rather an actual desire to know

Fires Due to C.;.lessness

The greater part of the annual fire
waste in the United State, amount
ing to nearly $3.50, 100000 a year, is
due to careleSsneSS. Much of this is per
sonal, for which property owners are
directly responsible, and much is
municipal, through the liberation by
the authorities of dangerously inflam-
mable construction, laxity in the en-
forcement of building ordinances and
the regulation of explosives and in
damables, failure to insist upon rub
bish being cleaned up, etc. The aver
age citizen should have impressed
upon him his personal responsibility
for his share of the preventable fire
waste in the country, which is drain
ing the national wealth. Every man
can at least see that paper, old boxes
and rubbish are not allowed to &C
in dangerous places and
corners, and can keep
an eye on his lighting and heating
appliances. If these alone are attended
to properly nearly half the fires could
be prevented. In foreign countries
the owner of property is made respon-
'ible for fires originating on his prem
ses and can be held for damages done
5he property of his neighbors. Amer
can independence may not yet be
ready for such degree of regulation,
,ut its necessity could be avoided if
zach citizen would feel his personal
without waiting for a |
aw to enforce it.

form to the principle of state rate
making laid down by the United
States supreme court in the famous
Minnesota case, and other decisions.
the state railroad commission is try
ing to solve the most complicated pro-
blem it has faced since it's organiza-
ton nearly four decades ago.
The commission was to have an
nounced the tentative eastman sched-

so slow, in view of the complexities
of the situation. that it is doubtful
whether it will be ready to submit it's
scale of tariffs within the next two
weeks.
The Chicago Great Western railway
company will establish the state
freight tariffs on all its lines in Min
nesota to determine if these schedules
are confiscatory.
At the time the federal court DIS
missed the injunction obtained by
stockholders restraining railroad COM
panies from enforcing the state tariff
schedules, the Great Western objected,
declaring the rates were confscatory,
and the test is being undertaken by
the road in support of this assertion.
