FIRE TRUCK SAVED CARPENTER

OF the city in making the purchase
OF fire truck with a pumping ap-
paratus mounted upon IT, Some OF
the critics at the time the purchase
was made claimed that We were pay
ing too much money and that we
could get a truck without pump
that would do our work.
The truck has couple OF times
saved its cost in property in this
city. and last Friday night saved
many times its worth when the big
forest fire that hissed and rolled out
in the swamp to the southeast of the
Carpenter mine threatened to burn
up everything in wood construction
and injure all the steel obstruction
at the mine.
Fire Was Threatening One.
The day was one calculated TO fan
the flames that were burning slow
~ all about us. A strong south
wind blew the dying embers Of the
previous day into a flame that rolled
through the timber like a hot knife
through print OF butter. Slowly
but surely Il swept on towards the
Carpenter mine which is surrounded
on three sides by a dense swamp.
At s O'Clock p. IN. the heavens were
lighted up with a red glare that
shown from the several hills sur
rounding the town like one Of the
spectral creations OF the Inferno. II

sight 10 stand and watch the red
glow in the sky and note the flames
rolling on through the valley in the
west end Of which is located the Car
penter mine.
Truck Called Early.
The officials at the Carpenter early
in the day came TO the conclusion
that they were in for trouble and
men were sent TO do what human ef-
fort could 20 stem the advance of the
flames Instead OF dying down to-
wards evening the wind kept increas-
ing in velocity and about o'clock a
call was sent I'm for assistance and
the truck was ordered sent to the
mine and attachment made to the
water main that extends from the
city TO the Carpenter property. The
truck was called 10 the Mononghela
by a chimney fire and then returned
to the city on advice from Alpha that
assistance would probably be needed

AN ESSAY ON PANTS

pants come thicker in the summer.

pants. lDate 1875, any almanac. J
White pants are not a garment.
They are a business to themselves.
The man who wears them doesn't
work at mach else at time.
When | vas small and on farm, I
wore pants that were not new. So

had been new. When they had been

the original goods wore ont between

the patches the goods became about

GRADUATED INCOME TAX

A graaUsted income tax is what
the people want, one that win take
in every one with an income worthy
of the name The income tax ap-
piled to those with inordinateiy large
incomes is not the ideal and is ealcu-
lated 10 create classes as Judge Gary
says, but The graduated tax would
not haye hat tendency. The Chica-
go Tribune has the right idea in the
following
"Judge Gary is against the income
tax because he thinks ii viii create
classes q America. If the thousand
dollar nsan pays the same tax rate
as Judg Gary he will belong to the
same class as Judge Gary and go
there tn dinner But if he pays a
lower rate ne won't.
"Judge Gary is also against the
income tax because it wiz cripple,
if not Wholly daaden, initiative. The
ten thpnsand dollar man will no
longer attempt TO double his income
becansE he government would take
part OF increase away.
'sWe#d0 not think so. -
Make tae class low enough, make
the incomes the tax would hit low
enough, and there will be incentive
to be contributor, provided. of
course there is graduation. No one
is goiHg o refuse to accept larger
income iq avoid paying proportion
ately larger tax.
