ACTUAL TRUST BUSTING

Already the Democratic party i, demonstrating that it can handle
the trust question with which the Republican party vrrslcd so long
and with such prohthess results
The bluffs and grand stand plays which characterized the pre-
viouS administrations when dealing with the trusts have given way
to a genuine effort to curb and regulate them.
The trusts themselves recognize this fact for they know that
the law, if properly executed, will put them out of business, and they

Neither the Roosevelt nor the TAFT admins tratiOn were. in a
position to fight the trusts. The campaign money that elected them
came from the Golfers of tainted wealth, and they had 10 make a
thorough bargain with the law breakers before they could raise the
snews OF war to carry IN the campaigns.
The Democratic party went into the fight not only refusing to
accept any financial assistance from trust sources, but lighting on a
platform that condemned the methods by which intrcnchcd wealth
OF the country violated the Sherman act.

HAD A SMALL BLAZE.

The. Democrat office came very
near having the opportunity Of put
ting on a fire sale this week as the
result Of a little blaze in the office
Sunday evening about 9 O'Clock. Fore
man John Meyers had gone to the
office to light the burner on the limo
type and when, he struck the match
some gasoline which had escaped
from the tank Immediately ignited
and a big blaze resulted Immediately.
A call was sent in Immediately fol-
the fire department but Mr. Meyers
with the assistance of Frank Post
and Clyde Carson, who were on the
scene in short time, succeeded in
smothering the flames with a large
press cover and water before the fire
department could arrive, and before
amy damage was done except to burn
off some Of the wall paper In the
linotype room.

WHEAT AND HEADER BURN.

Cecil Keltner, who lives on one Of
the Putnam farms nor,h Of Hoising-
ton, was another Barton county farm
er who suffered considerable less
IS the result of the careless handling
o, matches by one OF his harvest
crew. Ke3tner was cutting in one
Of his fields about O'Clock Wednee
Jay afternoon when one Of the men
dropped a lighted match into the
stubble and in an instant the flames
we're beyond control. Mr. Keltner at
tempted to cut a fire guard AROUND
the blaze with the header, but the
teams crowded so close to the blaze
that the wooden parts Of the machine
were destroyed, so 1t was necessary
for him TO purchase a new machine.
The fire burned a V shaped patch
throuh the field and Il is estimated
that at least 400 bushels of wheat
were destroyed, Smoking IN the
wheat fields should be absolutely pro,
hibited by the farmers at all times
and especially when the wheat is as
heavy and the westher as dry as It
has been this harvest.

DON'T LIKE THE TAX.
Protest Is Being Made Against the
New Occupation Tax.

A number of protests, which have
been hberally signed, have been cir
culated the past week, protesting to
the city commissioners against the re
cent occupation tax ordinance pass
ed BY that body, and it Is more than
likely that the action Of the city
board will be repealed.
The Democrat man Is strongly in
favor of am equitable and Just occu-
patton tax, but he is not in favor of
one that does not tote fair and
makes one business or firm pay more
In proportion than another. There IS
injustice in tax which would require
one firm which probably does a ten
thousand dollar a year business pay
hall as much tax as another firm thal
does from twenty-five to fifty times
as much business, and according to
our way of looking at things that is
Just about what the ordinance adoCt.
ed by the Great Bend commissioners
does. Let's have an occupation tax,
but for the love Of Mike, give US one
that is somewhere near fair.

WHEAT FIELDS BURN.
Big Loss To East Side Farmers
Caused BY Sparks From Train.

Fire started. Friday morning about
10 o'clock in the wheat field Of Rob
ert Erba, east Of town, supposedly
from the engine Of Santa Fe pasSen-
ger No. 6, as it had Just passed, and
although one harvesting crew were
within a few feet of the blaze when
it started and a number of other har-
vest crews Immediately rushed to
the scene to help, yet before the fire
was subdued it had burned over a
hundred acres Of good wheat. Mr..
Erbe had about 10 acres destroyed,
Steve Senko about So acres and Tony
Matzek 20 acres. All of this was
good wheat and will mean a big less
unless the railroad company settles
for the damage done.
