Fire Thursday night destroyed
the farmers elevator at Clark, this
state. The building was a total loss,
and it's contents were badly damaged.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, with
about S27. 900 insurance. The origin
of the fire is not known. Just why
the company had on hand approx
mately $4,000 worth of grain we do
not know Such a quantity of grain
in the elevator would indicate specula-
ton, and speculation is one thing farm.
ers' elevators cannot stand up under.
A great many farmers elevators fail,
and nine times out of ten it is specula-
ton to some degree that causes the
failure. 1t should also be borne in
mind that no farmers elevator can
afford to carry anything in the line of
insurance less than the full value of
grain on hand. Insurance costs
money, but it is a legitimate expense,
and if the business will not stand the
cost of insurance the house had better
be closed, If the report is correct
the Clark institution has lost $4,000,
of which probably $1,000 vas repre-
sented by the building, leaving debt
of $4,000 for grain. If the directors
lsigned notes for the borrowed capital,
the loss will fall principally upon
them, for they will never be able to
induce the stockholders to pay an
assessment for that amount. If the
money was borrowed without security,
the chances are the party who made
the loan viii have to stand the loss.
1t must be remembered that a stock
| holder in a farmers elevator iii this
state is not liable for one cent after
his certificate Of stock has been paid
for at face value.

MOULD TAX ONLY SALOONS.

Having as its object the elimination
OF license tax on all business houses
excep. saloons, an ordinance was in
troduced last night 10 the Norfolk
Council and was referred to COM
mittee for further investigation.
The measure is, perhaps, the mosl
interesting the Council has had to
deal with in some time and is attract
ing much attention. The city now
derives from taxes 1920, 900 annually.
II licenses are eliminated, it is diff
cult TO see how this much money is 10
be derived from any other source, but
il is claimed it can be done.
The saloon keeper, it is said, will
be required to pay higher license
than he is paying at present, which
is 81 200. It is also said that the re-
duction in revenue received from
Licenses will be made up in connection
with the income tax.
The merchants OF Norfolk have been
trying for years to have their licenses
reduced, but Of late the question has
not been strongly agitated.
The measure does not provide or
intend to eliminate the tax on franch-
ises, from which the city derives con-
siderable revenue. Those advocating
the ordinance claim that good many
cities in America charge no license ior
doing business.

Abdui Hamid,s Fortune.

Berlin, Dec. abdul Hamid, de.
posed sultan OF Turkey, will probably
suffer the loss OF the greater part OF bi;
stolen fortune through the action today
OF the Supreme Court OF the empire
which ordered the Imperial Bank Of
Berlin to pay Abdul the So, 1000, DOC
which he deposited in the bank several
years ago. 1t is considered inevitable
that the young Turks will seize thi;
money the moment it is registered tc
to the deposed ruler.
The bank had refused TO turn over
the money on the ground that Abdul's
request for 1t was forced by the Young
Turks, who wanted TO get the fortune
where they could lay their hands on it.
The bank argued that as the order
which Abdul gave for the withdrawal
Of his funds did not bear the correct
seal that had been agreed upon, and il
was certain that the order had been OBJ
tanned under duress. The Supreme
Court decided that the order was valid
and bore the genuine signature OF the
royal deposition aud must be honored,
despite what may become ofthe fortune
involved.

Liberal, and Allies stili Lead.

London, Dec. .6.-Arthur J. Balfour,
conservative leader OF England, was
today dubbed the William j. Bryan
of England politics. F"
This appellation was applied i'll view
OF the now certain decisive defeat OF the
conservatives in the general election
now in progress. The defeat will
mark the third successive one for Bah
four as leader OF the unionists.
The strongest pressure IS brought 70
bear to force Balfour out Of the leader
ship.
His offer to submit the question Of
a protective tariff to the people in the
shape OF referendum, in the event OF
the unionists success, is considered
by many as the leaders crowning po-
litical blunder. !,
There is every indication today that
the liberals and allies will increase
their present majority in the next
parliament. They had net majority
OF one at the beginning OF today's pol
ling, having steadily cut down the
conservative gains since the first day.
Out of 299 constituencies, the unionists
have elected 147, liberals log. Irish
nationalist % and Iaborites 20. This
gives the coalition l55. or one more
seat than they had in the same district
in the last parliament.

The Ballinger-PinchOt Report.

Washington, Dec. Absolutely
generating Secretary Of the Interior
BalIinger OF all charges brought against
him, the report OF the Ballinger-Pin'
chot investigating committee was pres
ented to Congress at noon today. The
report, as framed by the majority
members OF the committee, sums up
its findings by declaring that sec
rotary Ballinger is not an enemy OF or
hostile to reasonable and judicious
policy OF conservation, and that no
ground whatever had been shown justi-
fying the opinion that he is not a
faithful and efficient public officer.
The report Of the COMMITTEES is yolu-
minous, containing 81 printed pages.
The report declares:
That the charges and insipuations
against Secretary Ballinger in regard to
the Cunningham coal-land entries OF
other coal-land claims in Alaska are
not justified and his conduct in respect
there is not justly censurable; also thai
he was, under the circumstances stated,
fully justified in rcvoking the Indian
cooperative agreement, and that the
restorations OF water-power sites by
Secretary Ballinger was made in good
faith and not in enmity TO the govern
ment and policy OF conservation o.
natural resources, but pursuant TO an
honest opinion as to the legality OF the
Withdrawals. After a lengthy review
OF the evidence produced before the
committee with regard to The Cunning
ham claims, the committee declares
that it finds no indication OF bad faith
on the part OF Ballinger, Commissioner
of the Land Office Schwartz or the rep
resentatives OF the Cunningham in
terests. The committee commend:
CLAWS for sending the telegram which
led Ballinger to revoke the order clear
listing the Cunningham claims, ant
Ballinger is commended for so promptly
acting upon it. The report is signed
by Senators Nelson, (Minn.,) Flint
CAL Sutherland, (Utah.) Root, On
| Y. ,)aud Representatives Mccall, (Mass.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

That four out Of five states whose
legislatures have pronounced against
the income tax amendment to the con-
stitution, as provided by the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, will reconsider their
decision and align themselves with the
states supporting the provision, is the
opinion of its authors Senator Brown,
Of Nebraska.
Mr.. Brown is very confident also
that the amendment will be ratified by
the legislatures Of more than the re-
quisite three-fourtbs Of the states dur
ing the present winter. Already eight
states-Alabama, South Carolina, Hi
nois, Maryland, Kentucky, Mississippi,
Oklahoma and Georgia-have passed
ratification resolutions.
New York, Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts, Virginia and Louisiana have
refused to indorse the proposition, but
Mr.. Brown declares that there is strong
reason to believe that the legislatures
elect OF those states, with probably one
exception, will consider and ratify.
