tX>R THE RE1HBLIC
Many of the opponents of natioua
preparedness assume that it is a
propaganda inspired by munition
and armament interests tor f inane ia
gain, and do not take> the trouble to
▼erify or disprove their suspicions.
Rer. George E. Hunt, pastor of the
Christ Presbyterian church at Madi
son, Wis., instituted an inquiry
along this line, and the information
received was helpful to him, as it
saould be to others Similarly situ
ated.
The national preparedness com
mittee assured Mr. Hunt that its
propaganda work had no financial
help from munition or armament in
terests; that its funds are small and
have been contributed by citizens
about the couutry who desire that
the nation be able to l rotect itself
from aggression; that the salaried
officers of the committee number
two; that taore are uo large
or corporate iute. ests assisting the
committee. Men who witnessed the
breakdown of civilization across the
sea are determined to raise a bar
rier against a like fate to this couu
try, and these are assisting the
commit'ee in the work by small cou
tributions.
"Our national policy of unpre
paredness," writes the secretary of
the committee, "instead of making
for peace, has always made for war
and has invariably caused needl ss
slaughter cf himesi meu, the de
struction of homes and a waste of
money that succeeding generations
w:ll have to pay."
Mr. Ford was ob-ees d with the
vision tnat the preparedness cam
paign was the speculative venture
of selfish Interests, and that the
European war was instigated from
the same source, and it test him a
hal' million of dollars to lo6e his
illusion.
American citizei.s uuv© uo ox
cuso for remaining i^..oiuut of tha
moTiui; spirit of the preparedness
campaign, which is the desire of
patriotic American citizens to pro
tect their peaceful industry, the
security of their hemes and
families and the euduriug welfare
of this republic.—P. I.

UNCLE SAM HEATS HOMES
AT NOMINAL FIGURE
Washington, Jan. 24 — The gov
i eminent is selling electricity for
heating purposes a astonishingly
low lates in. the thriving Idaho
towns of Rupert and Burley where
three out of every four buildings
aud homes, large and mall, are
being heated by electricity. Cur
rent for $1 to $1.25 a month a
kilcwat of capacity is teing sup
plied as a by product from the gov
ernment's water-power plant In
stalled by the reclamation service
on the Mindoka reclamation pro
ject. The primary purpose of the
plan* located at the diversion dam
on the Ssiake river near Mindoka i
to pumo water for the irrigation of
about 50,000 acres of laud too high
to be covered by gravity canals. The
water has to be lifted about 70 ft
and to do this 10,000 horsepower
are required during the summer ir
rigation season. In winter, how
ever, the greater part of this pow
er would be wasted were It not for
the development of electric heat
ing and this accounts tor the low
rates charged by the government
for uower. The revenue from heat
in? would show a loss If heating
were tbe only purpose of the plant.
Sold as a by-product from an In
stallation required for o\er pur
poses electric heat is hel^Vig to
carry the cost of Operation as well I
as .serving the cause of conserva- I
