MIR. TAFT HAS
SPRAINED ANKLE

Washington, D. c., Sept. 4.-Upon
the advice of Major T. l.. Rhodes, U.
S. A., his personal aide and physician,
Mr.. Taft took to his bed for a few
hours today, expecting to remain
there until the garden party this af-
ternoon in honor of delegates to the
international congress of applied
chemistry. 1t was said at the White
House that the president needed rest
and that he was suffering from a
lame ankle, which he sprained few
days ago while playing golf.
In addition to a sprained ankle and
sore foot, President Taft is suffer
ing from a light attack of gout. His
comparatively long siege with little
opportunity for his usual exercise is
partly to blame for his condition, ac-
cording to friends. 1t is believed that
a week of rest on the yacht Mayflow
er and then Beverly will put the
president on his feet again. Presi-
dent Taft declined to comment on
the election returns from Vermont.

Ocean Park, Calf, Sept 4.-Twelve
persons, including one woman and
the six children of s. ]. Zarde, a
wealthy summer resident, have been
missing since the outbreak of the
flames which devastated an area of
six blocks along the Strand last night
and wiped out the entire amusement
section of the resort. Soldiers and
police, guarding the ruins, were un-
able to find any of the missing ones
up to an early hour today, and ex-
pressed the belief that all of them had
met the fate that overlook H. f.
Locke, the restaurant cashier, who
lost his life when he leaped off the
blazing Frazer pier.
Two companies of militia are on
guard today, and the town is still I'M.

A fore of approximately 1000 men
are at work clearing railroad rights

Mr.. Zarde became frantic today
when the police and soldiers reported
that his children and the woman who
was acting as their nurse could not
be found He said that the children
and the nurse were at the pier about
The time the flames burst forth at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. They
have not been heard from since.
The five other persons numbered
the missing were on the pier,
hemmed in by the flames. Life guards
say they saw at least twelve persons
leap with Locke into the ocean. Only
seven were rescued
There was some looting during the
night, but with the coming of daylight
every one was driven out of the fire
zone.
Not cent Of insurance was carried
on Frazer's pier, and but little on
any of the other buildings destroyed.
Estimates of losses, which ran as
high as $3,500,00O last night, were re-
luced today to S1,75O,000.

ASSESSMENTS AND

1t is a fact we'll known that the
larger the properties the less taxes
they pay in proportion to what the
small properties do. 1t would seem
to be strict justice that taxes should
be paid in proportion to the benefits
received from the government, and
not in proportion to ability to pay or
the advantages in collecting same.
The business man or merchant or me-
chanic cannot fix price in proper
tion to the ability of the customer to
pay. While we are seeking to raise
revenue out of everything that we can
get our eyes on, we should not permit
the large properties to escape their
fair and equal share of the public
burden. To do SO and to load it upon
the small properties is both morally
and economically wrong and is
ruinous to the development of our
county, state and nation. 1t prevents
the development of opportunities and
encourages the Withholding of our
natural resources. THE increased
population during the last 20 years
has increased the demand for lumber
and coal, at least five hundred per
cent and the corporations have taken
the advantage of the situation and
arbitrarily advanced the price to suit
themselves. These corporations close
their camps to all outside trade, so
far as their employees are concerned.
