WIN destruction from fire at an early
hour this morning and 1t was only by
the vigilance OF those In charge, sup
piemented by the efficiency of the
Canon City fire department, that Sc
rtous property loss did not result.
The trouble had It's origin In the fur
mace room IN the basement at the
northeast corner OF the building. altho
its cause is difficult to ascertain be-
cause OF the smoke-stained walls and
ceiling and the charred and discoiored
woodwork OF the surroundings
A few minutes before O'Clock Mr.
Reed. the night clerk. and Police or
fcer Jerry Moran were seated In the
lobby Of the hotel talking when the
latter announced he smelled smoke
and the two men began an investiga-
ton to, find out where IL came from.
On opehing the door into the drawing
room u the rear OF the Office
great volume OF smoke rushed out,
leaving no uncertainty as TO the To-
caiity OF the trouble. Mr.. Moran hur-
riedly telephoned an alarm to the fire
department and Mr.. Reed ran down

TEN PER CENT TAX
ISBOTHERSOME TO
HOUSE MEMBERS

Shall the average man. the head OF
the ordinary family, the -man in the
street." have to separate himself from
10 per cent OF his income and give 1t
to the Government?
This is one of the hardest nuts the
House Ways and Means Committee
has TO crack. II has already given
the members of the committee some
troublesome hours, and they admit IL
will give them more before the bill
Is framed and passed
May BE Exceptions
The committee is seriously talking
about making the naGpal rate on in
dividual incomes 10|per cent, but
there is opposition to making this ap-
ply to the man Of small income, such
as $1,000 or $4,000, or less.
The committee and Congress will
have to consider the economic and
other effects OF putting q 10 per cent
tax on the man OF small mean6- This
would be hard enough at any time,
but 1t Is much complicated by the
high cost of living and the wide
spread complaint that II takes about
all the income OF the man who gets
small or moderate income to pay
rent, buy groceries, and pay the coal
and clothing bills.
Opposition Looms.
Inquiry among members Of the
Ways and Means Committee and in
Congressional circles today developed
the fact there will be a tight over
efforts to apply a 10 per cent normal
tax 1t will be argued that the man
who gets $4,000 or $4,000, or less,
should not have to pay more than 5
per cent, which would represent a
substantial advance over his present
taxes
II looked today as II one OF the
chief controversies in relation to the
revenue bill would center about this
proposition.
