MURDERED BEFORE FIRE.
Foul Play Preceded Burning of Lit
sew Home.

Chanute, Kan, Jan 9.-Death by
fire which started from an unknown
source was the verdict of the coroner
jury at Kimball, Kan, which investi-
gated the deaths of J. w. Litsey, his
wife and three children in a fire that
destroyed their home. The evidence
at the inquest although entirely cir
cumstantial, indicated that the mem
bers of the family were the victims of
murder and arson.
The remains of the victims were
taken to Erie and placed in the Bap-
fist church from which the funeral
will be held. The bodies will be bur-
led in Erie cemetery.
A shotgun was found in the room
with the dead family, although neigh
bors testified the weapon was invari-
ably kept in another room. One shell
in the gun showed that it had been
exploded by the hammer of the gun
and not by the fire.

What Will the Bankers DO?

After reading the interview OF the Forums report
err with Mr.. McFadden, secretary of the North Dako-
Ia Bankers association, in yesterdays paper, the
action of the state board Of equalization covering
assessment of bank stock was investigated"
The only action taken by the board was that OF
reducing or increasing by percentage, the return by
the county board Of equalization, so that bank stock
for the several counties was left approximately at
the figures for 1912.
Mr.. Birdzell chairman of the tax commission, was
present at the meeting of the board when bank stock
assessment was being considered He presented to
the board a simple statement, showing the percent
ages of actual value at which bank stock had been
returned by the counties, Some counties were MISS
ing from the list. He asked the board to name a
percentage of the actual value at which they wished
bank stock to be assessed, and proposed the tax
commission should then reassess. The law provides
how the returns of the counties shall be made, so
the board could not adopt the scheme OF MI. blrdzeu.
He then stated to the board that no matter what
action the state board took, tthe assessment OF bank
stock would be readjusted by the tax commission.
No doubt Mr.. Birdzell has definite plans whereby
his statement can be carried out. There is ample
time before taxes are due for the tax commission to
make This reassessment-and if the tax commission
does as Mr.. Birdzell said they would do, there VIII
he no need for the bankers going to court-and there
YOU are.

The Trust Question

After the tariff and currency bills nave been passed
the biggest task remains, for then congress will nave
to grapple with the trust question. Republicans, bull
moosers and democrats, all agree that the sherman
antitrust law must be amended to remedy the present
industrial situation. How to satisfactorily amend the
antitrust law is the difficult problem.

MONOPOLY" Competition is self-destructive, he says
and combinations are inevitable and necessary. TheT
existence is ~justifaed by the elimination Of waste anu

abuse he advocates regulated monopoly with the power
Of regulation lodged in the hands of a commission
similar to the interstate commerce commission, ana
with power as extensive.
AS against regulated monopoly there are those
who deny the inevitableness Of the breakdown OF
competition. They insist that the solution OF the
monopoly problem lies in the direction OF rehioiltat-
ing and safeguarding competition. This View seems

Mayor GaynOr

Last Wednesday afternoon, while OH a vacation
trip to Europe, Mayor Gaynor OF New York City died
suddenly on the steamship Baltic, in mid.ocean. HIS
death is believed to have been caused by the Duliet
fired by the assassin, Gallagher, three years ago,
which the surgeons were unable to remove. Mayor
Gaynor's career was a remarkable one. Born on his
fathers farm, near Whitestonc, Oneida county, New
York, in 1851, his early life was a bitter struggle with
poverty and his hoyhood was one of hard toll.
After graduating from the milestone academy,
he taught school in Boston. Afterwards he located in
Utica, N, Y. where lie studied law, in the office OF
Ward Hunt, who later became justice of the supreme
court of the United States. In 1875 he moved to Fiat
bush, l.. !. The place was dominated by a ring OF
corrupt politicians, and the young lawyer was sooa IN
the midst Of a campaign fo> reform. Ills spleha1o
fighting qualities attracted the best elements TO lin
and it was not long before he had the satisfaction OF
seeing the corruptionists completely discounted. tie
then moved to Brooklyn and continued the fight Tor
clean politics. He again succeeded in breaking the
corrupt ring within the democratic party, and his
conviction of the notorious political boss and CRATER,
John Kane, gained him a national reputation. lie was
offered the omination for governor by the democrats,
but refused. Mclaughlin, the political boss OF Brook
Ign, offered to nominate him for mayor of that city,
and Richard Croker, the 'Tahmany leader, offered
him the nomination for mayor Of Greater New YORK
but he declined. Then he was unexpectedly nCnhlat-
cd for justice of the supreme court and was elected.
In 1909 he was persuaded to accept the nomination
for mayor of Greater New York. His election was
signaled as a Tammany victory, but although nc was
q party man and a member Of Tamnan" Hall, ne
refused to truckle to Murphy, the Talnmany leader.
He worked for economy and efficiency in the adnhlnls'
tration. of the various departments. Because he Ell
deavored to eliminate inetticiency and graft in the
police department he antagonized Murray. Conse'
ouently, Tammany refused to nominate Or support
Inn for mayor this fall, aad he had deciddei! 70 run
independently this fall.
The death of Mayor Gaynor cfanses the political
situation in New York City. 1t now appears that the
issue in the campaign will be squarely between the
fusionists, composed of republicans and antl'Ta:nMany,
democrats, and %Iammany Hall. The Fusionist calidf'
date for mayor is John P. Mitchell, collector Of the
mort of New York. He is only 81 years old. but he mas
a splendid record for efficiency and thorougnncss III
whatever lie has undertaken. Tammany has named
Judge Mccall. Had Gaynor lived, the Tammany can
didatc would have stood more show of being elected
for Gayllor would undoubtedly have split the anti
Tammany vote. Now, the fusionist candidate Will
probably be successful if Randolph Hearst stays out
of the race. He has not yet been heard from.
