The Chamber of Commerce turned Reynolds down because, according to Reynolds, the railroads had ted money to its funds. _ Maybe the chamber’s way makes for efficiency, judge, but it would take considerable of a spyglass ior us to sce it. 1 make efficiency impossible in a commercial body ve You Registered?

The average taxpayer has never objected to the necessary cost of carrying on the government. But he is going to object to shouldering the extra burden of enormous profits which the private jufacturers of munitions are already planning to heap on him. Once he knows how he has been gouged in ‘fe past, he is going to find the one way out—which is NNMENT MANUFACTURE of preparedness equipment. The very best reasons why the United States should make all the wa to dollars and cents. _ The government today is paying 53 cents a pound for smokeless powder which it can manufacture if at 25 cents a pound. The war department has paid the armor ring facture the identical article for $7.94. The war department in 1913 purchased 7,000 of the 4,7-inch shrapnel shells from the ammunition paying $25.26 each. At the same time precisely the same article was being manufactured in a vernment plant at a cost of $15.45 r material it requires can be o $17.50 for common 3.8-inch shrapnel when it could 5 Ten official estimates have been made as to the cost of armor plate. The average estimate is 38.64 a ton. Since 1887 we have purchased 217,379 tons of armor, paying the armor ring an aver- of $440.04 a ton. If this had been manufactured in government plants, it would have saved Amer- taxpayers at least $35,000,000. Four firms which have practically a monopoly of large army and navy contracts on orders amount- to $175,000,000, have been paid from 20 to 60 per cent more than the same wares could have been jufactured for in government arsenals and navy yards. Figures can be made to lie, but these figures Jo not lie. Could there be better arguments for the government manufacture of its preparedness equipment? ANYHOW, SOME red hot Mex. resolutions are into the senate’s cold storage plant, the honorable tee on foreign relations. MORE SHIPBUILDING than at any other time in the history of the United States.
