terIy Helpless.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 1.-THE historic
Canadian parliament building was de-
stroyed by fire declared unofficially
to have been caused by the explosion
of a gas bomb or an internal machine.
Two women, Nine. Brayi of Mon
treal, and Nine. NORM of Beauce,
guests of the wife Of Speaker Sevigny,
were overcome by smoke and per-
ished.
Killed by Falling Roof.
Two policemen and two commons
Der below the speakers quarters when
the roof fell. They are declared to
have been killed.
Frederick F. Pardee, chief liberal
whip, and William Loggie, member
of parliament from New Brunswick,
are missing and it is expected they
were killed.
Preceded by Explosion.
It has been established that the
first burst of flames in the reading
room Of the House of Commons was
preceded by at least one explosion
and probably by two.
The force of the conclusion was so
severe that persons standing some
distance away were hurled to the
floor.
A rigid investigation to determine
the cause of the fire already has been
undertaken by the Dominion authori-
ties.
Montreal Sends Aid.
The flames spread with such amaz-
ing rapidity that the Ottawa fire brig
ade was utterly helpless to cope with
them. Aid was sent from Montreal
on a special train, but at o'clock in
the morning the fire still was raging.
The loss cannot be estimated in
money. The building was valued at
about $5,000,000. But the contents
are of inestimable value. There was
no insurance.
At midnight the Commons and Sen
ate chambers had been destroyed and
as the great clock doomed out the
hour, flames were sweeping up the
magnificent tower and licking their
way to it's top.
Soldiers Placed on Duty.
The parliamentary library at the
rear probably will be saved. Soldiers
we're assigned to carry out it's con-
tents.
Members of the parliament, spec
tators in the gallery of the lower
house, government employees and 9TH
ers who were in the building narrow
~ escaped death or injury. Within
a few minutes after the fire began,
corridors were filed with smoke and
at many points walls Of flames barred
progress.
There were many doors to the great
building, but since the outbreak of the
war all except the main portals have
been closed to safeguard the legis-
lators.
Responsible for Two Deaths.
This precaution made escape moro
difficult and probably was responsible
for the deaths of Nine. Brayi and
Nine. NORM In one of the rooms of
the speakers suite.
Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian
premier, who was in the building. es.
capped safely, but Maurice Burrell,
minister of agriculture, was burned
severely about the head, and DR..
Michael Clark, member for Red Deer,
was burned about the hands.

clared in an address before several
thousand persons in the Auditorium

speaking of the preparedness plans of
the administration.

of the United States an organization

Army is Too Small.
The army, the President said, as at
present constituted, 'is not large
enough even for the ordinary duties
of peace"
The President repeated his warn

II thank God there is no man in tha

DOUBLE TAXATION
FAULT OF SYSTEM
Undue Taxation of Evidences of
Indebtedness Makes Debt
or Pay Twice.

A conspicuous injustice which the
constitutional amendment. to be voted
on November Z, will make it possible
to remedy, is double taxation.
The taxation of mortgagCd property
and of mortgages as well as some
other forms of intangible value occa-
sions frequent complaint If double
taxation" Most farms and most homes
In Illinois today are bought on the
part-payment plan. little cash and
note secured by mortgage being given
by the purchaser.
A mortgage on land is taxable. And
in effect IS double taxation. Two tax
values have been created where only
one before existed. In paying the In
tereSt the mortgagOr must pay all or
part of the tax which the mOrtgagee
is obligated to pay. The fact that the
mortgage evades taxation generally
does not benefit the mOrtcagor. Mort
gagged land Is land burdcned with
double taxation.
Suppose that man sells horse for
say 500 and takes n note fo- il. the
note becomes taxable. Suppose. fur
thur. that the buyer sells the horse to
another man for another note. this Sec
ord note becomes taxable. This same
horse may be sold indefinitely on credit
creating a taxable value each time
that II Is sold.
Many other examples might be cited
The merchant who buys a stock Of
goods on credit may have In bank on
assessment day the money to pay his
debt. In that case. the money. the
goods and the credit are all three sub
ject TO taxation and the merchant can.
not, now. Offset his debt against his
money in bank nor the goods on his
shelves.
Modern laws regard mortgages and
kindred values a. differing In char
acter from other property and tar
them according to ability to bear the
tnx. Greater Justice and a better basis

TAXES GROW HEAVIER
Demands For New Public Service
Require More Funds.
Revenues From Now Untaxed Values
Necessary to Secure Relief for
Burdened Taxpayers.

In considering the pending amend
ment to the constitution it is pointed
out that larger public revenues are
more and more required. For the most
part this is due to improvement Of
public service demanded by the peo-
pie and to extensions of public serv-
ice There was a time when we had
no health service-and no tax for that
purpose. In the same way there was
4 time when the insane poor were left
on the hands of their relatives at
large, a menace to the public. If they
were paupers they were confined in
the county pOorhouse. Now they are
housed in state institutions. Mothers
pensions are being utilized to preserve
homes for dependent children instead
of sending them into public institu-
lions at public expense. Contagious
diseases are segregated. tuberculosis
is being stamped out. Educational in
situations have been improved and ex-
tended and compulsory education is
being enforced. Factory and tenement
house inspection IS being made more
and more efficient In cities, parks.
bathing beaches and Fairgrounds are
country good roads are being extended
in every direction. Primary elections
and better election and ballot laws
safeguard the efforts of the people to
express their wishes and rule. The
effect of all these and other items of
government service has been to in
crease the revenue requirements of all
governments-everyw Illinois is
not an exception. 1t is not ahead OF
the procession.
The conclusion from these facts is
that larger revenues, instead of less.
have got to be provided for the future
This means greatly increased taxation
on real property, unless there is an ex-
tension of taxes to other values that
now are practically untaxed.
Under the existing Illinois revenue
system all kinds of property-not ex-
empt-are taxable at the same rate.
This means that the mortgage Is tax
able at the same rate as the farm.
But, as a matter of fact most nearly
all mortgages escape taxation entirely.
And it is the same way with bonds.
stocks, credits, money in bank and all
kinds of wealth other than tangible.
visible things. That this failure to tax
exists is due to intangibles-theyc can
not be discovered by the assessor. And
likewise to tax many of them on full
value at full tax rates would be to
conf1scate a large proportion of their
incomes. However, 1t is recognized.
even by the owners Of them that they
should be taxed in proportion to their
ability to bear taxation.
And all of this points directly to-
ward the constitutional amendment to
be voted for November 4. which will
make it possible to derive public reve-
nues from intangible value taxes And.
the voter who wishes to recorder our
chaotic tax system and provide ade-
quate incomes for our growing public
needs should work for and vote for the
To adopt it requires a
majority Of all the voters voting at the
election.
