HAILEY ISSUE
PRECIPITATED
IN THE HOUSE
Resolution Inviting Him to Ad
dress Body Brings Forth
Caustic Comment.
NO ROLL CALL ON VOTE.
Finally Decided to Inyite Him
as Well as Unsuccessful
Candidates foT Gov.
Special Diapatch.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 5. —The Bailey
question almost precipitated a riot of
words in the house this morning when
Canales introduced a resolution invit
ing the senator to address house
Friday night, August 12, at 8:30, and
Hamilton offered an amendment in
cluding Cone Johnson in the fame in
vitation. A motion to table the amend
ment then prevailed. 62 to 47.
Debate on the original resolution
brought forth some caustic comment
and a strong sentiment against giving
Bailey the opportunity to "roast'”
of the legislature developed.
Terrell of Cherokee argued against
the resolution and stated that tie was
not in favor of injecting the Bailey ‘s
sue into the present session, but was
for peace.
Bell of Cherokee was more emphatic
and said it was almost an insult to ask
Bailey to appear before the legislature.
“He has used language in speaking of
members of this house,” said Bell,
"which if one member used to another
would cause a fight.”
Will Be Till He Dies.
Hill of Denton spoke in favor of the
resolution and said: "He is our
United States senator, and, boys, you
might as well reconcile yourselves, he
will be until he dies. It is only proper
we invite him.”
On the vote, which was not by roll
call, it was decided to invite Bailey and
also to ask Cone Johnson to speak Au
gust 15; R. V. Davidson. August 16; J.
Martin Jones, August 17. and Poindex
ter on a date convenient to him.
Bailey’s topic will be "Modern De
mocracy. ’ ’
TIFT COMMUTES
OFFICER'S SENTENCE
Captain Hand of Field Artillery
Will Not be Dismissed
From the Army.
Associated Freis.
Washington, Aug. s.—President Taft
has commuted the sentence of a court
martial that Capt. Daniel W. Hand,
First field artillery, at San Francisco,
be dismissed from the army without
honor for drunkenness, violating a
pledge of temperance and absence with
out leave.
Because of his previous excellent rec
ord and gallant conduct with the Fif
teenth Minnesota volunteers in the war
with Spain, the president commuted the
sentence to reduce Captain Hand to the
bottom of the list of field artillery cap
tains, where his name must remain five
years, and that he be confined for one
year to the limits of the military reser
vation, wherever his battery may serve.
BRUSH FIRES HAVE
DEVASTATED FORESTS
Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. s.—The current
year threatens to be one of the most
disastrous to the national forests from
fires in the history of th<f country be
cause of the drouth conditions in the
west.
Secretary Wilson of the agricultural
department, who is in the west on a
tour of inspection of the forest re
serves, has expressed a willingness, ac
cording to reports to the forest serv
ice, to incur a deficiency, if necessary,
in the appropriations made by congress
to fight the fires during the present
year. The danger is especially acute
in Western Montana and Northern Ida
ho. District Forester Greely at Mis
soula, in a report to the forest service,
says that forty large fires on the re
serves in that territory have been
brought under control, but that ten to
fifteen are still burning.

The wreck lies in 158 feet of water.

tion.

TAXPAYER IN .
CHICAGO GETS
MONEY’S WORTH
Comptroller Compiles Statis
tics Showing This to be
More Than True.
TAXES LOW, SERVICE GOOD
Average Family Pays $61.12
and Receives Service Cost
ing $172.02 In Return.
Associated Press.
Chicago, 111., Aug. s.—ln support of
his contention that a family can live
in Chicago at a smaller public expense
than in any other large city of Amer
ica, City Comptroller Wilson yesterday
issued many columns of figures, show
ing that the average property owner in
Chicago gets services costing more thin
300 per cent of the annual taxes paid
by him. '
For his average property owner, he
selected a man awning a $3OOO resi
dence and having a wife and three chil
dren. He estimated the real estate tax
at $46.10 and the water tax at $7.65,
a total of $53.75, adding a possible per
sonal property tax of $7.37, giving a
total of $61.12. For this he held the
family would receive service costing
$172.02, and if the county,.state and
similar services be included Im estimat
ed the total benefits at $195.25.
In his basis for calculation Mr. Wil
son considered the population of the
citv as 2,500,000 and used the assessed
valuation of the property and the total
product from taxation as the basis for
.fixing the tax rate at $4.61 per $lOO,
upon which he reached the total of tax
ation in his hypothetical case.
His estimate of the-cost of services
furnished was based on the property
owners’ share in the various forms of
governmental operation, itemized in
part as follows: Police protection,
$11.80; fire protection, $6; health pro
tection, $1.10; removal of garbage,
$2.85; cleaning and 'repairing streets,
etc., $3.25; maintenance of house of
correction, municipal courts, etc., $2.15;
operation and improvements of water
works, $10.10; public library, 70 cents;
schools (each child $37.39), $112.17;
benefit of parks nnfl boulevards, $9.25.

Associated Press.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 5. —While
Chairman Robertson of the regular
state democratic headquarters here, lias
given out no statement today, leaders
of his, the Patterson faction, practi
cally admit the independent judiciary
ticket carried the state by 25,000 ma
jority.
Chairman Vertrees, in an unofficial
statement this morning, said he saw no
reason for changing ttie forecast made
several .lays ago of a majority of 40,-
090 in the state for th* independents.
Other independent leaders place the
vote as high as 50,000 votes. Returns
from outlying counties are coming in
slowly and it will be several days be
fore the exact figures can be given.
East Tennessee, the republican strong
h.ld in Tennessee, proved the Water
loo of the regular democracy. Advices
from that section are that the republi
cans stood almost to a man behind the
independents. Carter county, a rock
ribbed republican county and former
home of Senator Taylor, rolled up a
majority of 2000 for the independents.
