MANY WITNESS HUMAN FLY
Jack Williams. the ''Human Fly"
Scales Court House and Climbs Flag
d STAFF on Tuesday Evening

Several hundred people gathered at
the court house square last evening to
witness Jack Williams, otherwise
known as the human fly" from the
fact that he climbs up the sides OF
buildings much like the well known
suction footed fly scale the court
house. 1t was one of tho most daring
exhibitions, ever witnessed in Denison
and as real thriller was hard to beat.
Before starting on the perilous climb
Williams and his assistant took up n
collection. He climbed to the roof OF
the court house at the southeast cor
ner of the building and using nothing
but his hands and feet wormed his
way from window ledge to window
ledge and over the edge Of the wide
coping. Not content with reaching the
roof he then scaled the big dome, but
was forced to use short piece Of rope
climbed the flag staff ana from the
dizzy height performed some antics for
the amusement of the crowd.
Williams is the original human fly
and the same man who on May H. 1911
climbed from the bottom to the top of
the Woolworth building in New York
City, which Is IS stories and over 700
feet high. IT. took the daring young
man just two hours and forty-five sec
onds to cover the entire distance, U.S.
ing only his hands and feet to make the
climb. A short time ago Williams
climbed the Register Tribune building
in Des MOines.
We understand that this evening he
will climb the big steel flag pole in the
court house yard.

T[HlRESnERNEN and
FARMERS MEET
Meeting Mt Court House in Denison
Monday Evening Attended by Sew
enty Threshermcn and Farmers
AZ CENTS FOR OATS THREsHING
Those Present a. the Meeting Realized
the High Cost Of Operating Machine
and Were Wiling to Pay More

The threshermen Of Crawford coun
|ty. together with a large number OF
prominent farmers of the county, held
meeting at the court house in Deni
son on Monday evening and discussed
the question Of prices. There were sew.
enty In attendance at the meeting and
many took a prominent part in the dis.
cussion. The meeting was under the
auspices of County Agent Quist, and
Amos Petersen presided as chairman
and Geo. Foderberg acted as temporary
secretary, the regular secretary, James
Fleming, being absent.
The minutes of the last meeting were
Tread and approved, old business dis
pensed with and the new business tax
en- up. The meeting was for the pur-
pose of discussing prices for threshing
and the question brought out a heated
debate. Threshermen pointed out that
everything a thresherman must use
has gone up in price-repairs more than
and labor very high. A new steam
tthresher of 80 inch size costs in the
ineighborhood of $500. and to this
must be added interest at the rate of
6 per cent; depreciation at 10 per cent,
insurance, liability insurance, cost Of
housing, cost of operating, and taken
all together it was shown that to run
a first class threshing outfit costs
money.
Most of the farmers in attendance at
the meeting favored higher rate for
threshing this year than last; they ap-
preciated the fact that crops were bet
ter and prices We're higher. and were
willing to be fair with the threshermen.
There were a number of company
threshermen present. many of whom
were actual farmers. and all realized
the expense attached to running ma
chine. In arriving at q fair price Coun-
ty Agent Quist stated that there were
three points to be considered-ef Efficiency
of machine. saving of labor and how
the machine tested out. In the test
proposition it was brought out that the
canvas test was the most efficient.
number Of ballots We're taken by
those present in order to determine, a
fair price. and the farmers We're per-
mitted to vote first, and there We're IL
voted for a price of four cents for
threshing oats. and is voted for a price
of four and half cents. The thresher-,
men cast Is votes in favor of five cents
per bushel for oats. The final outcome
was that a price was arrived at as fol-
lows: 100
Oats. per bushel. Az cents.
Barley. per bushel, 5h cents.

time to time, depending upon the ma.

such wrongs do not need drastic
remedies!
You are the organizer of the Farm
ers' union in this state. You are
commissioner Of agriculture. l hope
you will call meeting Of farmers,
not lawyers and bankers, to consider
these questions: Cotton is bringing
around IS cents here and it cost 80
cents. It is vain to expect things to
get better. This is part of a care
fully laid plan and they will turn the
screws as tight as they dare, Short
of bringing on a revolution: When
people get too desperate they ease
up a little, but it is going on to the
end unless we take a radical action.
This cold blooded policy Of Wall
street and the insolent manner in
which Houston put it into effect, is
an English importation, and one can
understand the, misery Of Ireland.
The United States will not be made
an outlying province Of Great Brit
ain. Nor will we allow the subtle
power of money to oppress and put
our farmers on the level Of European
peasants. The safe foundation of
government is a prosperous people,
and he who strikes a blow at their

them; and are thus particularly Ike
ly to be political appointees, mot
qualified for their position.
The reports of the tax commission
show that some of the defects which
may be expected to develop from
general principles, have actually de-
veloped in practice, and that in re-
cent years the board of review has
repeatedly lowered the assessments
on corporations: as made by the tax
commission. The evidence available
indicates that in most instances OF
the reversal by the board OF review
Of tax commission decisions the ae-
:.tion, of the board of review was not
in accordance with the basis princi-
ples of taxation or with the interests
Of the state, and the decisions of the
tax commission should have been
confirmed.
Activities of the assessing officers:
The. efficient administration ct any
tax system is dependent upon the
existence of a staff of closely super
vised, capable, loyal officials. In no
states has such staff been even APP
proximately developed, where the OF
,ficials were not subject to a: central
tax body, and were not generally
appointed on the basis of, capacity to
pcrforn1Atheir duties effectively. That
the local assessment of property IS
not being equally and efficiently per-
formed in South Carolina is evident
from all the sources of information
with regard to tax conditions IN the
state, and no doubt is we'll known liz
the state to all who come into contact
with tax matters. A principal dltii-
cultv in the way of efficient and
faithful performance OF " duties by
locally appointed officials, not COM
pletely subject to the authe5Sy OF .
central body, is that there invariably
exists competition between shss local
political divisions, which tas the
form of an endeavor to contribute as
small share as possible to the state
treasury. In the conflict between
LOYALTY to the supposed interests OF
the local district, local officials are
bound to lean toward the primary
consideration of the body of citizens
whom they represent and amongst
whom they reside.
Some Defects.
The failure of the legislature to
confer upon the tax commission adeI
uuate supervision and penallzlng au"
thority over local assessing officials
is serious obstacle in the way OF
the efficient administration Of the
property tax.
The scanty remuneration Of tho
assessing officials and the limited
number of days in each year for
which they may be paid under the
! law must add to the difficulty of Sc
curing efficient officials with the
nublic interest as their only concern
