GREAT RECORD IN CONSTRUCTION OF U. S. CANTONMENTS Congressman Doremus of Detroit Tells How America Acted in a Pinch. Ity IN .!. CAUSOX. WASHIN(;toN, April 2C. Again it i d'mon?tiated through the house investigation 01 the construction and cost of rantonmen's, how the I'nited States government, only by throwing expense to the winds, and proceeding with Us preparedness program at any cost. rost to the emergency of war. and overcoming unpr ced nted difficulties put an enormous winning army of two million men In Prance, having 4,000,000 more in trainin-, when there were gloomy prediction that the feat was impossible. The story was told in the house recently by Congressman Frank I'. Doremus, of Detroit, one of the minority members of !h house select investigating committee. Itep. Ioremus said that despite the arduous labor necessary as a member of an investigating committee, he was glad he had .-rvrd because it gave him an insight into America's r e m a r k a b 1 c achievements. "I ilo not regret the part 1 have taken in this investigation," said Mr. Doremus. "It has given me a clearer Idea of the task that confronted! the government when war suddenly threw its shadows athwart the path of a peace-loving people. It has given me a keener appreciation of the obstacles that were -n-countered and of how a mighty nation aro.s to its great responsibility when the supreme test of its genius and patriotism came." Xo Sptvliio Charges. rieferring to the report oi the majority of the sub-committee, which criticized various things in the conduct of the war but brought no specitic indictment iagalnst any one, Kep. Doremus. with a touch of sarcastic emjha.sis, said: 'This is a m.omontous occasion in the lifo of our republic. On this day our reconstruction congress pauses in its tortuous and questionable historical work entitled 'How America Ivost the War,' written by Hon. William J. Graham, of Illinois, his nine unprejudiced. disinterested, non-partisan republican collaborators." K'P. Dormus added tha he had been assigned t tho sutcommittees to investigate construction of army camps "ami this investigation has been one of tho most successful building programs in the history of the world." "After nine months of investigation." continued Mr. Doremus, "the majority of this committee is unwilling to make a specitlc recommendation to the attorney general or a particular allegation of fraud against any person, firm, or corporation. During all that time they have had access to the records oft the construction division of the war department and the emergency cons.t motion committee, with unlimited authority from the house to investigate every phase of eonstrueticn program. Pass "HiuV Alons. "Thy luve employed able investieators and counsel, und no limitation has been placed upon their expenditures. During these nine months they have left no stone unturned in their efforts to discover evidence of fraud and praXt, and now they propose to pass the investigation on to the attorney general. "They have brought in a report winch they would not dare to submit to a ote of the house, because it contain Undings and recommendations that the hou-e would rot .inj rove. The resolution is a fvion of failure, and the country il! s'-i regard it." Kep. Doremus challenged the republican majority to present for a straight out vote a report not dealing in general chargts of waste of money and im Ihciency, but pee ifying particularly what matters should be investigated by the attorney general. After a fruitless investigation of nine To.tnths, Mr. Doremus argued. the eommitte was merely sidestepping in resolvinsr that the attorney general should now in estimate war contracts.

REALTORS SAY SOUTH BEND IS BANKRUPT

Express Regret That City Has No Funds to Operate for Coming Year. Regret that the city of South Bend is facing the coming year with no funds in the treasury' to meet the expenses which iiius'.'be Incurred wa.s the predominating; idea expressed at the meeting of lcal real estate men before whom Fred A. Sims, chairman of the Indiana state board of tax eommissmr ers, was the principal .xpf-aker. Dinner was served at the meeting held at thu V. M. C. A. building. Mr. Sims defended the present state tax law throughout his adilrrss. He admitted, however, that South Henri's tax budget cut by the state board of tax commissioners might not have been to the best interest of the city and said that lie would try to defend it in particular. 11 Lames New siapT. A. Ii. Erskine during the discussion that followed the address of Mr. Sims blamed a local newspaper for so garbling the facts that a wrong impression was created regarding the budget for lyi'O. He said he supposed it was because the news broke so close to press time that eriors occurred in representing the nature of local conditions. Nevertheless the misrepresentation caused the tax board to get a wronj impression of South liend's need of tax proposals. Previous to making this f-tatement Mr. Krskine had asked Mr. Sims what had actuated the board in making the cut of $200,000. The chairman of the state board of tax commissioners replied that there had been protests made against tho proposal which the state board took into consideration. Other business men expressed the. hope that sinco Mr. Sims bail seen with his own eyes the great expansion which South Bond was undergoing that his commission would be more considerate of south Ben.d's needs in the future. High Taxation. County Atorney Stuart McKibbin held up as a model another city which he said was cutting out social centers, garden fads, and useless department heads in order to cut down expenses through these elitlicult times. He said that people in this country at present did not know what high taxation is. He then quoted rates in Europe before the war and in our own country after the civil war, when taxation exceeded income. He said that the present tax law which carried as a feature the provision whereby property should be assessed on cash value, contained little that was new. Taxation according to cash value had been written int the laws of Indiana back as ealy as 1S91 by the late Timothy Howard, he said. one measure in the present law which Mr. McKibbin declared unjust was the taking from each community the right of self determination as to what its needs and possibilities of taxation wer'. While these powtrs were concentrated into tho hands of a tax commission which sat at Indianapolis. Ilo said, however, that people had the government they deserved and ptinting that a primary" w-n at hand with the nine election officers per prt -cinct provided for in the primary' law .'ls yet umippointed and it is practically impossible to pet them at tho rate of three dollars and a dollar and a half a elay. He then drove home the point that if citizens would not take interest enough in local affairs to take part in its public functions they could r.ot blame the state of Indiana for concentrating authority in the hands of tax i oicmissioners in Indianapolis. Sgart SMaks. City Compt: oiler John A. Swygart in contributing his share of the remarks which were made after Mr. Sim's address, said that South Bend laces an empty treasury the tirst of next year, that the city must have a bond issue and citizens of South Beml must expect a request for more money. It was at this point that Chairman Sims admitted that under the pressure of criticism the stat' bard had allowed .South Bend f l.CO more this year than bust and that they had not lowered the assessments for the park board. Mayor Carson said that the city had asked for bond issue of J400.Cm"0 but "by the time we got them through :v( could not srll them at all under the present financial conditions; now we'll tli well if we sell their, at six rer cent." I am not well enough acquainted with tax laws to enter into any discussion." said tho mayor. "We were elisappointed that the budget was cut down. Don't be uneasy that we are coir.,? too far, because you won't let us.'" The mayor is quoted as having formerly said: "The whole thing is polities. Those babbs down at Indianapolis do everything thy can against South Bend. They don't want us to get anywhere. The republicans passd the law and now they are going to make it operate at the txper.se of this city." Cut Kivrwx. C.mm iss.oner Sims in his address urged that t xper.ditures be cut low o to the limit of necessities. "You will have to pay higher prices and have a hard time getting money." he r-ald. "and unless there is some sort of a hroik put upm expenditures1 ou know what the inevitable will be. This is nut a local e;ues-tion."
