? 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.

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

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."
