placed on the ballot by those who
pay the taxes. The bulk of the sigma
lures were obtained in the cities of
Seattle and Tacoma and We're those
of that disgruntled, misguided ele-
ment who live in an atmosphere
of suspicion and discomfort and are
opposed to existing conditions. They
signed the Bone bill petitions because
they were made to believe that in so
doing, they could swat the power
trust. They signed the petitions for
the Hebe Milk bill referendum be-
in so doing they could swat the dairy
trust. The men who own and operate
electrical plants and men who own
and milk cows look all the same to
them. This paper is not willing to
turn over to this element, the control
of either the power industry or the
milk industry of this state.

MORE CORRUPTION

TT is A little difficult to understand
I why it is that the fellows who cry
out the loudest against the ineffi-
cheney and corruption of government
are the very fellows who are shout
ing the loudest for the Bone Power
bill. They think, or pretend to think,
that government is controlled by dis
honest and designing politicians who
administer it for the benefit of the
few, yet with the Bone Power bill
they propose to hand over to these
designing and dishonest politicians
one of the states most vital and i'm
portant industries.

THE ONLY GENUINE

IOHN E. BALLAINE, LaFollette
y manager for the state of Wash
ington, has written to inform the
Courier-Reporter that there is only
one genuine LaFollette ticket in this
state. The Progressive ticket is the
only one recognized by the LaFollette
national organization. Other so-called
LaFolIette tickets he declares are the
work of designing and dishonest
politicians.
Mr.. Ballaine calls attention to the
fact that the only real LaFollette
ticket carries only the names of sew
en- presidential electors. 1t has no
nominee for state or congressional Of
fices.
If other evidence were lacking this
fact is sufficient to reveal the I'M
soundness of the LaFollette move
ment-a movement the purpose of
which is not to put into effect gov
ernmental reforms nor to carry out
a governmental program, but to graf
ify the personal ambitions of one
man. Senator LaFollette doesn't
want, nor is he asking the election of
a congress who will carry out his pc
culiar ideas of government.
Both republicans and democrats
have adopted platforms setting forth
the governmental program which
each party proposes to carry out.
Each party has selected men for pres

OLD HICKORY FIRE
INQUIRY IS ORDERED;
ORIGIN A MYSTERY

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug Ii
Origin of the fire which destroyed
buildings, machinery and 45 million
pounds of smokeless powder8at the
Old Hickory powder plant at Jack
sonville, Tenn, near here Sunday,
| had not been determined today, &C.
cording to Major Oscar Krupp, army
ordnance officer in charge of the
government property there.
A thorough investigation into the
cause of the fire will be conducted
under orders from the war depart
ment issued today, but in the alb
sence of receipt of formal orders
, from the department, Majors-krupp
could not state when the investiga-
ton would begin.
From the offices of a local in
surance agency, which carried pol
icies on the Old Hickory plant
amounting to $12,000,000, came the
statement that it would be several
days before the amount of loss could
be determined and separated as to
the amount of the governments risk
and that at the risk of the insur-
ance companies. While the govern.
ment was responsible for the build
ings used for the storage Of powder,
a number of those destroyed were
at the risk of the Nashville Indus
trial corporation and were fully in
sured
State Fire Marshal Ed M. Gillen-
waters today sent a corps Of deputies
to Old Hickory to investigate the
cause of the fire and compile re
p3lt ~, the loss.
Powder, machinery and buildings
valued at $2S,000,000 artime prices
and at more than 50 ,000,000 at pres
ent valuation, were destroyed when
the fire swept clean forty-acre
tract in the heart of the plant.
Several hundred thousand dollars
worth of platinum is believed to be
, in the ashes of the government Of
flee building. Officials said that
they expected to find the metal I'M
harmed.
Approximately 45,OOO,OOO pounds
OF gunpowder, stored by the Z. S.
! government as a war reserve, were
| consumed in the flames.
| The cost of manufacturing this
| powder during the war, according
to Major Krupp, ordnance depart
ment officer, was so cents a pound,
making the total cost So, $780, 900.
Inc present market value Oh the
! powder is Approximately one cenc
II pound. making the total value
t $45Q,0O0, Major krupp said.
There were. no dangerous explo'
sions and no one was known to
! have been injured
A government guard turned in
! the alarm at $50 Sunday morn
| ing and although the fire spent it
self soon after noon, it was impOs-
sible early Monday to approach the
area because of the intense heat.
The fire is said to be the great
est single loss the government has
suffered since the war. The plant,
constructed by the government dur
ing the war for the manufacture
of munitions, was the largest project
of its kind ever attempted. The
plans called for an expenditure of
| $S5 100000, and the plans was di,
vided into nine units each with a
daily capacity of 100,0 200 pounds OF
| powder.
When the armistice was signed
the plant had produced $1,000 900
ipounds of powder and was 15,500.-
, 600 pounds ahead of contracts.
