Presumably the naval pact,

its own affairs, because Britain
cannot afford to compete with
us in expenditures, but can cut

1014, when she had the money,
ask our advice about . IEpR

She did not. She built, the

openly announcing her inten

opowerful as any' other two
fleets combined. She had it.
Now she can't afford it.
Uncle Sam can afford it. But

With revolt ngainst Huston crys
tallizing at the capital, In view of
his seeming unwillingness to re

against Senator Moses of New

senatorial campaign committee,
who is believed by some senators
to be allied with Huston in his
stand against the opposition.

approached by a number of sena

Huston. Ho would not estimate
how many.

Tape Blamed for Delay
Court Backs Engineer.
Jackson county this morning be
gun lite trucking of machinery for
its roud oil heating plant Iron) tho
ninth end of the city to the south
end because the Postal Telegraph
company pole In the middle of a
Southern Pacific railroad spur
light of way, as yet has not been
unraveled Irom & mass of red tape.
The county Is caused considerable
oxpense by the trucking, but It 1h
necessitated In order lo expedite
the work.
"As soon as tho plant 1b installed
und ready for heating the oil, I cm
going to rent a lineman and move
that pole, come what may," said
County Kngineer Paul Rynulng this
morning. The county court backs
him In this attitude, but no one
ugreed "to help pull one end ot the
saw to cut It down."
County officials further said that
the road oiling program had been
delayed by Inability to move the
pole themselves or Induce anybody
else to do It
The county secured permission
from the Richfield Oil company to
move the pole," ub it is on their
'Property, and offered to move1 tho
polsi at county expense uuder the
supervision ot the Postal Telegraph
company, but the proposition was
rejected.
Legal Obstacle
In the opinion ot county officials
"the nigger In the telegraph pole"
Is a legal one, the telegraph com
pany desiring to Becure an ease
ment on the right of wy from the.
Richfield Oil company, which would
take about 00 days In the ordinary
speed of procedure. . This Is too
long for the county to wait to start
its road oiling program, ' .
"I received a telegram from It.
R. Patton, superintendent ot the
Pacific Coast division ot the Pos
tal Telegraph company, stating
that the company was not stand
ing in tile Way of progress, but the
pole Is still where It has been for
many yoars. The Richfield Oil
company gave me permission to
move the pole, so they are not to
blame," said Engineer Rynnlng.
"The oil company don't give a darn
what happens to the pole."
The county engineer said : the
moving ot the pole was a simple
Job.
It was expected that the heavy
oiling, of the unpaved portion ot
the Ruch highway and the Sams
Valley highway would be complet
ed before the Fourth ot July travel
until the pole controversy started.
Fear More Delay
The Ollmore Oil company sur
mounted a similar difficulty in run
ning a spur to their property by
twisting a pole In their road until
It pointed toward Jacksonville, In
stead ot the sun, permitting a clear
ance for oil tank cars.
. The pole Issue waa a subject ot
an Informal discussion at the regu
lar meeting of the county court
today, largely devoted to the trans
action of routine business.
The Postal Telegraph company
declares it Is not responsible for
the non-removal ot the pole, the de
lay being caused solely by the pro
visions of the law regarding such
matters which the company must
observe. )
