MOVEMENT TO BUY GUN
PLANTS IN us. RUMORED
German Interests Said to Have
Sought to Purchase Small Arms
Manufactures.

There is strong reason to credit that
German interests have been engaged
in comprehensive movement to buy
up the small arms manufacturing
plants of the United States and also
have considered the acquisition of am
munition manufacturing plants
Governmental officials will not di-
vulge what they know of the matter
There is, however an undercurrent of
talk and opinion that leaves no doubt
that the United States government is
in possession of some informa ton,
vague or positive, that points positive
ly to Germanic activity in this direc-
ton. What factories have been COM
pretended in the scheme it is impos-
sible to designate, but it is the apar-
emily well-founded suspicion that all
the bigger plants of the United States
We're to be included in the program
1t also is supposed that the publicity
given to the movement is likely to
give il its quietus. American stock
holders, it is believed, will not de-
liberately lend themselves to the project
when its purposes are made clear to
them. and Will not accept even the
magnificent compensation offered with
the END in prospect.

Three Big Concerns Mentioned.

Among the concerns that have been
mentioned as embra ced in the Ger
manic scheme of acquisition are: The
Union Metallic Cartridge Company, the
bennington Arms Company and the
Winchester Repeating Arms Company,
three of the big arms and ammunition
plants of the United States. The al
legged object was not to operate these
plants to supply the German army, but
to shut off a source of supply to the
enemies of Germany.
There is reason to believe that both
the Department of Justice and the
Treasury Department are in possess
sion of information on the subject
The bureau of investigation Of the De-
partment of Justice is supposed to have
made investigation, which is still
continuing 1t also is supposed that
the results Of Investigations by both
departments have been laid before the
President and have been discussed in
the cabinet.

For some time past complaints
have been regularly made be-
cause of the fact that we have no
marshal in the town, and the town
board has met with some unjust
criticism on this score. At the
Meeting Saturday. night, ii was
brought out that if the citizens
Of the town would all pay their
taxes that are due, the town
would have enough cash on hand
to pay the salary of a marshal for
year in advance, as well as meet
ing all the other expenses, and
doing a little work on the streets
and roads in addition. But the
taxes are not all paid, and the re-
suit is that a few citizens who are
public spirited and far-sighted
enough to pay their taxes when
due, are carrying the entire burd-
en- of the towns finances, while
every citizen gets the benefit.
And, by this method, the board
are always handicapped by lack
of funds, and are barely able to
meet current expenditures. We
have no marshal, and not one cent
is available for street work, badly
as it is needed. This is a danger
Gus state of affairs, and it was in
timated at the board meeting that
steps would be taken at once to
remedy the matter. The tax col
lector will be instructed to see
that all arrears are paid at once
failure to do so, will make the
property owner liable for ad
ditional costs when the property
is advertised. Surely any one can
see that putting off a tax bill is
bad business policy. 1t has to bt
paid, and the longer it runs, the
bigger it gets and the harder to
pay. Everybody should know that
a town cannot be run without
funds, and it is not fair for few to
stand the entire expense, and the
board is evidently going to see
that every one is put ON an equal
basis in this respect. SO, if you
want to avoid having your proper
ty advertised and additional costs
added to the present bill, you had
better pay your taxes at once.

This, the first issue of the New
Year, prompts us to make a few
good resolutions for 1915, and in
order to live up to them we ask
our subscribers to aid us as much
as possible. In the first place we
want to make The Times the best
county paper in the State, and to
do this We want your cooperation.
When you have an item of news
that is of interest to the commu-
nifty, letus have it. Il you go visit,
ing or have friends call on you, or
if anything of interest transpires,
tell us about it. By doing so, it
will help the paper, and incident
ally, help you. If you live in the
county, write us a few items each
week, about what you and your
neighbors are doing. This gives
those in other parts of the county
a chance to see how progressive
you are, and we will be glad to
furnish stationery and stamps to
you for that purpose, as well as to
send you the paper free of charge.
If you are already a subscriber
you may send it to some friend.
Another thing that we ask is
that all our subscribers who are
in arrears will pay up to date,
and, if possible, for a year in ad-
vance. We don't want the post
office inspector jumping on us
with a fine for carrying unpaid
subscribers on our list, and we do
not want to deprive any person of
the paper who is not able, at the
present moment, to pay for it. We
have never had the pleasure of
meeting all our subscribers, and
so cannot judge as to their ability
or willingness TO pay, as we might
be able to do so by personal &C
quaintance, and if you happen to
be temporarily financially EN-
barassed, you have simply to ac-
quaint us with that fact, and you
will receive your paper as usual.
of course, you will be expected to
pay it later on, but you will find
us reasonable to do business with.
Also, if you happen to receive a
statement from us with the re-
quest to pay your subscription, do
not get mad. and threaten to stop
the paper. As you probably know,
the editor has TO pay his bills, and
with the cost of everything con-
nected with the printing business
soaring TO the skies, it is no easy
matter TO make ends meet unless
our subscribers leone across. T"
We want TO start the new year

The political situation has been
further developed during the past
week by the announcement from
Representative Stanley that he
would be a candidate for the
Governors chair in the Demo
cratic primary in August. 1t has
been expected for some time that
Mr.. Stanley would be a candidate
for the nomination, but it was not
until a few days ago that he made
the formal announcement. Mr..
Stanley has many friends in
Powell county, and he will be a
hard man to beat, in spite of the
fact that he will have some strong
men to compete with. Auditor
Bosworth is already in the game,
and, from his record in that of
flee, has made many friends, who
will give him strong support.
Other candidates are expected to
announce shortly, and after that
the active campaigning will
start in earnest. An effort is be-
ing made by many Democrats to
have Senator Camden make the
race for Governor, but he stated
some time ago that he would make
no decision until after March 4,
when his term as Senator expires.
Several other prospective candi-
dates are hanging fire" at pre-
sent but the end of this month will
see nearly all with their hats in
the ring.
