At the special election in July an
effort will be made to repeal this
whole business. Instead, a "Mill and
Elevator Association Law" confining
all this kind of business to that which
it was supposed to be when Townley
started his mammoth dive into high
finance.
The people will be asked to safe
guard the venture as much as possi-
BILE by having seven directors, instead
Of what is really the governor alone.
A limit Of $4,000 will be set ON
the experiment, in the proposed law.
During the past three years, many
people have said they wanted to ''try
out" this new political deal. The ses-
sion that recently came to q close
has shown you in black on white
what they will do. Do you still be-
lisve in ''letting them go the limit"
or has the time arrived to use
small amount of individual thought
and discretion in passing upon the
revolution manufactured for MS by
those who will not have to pay the
tax?
July 9th will be the last chance. By
the time another election rolls
around. the bills will have been coa-
traeted. You may stop it then II you
like. But, for many years to come,
You will be forced TO toll to pay those
bills.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Scores of fam lilies were made homeless early today by half a dozen fires which broke out in a six block area west of the stock yards and inhabited chiefly by for eigners. Squads of police sent to the fires pronounced by firemen as of in cendiary origin, found it impossible TO control the crowds and several COn- panies of militia were ordered 10 the scene in which frame structures pre- dominate.
 The presence of the militia led to many rumOrs of renewal of the re- cent race disturbances and of incen- diarism growing out of that trouble. Police officials however said that these were probably baseless.
 One woman reported the loss of her three children but it was thought they had escaped from the house and been lost in the crowds that

CARRANZA'S TALK
 ONLY IDLE WORDS
Association For Protection of Ameri- can Rights in Mexico Challenge
 His Statements.

Washington, Aug. 2.--The national -erican rights in Mexico issued state ment and sent copy of it to the state department, protesting against statements made by Pres. Carranzl, of Mexico in an interview to the As sociated Press. The protest follows:
 ''The statement is the old proresta- tion of the Carranza government that contiscation is not intended but the constitution, decreases and proposed laws of Mexico against which the for eign offices of the United States. Great Britain. France and Holland have protested are contiscatory. It is merely a denial that tricky legislation depriving legal owners of oil lands honestly acquired and made valuable, constitutes confiscation The attitude of the American government in this matter is sufficient refutation of the stat ements attributed to President Carranza.
 As to his statement that "the pe- troleum companies have set out to en- gender ill feeling-they are dolnS this through the medium of some sec tions of the American press which are distorting facts to suit their own ends, the association hereby asks Manuel Carpio. the official propagandlst ot the Carranza government in the Unit ed States who is thoroughly aware or all statements made, to point out any mis-statement in connection With the oily controversy published in the American press which has fallen un- der Carranza's charge of unreliabili- tE.'
