Laird and Fire Marshal Lorrie Rice are exeellently kept, reflecting credit upon the officials. An increase of $3S,S6. IA in the net returns of the department oyer the preceding fiscal year is shown. At the same tire the expenses of the de- partment are shown to have decreased by s2S15 43 over the preceding fiscal year.
 The examiner states that Fin the course of the examination it was apparent that some insurance companies doing business in the state had through their interpreta- ton of the law not paid to the depart ment sufficient premium taxes" The ex- aminer states that his interpretation of the law was sustained by the attorney gen. eral, and that immediately thereupon the deputy insurance commissioner at once made demand on the companies for such balance when immediate settlement by the companies was made. The amounts collected aggregated about $1S2644
 Total receipts of the insurance depart ment are shown to have amounted during the fiscal year to $2i2, ,9S9.32, the net re- cepts being s234,6Oi.39

Frazer. secretary-treasurer of the medical department of the university, showed that there was a balance of $325.74 in the of- flee of the treasurer at the time the re- port was made. Total receipts during the period examined amounted to $273Oo %. The books were found to be kept with sys- tenn and care and correct in each instance.

HARMON DEPENDS
 WILSON TARIFF BILL

Milwaukee. January 15,-A wrong imA pression that the Wilson tariff bill caused the hard times in the nineties and that the democratic party have been so long in political exile that the country was made to believe that it was not compe- tent to manage the government, were reasons given by Gov. Judson Harmon. of Ohio, for the four successive defeats of the democratic party. in an address here tonight
 He declared that these handicaps had been thrown aside and that the United democracy of the nation looks forward with hopes in the coming contest.
 Governor Harmon met leading demo- crats during the day and spoke before the City club at luncheon, his remarks being largely of a nonpartisan character.

 Railroad Again Postponed

According to the ruling of Judge J. P. Stiles of the probate court, the further hearing of the condemnation proceedings graph company against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, were con- tinued until the middle of February. The railroad company had entered a plea that the suit was premature. inasmuch as the contract between them and the telegraph company was now in force and would not expire until August, 1912.
 Demurrers to the plea were filed by the attorneys for the Western Union, which were sustained yesterday morning by Judge Stiles. The case will come up for a hearing on it's merits about February 15.

Express Companies officials Doubtful
of Outcome.

New York Dec. 1.-THE executive
officers of the big express companies
are watching the preparations for the
parcels post system with great inter-
est. They frankly confess that they
do not know what effect it will have
on their business
In October last the interstate COM
merce commission gave hearing to
the representatives of the companies
so that they might show reasons, if
they could, why the express rates
should not be reduced. Lawyer Wal
ter d. Hines for the companies said
that it would not be fair to compel
the companies to cut rates on the eve
of the Inauguration of the new parcels
post system which might materially
reduce the business of the companies.
Final action was postponed pending
further hearings.
unfair to compel US to change our
rates at the time when the govern
ment had practically put a powerful
competitor in the field against u.s.
said Mr.. Hines today. 1.-THE fact is
that we do not know what effect the
new parcels post will have on the
business of the express companies
Nor will we know for a long time The
new postal arrangement may hurt US
or it may have an entirely different
effect.
at may be that the parcels post
will create it's own business and leave
the express companies in just about
the same position as they now are. At
the outset a decided change may be
noticed, but in a short time the new
conditions will adjust themselves

LOTS OF woRK-nACK OF LABOR
Democratic Administration TO See
Railway Construction Records.

Washington, Dec. 11.-There will
be more railroad construction work in
1913, the first year of the Democratic
administration than any of the past
i've years and there will not be
enough labor. to take care Of it.
This was the statement today of T.
]. Dolan of Chicago, general secretary
of the Brotherhood of Steamshovel-
men. 1t is part of Mr.. Dolan's duty
to keep in touch with the railroad and
other big construction projects in
which the members of his organization
are particularly Interested.
There are in sight now more than
5000, 100000 worth of railroad con-
struction contracts for next year, -
said Mr.. Dolan. MANY of them have
been signed and the others are we'll
under way. More than $4O,OOO,OOO of
the contracts are for the far west
alone.
THE Northern Pacific, Great North
ern, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific
Santa Fe, Frisco lines. Illinois Central,
Missouri Pacific and ST. Paul roads
are among those which have big con-
struction work ahead for next year."
