? CONGRESSMAN I EARS FOR PEACE 6 The Dispatch-News, igton, May 2.?Hepresenta tier of the Seventh district hft&de his maiden speech in congress Thursday last, when he strongly supported an amendment to the naval appropriation bill which would have made the appropriations for naval expansion unavailable until the president had called a meeting of the nations with the purpose of taking steps looking towards general disarmament. j. Representative Fulmer cited figures , to show that 92.8 per cent, of the vtOtal appropriations of $5,686,005,705.97 was for the payment of war? past, present and prospective. He believed that it was time for a people over-burdened by taxation to have some relief from the load which they wefro carrying. He denounced as a fallacy the idea of preparing for war in time of peace, and made a strong plea for a reduction of the enormous expenditures of the hard-earned money of the people in ambitious armament. schemes which were calcu,T;' ;f\: r; Njrf.T^TS T ?<1 lated only, to lead, the, world into another shambles from which, the people would emerge deeimated,; impoverished, Sri" Watnt and fear.- ' ^HoW' 'do 'you knoW.^Mr. Speaker andP gentlemen,M Said" Mr. Fulmer, "that the 'fiations 'bf the earth may ntt now be praying that the United States^ . the leading country of all the world, ""will send out a note in her gobd 'way,' asking them to come together and understand each other in a'peace-loving way? It is not a fact thatthe.rest of the nations did; join in some kind-of an. understanding and aTiwtwi the United. States to join therein* forever to, banish .war from t^e ^ace of the earth ? Is it not also a fact that the Sixty-sixth Congress, on account of politics, sat down on these arrangements and at once com i. menced to increase .our Navy and keep up the pace set in 1916-17? , Why,, of . course, gentlemen, the rest of. the world wonders why the United States talks about disarmament and then opens the throttle and drives full speed ahead to create the largest navy on the face of the earth! "As a new Member, I am fresh from my section, and I know that the people as a whole are tired of being taxed to the vanishing point of their means without receiving comparative .. . . . ? benefits in return. Their boys, the young manhood of America, were * snat.hed up and deployed into no man's land, many of them being of the' 'unreturning braves'. While our tVioir hlrtnrl for world WJfO pucu U1VU ... freedom, the returned soldiers and % the crying mothers and the homeloving farmers and the solid business men of the country can not understand this program for a larger Navy, but they can see that if we, the Representatives of the people of these United States, keep up the pace of providing for and. enlarging the instruments (of horrid -war, instead of slowing down or quitting along these linear we are going to have within the next few years a world-encircling, world-drenching war that will leave a decimated," impoverished population existing in want and, In fear." In.closing Mr. Fulmer took a rap at congress for having neglected the vital interests of the country and allowed'iprofiteering to run rampant, to ? the detriment of the best interests of the great majority. He said: "I want to ask, Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, what have you done in the past for the cattle grower of the West and the. grain grower and cotton farmer of the South and the laboring man, who has been the tool in the hands of the eau^talist? Nothing! Nothing! But yoo have allowed capital to reap huge dividends by means of inadequate legislation and the loopholes of the law,* and you have made it possible for the speculator, unmolested, to mop up millions at the expense of the producer and the consumer. "I hope this amendment will be adopted, and until you retrench and cut down -the big program that you purpose carrying on in the building of the world's largest Navy, I shall vote against the original bill." ENTERTAINMENT. There will be an entertainment and cake walk at Culler . school house ICay 6th, beginning at 7 o'clock. Everybody is invited to come. ? The Chickens Cackle "Lemme see one o' dem cuckoo clocks," said Mr. Erastus. "Here you are." "Could you change de time a little, I wants an alarm clock. I don't take to dese hasty an' excited alarm clocks. If you could train one o' deee to cackle like a chicken I could wake up spry an' hopeful every time."
