MAKING CHANGE

orderly arrangement than Is custo-
mary in the smaller business traa-
sactions of our daily life. Usually
our change is shot back in little
metal box via miniature overhead
railroad. The clerk pulls the crump-
led wad hastily apart to verify the
amount, and stuffs 1t into your
hand. That is the system.
If the customer be woman, well
and good, for she stuffs the ball in
her bag or pocketbook in very much
the same way and departs. At the
end of days shopping she sits
down with pencil and paper, makes
calculations that would bewilder a
mathematical astronomer, talking
to herself the while, pulls the wads
apart, counts the bills, then, her
account made up. stuffs them back
again in very much the same disor-
derly condition. The system suits
her well: she can even carry pennies
among her silver change without a
feeling of irritating discomfort.
But with man it is different. He
is methodical, fussy even, about the

his element of the party. Already
there is talk that, if Senator LATE
Young, who has been appointed by
Governor Carroll, cannot be elected,
the standpatters will combine with the
independent progressives and elect
senator who will be a progressive, but
who will not be controlled by SEN
ator Cummins. Lieutenant Governor
George w. Clarke is the man favored
In that contingency. 1t is said that
Clarke controls fifteen votes, which,
with the conservatives, would be a
majority of the caucus. The possible
combination is dangerous to Senator
Cummins, because Clarke comes from
a county adjoining Cummins' and
should he be chosen the anti-Cummins
element would be furnished an argu-
ment when his term expired in the
expediency of choosing senators from
different sections of the state. What

ed two adjoining and communicating
brick buildings through unprotected
window openings gave a reduction of
lo.2 per cent on building for four ten
ants and on stock ranging from 1872
per cent to 1874 per cent. On these
SIX buildings the average reduction
was 4l.o per cent and on the twelve
stocks OF merchandise 500 per cent.
Our business men should learn from
these examples that they can get low
er rates of insurance and safety FOR
their business by reducing their haz-
ards. The insurance companies fit
the rate to the risk. If the hazard is
increased, the rate goes up; If it IS
reduced, it goes down. In sense the
property owner can make his own
rate. Many of the Improvements for
which liberal concessions are given

this country, most of it due to care
lessness, and the property owner pays
the bill in his insurance rates. The
way to get lower rates is to have less
losses. Frame sheds in the rear OF
business blocks are not the only
sources of danger but if there are
such fire breeders in this town they
should be removed. The reduction in
rates is well worth while as the eau
ton business men found to their sur.
prise. but the municipal and general
benefit is even more important, for
the change may prevent conflagra-
ton some day.

THE MESSAGE

! President Tafts annual message to
congress, submitted to that body to-
day. is quite a voluminous document.
1t contains over 35 900 words and if
printed in full in the type used on
this paper it would occupy about
four and one-half pages. In or
der to bring it within the convenience
OF the average reader we present an
abridgement of it containing all its
important features.
The message opens with a lefer-
ence TO our foreign relations, which
are upon a highly satisfactory basis.
Arbitration and the peace commission
are discussed in this connection, fol-
lowed by review of treaties negoti-
ated and other diplomatic proceed
ings during the past year Strong ar
suments are adduced in favor of a
merchant marine, and it is recon-
mended that the application of civil
service principles to the diplomatic
and consular service be extended and
made more complete. In discussing
the tariff the President taxes ocaa-
sion 10 say that 1.-The schedules OF
tee rates of duty in the Payne tariff
act have been subjected to a great
deal of criticism, some of it just,
more OF it unfounded, and to much
misrepresentation. He comedies
that the time in which the tariff was
prepared undoubtedly was so short
as to make it impossible for the con-
gress and its experts to acquire the
information necessary strictly to con-
form to the declared measure, hence
the necessity tor the recently-constitut-
ed tariff board, which will consider
the whole subject carefully in detail
The several departments of the gov
eminent are reviewed in turn and
recommendations made regarding
each. AS was expected the Panama
canal comes in for q large share Of
attention and is Interestingly and in
formingly discussed. Postmaster
General Hitchcock's fine administra-
ton of the postoffice department
is highly praised. especially the re-
duction In the annual deficit, and the
iIipol Is uduc
that postmasters of the first, second
and third classes, as well as of the
fourth class, be put in the classified
service. This would require the pas
sage of an act changing the method of
their appointment, so as to take
away the necessity for the advice and
consent of the senate. The President
is satisfied this would result in reliev-
ing congressman of trouble and in Sc
curing from postmasters greater at
tention to business, greater fidelity,
and consequently greater economy
and efficiency in the postoffices.
The document throughout is an able
one and merits cordial endorsement
No one who would inform himself
concerning national affairs should
miss reading it.

TAXES AND EXPENDED uREs.

The state auditors report for the
last biennial period, just issued, con-
rains a full financial statement of the
taxation and expenditures not of the
state alone but of all the counties.
From this it is found that the people
of Iowa paid in taxes in one year a
total of s31,2S1 ,231.4S. In addition to
this large sum there was the collec-
ton OF fees in state and county Of
fees which is not included.
OF the sum named as raised by di-
rect tax levies the state tax amount
ed to S2.317,O61.36 in 1909, the largest
sum in the history of the state. The
taxes for roads amounted to two and
half million dollars and for bridges
a like sum. The schools cost over
twelve million dollars.

LOWER RATES OF INSURANCE.

Business men who want lower fire
insurance rates should profit by the
lesson recently taught a number of
merchants at Canton, Ill. These had
their rates cut almost in two by the
removal of a frame rear building
which had connected four brick build
ings on the public square. making it
practically certain that a fire starting
in one would communicate TO the 9TH
ers. On the two smaller buildings
the reduction was 534 per cent and
$50 per cent, and on the larger 80
per cent, while on the contents the
reduction was within or per cent
of as much
The modern system of schedule
rating credits risks with their good
points and charges them for their de-
fects. This enables the owner to Sc
cure material reductions by making
reasonable improvements. The Can
ton merchants had been told that
they could get lower rates if they
would remove the frame exposure IN
the rear, but they took no action Be
cause the shed had always been there,
they assumed that it always had TO
be there. But Canton has an up-to-date
council. which appreciates the need
of reducing the fire waste of the coua-

houses are paying very much lower
insurance rates, and they have found
that they can get along just as well
