 Gayley admitted that before the arnaIgamation the big rivals for con trol of the Lake Superior region were the Federal Steel Company and the Carnegie Steel Company. To get a corner, the Carnegie Company, in 1901, swallowed up the Oliver Iron Mining Company which owned three fourths of the stock of the Lake Su- perior Mining Company. But ths rivalry continued, the witness said

 That's the list of applicants from which the board of fire commissioners will name eleven new members of the department-when they get ready to name them. The foregoing list, ae~ cording to apparently authentic fn- formation coming to The Farmer to- day, includes all candidates who have been advised by the board to take physical examinat tions, upon their passing of which formal appointments will be made.
 From the same source, The Farmer learned today that the celay in ap- pointments is caused by the row fol- lowing from the rejection by the eZ- amining surgeon, of one candidate The commissioner who presented thia mans name, at first wanted to force his appointment, despite the surgeonis unfavorabIe report This course has been abandoned, but a new row has deveIoped in the selection of another man, report has it.
 r The board is stf15 maintaining the greatest secrecy relative to the ap- pointments and the reason why they have been held up.
 "There'H be nothing doing today said President W. C.. Taylor this af- ternoon when asked if a meeting of the board had been called.
 According to reports, only one re5ec- ton has been insisted upon by the surgeon and certain members Of the board. Others in the list, 1t is said. barely managed to get by the pre- scribed examination, but will be aD- pointed
 When the commissioners will act is merely a matter of speculation. One or two rows will have to be all threshed out by the board and mem bers thereof who are trying to make good" on political promises, before real action is had.

PAYING PEOPLE TO LIE.

Community selfishness is encourag-
ing dishonesty in Missouri. Virtue
must be indeed its own reward, since
no other reward is in sight
One cf the many faults in the pres
ent system of taxation is that each
county is allowed to assess itself for
state taxes. And each county, for
fear that it should pay little more
than is share, has been consistently
assessing its property lower and
lower. And between the falling rate
of assessment and the increasing need
for public revenue, the community
has been ground by the fancied neces-
sity Of maintaining low rate of tax
alton. Ioesrt it look foolish?
The man who lists his property at
its full value is regarded as more or
less OF an imbecile by his neighbors.
No one likes to do more than his
share. Doesn't the abolition of the
tax liar rest largely upon a radical
revision Of taxing methods.
