Observation and study of the| naval policies of foreign countries |bas convinced myself and other members of the general board that in 1920 the United States should have 48 battleships of the first class with the necessary lesser units and auxiliaries, with person- nel to man them on a war basis at all times. For every eight battleships there/ | should be 32 destroyers, 16 sub- marines, one ammunition ship, two | destroyer tenders, four fuel ships, [one hospital ship, one repair ship, two submarine tenders, one sup ply ship, one transport. To these, with the present state of develop ment, should be added at least 16 aeroplanes. To carry out this policy {t would be . equired that there be laid down each year until the full Meet of 48 battleships is completed, four bat tleships, 16 destroyers, §& b- marines, § aeroplanes and 6 aux iltartes. WOULD HURT, SAYS CLARENCE DARROW No! All the right thinking people tn the world are do ing all they can to get rid of armies and navies, and why should we want to go ahead and build them up? The United | States is so far from every other country that eedlhciarenss Derrow endanger us it } would be easy to organize an army before harm was done by the in a strong army or navy would do for now would be to make enemies, and put ourselves in the way of the peaceful evolu- tion of society. CLARENCE DARROW, Noted Lawyer and Labor Lead J. HAM LEWIS SEES | WAR WITH THE JAPS| Japan is serving England, France and Russia in this war with a pur pose in view. When the war is over she can legitimately claim the aid of her present allies in forcing us to ad- mit her people to this country. Mexico and the Panama canal open new international complica- tions. Japanese possess large interests) in Mexico. Remember, too, that Japan re-| fused to renew her treaty with us.| The next prestdential tion | will not be carried on the question of trusts, or currency, or the tariff, but on the basis of a far graver problem.

Net ther can we er ate an army and navy right off the reel. Some of | the Spanish war volunteers were not mobilized until after the war | was ended. We need a larger army and a| larger navy, and more efficiency in | both branches. We bring up our! boys to believe the United States can lick the world.

It would prove a serious mistake to continue developing the military establishment.

WHAT MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP HAS DONE IN AUSTRALIAN CITIES ‘The following article om municipal ewnership has been written for The Star |ty the noted Baa %, White, who has been visiting in the city during the past few days. Mr. White gives « clear analysis of the basis for public ership and coneretel lustrates the bewefite it deri tralia and the fourth om muntetpal o By JOHN Z. WHITE In considering whether pub- Me ownership of public uttilt- ties is best, it is necessary first to call attention to the fact that apparently there is no dispute over the dispost- tion of atlas, schools, parka, sewers, fire and police facili- ties, ete. These utilities, of course, should be publicly owned and operated because no profit is to be derived. The ‘Actress B:coming Rival of Asnette Kellerman A Venus of the Sea Mabel moving picture actress, the leading parts in the famous Key- Normand, the beautiful who takes atone comedies, is fast becoming a rival of Annette Kellerman as Venus of the sea. In “The Sea Nymphs,” another of the two-reel Keystone specials, being shown at the Class A theatre this week, Mabel does some swimming diving with her lion, as well as some feats under the water that are ex tng ploture at Santa Catalina Islands and stunts tremely intere The was taker und nher of expert swimmers and divers are also shown In fancy stunts, Mabel has “ and always attracts @ big crowd when at the beach. ‘some shape” superiority of priv: owner ship is always coincident with profit. This, of course, is a scientific mode of “distinguish- ing.” It is held by some of our citizens that the office of gov- ernment is to regulate the movements of the various ele- ments of which the community {fs composed, and to promote the diverse interests for the good of all. Men must work to get food, clothing, etc. and to that end some grow wheat, some grow cotton, some corn, some dig metals, and others cut wood, manufacture various articles, and so on—and then they swap products. In this process of swapping or trading, men must cross the surf of the earth, as is every man’s natural right. Still no one has the right to go through another's wheat field or flower garden, Tt is this simple physical condition that gives rise to the right of the community to establish a common path or “right-of-way.” In short, government has quite definite reasons for its exercise of authority, rather than the ha and indefinite ones so frequently voiced in apology for manifest monopoly Words of uncertain meaning are the joy of aristocrats and of courts of equity, Now the power of govern- ment may be delegated to a corporation to administer and operate a right of way utility, but that power or authority may never rightfully become a “property” {nhering in indl- viduals, That is, may not be- come private property We must recognize that right-of-way grants are not property, but are lcenses or permits; that the Judicial hab. it of treating these grants as property must cease—or, we must come to public owner- ship and operation. If left in private hand Mc utflities should pay taxes, but their charges should be lowered until they pay but a fair return on their physical valuation Some facte—Anstralia is about the size of the United States, and its population is about one-twentieth of our country, and inhabits the const land only, from the northeast around to east, south and west, the oenter being largely desert. Under govern ment ownership, it sends 16 words by telegraph to any part of the island for 24 cents, to any part of the same state for 18 cents, to any part of the elty or its environs for 12 cents. Compare rates in Unit- ed States. New Zaaland, under govern- ment ownership, sends 809 messages per year for each 100 inhabitants, The United States 110. New Zealand sends 93 letters per year per capita, The United States 101, The telegram is cheaper and quicker in New Zealand. New Zealand sends 12 words 900 miles for 12 cents, New York to Chicago 10 words 50 cents, London to Glasgow 12 words 12 cents, New York to Roch- ester 35 cents. Evansville, Ind., cents for gas. Til, 70 cents. Coal costs 66 cents per ton less at Evans- ville, and the plants are con- trolled by the same company. Many volumes can be filled with facts all to the same ef- fect. BEWARE HIGH STEP; MEANS MANY ACHES CHICAGO, Nov. 20.—The 18-inch | Street car step is an advance agent| of death in disguise, according to; | Osteopaths in Chicago, who have commenced a crusade to pull the 18-inch car step down to six or ten inches of the ground. “The high street car step is a menace to health,” says Dr. Joseph H. Sullivan, who leads the “low- step” crusade. “If the public knew how much of its sciatica and lum- bago was caused by that high step, public sentiment would soon lower the steps of the street cars, not only in Chieago, but the country over, for other street car systems it as bad in this respect as pays 95 Springfield, Marguerite Snow of the Than- houser company {s married to Jas.
