Besides, y on the Pacific, oil is easier Our older ships also need re-boil rn protection against submarine: airplanes. Meaning of Elevation More important than anything is the matter of gun ation. Our ir present eleva- tion, have about a 20,000-yard range. At the time of the war, when they were anxi to have the news get out and s e the Germans, British naval offi told ours that, by in- creasing their elevation, they'd in- cre ce to 30,000 yards. They deny it now because they don’t want to increase ours; if they ha advantage they prefer to keep it. Many people beli protested diplomatically against any increased elevation of American guns. This isn't true,, Through her propaganda, England has tried to givé the impression that she has protested, hoping thus to make Am- ericans think their navy would be breaking the armament limitation treaty by increasing their gurts’ range. In fact, she hasn't protest- ed, having no ground for doing so. How We Stand Formerly hits could be made only by accident beyond 20,000 yards, but that was before the days of airplane spotting. i Italy, France and Japan have re- spectively 8, 9 and 10 capital ships. Of high-speed light cruisers under 10 years old the five powers have: America 7, reat Britain 35, Japan 13, ance 3 and Italy 5. They are building respectively 3, 4, 12, 3 and none. None of them is up to the “*5-5-B-1.75-1.75" basis except Japan. Of modern destroyers America has 274, Great Britain 196, Japan 63, France 21 and Italy 32. They are building respectively none, 5, 31, 18 and 7. Of long-radius submarines above 1000 tons, America has 3, Great Bri- tain 10, Japan 2 and neither France nor Italy any at all. They are building respectively 3, none, 23, 9 and none, Of coast defense submarines Am- eri as 78, Great Britain 22, Japan 31, France 24 and Italy 10. They are building respectively 15, , 18, 12 and none. Japan Meets Quota In the matter of long-radius sub- marines all the powers:are short of the basis except Japan, and matter of the ve England has in tl ‘coast defense type all are short of it except Japan and France. Of airplane carriéfs: America has 1 and is building 2, Great Britain has 3 and is building 3, Japan has none and is building 2, France has none and is building 1 and Italy neither has nor is she building any. " As for the strength of the respect- ive navies, in the various classes of craft, the figures shown on the accompanying diagram speak for in so far as figures can. 's shortcomings in the matter of capital ships has been |pointed out. Her destroyers, too, by reason of hurried war-time constrac- tion, have not the strength that the figures indicate.

At that time the state was sending thousands of -dollars cut of the state for Pennsyl- vania coal, but this act now keeps those “thousands” «af home, thus protecting and aid- ing the development 6f one of our leading home industries— our lignite coal mines. Erastus A. Williams ren- dered great service to the state, when, as a member of the constitutional convention, he caused to be resérved from sale all lands granted the state, under the enabling act, that bore lignite coal, thus in- suring for all time to the peo- ple of the state a cheap fuel supply. Wé find on page 603 of the debatés of fhe. consti- tutional convention, the fol- lowing proceédings : Mr. Williams moved to amend See, 155 of the consti- tution by adding at the end thereof, the following words: “The coal lands of the’state shall never be sold, but the legislative assembly may by general laws provide for leas- ng the same. The words ‘coal lands’ shall inelude lands bearing lignite coal.” Mr. Williams said “At the Present time these coal. lands are regarded as ‘not posses- sing any great value, but it is a. fact that they, are ‘being en ht up by syndicates, and a.matter of looking. to the future I think it would be well to reserve these lands from sale in order to protect the fuel supply, and allow the state of the future to lease them. It seems to me under sch rules and regulations as the legislatite may prescribe, it would be wise to protect these lands and allow the title to remain ‘in the state.” Mr. ‘ Williams’ amendment was adonted, and the section as amended was adopted. _ The Homestead sincerely be- lieves that should Mr. Wil- liams prove to he the choice of the maiority of the electors of the state;' his veiirs of exnéri- atlas legislative aattees, is lon? rexidénte here ren- deving hin fithifior, with the ants and need’ of our. ped- fé. together with his general ability and integrity, would render the fair stete of North Leeann able afd honorable .

WILLIAMS, REPUBLICAN CAN state legislatures and‘ consti- tutional convention, and pre- sents a brief review of Gen- éral Williams’ record. It is a creditable one: and not half told. . The Homestead cails atten- tion to the conserving of the natural resources, wherein the General saved to the peo- ple of this state a cheap fuel supply, and-in view of the fact that President Roosevelt has called a conference of the gov- ernors of all the states to take into consideration what should be done,in order that the coal and other natural re- sources of the country may be conserved for ie benefit of the people. Is not General Williams’ record on this point commendable, especially when it is known that about this time, J. J. Hill acquired the valuable ore deposits of thé state of Minnesota for a mere trifle, and Weyerhauser ac- quired control of the pine lands of the nation for a song? The lignite coal deposits of | our state at that time, like the ore lands of Minnesota, and the pine lands of the country, were considered inexhaustible and their conservation un- thought of. Our, state geolo- gist estimates that on every acre of land bearing a four and a half foot vein of lignite coal, 5,000 tons of lignite can be taken therefrom, and on every acre bearing a vein sev- en feet thick, 8,000 tons. A capitalist of national Yepute, recently based the value of certain lands he own- ed in this state bearing lignite coal at $750 to $1,200 per acre, by valuing the unmined lignite at 15 cents per ton. What public man has done more for the people of North Dakota than General Williams did by this one act? The.
