REQUIRED ARMY TRAINING URGED BY SENATOR NEW Universal Military Training Proposed as National Policy by Indiana Senator, .' t (By A.nocUtqd Pras) . WASHINGTON, Jan. 3i: Universal lean youths as a permanent national policy Is proposed In a bill Introduced In the Senate today by Senator New of Indiana, Republican. Such a policy, the Indiana senator said In offering the bill "Provides the only guarantee against any occasion ot the maintenance" of a large regular army. "Training of not more than one year for all youths between 19 and 26 years limited to one continuous period and not divided year to year-r Is provided by the bill, which was referred to the senate military committee with suggestion by Senator New that it be laid before the army general staff for a report .at the next session of congress. . Under the bill all youths upon completion of the training period, as fixed by the presli dent would go into the national- reserve for call in case of necessity. Priority of service would be placed 'upon the youngest annual class. The plan was urged by Senator New as a national policy to be adopted as i eoon aa possible. He denied that universal training involves maintenance of a large standing army and declared it would prevent that situation. In

this connection he opposed tee war

department's plan for a temporary

domestio army of 500,000 men aa "neither necessary nor desirable."

Asserting that misconceptions re- ! garding universal training have arisen, : Senator New said: . Guarantees Preparedness "Universal training guarantees that the youth who is to be conscripted or who shall volunteer shall go prepared rather than that he shall be taken unprepared. It provides the only guarantee against any occasion for maintenance of a regular army of greater

proportion than the country need3 or

is wining iu euyyuru uuuer me uperatlon of this system the soldier is in reality a citizen, free to follow his chosen vocation except for the period required for his proper training. "We should have at all times some

thing like 200,000 men capable of being officers. I "Unless occasion comes, the citizen

army need never be mobilized but Its members will have the benefits that accrue from Judiciously applied physical tralninc. of dlscinline and the im

proved conceptions of citizenship that military training brings with it" - - Nucleus for Legislation.

'. In preparing Wb bill, Senator New said he had conferred with military

men In whose judgment he had con- - fidence, but explained that his measure should be regarded only as the nucleus for legislation rather than a

fixed feature. War department plana to extend the president's authority to hold men now in service. Senator New predicted, will prove unpopular with the American public. He urged that a

permanent policy of universal training be adopted as soon as possible, although conceding that action before

Explaining his bill, Senator New

said it proposes that In training

youths, they preferably should be called for the scheduled continuous training period In their nineteenth year. Those who are sole support for parents, wives or children .would be

excused unless the government should

contribute to their dependents during the training period. Men in training

would receive only nominal pay. The bill also provides for commissions for

twenty per cent of the youths trained up to the rank of Major or Lieutenant Colonel In the National reserve.

(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 31. The "situation

lota on the Clyde and in Belfast, where strikes are in process with wide-spread paralysis of Industry, be

came more serious today. In Belfast

manufacturing firms which were generating their own electric current for

power purposes had to close down their plant as the workers in the private electric installation Joined the

strikers. The blacksmiths, the boiler-

makers and the shlp-wrights decided to notify their employers that the conditions of settlement they ask should embody an increase of 30 per cent in the grosB earning powers of piecs workers. Along the Clyde corporation electricians struck, compelling the corporations to stop the current for public work, retaining such currents as they were able to generate for the use of the hospitals and for street lighting.

