WAR'S HUGE COST TO SPEED PEACE j Prolonged Struggle Would Be , Financial Disaster. BILLIONS HAVE BEEN SPENT Nation 1'ivolvtd Bslievsd to Have Thought Confllot Would Bo Com paratively BriefAlready Burdanod With Old Dabto of tho earn Kind. I Thalr Induatriaa Paralyud, On of (lis moat powerful elements that la at work today fur Mia scttle ninit of tliu great European war la tbe appalling coat of the UUnlo couOtct It con bo only matter or time ontU Tory on of tho warring powers U em barrassed fluanclnllr. It la not asaum lng too much, as 7a tho Waahtngtoo I'ost, to any that each of tho nation, with Ita groat armament, believed that war, when It came, would bo of brief duration, that tbo stupendous coat and tho terrible Iom of Ufa wrought by modern war machinery would bring any conflict to a quick termination. Tbo Immense war appropriation! of the combatant, huge aa they are, will be only more bagatelle if the war la prolonged. Germany at the outset ap propriate 1 1,230.0U0.000. franco on tbo aaine day sot aside more than OUO.000,000, and the llrltlnh parllamont voted $500,000,000, following thU up ubaequoutly with another appi-oprta- Uon of the same amount. Itiuula has not made known what abe epproptt a led, but It is safe to say that the grand total of the European war funds Toted by all the belllgaronts Is near f,- 000,000,000. Beveral European experts In such matters have estimated that the war la now coating the combatants fOO.OOO, 000 a day. Some Frenchmen hare cal culated that It la coating France alone $.0,000,000 dally. Loom Mllllone of Workers. Industry of every sort la bard bit by the withdrawal of the thousands. and In this war millions or men are taken from the Odds, shop and fac tories and placed la uniform to shoot each other. Such producing power aa remains Is utilised la making the ma- t trials of war,' anna, ammunition, clothing and rood for the armies. In France the official estimate of tbo rental v&luo or prlrato structures, bnmea, store, mills, hotels and the like Is about 70S,000,000 annually. If, there fore, I'.'O.OOO.OUO a day Is required for the French army now In the field, the value or tho reutals or the nation fur a whole year was licked up In thirty six days. Debts From Past War. Already the older countries of Eu rope stagger under enormous debts in curred In similar manner In previous wars. France bears tho heaviest bur den of public debt, amounting to about 0JS0.0U0,0U0. Great Britain come next, with about $3,500,000,000. Tho debt or the German empire U only a little more than f l.OOO.OOO.OOO, but this Is been 110 tho empire Is only about forty five years old, and the Im mense debts or Its component parts are till borne by the separate states. Austria-Hungary has a debt or about $L 000,000,000. According to the most available fig ures, the annual debt chargea of Franco amount to $255,000,000; Great Britain. $120,000,000; Austrlallungary. $110,000,000, and the German empire, $(12,000,000. Tbo national debt of Russia amount to about $4,550,000,000, on which the annual charges amount to some $207. 000,000; but, unlike the other great powers, Ilusalu'a debt was not entirely Incurred buying powder and ball, but , represents to a large extent productive works, like tho TrniiHHlberlnn railway and similar undertakings.

E LOVETT, County Agriculturist Redmond, Oregon 7-9-lmo The Journal is Cheap at $1.50 a year MRS. ABIGAIL SCOTT DUN1WAY ISSUES AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC It kaa beea brought to my attention that the Antl-Satoon League, fol lowing tbo tarn tactic It tuu followed in every campsiga heretofore, is trying to besmirch this organization and to carry on a vicious campaign of ootruth. No name teems to be too good to be dragged into the mod by than. I have reliable information that a ststement Ills been made to the AatkSaloon League and to the Committee of One Hundred by Mrs. Cors C TaOxxt, former secretary of the Taxpayers' and Wage-Earners' League, that she was brought into this work by m under the impression thst it was a Women's Suffrage movement, and ber duties would be those of a physicim while I made speeches throughout ths state. I slso understand that Mn, Tslbort makes the statement that funds hare been collected with out anihority, and in some wsy the Brewers' Aisocistion hss been collect ing tbes fund. These two statements are absolutely untrue. The collec tion of fundi was authorised by me aa president, and the secretsry was ordered to have a letter sent out in connection with this work. I under stand that Mrs. Talbott, m this purported letter, in the bsnds of the Anti Saloon League and the Committee of One Hundred, ststes thst she ob jected to the raising of funds under her signature as secretsry. How did the good lady think the work of this league wss to be carried on? Why did the think Mr. Borumeyer, csshier of the Scsndinavisn-Americsn Bank, was appointed treasurer of this leaguer Did she think we would sik the brew ers to put op the money surreptitiously? If so, she reckoned Without her boat. I have always fought in the open, and now, in my 80th year, and probably in my last campaign, I do not intend to change the principles I have always fought for, nor depsrt from my honesty of purpose in advo cacy of equal right for all the people by no means excluding women, for whose interests I have spent my life to obtain the ballot. My chief con cern in their behalf has always been to secure for them their economic in dependence, as married mothers within the home, which slone will enabls any woman to quit the business of marrying inebriates or raising drunkards. The moneys collected are in the hsnds of Tressurer Bortzmeyer, and all those who have donated have received a letter acknowledging receipt thereof. Any one so desiring may inquire from our treasurer as to whether the money has been put in his bands, and I am quite sure he will sdvlse tkesn of receipt of their donation. If there is any one who has paid their aaoney Into this organization under misapprehension ss donation for carry ing on this work, this league will be only too glad to refund it It is indeed strange thst Mrs. Talbott thought this wss a Suffrsge move ment when she went to the Portland Hotel, engaged the dining-room for our first luncheon for organization and arranged for the payment of this luncheon, and went so far aa to get speakers to express their views against Prohibition. The real break between Mrs. Talbott and myself was csused when I tound out that she hsd gone to the Brewers' Association snd told them she eoold be of good service to them in connection with this league, and asked and received a salary from the Brewers' Association on the ground that she was putting in ber time and needed the money. On the 26th of August a meeting wss held between Mrs. Talbott and myself for the purpose of get ting matters straightened out before starting the general organization. At this meeting a statement wss signed by myself as president and Mrs. Tal bott as secretary that the two letters sent out by myself, ss well as the let ter seat out by the publicity department, were approved. This statement ended with the sentence: "After discussing generally the affairs of the league, tie officers ratified 1J work that had been done up to date by the pubUrity bnroan and officers of the association." ' I have Bred in this state for 60 years, during all of which time I have tolled and worked for the people of my state, and I am willing to leave it to tho public to decide as to whether I would lend myself in any way to any organization or any act that could be construed as anything but honorable. Every one in this stats knows Mrs. Duniway snd her family. I wish further to say that if the oocasioo arises snd I deem it necessary to go further into Ibis matter, I will be gUd to publish some additional facts in these same papers not necessary to publish now, and will meet the conditions as they arise. 11 the Anti-Saloon Lesgue, by its paid foreign agitators or Commit tee of Oae Hundred, think they can becloud this issue by trying to drag into the mud my name or others, they are very much mistaken. I expect to carry this work on to the conclusion of this campaign, and then allow the people to judge as to whether we will control our own affairs in the State of Oregon or allow the paid agitators of the East to show us what to do, wwd) Afoigrfi Scott Duniway (Paid AaverUt 7 TW., Earners' In. of Oron. 2 Eureka Weeders with grass feeder attachments 1 Portable Platform Scales 1 Donald Pities Wagon Scales 1 Hand Cultivator 16 Double Disks for Drill 16 Alfalfa Reducers for Drill at the Redmond Lumber & se.
