BOARD IS READY FOR THE FUTURE War will Function after. iod of R ; Pct of Leaders in the. National Capital WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—In the +: task of internal reconstruction | the war, the War Industries seems certain to continue in pee and play a large part in| he transformation of war manufac- | nn back to peace time production. one feature of the gove <« program for easing the’ na- business from the pitch of war! g it in the process. Ina sense, | program is tentative, because its | nulation has just begun. Never- | the planning for peace is giv- | the government agencies in, ngton these days material for as systematic thot as the prosecution | of war. ae ustrial reconstruction, next to zation of the army, is prob-| the most important phase of | « plans. How to stop the manu-| ure of shells, of guns, of army | navy supplies, without stopping | industrial wheels which made and to furnish new work for these wheels, is a problem which! agencies of the War Industries board | will be called ong to solve, This means that the hundreds of indus- trial and commercial leaders who} have been called to Washington will have to continue their services for essential peace work, or substitutes | for them be found. Manufacturing plans which now look to the War Industries Board | for assistance*in obtaining materials | and which in turn comply with the| forceful suggestions of the board ventually, will call on some govern-| ment agency to guide them during) the process of facing about toward peace production, The War Indus-| tries board is the only agency equip-| ped with the machinery and supplied with the information to give this guidance. For that reason, the offi- cials in closest touch with the cur- rents of ideas within the government insist that the War Industries board will continue to exist indefinitely after the war, regardless of when the war ends. Officials intimate that means will be found of continuing the current plans for eliminating strikes, giving labor greater voice in. the manage-| ment of industrial pjantgyand_ off ex. | tending both labor a jer- ations to promote collective bargain- ing. They suggest that the govern- ment, thru the War Finance corpora- tion, may aid in the conversion of | industries from war to peace footing, reversing the existing priority of war rises, Railroad transportation, industrial production and ocean ship- ‘ ping must be co-ordinated and super-| vised for a few years after peace) comes as they have been during the| war, in the opinion of government leaders. Employment agencies, uni-| versities and schools, churches and other social organizations must co- operate to facilitate the placing of returned soldiers in the occupations where they are best fitted and most needed. To do all this, it is the belief in many official circles in Washington that the government agencies which have sprung up during the war must continue to function for an indefinite time ‘afterward. These include the War Industries board, Shipping board, War Trade board, Food and Fuel administrations, War Labor board, and the War Labor Policies board, numerous divisions of the Council # National Defense, War Fi © Corporation, and many other cted agencies, The Railroad ad- ‘stration has 21 months to live after peace is signed, unless future ‘egislation should change existing plans for restoration of railroads to Vavete control.

The budget is cut despite salary increases. The cost of operating the municipal court is reduced.” (Report of city of Portland, Oregon, October 13, 1917.) . There are some folks who are still being deceived and really think that it pays to grant men for monetary consideration the privilege of de- bauching their fellow citizens and taking out of the- community from ten to fifty dollars for every dollar returned. Portland's’ experience is that prohibition does not increase taxes. But even if it’ did, are there any fathers and mothers in Wyom- ing who have children whom they, | would willingly give to become the finished product of the saloon? If 80, such a person can conscientiously vote “wet” but if not they should not vote to make another’s offspring that which they-are not willing their own shall become. Are you willing for the sake of reducing your taxes, to vote for the sending of your child, brother, or sister to the penitentiary, the jail, the insane asylum or the world of outcasts? If not, then we should not vote to continue a traffic that is doing much to fill these inati- tutions. Prohibition reduces taxes because it produces law abiding citizens and thus reduces crime. In the city of Portland, Oregon, during the year 1915 whieh was the last year under the license system there were 20,247 arrests, of these: 6,727 were for drunkenness. During the year 1917, under prohibition, there were 11,110 arrests and only 1,212 were for