L'!.--One. pew battleship per nnninn horcntier is to be- the naval policy nf (lie Denioew- ie liouse. The Democrats propone 10 hrra awnv from the policy rj . hrsnii't Roosevelt and Presidenl Tafi. who Have been firm in their recommenda tions that tins government shall r.p propriate lor two new dreadn.vii'lns each year. 'There are two 'reasons lor tins d elsion on the part ol those who will he responsible for the next iinv appropriations hill. In : t.ie iii.it. piaee, tho Democrats, as a pnriv have been opposed '. to a Ins navy. The Democrats base their .policy on the term of "an adequate navy.' . The majority of the Democrats, for several years past, have voted against two batilesliips as rcco'.i: mended by the house naval affa'rs committee. Representative Padgett of Tennesce, now chairman of the Democratic committee.- has always lead the hg:it for only one dreiid nauglit. He lias been oui-voiej, however,' time and time again, by the Republicans, and a lew of his own partv, some of. whom believe not only in two but In tliree new battlesnips each year.

The dreadnaught of today cosis when completely titled out. nearly $12,000,000, without its armament the newer type battleships cannot be built for less than ?7, 000. 000, and members of the naval affairs com mittee give as a total cost the con servatlve estimate of ?U. 000. 000 to $12,000,000. There Is an addition accumulated cost of maintaining a battleship that will go to the right side of the Democratic ledger. The average yearly cost of operating a ilrst-elass dreadnaught will total at least $750,000. It cost nearly a million dollars per year to keep the Con necticut afloat. This annual coot embraces the salaries of ottlcers and men, the food supply, tae repair bills as well as ammunition and tlje wear and tear to the big guns.
