FIREBUGs AT WORK AT wYMORE
Two Incendiary Blazcs Occur In One
Night.

wYMORE, Neb.. July 10.-(Special.)-
Firebugs are once more at work in Wy
more. Two fires, undoubtedly of incendiary
origin, were started in Wymore this morn
ing. The first one was at 1880 a. m. and
was the large barn on the Roop property,
just south of the Central school building.
The barn and several adjoining outbuild-
ing were destroyed. The barn had not been
in use for some time and the fire is sup
posed to have been the work of an incen-
diary. The people who were out to the
blaze had no more than fallen asleep when
another alarm was sounded. The fire this
time was in the old Potter hotel building.
but was extinguished before much damage
was done. The hotel is large frame
building, but has not been occupied for sew
eral years. This is the seventh time the
building has caught fire in mysterious
manner. Both buildings were insured.

THE FORD TAX BILL.
Governor Roosevelt VIII Call LeGis-

Governor Roosevelt VIII Cali LeGis-
lnture to Meet May -.
Albany. May 16.--The governor has
made a decision in the franchise tax bill
matter.
First.-The bill at present before him
will not be signed until the eth of May.
Second.-He will call an extra session,
to convene on Monday night, May %.
for the purpose of perfecting the bill.
Third.-He will not accept any amend
ments to the bill which will impose a
tax Of per cent on gross receipts, be-
lievng that such an amendment will
relieve the larger corporations from tax.
Fourth.-He will accept two amend
ments only--one placing the collection
OF the tax in the hands of the state tax
commission and the other making the
franchise tax take the place of all other
kinds of taxes. so that the tax will be
equitable in all parts Of the state.
These views are semiofficial. but are
reliable
The situation is practically unchanged
from that of last Friday. The governor
resists all efforts of the corporations to
make the tax a collection of per cent
on gross earnings. His belief in that
matter is that it would allow the larger
corporations to escape in a great meas
ure the tax, and he intends to have
bill that will apply equitably.
The amendments to the bill will be Of
fered at the extra session. but if by Sat
urday. the 9th. they are not accepted,
or if any other amendment not accept
able is forwarded, he will sign the Ford
bill.
