Social Plans
Economic,

It is our policy to retain the
ideals and detectives of our social
and economic programs in the face
of war changes. Because of the
defense effort some of these pro-
grams can be carried on at a
lower cost. In other cases. no
curtailment is possible without
sacrificing our detectives.
During this period of national
emergency it seems appropriate TO
defer construction projects that
interfere with the defense pro-
gram by diverting man power and
materials. Further, it is very wise
for us to establish a reservoir of
post-defense projects to help alb
sorb labor that later will be re-
leased by defense industry.
With this in mind, 1 am recon-
mending reductions for rivers and
harbors and flood-control work.
Where possible, without placing
the projects or the water users
thereof in jeopardy, reductions
are proposed in the expenditures
for reclamation projects.
1 have recommended funds for
power and other projects consid-
cred essential to national defense.
Projects under construction, or
on which bids have been solicited,
will 60 forward to completion.
The defense program will lead
to further unemployment, but
even under the full defense pro-
gram we cannot expect full alb
sorption of the labor force because
some people just cannot be fitted
into the picture.
l recommend an appropriation
of 1895, 100000 for work relief for
the full fiscal year. This is $780,
100000 less than the amount re-
quired for the present fiscal year.

Expenditures
Defense Plans,

SiXty-two per cent OF the eX-
penditures proposed in this budget
are for national defense. No one
can predict the ultimate cost of a
program that is still in develop
ment, for no one can define the
future.
On the basis of the appropria-
tions and authorizations enacted
for national defense from June,
1910. up TO the present time, plus
the recommendations for supple
mentary appropriations and au-
thorizations for 1871 and the rec
concentrations contained in this
budget for 1912, we have a pro-
gram of S28,000,000000.
This defense program is summa-
rized as follows: appropriations,
authorizations. and recommends

The revenue for the fiscal year
1912 is expected to be $4,000, 900,

increase will come from the de-

Congress, the other half from the
increase in national income.

John Wesley Jones
Died Monday, Nov. 10

John Wesley 'Rhyming" Jones
rs, died at Georgetown hospital,
Monday morning after a long siege
of illness. Jones was a native of
Louisiana and long resident of
Seattle, Wash. About one year
ago through the untiring efforts
of the Rev. Judson Swancy, donors
of blood for the necessary trans
fusion to save his life, were
brought to the hospital. Jones sur
vived the threat of death, but his
attending physician said, "his end
will come within one year."
Untutored, Jones had a natural
gift for rhyming. Without any
effort, answers were frequently
given in poetic rhyming, oftimes
with the wit of a sage. Trans
planted and under favorable con-
ditions, his name might have gain
ed renown.
At the Angelus Mortuary, the
Rev. Judson w. Swancy conducted
his last rites, happy in the an
nouncement that the deceased long
since has left his soul in the care
of his Maker.
Mr.. James Tachell, owner of
Greenwood Cemetery at Renton,
Wash, in friendly gesture of
charity to Rev. Swancy, made it
possible for Jones to receive a
Christian burial.

Somewhat
ressive


Nothing exciting happened at
twenty-first and Madison last
week, that is, nothing of particular
unusualness.
There were only the slightly in
ebriated imbibers who were stag
gering neatly down Madison. There
were only the usual crowd of boys
whistling after the girls as they
passed.
There was a new Dodge with a
flat tire that went by raising
splard
There was the mother grimly
trying to rescue her son from the
taverns.
There were military policemen,
white military policemen, waiting
for a chance to beat up Negro
soldier or two.
But little else.
Last weekend, Seattle played
host to the Right Reverend E. Tho
mas Demby, the only colored BIZ
shop in the Episcopal church.
He was a very quiet fellow and
had way of putting one at his
ease upon approach.
There was no artificial stiffness
about the way he spoke or car
ried himself.
He had the faculty of putting
his points across without the rails
ing his hand or his voice.
Every Negro youth who can
fulfil the qualifications owes it to
himself and his community to con-
