ALMOST 5000 FIRES.
The Annual Average for New York
City-One-FifEh the Coun-
rT's Total.

New York averages $500 fires a
year. Chicago mas AGO.
The average record in this country,
reports the Fireproof Magazine, is
8 theaters, 8 public halls, II churches,
10 schools, 2 hospitals, 2 asyIums, 2
colleges, 6 apartment houses, de-
partment stores. 2 jails, 26 hotels, 140
fats and nearly 1000 homes burned
up every week In the year.
We INDUCED in $4,000 fires last year,
some of them wipirg out many build
ings. We are born gamblers, are we
Americans, and seem p1acid1y to take
our chances on fire, believing. prob
ably, that those chances are somewhat
remote
As matter of fact. however. the
country over, each family has just
one chance in 60 of being burned out
some time during the year; not q
very long shot after all.

As going to confirm his inference OF

that the head Of the Armour Elevator
company is large stakeholder and a
director Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &

He then read a number Of letters and
quoted various statements to show that
the railroad companies favor some ele-
Tators to which they are friendly and
discriminate against others which are
not SO well regarded by them. with the
result that the price of wheat to the
producers is far below what it should

He declared in conclusion that prac-

these wholesale dealers are closely al

Washington, February 2S.-The Presi- dent today issued proclamation impos- ing the rate of duties provided in section of the Dingley act on imports from Germany in return for Germany's conces- sions of minimum tariff rates on products from the United States. The articles and the rates of duty named in the Presidents proclamation are the same as those now in force, but which would have been ter minated today, but for the recent action lof the German government in giving this country the benefit of it's minimum tariff. The proclamation is as follows:
 "Whereas, The government of Germany has taken action extending on and after March 1, 1906. and until June 90, 1907. or until after notice, the benefit of the Ger man conventional customs tariff to the products of the soil or industry of the United States by which action, in the Judgment of the President, reciprocal con- sessions are established in favor of the said products of the United States.
 "Now, therefore, be it known that |, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America. acting under the authority conferred by the third sec ton of the tariff act of the United States approved July 24, 1897, do hereby suspend, during the continuance in force of the said concessions by the government of Germany, the imposition and collection of the duties imposed by the first section of said act on the articles hereinafter specified. being the products of the soil or industry of Germany and do declare in place thereof the following rates of duty, provided in the third section of said act to be in force and effect on and after March 1, 1906. of which the of ficers and citizens of the United States will take due notice, namely:

true that the precise question now pre- sented, was not presented to the court in any of these cases. And il is also true that the supreme court of the United States has never yet upheld a state statute comforting power to make rates on a railroad commission or comms- sioner as to that particular point which did not make the power so conferred purely administrative in character or which was not enacted by virtue of a constitutional provision that authorized such legislation
 The Senator quoted a number of de- elsions in support of his contention and said that many of the states had found 1t necessary to amend their constitutions in order to give to commissions power to fix rates It is conceded that if Con gress has the power to fix rates com mission cam be created and 1t can be utilized in the fixing of rates. But" he said. sit can be utilized only under some such statute as those enacted by the leg islatures of Iowa and Wisconsin when, in 1873 and 1874, they passed their re- spective statutes, classifying the rail- roads according to earnings and providing that the officials chosen to execute them should by computation, taking the class ihcation as basis, determine what statu- tory rates should apply. That was ad- ministrative.
