THE Lincoln Call is somewhat ex-
cited over the situation and thinks that
perhaps a fair deal has not been given
Lincoln in the location of the state fair.
1t says:
I'VE believe the state fair has been
maliciously stolen through the formal.
ity of pretended vote and that the
legislature has the authority and should
interfere in the matter, and by enact
ment permanently locate the fair at the
capital of the state. If this cannot be
done, there is yet ample opportunity for
Lincoln to protect herself by using the
money already subscribed to make a
mile track and offer inducements for
fair that will make Omaha's state fair
simply an annex"

THE Cedar Rapids Commercial has an
item worthy of consideration:
I'VE do not expect to be present at the
State Press Association meeting at York,
but We want to give the boys a pointer
that they can do themselves lots of good
and perhaps, in measure. bring relief
to long suffering public, by passing a
strong resolution urging the ready-print
houses to refuse patent medicine adver-
tisements at any price. At the present
time 1t Is almost impossible to conduct a
clean, respectable newspaper and use
ready print. but if the newspaper men of
the state will take united action on this
matter, there is possible chance for
reform"
But We would like to know how a
reform of this kind can be brought about
with a number of prominent members OF
the association engaging themselves in
the manufacture and sale of patent
medicines.

opinion that the income tax has come to
stay: that it especially commends itself
to the popular sense of right. 1t pro-
ceeds to tell in what particulars the ap-
plication of the principle will be
changed. viz: SO that incomes below
5000 shall be untaxed, and incomes
between that and $4,000 taxed at a
nominal rate, while above that figure the
rate will increase with the amount OF
the income, the object being to lay the
burdens of government upon wealth. in
stead of on industry; superfinity, in

was sixty. A number Of the bodies were
SO mangled that they were beyond all

100 were killed. The fire originated in
the Royal Milling company's warehouse
and spread to the Kenyon 4 Connell
company's building. Nobody seems to
know where the powder was stored that
wrought the destruction. The streets
near by were literally covered with
parts of human beings and with the
dead and injured. The houses in the
vicinity were as thoroughly wrecked as
if cyclone had passed through them.
