HOUSE IS RESPONSIBLE
(from a Start Corre.Dond.nt.)
Washington, Dee. 4. (Special Tele

far an explanation why Nebraska
went for Wilson, said:
"Th returns from the northwest,
which Nebraska" figures, seem to
demonstrate two propositions.
"First The president was toiertteo
because he was given credit for hav-
g kept the country out ot war.
"Second Democratic legislation,
especially""the tariff, which has been
their major 'legislation, was. repudi
ated by the northwest. The president
gained generally in the states of the
northwest. -
His gain was apparently in ootn
city and country, yet the larger per
centage of his gain was in the cities
and towns as distinguished-from the
purely country districts, and the dis
tricts containing small villages.
"The northwest, beginning wun ti-
diana, shows gailis of seventeen re-
fiublican congressmen. If the repub
licans nmanize the house it will be
by reason of their gain in the north-
wesi againsi wnicn acmun mc Hern
iation of the last four years has been
directed. Further,, the northwest as
a whole appears to repeat on a large
scale what we find in, the weorasKa
congressional vote, that, the collective
vote for the republican candidates ex
ceeded the collective votes of their op
ponents.
"While the president has been alter
nately praised or blamed for legisla
tion enacted, the people of the north
west evidently have held the .house ot
representatives, the body cotrstitution
ally charged with, responsibility, as
responsible for adverse legislation.
"I shan oppose the proposed toon
mhiren. Altlinueh the embarso would
be in line With other adverse legisla
tion against the northwest, I do not
think that it can be carried out. Our
tariff laws admit free from the world
food products to be sold to the Amer i
can people. The, embargo would deny,
us the privilege of selling to anybody
else in the worlds In other words,
the Underwood tariff law removed the
reasonable protection the producer
had in the professed interest of the
consumer. The embargo -would give
a prohibitive protection- to he con
sumer and against the producer. This
combination, the producers of the
northwest will and should resist to the

Reach Washington
(From a Staff Cerroi pendent)
Washington, Dec. 4. (Special Tele
gram.) Attorney General Willis
Reed of Nebraska, accompanied by
staff of well-known lawyers from
the Prairie state, arrived in Washing
ton today to safeguard the interests
of citizens of Nebraska growing out
of the case pending in the Supreme
court wherein Wyoming is suing
Colorado for certain infractions of
water rights. The attorney general
of Nebraska is not quite, satisfied that
tervene on the part of his state
e proper procedure, although it
is possible Nebraska will get into the
case before final argument.
In the meantime ' General Reed 9
staff of trained legal minds is hunt
ing up precedents, examining authori
ties and generally making itself use
ful, si they may br continued on the
payroll provided by the last legisla
ture, for the protection of the water
users in the western part of'the state.
General Reed hopes for a larger ap-,
iropriatton at the hands ot the nxt
cffislature to continue the work of
ascertaining whs are priority water
users on both, the Worth and south
Platte.
Up to this time, however, Nebraska
is not a party to the suit between
Wyoming and .Colorado, which is
scheduled for argument in the su
nreme court tomorrow.

CALL FOE MORE LATER ON
Washington,' D. C Dec. 4. Esti
mates for main tarn ing and strength
ening the armyyand navy during the
fiscal year 1918 indicate that congress
will be asked this winter to provide
about $800,000,000 for that purpose.
The total of estimates already sub
mitted and made public today when
congress convened is $75784,560 to
cover the military activities of both
departments. Statements made by
navy officials to the house naval com
mittee, now considering that bill, have
foreshadowed, however, large supple
mentary estimates to be submitted
later, and a similar situation exists at
the War department
The preliminary estimate for the
army Is $373,074,565, an increase of
about $70,000,000 over the amount ap
propriated for 1917. The navy total
of $379,151,701 is an increase of $66
451,146 over 1917 figures. Panama
canal fortifications will take $5,358,
300, an increase of about $300,000.
More than ?1U,UU0,UW ot the army
increase will go into the payment of
regulars, national guardsmen and
members of the reserve A total of
$97,974,995 is sought under the pay
item and the estimates show that the
number provided for under this sec
tion is Z58,S94. Ut that totai-y4,jy
would be in the regular service and
164,315 in the .National Guard.
Provision is also made for the pay
ment of 25,000 members of the regular
enlisted reserve and for full rate pay
ment of these men for fifteen days'
field training during the year. , The
provision for payment of reserve offi
cers is $3,515,303 and that for1 .pay
ing National Guard' officers, $3,
396,940. -
Two Million for Aviation. ,. :
Another $2,000,000 of the increase
will go to the aviation section, which
submits ''estimates for the expendi
ture during 1918 of $6310,000 on new
aeroplanes and ?1,UUU,U0U tor balloons.
senatate item submitted, it is stat
ed, at the request of the Navy de
partment in the Panama canal esti
mates, is $250,000 for the establish,
ment of an aviation station in thi
rone.
For the protection of the canal
is shown that $780,000 is to be ex
pended for armored cars and locomo
tives, searchlights ana otner equip
ment for tluf mobile troops which
army ofliciafs have declared must be
ready to repel an attacx by lana
In round figures an additional $13,'
000,000 wil .be spent for the training
and equiphfent of the National Guard
and $10,000,000 more than the 1917 ap
propriations for reserve stores pt am

lerv. A million additional is asked

While retiring to private life and

It has been pointed out to him that

may not be surprising if he changes