They Thought Living Was High Ten Years Ago; Pjices Twice as High Now

' Does anyone remember when prices i were actually low? Ten years ago today, on January 30, 1909, folks no doubt were complaining of the high and increasing cost of living.. Yet on that date prices for food and other means of living averaged from one-half to two-thirds : of -what we are - paying for the same things now. . On that date, for instance, you could buy country butter . for twenty-fice cents, and creamery for 34 scents per pound. Today, if you are still able to use butter instead of a substitute you will pay 60 cents for creamery and 50 cents for the home-made. ' . Young chickens could be bought for fifteen, old ones for, twelve-cents per pound, against 24 cents and 22 cents today. Potatoes - sell now forS1.75 a bushel; then, they sold the potatoes for the simple 75c and were glad to do it. - . When it came to feeding their stock, farmers ten years ago could buy hay for 111 to :, S12 , per ton, corn for 65 cents, oats for 45 cents, rye ' for 65 cents. Today.he has to pay $25 to $27 a ton for hay, $1.45 for corn,, 60 cents for oats, '$1.25 for; rye. T ! ", On the ; other hand, ; when he sells his stock, he gets for cattle on the average $9.28 s per- hundred pounds, against $4.45 ten years ago. -r.The average price which the farmer received for calves was-$6.38 a hundred pounds ten ' years ago, and today it: is $12.31 a hundred pounds. Sheep brought $4.54 a hundred pounds ten years ago, and today the average is $9.46 a hundred pounds.

Purchase of National Army Camps Advised WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Abandonment of fourteen of the sixteen national guard camps and purchase by the government of the sites of all national army cantonments, was urged yesterday by ; Secretary Baker and Assistant Secretary Crowell before the House Military Committee. ' Camp Kearney, Cal., and Camp Sevier, S. C, would be the two guard camps acquired by the government, with the others returning to land owners at the expiration of the present leases. ' The recommendations were made without regard to future military policy. Secretary Baker explained that he considered the acquisition of the land as solely a business proposition, and that regardless of the size of the future army it would be the policy of the war department to train men in large units instead of small ones as in the past.

Milch cows have Jumped from $43.41 a head to $85.78 a head. Onions which brought- 90 cents a bushel ten years ago today bring $1.32 a bushel., Beets sold for $2.29 a bushel and have jumped to $4.80 a bushel. The statistics show that "everything that goes ttr help produce ? foodstuffs has increased in- price along with the foodstuff p ltself.' For instance, . all feeds have more than doubled in price and, i of course, the farmer after all can show that his profits are not excessive. . ; Statistics recently collected show that every kind of machinery used on the . farm costs the farmer at least twice as much as it did ten years ago, ond In' some instances t three or four times as much. . So when the farmer comes to count up his net profits at the end of the year he is undoubtedly able to show that he is not the profiteer. . But whoever is making the increased money, the fact remains that the ultimate consumer is paying almost double the prices he paid ten years ago. In order to keep food on the table. FEDERAL BALKAN REPUBLIC URGED ROME, Jan. 31. A federal republic of the Balkans is the latest advanced plan for keeping the peaco among those firebrand nations. The plan,' according to reports received here, has been worked out by the Bulgarians, the draft proposing the inclusion in the republic ot Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, ; Herzegoxina, Montenegro and Slovenia. The idea, it is said, grows out of the historic associations of the Coburg dynasty.

REFEREIIDIir.1 FOil TAX Af.'EllOlT

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 31 An' amendment to the constitution providing for classification of property for taxation may be resubmitted to a vote of the people at a special election to be held in the near future, if the suggestion made by W. A. Greenlund, manager of ' the Ohio Taxpayers' league, is adopted by the legislature. The. legislature by a three-fifths vote may submit the proposed amendment to the voters at a special election and Greenlund expresses the hope that this will be done. - ' "The necessity for increased revenues for the state and - the various political subdivisions is apparent to every citizen," says Greenlund. "Classification of property for purposes of taxation was the only way

out, and at the same time preserved

the limitations in the Smith tax limit low. The school districts and municipalities will have to have more revenue in order to meet their requirements. "We do not believe voters of the

We hope that the present legislature will pass a resolution providing for classification of property for purposes of taxation and submit it to the vote of the people at a special election at an early date." It was said that the question might be submitted within five weeks for the adoption of a resolution authorizing it The classification amendment was adopted by vote of the people at the election last November, but .was held invalid by the supreme court because of conflict with the ' Shinn ' mortgage amendment adopted at the same time.' The Ohio State Grange at its conference .yesterday appointed a legislative committee to oppose the re-submission of the ' classification amendment either at a special or general election. The committee will work for the submission of a constitutional amendment exempting motor vehicles from taxation and permitting license fees on a graduated scale. .
