That the United States has men of

not improbable events.
Should it devolye on the United

not probable the occupancy will be

REPORT OF THE FIRE AND BUILD.
ING PERMITS COMMITTEE.

Hon. Mayor and Council,
Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen:
Your standing committee on fire
and building permits begs TO report
that the outlay fol the fire depart
ment in 1914 was $24, 5O5Sl; $1,O26
being for new hose, S13,550 for motor
driven fire apparatus, and $3.50 for
chiefs auto, levlang the ordinary ex-
penses at $9,229.S1, being about $45
in excess of 1913 by reason OF re-
pairs at the headquarters.
We have turned over to the public
works, sanitary and police depart
ments, horses valued at over $1,000,
thereby effecting a substantial saw
ing in the matter of new stock for
these departments. The saving in the
matter OF feed will be quite a factor
aonther year, as the item of $S6S. SO
for feed appearing in this years re-
port will disappear in 1915, and if the
present ratio holds good it will be
substituted for about 5000 for gaso-
line and chemicals, these items cost
ing $66.57 for the last four months in
1914, since installation OF the autos.
Another substantial saving is in the
prevention of fire loss for the public
at large, the record in this respect
being most gratifying as the figures
from your fire chiefs report will
show. AS a business proposition we
regard the installation of the motor
apparatus as the best investment the
city has made in years, and there is
still another saving to come in the
shape of reduction in the fire insur-
ance rates. With the department mod
ernized in fire fighting apparatus, the
members of the department seem to
have taken an increased pride in their
duties. The morale OF che department
is high, and your committee takes
pleasure in commencing them collect
lively and individually as earnest. and
faithful employees who discharge their
duties ably and fearlessIy.
The record of building permits for
the year 1914 is 81 for finished work,
covering IS structures at total cost
of $120,33S.

but TO their disappointment they saw

IS ONLY ONE ISSUE

try Nest Injuriously.

IF the Democrats think they can
chloroform the tariff question and get
some other political issue into the
field for the coming campaign. they
are IL for a surprise" declared Rep
resentative-elect Norman J. Gould of
New York.
BY special election on November 2
Mr. Gould, who halls from Seneca
Falls. was elected TO the Sixty.fourth
congress to succeed the late Serene E.
Payne. who was returned for the six
teenth time in 1914 and died last De-
cember.
To the education in tariff matters
which my constituents for thirty years
received from ny revered and la
mented predecessor, Mr.. Payne, and
their unhappy experiences under the
Wilson tariff law of 1898 and the VIII
son-underwood law now bur6ening the
country / attribute in large measure
the remarkable majority of $1,000
given me by the voters of the Thirty
sixth New York district" continued
Mr.. Gould. This is the largest major
ity ever rolled up in this district, be-
ing 5000 greater than any recorded
by my predecessor, showing how valu-
able were his teachings and how thor
oughly they have eeen proved by the
last two years of free trade. The
voters of my district have not for an
instant lost sight of the fact that the
blood of Europe saved them from
depression worse than that of 1898:
that for us the European war was
vicarious atonement for the iniQuities
of the Democratic tariff law; that to
war orders is due cur present cham
payne prosperity. Ours is an agri-
cultural and manufacturing district,
and in my campaign | confined myself
almost wholly to the tariff and to
national rather than local issues. DAM
ocrats Joined with Republicans in re-
monstrances of free trade, the war
revenue measure, Democratic extrava-
gance and the incessant heckling of
business by the department of COM
merce. ! believe the vote rolled up
for representative in congress for the
Thirty-sixth district is good evidence
Of the trend of public opinion through
out the country. The Republicans
have stood behind the president in
his foreign policy. wherever policy
was even slightly discernible, believ-
ing politics should end at the waters
edge. That they are for national pre-
paredness is evident from the fact that
they initiated the proposed reforms in
defense and caused the administration
to about-face. l do not see how the
Democrats can make campaign issues
of either of those questions"
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1915-12-08
DUTY TO Country First.

Experts are agreed that when the
war is over European goods will pour
into this country at such rate that
American manufacturing establish
ments will be materially embarrassed.
Foreign labor will be willing to work
at even lower wages than ever before.
That the Democrats perceive the dan
ger is shown clearly by the prepare
lions that are being made by the adj
ministration to enact an antidumping
law to protect the American market
at the close of the war.
1t is admitted that there is danger
of a flood of cheap-labor products. The
sole question now concerns the choice
of a remedy. An antidumping clause
would not provide any additional rev.
enue. The restoration of a protective
tariff will. The party in power should
not hesitate to cast aside even it's best
loved theories in order to insure eco.
nomic stability to the nation.