drunkenness. In other words prohi- —, bition reduced the arrests for drunkenness 75 per cent and for vag- rancy 60 per cent. Commitments to the state penitentiary decreased 25 per cent under prohibition. The superintendent of the Oregon insane asylum says, “The enactment of prohibition accounts for the fall- ing off in number received as the direct result of, alcoholic intemper- ance. During nine months preced- ing prohibition, 25 men were received whose insanity was due to alcohol, while during the first nine months after prohibition only ten men were admitted whose insanity resulted from this cause.” Now the question follows, Who pays the expense for the conducting of county jails, state penitentiaries, and insane asylums? Not alone the cities who receive the license money from the factories (saloons) that turn out ‘the product that fills these institutions, but the farmers, stockmen, mine operators, in fact all taxpayers. In the state of Wyoming not one cent of revenie is received from the liquor traffie except by the incor- porated towns. While all the tax- payers mrust pay for the care of the saloon’s finished products. Is it right for thé taxpayers of the incor- ported towns and cities to foster an inst{tution and «receive its license money, and thus force the country districts to help bear the burden of caring for those whose prospects are ruined and who are made charges of the county or state for the sake of license money received by the incor- porated cities? - The voters of Wyoming will an- swer this question on November 5th when they “VOTE THE CONSTI- TUTIONAL AMENDMENT BAL- LOT FIRST. WYOMING DRY BY NOON ON ELECTION DAY.” HE WON’T SALUTE BUT IS THERE WITH STIFF PUNCH FOR THE HUN WHEN FIGHTING IS ON PROGRAM, [By United Press) PARIS, Oct. 4. (By Mail.}—‘‘The Chief” has smiled for the second time since he came to France—and it is the talk of the —th infantry. “The Chief” is Private Ross, a full- blooded Ute Indian. About a year ago he threw up his job herding! sheep in the barren hills of southern Arizona, walked 50 miles down to Bisbee, “rode the rods” to El Paso and enlisted. In the training camp he was nicknamed “The Chief.” }reech There also it was discovered that “The Chief’ had unusual! scouting ability—both hereditary and ac- quired. ‘a He was assigned as a battalion scout, That’s when he smiled the first time. Chief Ross is hardly a model soldier. He hardly ever salutes an officer and says “Ugh” for “Yes, sir” and shakes his head for “No, sir.” Altho he has a fair command of Eng- lish he talks very little. Once only he was detected saluting an officer-— that was when he had gone to the officer three times to ask for a leave pass. The third time he saluted. But “The Chief” wiped out all the little black marks for sins of omission in the fighting up on the Vesle. A lone machine gun in a stone building about 200 yards in front of. the Americans was holding up the| advance. It was broad daylight—3| o'clock in the afternoon. Thg task of silencing the machine gun was given to “Chief” Ross and a picked|sented them to the lieutenant he! patrol of three other men. | The patrol disappeared into the brush with “The Chief” leading, | with his pistol ready and two hand} grenades in his hip pockets. The em- | placement was “spotted” in the up- per window of the stone house. Two men were left out in front in the bushes to draw the fire of the gun, while Ross stealthily worked up to- ward gne side of the building, and! his companion on the other. Ross! crawled up to the side of the build-) unobserved, and edged around to | where he could see the muzzle of the jcloudy. machine gun protruding from the window. Two seconds later a well- placed grenadé burst in the room with the Germans, killing two and shattering the machine gun. The surviving German executed a strate- gic retreat thru the rear window and slid down to the ground behind the building where he would be protected by another machine gun further back It was sure death to try to the running German from either side of the building. The German was cunning but not so cunning as “The Chief.” He swung himself up to the window and crawled rapidly up to the roof toward the ridge-pole. From that point of van- tage he could see the enemy without danger to himself. Three shots stopped the fleeing boche. That was when “The Chief” smiled the second time, the boys of the —th infantry declare. Some of them aver |that ‘The Chief” emitted the Ute warwhoop, surprising the Germans so much they stopped firing for a few minutes. Once before the incident on the | Vesle, so the boys say, “The Chief” almost smiled. A lieutenant expressed a desire for a pair of German field glasses within the hearing of Ross, That night he went out and came back within 40 minutes with a fine pair of German glasses. As he pre- merely said “Heap easy,” and almost smiled. —_———_——.
