BIC CITY SHAKEUP
Mayor Billiard Will ReOrganize
Fire Department.
Stations No. 8 and No. 2 Will
Be Combined.
DO AWAY WITH THE HORSES
Only Motor Apparatus at Down
town Headquarters.
Reduce Number of Firemen-
Sell Old Building.

When Mayor Billiard completes MS
plans for the reorganization of the To-
peka fire department it is anticipated
at the city hall that $4,000 a year can
be saved from the estimates Tor tne
maintenance of this work. The mayor
will combine stations No, and 3. BUY
motor apparatus and do away with all
the horses at the headquarters engine
house and shift the entire working
force including the reduction OF tne
numb i of firemen employed
Station No 3 will be combined with
the headouarters'' house at Seventh and
Quincy streets Two motor tractors VIII
be purchased to handle the big TRUCKS
at the combined stations. The coloreo
company at No. will be reduced and
the remainder of the men sent to an
outlying station. The old steamer al
No will be sent to North Topeka
All downtown apparatus Will De Sta-
toned at the headquarters
Eventually it is the plan of the mayor
to do away with every horse at the
downtown engine house. Nothing but
motor apparatus at this station.
steamer. TWO trucks, two chemicals
and a hose wagon under motive power
will be maintained at the leading sta
tior at Seventh and Quincy streets.
Will Save $4,000 a Year.
1t is figured that the city can save
$4,000 a year with the new organiza-
ton. After the city sells a number
of the horses, the old building where
No. 8 is stationed, saves the feed that
is purchased every year for the horses,
and economies on the payrolls, the
estimate OF $4,000 is considered low by
the commissioners.
Il believe we can do it, Mayor Bill
lard commented. We can buy two mo-
tor tractors Immediately after the
change. We can place all this APP
paratus in the No. > station. The mo
tor machines take up much less room
than the horses. We can economic
in a number of ways.
THE fire department is the city's
heaviest expense-and of course, most
valuable asset. But with the motors
and the reorga nization I believe we
can lower it. The plans have not beer
com pleted-I have made known my
report as soon as possible"

The indictment of Clarence barrow
at Los Angeles, instead of some I'M
derling, is encouraging. He probably
won't be convicted, but even the in
dictment may serve as a deterrent in
some degree in the future. To any
person not inhamed by class preju-
dice and hatred, it has long been evi.
dent that the situation at Los An
geles is a trial of popular govern
ment against anarchy. Whether Oar.
row is technically guilty of the Of
ence charged, it is to be hoped the
trial will show truthfully, but that he
has been the chief legal tool of a
gang of cowardly murderers, has al
ready been proved conclusively to
the satisfaction of all who are able to
look at the situation without preiu-
dice. His occupation, during the
past few months, has been about in
the same class as protecting mon
sters in human form to shoot women
and children from ambush 1t should
be borne in mind that the trouble at
Los Angeles arose not over any de-
mand for better wages or improved
conditions, but was wholly an at
tempt to terrify and ruin political
and social opponents, who, whether
wrong or right, had the unquestioned
privilege OF believing as they chose
There was not even a charge Of op
preston, extortion or unfair treat
ment-it was merely a cold-bloodeC
wholesale murder of innocent PEG
pie to pay a partisan grudge.

For State Treasurer

Walter f. Scott, cashier Of the
Brandon National Bank, Is a candid
ate for state treasurer, notwithstand-
ing that the Groton Times remarks
that THE man who opposes +. H..
Deavitt for state treasurer is not lack
ing in courage
The Groton Times. perhaps without
any amount OF study over the ques-
ton, presents the key to the situa-
ton. 4 man who has confidence in
his abilities to perform a task does
not lack the courage TO attempt II.
Mr.. Scott and Mr.. SCOTS friends
and acquaintance have the fullest
confidence in his ability to perform
the duties of state treasurer and
therefore Mr.. Scott is not lacking in
the courage to ask the people for re-
cognition. Mr. SCOTS friends also
have plenty OF courage to take his
name before the voters and ask them
to elect him to the Office.
Mr.. Scott has been identified with
the Brandon National Bank for some
80 years lie knows banking thor.
oughly and the state would not suf'
fer from the change. He has repres'
ented Brandon In the legislature and
! Rutland county in the senate and
| therefore could attend the sessions
with experience behind him to guard
the states interests as its treasurer
| His friends are loyal to the best In
terests OF the state and they would
not advocate a man for state treas
urer whose ability to perform the
| duties OF the Office was not beyond
question. Also. so far as the Union
has knowledge. Mr. Scott Is not "op.
posing Mr.. Deavitt in the sense this
might be interpreted He Is not tell
! ing of the many reasons why he
should be elected or any reasons why
Mr.. Deavitt shoulC be defeated lie
| Is simply answering n more or less
wide demand that he become n can
didate He recognizes that Mr. Dea'
Witt has been q good treasurer and is
not pickering about his administra'
ton of the office. But Mr.. Scott also
recognizes that the office OF state
treasurer belongs to the people and
that they may bestow II upon whom
they please without serious danger Of
being oensured. II is one of the OH.
ces which the people. in their wis.
dom. try and scatter over the state In
fair and impartial manner. Bran
don has not received a state office
for years and she cannot be consid.
ed too forward In asking for this.
Neither should Washington county
earn the reputation OF the greedy boy
for having tried to grab more than
It's share OF the official plums. These

vice, should be distributed over the
state. and that's good argument why
the treasurership should come to

A Sound and Growing Saving Bank

A Sound and Growing Saving Bank
That every Savings Bank in Yer
mont Is sound one there can be no
question OF doubt The confidence
placed in our home institutions is evil
denced by the recently published re-
port Of Bank Commissioner f. c..
Williams, which shows a gain in
deposits for the past year by nearly
every savings institution; and, if a
banks increase in deposits is emblem
attic OF its soundness and strength,
then the old Marble Savings Bank of
Rutland occupies a leading position
It's 5Sth semi-annual statement at the
close of business December goth 1911,
has Just been issued. The institution
shows a splendid gain in deposits for
the year ended and is in a prosperous
condition.
Within the past four years this
savings bank has gained in net depos-
its which means taking out the inter
est added to the accounts, upwards OF
half a million dollars. During this
time it has gone from the ninth pos
ition in size, among the twenty one
savings banks of the state, to the
sixth,--certainly a showing gratifying
70 officers, trustees ard patrons alike.
Nearly all the money invested by
the Marble Savings bank is placed in
first mortgages on farms, or real es-
tate. It is the safest security on
earth, and in the more than a quarter
of q century OF existence of this saw
ings bank not a dollar has ever been
lost on a farm loan.
Besides this careful management OF
its affairs. governed by directors who
direct" the Marble Savings bank car
ries a large reserve, or surplus, fund
which, together with interest on in
vestments, amounts to over pei
cent Of its total deposit, being in ex
cess of the amount NECESSARY by law
in paying per cent interest on de
posits
AS evidenclng the safety of making
deposits by mail. it may be stated that
in the years OF business OF the Mar
bic Savings bank, not a dollar II
transit has ever been lost by eithel
bank or depositor 1t is perfectly
safe to make deposits by persona
