Floor Leader Not Func- ti0ning With Admin
 istration Forces.

Washington.-Tho who have been watching the shifting scenes day by day in national affairs declare that an undercurrent is gaining strength to de- pose Representative Frank W. Mondell as republican leader of the lower house.
 Some caustic things are being said about Mondell by the Harding repub- licans Some have ssated that Monnell thinks more of his personal ambition to be the next Senator from Wyoming than he does of the success of his party.
 While Mondell's opposition to the Presidents program irritates the ad- ministration group, it is laid that the basic cause of resentment against the floor leader is that he is the symbol of the system, recently inaugurated, which places the appropriations for every department or project in the hands of the appropriations committee. Thus, the power of appropriating is taken from the naval affairs committee, the military affairs committee, and the river and harbors committed
 Administration spokesmen in the House are insisting that Mondell's leadership is detrimental to party har- mony and that his attitude is slowly but surely creating a serious split be- tween the President and that body.
 The Wyoming member, they charge, has opposed the position taken by the White House on almost every import ant piece of legislation that has come before Congress. These measures in- clude the taxation bill. the American valuation proposal, the army bill, the navy bill, and the soldier bonus. Mon- dell's refusal to cooperate with the ad- ministration, it is further asserted. has impaired the functioning of the lower body and brought forth the recent complaints of inefficiency.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME
Irwin Dinger Home in South Part of
City Burned to Ground Monday
Morning.

A disastrous fire occurred in De
corah Monday morning about three
o'clock, when the residence of Irwin
Dinger in the south part of the city
was burned to the ground. Mr..
Dinger's wife and children were
away from home on a visit to rela-
tives at Lansing, and Mr.. Dinger
was at home alone. He was awak-
ened about three O'Clock, and the
dense smoke nearly strangled him,
The residence was frame 2Sx18, one
story with five rooms. When MIR.
Dinger was aroused from his sleep
the whole front part of the house
was ablaze. He jumped up and pull
ed few coverings off the bed and
got out as quickly as possible. He
hadn't been out of the bed only
minute or two when it got on. fire.
The house was completely burned
down, and the only contents saved
was a sewing machine and chest
containing some articles. Mr.. Dinger
also lost his fine gold watch which
was laying on a dresser.
How the fire caught is unknown
to Mr.. Dinger. He didn't know whe

DON'T FORGET TO PAY YOUR
TAXES
March is Last Month in Which You
Can Pay Without Penalty.

Taxes of 1921 became due and
payable on Jan. 1st, 1922, and the
county treasurer's office has been
busy handling tax payments since
that date. March is the last month
In which payment can be made, Ell
Their in full or in part, without
penalty; the law requiring the trea-
surer to collect the tax in full, with
penalty of one per cent added, after
March 3lst. Don't forget to pay
as the state compells the county
treasurer to comply strictly with this
provision of the law, leaving him no
choice in the matter, and taxes are
high enough without paying penalty.
With taxes higher than last year,
tax payers are inclined to blame
most everybody (but themselves) for
the increase, including county officers
and boards of supervisors, while the
fact of the matter is that the in
crease is due nearly all, to local
taxes, in their own taxing district.
The general county and state levies
are two mills higher than last year,
one and one half mills of this being
increase in state tax. The board of
supervisors, therefore, blamed by so
many for high taxes, are responsible
for only one half mill increase in
the county taxes, and this additional
tax is not levied for roads etc. as
commonly complained of, but for the
very good purpose of paying off
bridge bonds of the 1909 issue.
$4,000 of such bonds were due and
were paid off by the county trea-
surer on Jan. 1st so this additional
half mill is saving tax payers money
by stopping payment of further in
terest on these bonds.
All other increases 1.-THE large in
crease) in taxes within the county
is due to increased school and town.
ship road taxes in the townships,
and increased school and city taxes
within the incorporated towns. In
DEBORAH city, although the total
levy is one-half mill less than last
year, the taxes are, nevertheless,
much higher, due to the fact that in
the 1921 assessment of real estate,
valuations were increased consider
ably-much more than off setting the
half mill decrease in city levies.
