INSURANCE RATE FIGHT.
No Plan to Contest Kansas Decrease
Perfected. says MFR. jackson.

Attorney General Jackson, who is
greatly interested in the meeting of fire
insurance managers in Chicago this
week. says that the story to the effect
that the so insurance men who met in
Chicago had agreed to fight the Il Per
cent rate reduction law in Kansas, Is
premature. He is tolerably well posted
on the movements Of the insurance
men
THE convention appointed a com
nittee of seven to look into the matter
said Attorney General Jackson today,
land then adjourned until Monday. The
proposition to make a test case Of the
Kansas reduction law met with COL
siderable opposition in the meeting,
principally from heads of Kansas COM
panies, who stated in the meeting that
the reduction was no serious hardship
to the companies. The scheme viii
meet with further opposition if the re-
port of the committee favors a suit to
test the law"

INCOME TAX LEAGUE.
Organization Formed b. Progressive
Democrats of New York

Albany, n. Y. Sept. 4.-The income
tax league of the state Of New York.
was organized today at a meeting of
progressive Democrats in the ballroom
OF tie Ten Eyck hotel. The large dele
cation thai had been expected failed to
materiaiize and when J. Francis Con-
don of Utica, the secretary. called the
meeting to order at noon only a dozen
delegates wer5 present. John f. Crosby
CT New York was made chairman and
after the organization had been per-
fected resolutions prepared by William
J. Bryan were offered by Michael 3.
Murphy OF Malone and adopted.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, Our federal constitution as
construed by the supreme court. pro-
bibits the collection of an income tax,
except IN a very restricted form: and
Whereas. An income tax is not only
Just but may, iE time of war Or other
emergency become fmperatively neces-
sary; and
whereas, President Taft recon-
r1ended the adoption Of an amendment
to the constitution, specifically author
izing the collection of such a tax; and
by unanimous vote In the senate and
by an almost unanimous vote in the
house been submitted to the states for
ratification; therefore.
Resolved, That we. the members of
the Income Tax league Of the state of
New York. heartily favor the ratffica-
ton of the said income tax amendment
and pledge ourselves and our organiza-
ton to use every honorable means to
secure such ratification by the leSis-
iature Of the state of New York at its
.ext session; and further.
Resolved. That we urge all voters
who favor the ratification of such in
GENE tax amendment to publicly pledge
all candidates of the state legislature
to vote for the ratification of such AM
income tax amendment"

the city were selling at a thousand
dollars lot while property if any

Topeka can be purchased at about a

Two or three of the prominent real

nois, Iowa and other papers have
been letting the readers Of those pub
locations know that Topeka now has
the advantage Of the stop-over priv
ueges- The result is that during the
coming week one firm is expecting a
half dozen outsiders to drop off to
investigate the property which this
firm has to offer. Another substan-
tiaI effect of the recent action of the
railroads came about this week when

land for the consideration of $4,000.

Judee Coleman'S Decision

The decision of Judge Coleman in the case of Health Officer Hardness affects all parts of the state. It fits Mobile and Montgomery as it does Bir- mingham, and all other towns in this state are affected by it. The case is therefore to be carried to the supreme court, so that the law may be finally and fully defined.
 The truth is, the case was begun for that very purpose, and the Jefferson County Medical society has no inten- tion of letting the case stop until it is reviewed by the states highest court.
 The matter is one that all physicians and scientists regard as important. They do not think that the health de- partments of our cities should be handed over to politicians and they wall press on in the hope that the su- preme court will keep the sanitary work under the supervision of those who have given it the most study and who are best fitted to decide its numer- ous problems.

Free Ore and Iron Making

Today the Maryland iron and steel plant at Sparrows Point, near Balti- more, is paying duty on Cuban ore and using it almost exclusively. At Bethle- hem in the Schwab plant it is also used. If the duty be taken off all of the Atlantic coast that can get req sonably cheap fuel may set up stacks and go to making iron.
 The Cuban ores are near the coast at Santiago, and they are said to con tain over 50 per cent of metallic iron. They are even richer ores than those in the Lake Superior districts Our own port of Mobile would be placed by free ore on the eligible iron-maldng list for it would be just about half way between the ore beds of Santiago and the coal seams of Alabama. An Open Warrior will soon bisect these coal seams. A furnace aL MODlle WOulu quarry it's Aux on the rivers brink, and its fuel and ore supplies would be water-b borne to the bins of the furnace. The product would have the world as a market, especially after the Panama canal is opened.
 Domestic ores would be placed at discount along the coast by the free ore provision. This would be done to satisfy the coast cities, and particu- larly the extreme east, and possibly to aggrandize the owners of Cuban ore beds. It will be strange indeed if the bill gets through both branches of Con- gress loaded up with provision that assails domestic ores to promote the import of raw material mined in Cuba, Nova Scotia, Spain or Sweden.

 Already the caucus rule of last Mon- day is going into operation. Messrs. Bartlett of Georgia and James of Ken lucky had been appointed to serve on the committee on mileage, and both declined to serve because their ap- pointment had not been approved by the minority leader.

MEXICAN VIEW OF TAFT.

From the Mexican Herald.
 President Taft is a notable example of reward bestowed on a good and useful citizen in free country. He comes of a most respectable middle class family and though his father was attorney general of the federation, and he had the advan- tages of a university education, he be- gan life as a newspaper reporter. From that station of useful service he rose from one post of public trust to another to a federal judgeship, to the governorship of the Philippines and to the Secretaryship of War; in which latter capacity he was virtually in charge of Cuban affairs dur ing the American occupation of the island of Panama and of the colonies generally He has shown his ability to conduct difficult diplomatic tasks sue cessfully, and his knowledge of men and nations is unequaled> in all the list of his illustrious predecessors in the presi- dency. He is superbly equipped for his high and responsible duties, for today he becomes one of the most powerful of the worlds rulers, virtually a constitutional sovereign of immense and direct infiu- ence.

Tennessee'S Cure for Night Riding

A proposition is before the legisla- ture of Tennessee, now in session, to purchase Reelfoot lake with a view to making game and fish reserve of it. The company that had attempted to turn the lake into private property has offered to sell it's interests for s75.- 900, and 1t is altogether possible that the legislature will decide to settle the contest between the fisherman and the land company in that way.
 The Nashville American thinks the state should purchase the lake, there by giving to all citizens of the state a right to hunt and fish in 1t. As a fish and duck lake it has no superior. Many tons of fish have been taken out of the lake, but all observers of it agree in saying there are as many fish in it Rs there ever have been. The lake has been open to the people nearly a cen. tury, and the American thinks it should continue to be public property. The best road to the proposed settlement is through a purchase of the land con- pany's interest, despite the high price it is demanding. The state could take the lake by condemnation proceedings, but a puTchase would be more expedi-

Enemies of Good Roads.

Every time an automobile strikes a person 1t makes 10 enemies to good roads," said a well informed citizen yes terday. q have witnessed several of these accidents recently and have been so completely disgusted that I almost wished we did not have anything but mud roads.
 The automobile men are the ones most directly benefited by good roads, and they should cooperate as much as pos sible with the authorities to make them a valuable asset instead of a continu- ous danger.
 "Of course we need good roads, but they are really meant for the farmer. He and his horses should not be fright ened to death by these machines nor should the county build roads for auto mobile purposes alone.
 'The automobile drivers should remem- Der that every time they carelessly run down person they are killing their
