loses the power to change food into

Ruins Of Old Copeland Ice House
Near Fifth and Bank Streets,
Take Fire Last
Night.
THE FOURTH SUCH FIRE
Dry Weather Causes Many Bazss In
Old Rubbish Piles and In
Weeds on Vacant
Lots.

The fire department was called on
a still alarm to Fifth and Bank
streets at $3.50 last night, to extin.
guish a smoldering fire in the piles OF
sawdust. remaining from the old Cope
land ice house. The fire was speed
lily extinguished, after over block
of hose had been laid from the
hydrant at Fifth and Exchange
streets
The fire Is thought to have been
caused by sparks from a nearby
chimney. The sawdust was very dry
from the long continued period of hot
weather, and the flames had burned
far into the heart of the big pile OF
sawdust. Much smoke came from the
burning sawdust, raising pail over
the entire neighborhood
but once the line of hose had been
laid through back yards and over
fences. the water speedily extinguish-
ed the blaze.
The department made quick re-
Spouse. No damage was caused by
the blaze, but it was feared that 1t
might spread to nearby buildings,
which are all Of wood and once
on fire, would burn like finder.
Such fires as this are expected to
be frequent occurrence as long as
the dry spell lasts. This is the
fourth fire of the kind in the last
week. The others have been in
weeds In vacant lots on Franklin
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth;
and near Tenth and Leighton; in the
sawdust dump below the Taber mill.

ladies of the Nauyoo Civic league are
indeed fortunate in securing such an
able platform manager. Remember,
the Nauvoo chautauqua is on for all
this week, including Sunday. Nau-

attending at night. This is Nauvoo's
second chautauqua and II the crowd
does not get any smaller than at tho

are proving a great convenience as
well as comfort to those attending.

GOOD POLITICS

Candidate Hughes has attacked the
one weak spot in the Wilson administration
the forcing Of the eight-hour labor law
Many conservative members of the demo-
cratic party are not in accord with the
president on this subject but at the same
time these same members are not willing
to oppose Mr.. Wilson on account Of this
single mistake.
"A calm review of the measure and its
effect on the political situation may not be
50 reasSurlng to the republicans as NAV ap-
pear at first blush. Mr.. Wilson NAV have
displayed the same political segacity in this
matter as has generally characterized his
otner measures. The forcing of the eight
hour law has been construed as favorable
TO labor organizations. The sympathizers
with union labor are more numerous in the
doubtful states where Mr.. Wilson needs all
the support Re can get
The principal opposition to the admins
tratlon policy comes from southern states.
where Mr.. Wilson has votes to spare. So
after all it looks like Mr.. Wilson has plaved
good politics in connection with the labor
controversy.
How ever much his policy may be dis
tasteful to southern democrats it IS not
Of sufficient Importance to change MANY
voters, and if some votes are changed they

Inc move only emphasizes the fact that
Mr.. Wilson is an astute politician as well as
statesman. Nor will Candidate Hughes
trade against his policy gain republican

STATE AFFAIRS BOARD

1Hc NeW OIledHS times ficayune l.
authority for the statement that opposition
was disclosed, at a conference there, to the
State Affairs Board Amendment which will
be submitted to the people at the ensuing
election.
The PicayuHe says concerning the att
tude of the voters:
at is always safe to predict opposi-
ton to any legislation which is aimed
to equalize and, therefore, to raise as
sessments which necessarily result in
the raising Of taxation on many prop
erty owners. lC is true that the object
ION comes from those who have been
paying less than their share of the taxes
and unloading some Of the burden on
others. The tax dOdger can be counted
on to fight forever against paying his
full share; and he is sufficiently numer-
Gus to defeat nearly every reform aimed
al equalizing assessments"
We do not think that the opposition t.
the measure will be confined to New Orleans
for we believe that the average voter vii
see in the amendment more "tax-raising'
than ''taX-equalization."
And it will take very forcible argument
to convince the voters that the affairs board
will devote its attention to the tax dodgers
and that this board will be free from the
influences which are today responsible fol
the inequality in tax burdens.
1t is patent that board of three
members will be just as liable to succumb to
the pull and influence of men of big affairs
as would be the present assessment officers.
The man who bears the tax burden
wants to be in position to meet the as
SCISSOR face to face
Theoretically the present system is
perfect, but from the effects of pull and in.
tiuence it is bad. The proposed system is
theoretically bad and viii be worse when il
comes to withstanding the same influences
that have spoiled the present system.
The new system smacks of autocracy
and induces visions of oppression.
The existing Board Of Equalizers does
not equalize because it does not want tc
equalize. The new board will not eoualize
for the same reason. On the sale question
of equalization the law confers Identical
powers.
For these reasons the people will be
slow to confer such radical powers on q
board which at best will be no better than
an existing board and which will possess the
power of greatly increasing the burdens of
taxation.
Honest assessors, acting in conjunction
with an honest board Of equalization, can
make fair and equal assessments. The
State Board of Affairs, if honest, can do no
more.
Analysis of the remedy should be made
by the voter before he takes an overdose of
the specific.
This accomplished, he can bear with
fortiuude the results, whatever they NAV be.

it would increase the value Of his land 0
