The N. D. +. can obtain no more reduction
for its appliances in Seattle than it is obtaining
in other Cities which in no case is greater than
that allowed for the instantaneous Alarm serv-
ice in the city of Seattle.
NO LOWER RATES
These professional franchise grabbers for
the N. D. I. who are now in Seattle from San
Francisco and Chicago know they can furnish
no lower rates than the instantaneous Alarm
Company.
No citizen need be deceived into thinking
that property owners are going to obtain lower
rates for alarm service through the NJ D. T. be-
cause in cities where that company has driven
out competition it is charging very much high
er rate than the present rate charged by the In

The president of the Seattle Fire Insurance
Exchange has openly said that they would kill

: ND. 7. profession franchise grabbers have
said in their advertisements that their system
would mean lower insurance rates, but in no
city in the United States are they obtaining any
larger reductions in insurance rates for their
appliance than the instantaneous is obtaining
in Seattle.
The people generally recognize that our
mutual companies are the ones truly interested
in the reduction of fire waste. Our companies
do not profit by high rates as all excess is re-
turned to the policyholders by way of cash divi-
dends. The State Insurance Commissioner and
Fire Marshal Fishback, and also Henry Suzzal-
10, President of the State University and head
of the State Council of Defense, will testify that
this office has been doing more to prevent fire
waste in the State of Washington than all other
insurance offices combined.

The fight for Proposition "A" is fight of
the stock fire insurance company interests,
with headquarters in San Francisco, against
the Northwestern Mutual Fire Association and
the allied companies in its office.
These mutual companies have been strong
factor in compelling lower insurance rates than
existed when the mutual companies entered
Seattle. In many cases rates are only half what
they were when these mutuals entered the field.
The lowering of insurance rates lowers the
income of all fire insurance agents proportion
ately. Not only are the agents affected by the
lowering of insurance rates due to the mutuals,
but
THE STOCK COMPANY AGENTS DO

HUNTING FOR "PANTS"
Knoxville Police Seeking an Unknown
Burglar.

Knoxville. June l6.-(Speclal)-
are hunting for Pants, an unknswn
burglar who has been given that nick
name. who has broken in numerous
houses in the suburban. sections of
Knoxville. Detectives state that he in
vades homes twice a week. His meth
DDS are peculiar and the identity of the
man has baffled the police. Had 1t not
been for a woman, the career of
Pants" would have come to an end last
week when he attempted to raise the
window to bedroom. The woman's
husband heard the burglar at the win
dow, got his revolver and would have
fired had not his wife pleaded with her
husband to spare the burglars life.
The methods pursued in each case
are declared identical by the police.
The burglar forces an entrance into a
house, usually by cutting through a
screen door and unlocking a latch; en-
tiers a room where a man Is sleeping;
takes only the trousers Of the sleeper
from the house into the yard; there RI
nes them Of what money Is contained
in the pockets; folds them UP neatly,
and leaves them where they can easily
be found.
Because Of the fact that the burglar
takes only money, for he has left sew
eral watches in the pockets Of trousers,
which could easily have been taken,
officers say they have little hope OF
catching him while he is at work. His
robberies are daring, for in every In
stance that has been reported to the
police the man has taken the property
from room in which at least one per-
son was sleeping.

SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

We trust there Is good foundation
for the report published in a news
paper friendly to Senator Shields
that the department Of Justice Is
making an investigation into the
charges against Former Revenue
Agent J. Parks Worley, of Bluff
City. who. tt is understood, has been
recommended by the senator for the
position Of United States marshal for
the eastern district OF Tennessee. It
is true that Mr. Worley has been
elected twice to the once Of state
senator from the counties OF Sullivan
and Hawkins since these charges
were made, which would seem to in
dicate that his own people either
did not believe the charges or were
Indifferent to them. Nevertheless, 1t
will be remembered that the So
called williams report made In the
senate was of so discriminating q ma
ture that Worley's friends secured
It's exclusion from the journal. II
any explanation has ever been Of
fered Of the practice of the revenue
agent and his assistants in making
private settlements with corpora
tons and individuals who were
backassessed by them we have never
seen 1t. In several notable incidents
the whole amount Of back taxes COL
lected from the taxpayer went into
the hands of the attorney. and there
was absolutely no record of the
transaction in the comptroller's Of
fee at Nashville. II Is true there is
a comfy between senators over
Of this kind--no doubt this
restraints him--but we are of the
opinion that Senator Mcclellan would
like to have these matters cleared
up. The people OF the state of Ten
nessee also would like information
on the subject. The News has no
in the matter. We would
like for Senator Worley to establish
the entire regularity of all the tra,ns-
actions. But we hardly think he
ought to be confirmed as marshal
until this is done. our people have
an abiding memory of the back as
machine. Some manufac-
son to keep it in mind. Finally the
legislature did away with back as
so as to stop these prac-
tees. If a record such as that which
was disclosed by the Williams re-
port is the kind for an fiice-holder

1t the hand of a United States SEN
itor, some Of the political ideas
which have been indicated in the
minds Of our youth in the past will
nave to be unlearned. But we trust

The PRICE oE BREAD.

We are still without dependable
Information as to what influence, II
any. the biggest wheat crop In his
tory will have on the price of bread.
BY all rules of the game, there should
be perceptible lowering, but that
is by no means certain to be the
result in the present instance. Prices
may go higher. Coming events are
said to cast their shadows before.
but there is apparent no shading
downward in the cost OF bread. The
government has guaranteed a stip-
ulated price to the growers of wheat,
but beyond this has decided upon
nothing further in the program.
Whether the guaranteed price will
be fixed for the consumer to pay, or
whether the government will simply
make up to the farmer whatever diff
ference there may be between the
guarantee and normal market price
has yet TO be determined.
The latter course would probably
be- more popular, but conceived
purely as a business institution. the
government would be inclined to IA
vor the first alternative. 1t would
perhaps save the treasury consid-
cradle outlay, though it might in
volve some complications. For in
stance, inasmuch as there will be
considerable surplus Of the crop car
ried over, it would probably neces-
state the maintenance of a fixed
price far into next year. Allowing
the normal market price to govern
would have the effect in the final
analysis of placing the loss on those
best able to bear it. In theory, at
any rate, 1t would tend to decrease
the price of the poor mans bread,
while IL might increase slightly the
rich mans tax bill This. in brief,
sums UP the economic aspects OF the
case.
A resolution has been introduced
in congress which provides for the
sale of wheat at whatever it will
bring in the market, with the ban
on importations removed, the gov
eminent to compensate the grower
for the difference. This would be
hearty certain to lower prices some
what, since prices are now slightly
lower abroad than in this country.
II would also have the effect of meas
urably restoring the operation of
the law of supply and demand, which
is altogether desirable. 1t is unani-
agreed that the government
should keep its pledged to the f. ner
even to the letter, but there is some
divergence Of opinion over the meth
DDS and practical features Of the
There has occurred no authentic
incident which might serve as a
pointer to the attitude of the author
tiles at Washington respecting wheat
prices. Nothing more than the in
PRODUCTION of the resolution mem
toned above. 1t is uncertain which
horn of the dilemma the govern
ment will prefer. 1t is a matter, |
however. which cannot wait much
longer for decision. Harvest is upon |
US and the great crop will soon be
finding its way to market. Shall the
loss, If any, be paid by those who
eat bread or added to the treasury |
deficit?
