A CAUSE OF WASTE.

Two Of the most important
causes OF economic and health
waste are the rat and the fly. just
at present the rat is foremost on
account of the threatened en-
trance OF plague into our coun-
try. The discovery Of plague in

service, local and national, and

known that rats are a source of
tremendous economic waste, not
only In seaboard cities about
docks and wharfs, but in every |

ROAD ELECTION RECALLED,

Tor reasons that many did not un-

In all proba bility some other
method will be adopted to raise

much to see this important pro-

MUTUAL DEPENDENCE
CITY AND COUNTRY
DISTRICTS,

When the United States census
was being taken in 1910, although
there was no United States in
come tax law in force, the census
takers were ordered to learn the
incomes of prosperous citizens
merely for information,- the re-
turns so made not to be used for
| purposes of taxation.
But Notwithstanding that
pledge information in regard to
incomes in Virginia has got into
the hands of Auditor Moore, OF
that state, and he is using it to
compare its statements with the
figures OF the state tax assessors.
According to the Richmond
TImes-Dispatch there are ten
counties in the State of Virginia
III which no incomes over $4,000
were reported. Incomes of 1000
were not to be taxed, and from
the figures given by the Richmond
paper there were very few tax
able incomes in. the rural districts.
and wherever there were any they |
were in the cities.
The fact may be at the bottom OF
the reality that so MANY people
are leaving the country districts
to get to town, because they hope
1t is easy to get rich there.
Another complaint is made that
horses IN the country districts of
the "Old Dominion are assessed
on an average Of from 500 to $3S
each, the average assessment on
horses in Richmond being 500.
From these facts it is beinp
complained that the country dis
tr cts are trying to make the
cities pay all the taxes. and there
IS talk about placing the matter
before the grand jury.
1t is very bad policy, as it ia
he worst sort of politics, to
rouse a gneeral antagonism be-
ween the country districts and :
he cities, for neither one can ex-
st without the other. The ETY. :
ways pays big share of the
tate tax, but the country out S

Allies, Impatient at Turks Continual
Stalling, Intend to Bring Affairs
To a Crisis by Issuing Ultimatum
==Allies Oppose Any Mediation.
Conference Adourns Till Wednesday, to Allow the
Turks to Complete Tehgraphic Instructions.

London. Dec. 30.-After fortnight
of sparring and feinting, Turkey has
finally shown her hand in the peace
conference. Mediation by the Great
Powers is the Ottoman scheme for
emerging from the war with the best
face for the nation and for the pleni-
petentiaries WHICH the situation will
permit.
The Turkish delegates proposed this
solution in diplomatic guarded terms
at today's session. The meeting was
brief and more strained than any
which preceded it and the Turkish tao
ties were characteristic.
The delegation had received fresh
instructions from the Porte, Rechad
Pasha announced. but part of the
telegram was undeciphefable and must
be repeated 10 Constantinople for
translation. Then Reehad Pasha came
to the point, to which the Ottomans
had been leading up since the begin
ming, in tie opiniou-sof their eppo-
nents. lie declared that he was able
TO state that most of the questions IN
der discussion should he referred to
the Powers. The boundary between
Bulgaria and Turkey was an exeep-
ton; that was a matter. he said, fer
direct settlement between the two
governments.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-12-31

The Turkish delegates then attempt
ed to discuss the questions at issue
informally, hut the allies insisted that
they should put their propositions in
writing. which. after a conference the
Turks said they were not prepared to
do.
The allies propose to bring affairs
by statement in the nature of an
ultimatum at the next session of the
conference, on Wednesday. They ex-
press the determination not to waste
more time in waiting for Geographic
instructions, real or pretended, be-
tween Constantinople and the Turkish
delegates in London, and will meet at
an early hour, Wednesday, to decide
upon their policy.
Mediation has two advantages from
the Turkish viewpoint. The first is
that the tendency of such an arrange
ment always is in the direction of a
compromise. In the second place med
iation would save the Turkish gov
ernment's prestige in the eyes of the
people by making it appear that Tur-
key comedies the sacrifices. which she
inevitably must make to the pressure
of all Europe, instead of at the dieta-
ton of the heretofore despised Balkan
states.
