The Union for Practical Progress is
struggling with DIR. GARvIN, SAM II.
BULLOCK and lesser notables in socialism
crankism, lsbor agitation, and Democ-
racy, but the meeting of the Municipal
Government section, last evening, demon

organization who have a claim to public
confidence and are not disposed to have
the Union made ridiculous or shattered
without protest.

DOWN TO HARD PAN.

The public is getting down to hard pan
information on this "indignation" busi-
ness.
They are rapidly coming to the proper
understanding that all this talk OF

We have taken pains to be reticent with
our own views on this matter because We
were confident that IL the movement"
were given rope enough it would hang
itself to a Democratic scaffold. The re-
suits already justify this opinion.
The promoters OF the movement"
ought not to have expected to be able to
fool the public for so long time. They
showed a lack OF discretion in setting
things going too early. They might have
known they would not be able to keep 1t
up-not in an intelligent community
like Providence.

fuge behind which this Democratic
scheme attempted to mask itself has besn
abandoned. General publication" is
now the battle cry. The anti-trolley

IT'S ALL A CASE OF CUT
When Insurance Agents Fall Out
Thrifty People Get a Show.
BUTTE is IN THE SWIM
Some of These Days a Man May
Be Given a Premium to Let His
Property Be Insured by the
QuarreIlng Agencies.

BUTTE, Feb. H.-Butte Is not going to
become involved in the insurance rate
war that has been going on all over the
Pacific coast states for several weeks.
When the Pacific Union, the association
OF coast underwriters, went to pieces, all
the Butte men, numbering IL agencies,
formed union of their own and all en-
tered into a written contract not to de-
viate from the rates fixed by
the other Pacific union. Each agent
put up bond of $50 to be for
feited in case the contract is
broken. The checks are in the hands of
a committee of five and up to the present.
time the old established rate has been
kept In force, although in other towns of
the state the rates have been rCinously
cut. In Helena especially were the rates
siashed, as was discovered by some of the
butte agents when they attempted to
write some policies on some buildings in
that Town. Where the former rates were
81 and 50 per 500 they were cut to so cents.
w. III. Winters, representing a number
OF the companies involved IN the fight,
this evening gave STANDARD reporter
the history of the present rate war. The
Pacific union. formed of the general
agents with headquarters in San Fran
cisco, had established rate of Is per
cent. to be paid TO local agents all over
the coast, embracing the states of CALI
lorna, oregon, washington, Idaho. Utan,
Nevada, Arizona and Montana. Certain
general agents became dissatisfied with
the restrictions and, ignoring the rules,
paid their local agents 20 and 25 per cent.
w. j. Landers, general agent of the Sun
Fire of London, the Lion of London and
the Imperial company, was the first to
break from the union. McG.ll of
the Phoenix followed and soon
there was general "bust up"
OF the union and for week
or so there was a war of rates that threat
ened to result disastrously for many COM
panies, then a number of the general
agents got together and organized a new
association named the Board of FIRE
Underwriters of the Pacific coast.
Gradually the general agents entered the
folds of the new organization until now
only SIX companies are on the outside and
they declare they will remain out and
keep the war up until there is a general
smash in the insurance rates.
The following is a list of the companies
in the new organization, showing the as
sets of each:

MUCH TO- FRESH,
Express Wagon Driver Are Making
Themselves "a Bed of Thorns


Themselves "a Bed of Thorns
BUTTE, Feb. lathe job and express
men seem to have been pressing the limit
a little in encroaching on the rights of
citizens, and some of their actions will
likely result in compelling them to OBJ
serve the ordinance for which they express
so much. A man named Ganzberg
drives the delivery wagon for Mullins, a
West Park street market man. working
at a stated salary. Yesterday he delivered
a dentists chair for DIR. harles Hail, an
old friend of his, charging nothing for the
service. Ee had scarcely got the chair
delivered when he was arrested on the
charge of doing job business without
license and was hauled up before Judge
Naughten.
In police court this afternoon the truth
of the matter came out and Judge Naugh-
ten promptly dismissed the defendant
and charged all the costs up to the COM
planning witness, Mike II ,rmon.
The ordinance in regard to job and ex-
press wagons is broken every day, and the
incident mentioned has called the atten-
ton of the authrities to the violations of
the law, and there will bc a more rigid err
forcement hereafter. Tue same city ordi-
nance which requires job, and express
wagons to be licensed also requires that
such wagons shall not stand east of Acad-
envy or west of Wyoming street. Yet
there is scarcely day that they cannot
be seen standing on Broadway. near the
corner of Main. Sometimes the police
enforce the ordinance and make them get
within the prescribed limits, but the next
day they are back to the corner of Main
again. The city treasury will hereafter
be swollen by few fines from express
men who daily violate the ordinance they
profess to be SO particular about.
