THE TAX RATE

The tax rate for the year 1888, as
will be perceived by the animal pubIca-
ton, has been fixed at % cents On the
$40, an increase of . cents over the
year 1887. When the announcement
was made in 1887 that the tax rate was
reduced from 81 OF, which was the rate
for the year 1886, to 81 cents there was
general rejoicing, and the lNpEraSDESr
congratulated the old board for their f.
uancial ability. Yet We expressed Il
fear that the reduction was not genuine
one, that there was no substHuli j de
Grease in the taxes. Many others W re-
under the impression that there was Il
failure to provide in the levy for certain
expenses Of the county and that, accord
ing to a contemplate custom which has
grown up in this county, on the year Of
=, general election of officers, the tax
rate was reduced The object in thus
reducing the rate is to cite the wise
and economical administration of the
party in power and thus capture votes at
the ensuing election But the hope
was, that such had not been done Now
however we are forced to the conclusion
that the old board Of commissioners
could not resist the temptation, and re-
sorted to the old trick This old board
was composed of business men and were
selected by their party be
cause of their well known fnan
cial ability, and the people, regarI-
less of party, hardly expected rom them
any tricks Of demagogrry Our ain
has been to give just credit to oil oih-
Cia's regardless Of their party affiliations
wh,n any public good has been accom-
plished, aud we shall continue that
course But we cmphatically condcnn
the attempt to deceive the people by u
false cry of reduction in expenses when
there has Oeen no substantial decrease
The fact that such course may have
been pursued by previous lolrds i,
moi sufficient Justification for tie party
in power to continue the rclrch,usitle
course. and we sincerely hope that il
the fu'ure no other boarl will attempt to
catch votes by Offering this old chest

the country, aud strong aud detcrmiu d
opposition by the Il public Us, the Sen

opposition to this treaty was due to the
fact that many privileges were granted
TO Canadian subjects which were coasid-

Outside Of the Tally or Scale Book the lit
erary contributions from the lumber camps
of Michigan or Wisconsin have not been
written very difuse or diversified. In fact
the literature of the lumber woods has been
confined principally 10 the work of the
journals identified with the lumber interests.

taken up this special feature Of long neg
lected subject, and is now engaged in pub
fishing work with the above title. The
author has had practical experience of
some ten years in every phase of lumber
camp life and labor, besides being connect
ed editorislly with several leading lumber
journals, and Is presumed to know what he
is writing about. The work is now in press
and will present q full description Of lum-
bering in all its phases, including camp
building, logging, rafting, booming, stoam
log roads, improvements In numbering tools,
skidders. work on rivers. etc. Camp life in
every variety, will be shown. Romance of
the forest in stories, sketches, songs, fun
