Armament Reduction
Taken Up by Senate
Foreign Relations Body

Washington, Jan 3-The general sub
ject of a reduction in world naval con
struction was taken up Monday by the
senate foreign relations committee at
executive hearings which will be con-
tinued Wednesday and which may run
for some weeks.
The committee had before it the Borah
resolution asking President Wilson to
initiate negotiations with Great Britain
and Japan looking to a reduction of 80
per cent in the naval building programs
of those countries and the United States.
1t was understood that considerable
sentiment developed IN the committee to
include France and Italy in the nego-
tis tons but this was opposed by Sena-
tor Borah, who was said to have argued
that those countries would follow the
lead of the United States Great Britain
and Japan and that if they became a
party to the negotiations reduction
Of armies as well as nayies would enter
into the discussion.

CAPITOL BURNS
Laborer Killed, Several
Firemen Injured as
Roof Caves In.

Charleston, W. Va, Jan. 3.-The capi
tol building of West Virginia was de-
stroyed by fire Monday. One laborer
was killed, fireman injured seriously,
and several other fire fighters hurt when
a section of the roof, under which they
were standing caved in. The spectacu-
lar nature of the fire was enhanced
when much ammunition, stored on the
third floor of the building, exploded.
Within four hours after the fire was
discovered, the building. containing the
governors office, state department and
priceless records, was a mass of smok-
ing ruins.
State officials made no attempt to
estimate the loss but they said that the
records destroyed. upon which no in
surance was carried, could not be re-
placed and that it was impossible TO
estimate their value
The capitol building, erected in 1881
at cost of more than 100000 is be-
lieved to have been the only brick capi-
tol in the United States. State officials
today said that the building was valued
at approximately St.250,0Oo.

The independents at a meeting Sunday

'Reorganize and put on a solid and

laws the industries have been run by
employees having no interest in them. 1t
is the same as the ridiculous Plumb plan
of running railroads. The federal re

and you may easily give similar foun

Power too Centralized.
"The governor, attorney general and
commissioner of agriculture constitute
the industrial commission. They are Civ

absolute control over the Bank of North

power to blast and ruin the state indus

three elected officials shall be competent
to control industries. Who would think
of James J. Hill or any captain Of indus

Taxes Since 1918 Treble.
"Since 1918 the taxes have been
marked up more than three fold This
is the main cause of the trouble The
tax system has become q vampire with
tenacles spreading out in every dircc-
ton.
THE workmen's compensation or in
surance tax is five times the sum neces-
sary. BY all means you should classify
the risks and fix the rates and not leave
it to bureau. Appropriations you have
the power to cut and limit to the lowest
notch Why should one class of people
be taxed into want and poverty that an
other class may live luxuriousy and
construct a mass of non-productive build
ings?"
