Fire Losses.
he Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Fire losses in the United States and
Canada for the eight months ending
August 81 were sl6'. 1860. against S161,-
c55.:,J0 in 1911 and sl47.647.3U0 in 1910
The difference of about sI.OOO,OO0 between
this years record and last years should
be encouraging to those who have la
bored for better understanding by the
public OF means of preventing losses
Our total. however. for any recent
period is still far too great, and there
is need of continuing the educational
campaign against methods of building
that result in disastrous fires. and against
slipshod means of fighting fire. Eventu-
ally We must come to such permanence
of buildings as obtains in European coun-
tries, and he who builds wisely now or
in the future will build wisely il he
makes his plans for permanence rather
than cheapness of construction. We
must have also laws that place more
justly responsibility for fires. The day
of fimsy building is past foi this coun-
try. Insurance rates are tax on the
community and the nation for which they
are made. They should be lowered srea t
" for the United States and Canada
through a record of smaller losses.

THE SILENT POWER.
Part Which Roumania May Play in
Prospective Balkan War.

From the New York Tribune.
The most interesting feature of the sit
uation in southeastern Europe Is the 81
lence of Roumana. No hint of policy
or intentions has come from Bucharest.
No particular agitation is apparent in the
press of that country. The four Balkan
states and Turkey have mobiliZed their
armies and are in a state of preparation
for war, while Austria Hungary is also
virtually ready, but if Roumania has
done anything of the sort the world has
not been permitted to know it. So far
as appears on the surface, the great
power which lies between the Danube and
the Carpathiahs Is slumbering in pro-
found unconcern.
That such is the case, however. is not
for a moment supposable. On the con-
trary, there Is scarcely q country Of them
all whose interest is keener or deeper
than that of Roumania in the impending
rcadiustment of affairs in that part of
the world Her size and her position
moreover, qualify her for playing an ex-
ceedingly important part in war. Her
seven million population, under univer-
sal compulsory service. could put a pow
erful army into the field, the quality Of
which would be vouched for by those who
remember how Roumanian troops turned
the tide of battle and saved Russia from
disastrous defeat at the climax Of the
last Russo-Turkish war; Her territory,
bounded by river and mountains, forms
a barrier between Austria Hungary and
Russia on the one hand and Bulgaria on
the other. and marches with Bulgaria
at the north as Turkey does at the south
AS for Bucharest. it has been regarded
as the most powerfully fortified city in
the world.
What part Roumania would take in a
Balkan war is problematic. In 1877 she
was against Turkey. But there Is no
assurance that she would be thus aligned
in 1912 Her antagonism toward Russia,
whom she saved from disaster in 1877.

OLD IDEA IN NEW FORM

Lon Xbus has started a monthly
journal at Fallon which is named
1.-THE National Statesman In his
s~aiutatory, the editor states that the
object of the publication is to obtain
the enactment of substantially the
following law:
"Be it enacted: That one person
may acquire, not to exceed three times
100 acres of land, that one person may
rot acquire beyond $4,000 in stocks
of any corporation. Persons acquiring
beyond the amount herein specified,
are subject to notice of contest of
right. Contestants establishing a VIC
lation of amount of acquisition, have
the first right to file on the property
as in homestead entries, and have the
right to receive the same, by paving
the taxes on the property for a period
Of two years. In other words the
property must remain in the hands of
the contestant for a period of two
years before he can convey title.o
This is an old idea put in new form.
In the latter 70's Ignatius Donnelly,
the pioneer American reformer, whose
ideas, since his death in the CO.'S, have
been flched by Bryan and many of the
other so-called reformers of the pres
ent day, was sent to Congress from a
Minnesota district. At that early day
he clearly saw that the tendency of
the times was towards concentration.
In the latter SOS he illustrated this
idea perhaps more forcibly in his
Caesars Column one of the most
popular books ever written.
But Donnelly's remedy for the evil
was a graduated income tax. Com
merce On incomes of $4,000 per year
with a small tax, and increase, on a
graduated scale, until all above $780,
600 per year is taxed 100 per cent.
The advisability of limiting human
endeavor and ambition is a grave
question, but if it is to be done, it
would seem that Donnelly's method
would prove the most effective.
