass
age of the bill. Agreement with the
House on minor amendments remains
to be effected, however, before the
money becomes available.
The suggestion for a new naval
limitations conference among major
powers came from Senator Pope of
Idaho. UNLESS something of the kind
Is done to halt the race for arma-
ments, We are headed for very serious
consequences" he declared. with
out some limitations for the future,
this country will be compelled to enter
the arms competition"
Leading opposition to the bill, SEN
ator Frazier of North Dakota con-
tended big Army and big Navy men
direct our defense policy"
Senator Bone of Washington pr -
posed that the eight destroyers and
four submarines provided for in the
bill, and two battleships for which
plans are being drafted, all be con-
structed in the Nays own yards.
His amendment lost without a
record vote after Senator Byrnes of
South Carolina read a letter from
Secretary Swanson.

THE DOUGHNUT

1t sometimes requires a rather foolish
argument to bring into our minds the
actual wealth, comfort and security of
the American industrial employe.
Therefore, if it were not for the man
who points to the doughnut and COM
plains: But look, there is hole in it,"
the thought would never occur to many
of us that the doughnut, itself, was there.

A BONE OF
CONTENTION

Washingtons Senator Homer T. Bone,
not whit wearied by the last gruelling
session of congress, is drawing up an
interesting proposal for the next session.
1t seems strange, said Senator Bone, that
if a mans COW is injured or becomes ill,
medical expenses can be deducted from
his income tax, whereas if that mans
wife or children are ill, no deductions
are permitted. If the cow dies its value
is deductible, but if the wife dies, funeral
expenses are not deductibe.
Thus, said Senator Bone, in the eyes
of the revenue law, cow is worth more
than wife, and the legislator is eager
to adjust the matter.
Senator Bone should know by this time
that the revenue act is all out of kilter
in a lot of ways. 1t does not and cannot
levy justly and fairly to all. One man
with a given income may use it all and
more fighting off illnesses of his dear
ones, while his neighbor of similar in
come, may not have an illness in the
house all year Yet both must pay equal
ly. Or the living costs in one community
may be far greater than the living costs
in another, but residents in each must
pay according to the same scale. Or one
worker at task which demands very
little of him other than effort, and make
the same wage as another who, because
of company responsibility or need of
meeting the public, must spend hundreds
of dollars for appearances" or the neces-
sary social contact.
The Revenue law cannot be completely
fair any more than any universal law is
completely equitable. That's the mean
ing of the phrase claws are made to be
broken.
We commend Senator Bones inten-
ton, but urge he go much further and
right the many more fragrant wrongs
of this act and countless others.

primaries and general election. The death Strug-
gle will take place in the Democratic National
Convention in 1910 and in the events leading up
to the selection of delegates.
o
My personal view is that it Is well the issue
is becoming clear-cut. The President appears
TO be irrevocably committed to a vast extension
of federal authority.
To carry out the program OF ruling the ma
ton by bureaus set up in Washington, whose
members minds would go along with the Presi-
dents on every point, two things appeared neces-
sary The first the President thought he had
securely within his grasp-a Congress that would
pass tailor-made bills laid before it.
The second requirement was more difficult.
There must be end to the independent Su-
preme Court The President struck boldly for
that objective, and then miracle came to pass.
An aroused public opinion galvanized Senate
opposition. The court was saved.
Therein lies the key to the future. Public
opinion, l have no doubt, is still strongly with
the President-when he is the right track
SO is the Congress. But the days of blind
following of a leader are about over. If the
President realizes this in time, good deal can
be done to weld the party together. If he con-
tinues in his present mood, if he goes forth
to wreak vengeance on those who dare TO oppose
his headong graspng for power, there will be
such smashup OF party machinery as has not
been seen for long time.

consin Progressive, forecasts the rise of new
political party unless the mandate of economic
problems is carried out.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
No Recess in Public School of Experience


mentS are too easily waved aside
by politicians with references to the
great price the nation has to pay
for the salvation of the happiness
and prosperity of 130,000000 peoeple.
But the truth is that every citizen
is paying directly or indirectly for
this salvation, and if a man can't
get it all paid off in a lifetime,
his children will have to finish the
job
The eXasperatng ease with which
public money is spent may be trac-
ed not only in national government,
but through state, county and city
administrations as well. The habit
is not necessarily confined to one
party or one periord. 1t just seems
to turn up when the man who. has
to take it on the chin-and on ths
pocketbook- his guard drop.
The whole moral is that the pub
| lie should maintain its defense by
making its elected representatives
public servants in fact as well as
in Fourth of July oratorical fan
! tastes.
When Congress appropriates
more than 100000 900 for military
purposes and more than $50000O,-
600 for navy purposes, the voter
should know why. Probe into the
reasons behind state tax increases;
ferret out the cause for the higher
county levy or the boost in street
car rates, or whatever it may be
that is costing more. If you aren't
satisfied with the answers, smoke
out the truth. And if your public
servant won't cooperate, elect one
who will.
Here are bigger problems than
ever, tumbling right out of every
weekly pay envelope And the way
to face them is still being taught
in that big, free school of practical
experience.
