GOVERNOR ORMAN VETOES
FIRE INSURANCE BILL

Denver, Colo, April Ex-Governor
Orman exercised his veto power for
the first time Thursday, vetoing House
Bill No. 1G6 (Ballinger), fixing the LA
bility of fire insurance companies at
the full face value of the policy i'll
the destruction Of real estate. The
governor declares that the measure is
a premium on incendiarlsm and vicious
class legislation. Governor Thomas,
two years ago, vetoed II similar bill.
His action met the approval of the in
surance commissioner. Following is
a portion of the governors veto:
In all probability, the main object
of law of this character, and the
principal argument advanced in sup
port of measure of this kind, is the
desire to compel insurance companies
to adjust and settle losses without be-
ing compelled to resort to litigation,
in order that the true amount of the
loss may be determined. 1t is argued
by reason of the fact that insurance
companies are often dilatory, and
Imany times arbitrary in making prop

''In reply to your inquiry as to the

Congressmen should Travel

William E. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record-Hcrald, says:
Senator Bacon of Georgia is trying
to organize n congressional expedition
to the Philippines. and the secretary of
war has offered to furnish passage on
the army transports to all who are will
ing to go. AS an educational PROPOSE
tions such n junket would be of great
benefit to the country and to the new
possessions" for the more n congress-
man sees and hears the better qualified
he is to legislate concerning public af-
fairs. There ought to be large fund
appropriated every year to pay the eX-
penses of congressman in travelling
about the world. and particularly about
the United States. People would be
surprised If they knew how provincial

lay in the final adjustment of his
claims.
while there is much foundation for
an argument of this character, still l
am convinced that measure of this
nature should not be allowed to be
come n law and should have no place
upon our statute books.
I'VE have the advantage of the ex-
perience gained by other states where
such law has been enacted and be
come operative. and the universal tes-
timony is that it has materially in
creased the rate of insurance and the
ratio of losses has become vastly larg-
er. giving rise to the supposltion that
such law operates in favor of the III
cendiary and to the detriment of the
honest man, thereby compelling the
honest men to pay for the frauds per-
petrated by the dishonest man. The
bill is also vulnerable to the objection
that it is class legislation. in that it
applies only to improvements upon
real property and not to personal prop
erty, for it specifically says any i'm
provements upon real property Civ
ing the owner of that class of proper
ty undue advantage over the owner of
personal property, who, without
doubt, would be required TO pay the
same rate for protection as the owner
of real property. although not receiv-
ing the same indemnity or remunera-
ton in case of loss"

ENGLAND'S IMMENSE
WAR BURDENS

London. April 13-"The budget" said
Sir William Vernon Harcourt in the
House of Commons to-day, was but
chapter in the disastrous incident of
the war. 1t was purpOsed to borrow
altogether f127 100000 more, four
times as much as was borrowed for
the Crimean war.

land of increased expenditures. We
cannot go on without involving this
country in financial ruin. The fash
ionable doctrine of the day is con-
scription and projections; does anybody
believe that this increase of expendi-
ture Is not to go on?"
Sir William argued that England
was not as strong now as she was at
the close of the French war, and de-
clared in conclusion that 1t was the
most disastrous statement that the eX-
cheQuer had ever made.
The exceptional interest taken in this

by the crowded condition of the House

WASHINGTON OPINION

ly good effect. both in the Philippines
and in this country. 1t will take some
time for its dissemination among the
Filipinos. but it is expected to be of
considerable service. and to make more
rapid the improvement in the situation
which set in some time ago. and which
has become marked of late.
Especial qualification is felt at the
unreServed tone of the document. and
the full acceptance it indicates of
American rule. This. it is felt. will
bring to the support of the government
many l'ilipinos who. wishing for pence,
have hesiiatcd to assist the Taft com
mission. In this country it is expected
to reduce the criticism of the admins
trntion and to cause less discussion of
the general policy of the war in the
islands, and more consideration of the
important matter of the best admins
tration to be evolved for the govern
ment. 1t is to this work that the Taft
ergies.
Aguinaldo. now that he has cspoIsed
American sovereignty. probably will be
given more liberty than he has enjoy
ed hitherto. His services will be used
rs far as possible in the pacification in
of the islands. The extent, however.
to which he will be permitted his free

upon the vciws held by its representa-

STEEL TRUST TO HAVE
STRONG COMPETITOR

Detroit, April 2O.-The Evening
News says:
Final arrangements were made yes
terday for the building of steel and
iron plant at Sault Ste Marie, on the
Canadian side. which will employ TO-
600 men and be capitalized ut $0O,OOO,-

The plant will be operated in connec-
tion with the great power canal being
constructed Mt. the Canadian 500 by
j.. ii. Clergue and his associates Of the
Coo Power corporation. The financ-
cling of the project is in the hands Of
A. Il. Hovey of Liverpool, we'll
known English promoter, who has en-
listed American, English and Cana
dian capital in the desired amount.
When asked how soon it was expected
to have the plant in operation, Mr..
Hovey said:
IAN enormous project like this takes
time. However, we are SO advanced
that part of the mill will be running
inside of six months and the entire
plant within year and half. Then
we shall employ 10000 men at least.
1t is our intention to have mills on
both sides of the 500 river, in the
United States and Canada"
The international Steel. Iron and
Pipe Company will be organized to To-
cate immense steel mills on both the
Canadian and the United States sides
of the 500 canal, with capacity of
GOO,O 900 tons annually and employing
about 10000 men. The Consolidated
Lake Superior Power Company, of
which Mr.. Clergue is vice president,
1t is understood. will take large
block of the $5O,OO0,OOO stock of the
new company.
AS an outcome of the establishing
of the steel works at the 500, it Is said
that blast furnace will be estab-
lished in Detroit with n capacity of
1000 tons of pig iron per day, en-
ploying 1000 men.

that the new company would be an act
