The desire for reckless speed is still
in the minds of many drivers. Speed
to get somewhere at a wild pace, al
though when you get there you have
nothing better to do than turn around
and return Needless, needless hurry.
Cutting all corners, taking all the
chances that might be taken. beating
every light and signal, and driving like
demon through crowded streets
Trying to pass everybody, talking,
laughing, eating, drinking and in the
next minute crash.
Death!
What is the sense of it? Who is to
blame? Such an occurrence or des-
cription of speed is common report in
daily. The American public
shrugs its shoulders and reads on.
Not until we arouse safety con-
sciousness in the minds of the entire
public will such recklessness stop.

men and women of the farmer-labor
party who are really devoted to the
principles for which it was originally
formed will pay him tribute at the
primaries in June when they find the
name of Magnus Johnson on the ballot
as a candidate for the farmer-labor
nomination for governor of Minnesota.
Perhaps they will, perhaps not.
It's not that which matters so much,
but is seamy, shabby and sordid that
a party, sitting in the seat of power,
can do nothing better for one of its
members, whom the people of Minnesota
have honored by making him United
States senator, than to give him a job
as weighmaster at the South st. Paul
stockyards.

 Washington, Jan. 2--(UP)-The imitation issue was virtually knocked out of the soldiers bonus fight for the coming session today when the house Patman imitation bonus bill steering committee agreed unani- mously to fight only for full cash payment regardless of method.
 Prior to announcement of the agreement, Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson predicted con- gress would pass 3 bonus measure acceptable to the president. The three major. veterans organizations had agreed to unite on @ measure providing immediate cash payment.
 Full Cash Payment
 The steering committee voted unanimously to fight for full cash payment but sidestepped the ques- ton of currency expansion as pro- posed in the original measure and indicated that if 8 majority of the house seeks to amend the bill to provide for other payment methods 1t would accept the decision of the chamber.
 The committee decided, on this basis of compromise, to go ahead with plans for vote on the Patman bill on Jan. 13 in the house when 1t automatically comes up for a forced vote by the petition route.
 Meanwhile, however, the commit- tee decided to call @ caucus for 10 a. m. Sonaorrow of all 2l8 signers of the Patman bill petition to decide the issue of method of payment.

GRAND LISTOF
 HARTFORD LESS
Waterbury List Was in- creased Some Hartford
 Razed Many Buildings

While Waterbury's grand list irl- creased during 1s35, Hartford's de- creased to such an extent to cause considerable surprise to the officials of the capital city. The local grand list increased only Q few thousand dollars but Hartford's dropped $1,- 92z, ,96i during the year. Demolition of unusued buildings, in order to escape taxes twas blamed principally for Hert3ord's loss.
 Our City Also Hit
 Waterbury was also hit during the year by a program of building raging. More than Q half million dollars was taken off the local list of taxable property during 1895 as houses and empty factory buildings were torn town. The American Brass company sl still carrying on a raging program which will affect the 1036 grand list.
 Despite ths slight increase in the local grand list the tax rate was decreased. Of course, the board of relief will sit this month to hear appeals from assessments levied by the board of assessors. If they do much slashing they will possibly re- duce the grand list to It's level of a year ago because of the slight increase noted for 1885.
 Other Years Decreased
 Tine 1Q3a and 1Q2A grand lists showed an increase, much to the satisfaction of the finance board. Building activities jumped greatly during 19sS. according to official fig- ures now being prepared by Build ing Inspector Patrick Carlin and helped the local grand list to swell. On the other hand the grand lists .' Hartford have decreased steadily since 1881.

 I've would like to know whether, in face of the Ethiopian's war methods, it is really expected that Italy should order it's soldiers to put cork on the points of its bay- onets and It's aviators to full their bombs with cologne water"
