HAVEITINvESTIGATED.

1t has been fully shown how the
whole tax levy has been rendered abso-
lutely void by the culpable action of
the Board of Supervisors. Not one cent
could be collected before any court i'll
the nation. The records of the session
on file, and of which we hold certified
copies, are prima facie evidence that
the report of the committee on equal
ization was a "doctored" one and that
it was rushed through purposely with
the view of escaping formidable oppo-
sition. 1t is plainly the work of politi-
cal tricksters, who use the blanket of
party to cover over their corrupt and
selfish practices. For any one to at
tempt defense of this policy is for
them to enter the mud themselves and
to become equally tainted with its
filth. To expose it is to stand up for
the peoples rights, nothing daunting.
Our crusade has been an entirely I'M
selfish one. We have no spite to as
suage by malignmg the character of
any man. Such is not the duty of a
public servant. But what we do, and
will continue TO do, is to expose the
true nature and works of those who
are posing before the people in a
false capacity.
1t has been this unselfish research
which has developed the fact, equally
to our surprise, that this practice of
our supervisors is rotten one clear to
the heart. We have seen that accord
ing To filed records, the whole tax levy
is void. Can there be any doubt of
this? If this he true, is there any ex-
cuse which will eXculpate our public
servants from such base abuse of Il
public trust? We think not. They did
not consider the townships and wards
separately in making their equaliza-
tons, nor was the report signed by the
Clerk, as required by law in both cases.
This invalidates the whole work of the
board; and it is the real basis of our
complaint. Had the townships and
wards been considered separately III
the equalization there would not have
been the chance for fraud, of which
we now complain; and the Clerk would
not have omitted his signature in that
case as it would have been a culpable
negligence. But the Clerk did omit
his signature. He evidently saw the
unlawfulness of the proceedings and
refused to give it countenance.
Now, people, the case lies before you
to pass in silence over this rank OPP
preston when loop-hole is given for
your escape, or to avail yourself of the
opportunity which the law has given
you and require All investigation.
Which shall it be.

Supervisor Brad bier and Chas.
Bailey.

Bradbier talks. He says in "Bailey's
admirable article, he Bailey forgot TO
state that Fort GratiOt in 1880 was
equalized Mt S51S, $50, and that in 1890
it was equalized ut 1871 200, raise of
5000 900 between 1880 and 1890.
Now, Bradbier, if you are as dishon-
est with the taxpayers of Fort Gratiot
as you are in this statement it will ac-
count for your conduct during the last
session of the Board. You are good
servant of the combine. Falsehood
does not wear well, and the man who
deliberately makes false statement,
having all the opportunities to know
the truth is unsafe. The official re-
port of the Board of supervisors for
1880 shows Fort Gratiot equaliZed on
real estate (the only property that can
be equalized) ut S49l 600. Bradbier,
you know that the personal assessment
is only added to the sum of real estate
when equalized. You seek to deceive.
In 1890 Fort Gratiot was equalized on
real estate S42S,ll5, just 500 ,495 less
than in 1880. Harry, you have learned
the tricks pretty well, but silence is the
best cover you can find. No doubt you
have the same teachers in deceiving
the small property owners i'll your city.
The equalization between them and
the wealthy owners no dohbt would
show glazing favoritism to the latter.
The war must be carried into Fort
Grariot. You will SOON be called upon
to answer. 4 Friend,

Real estate in the townships has de-
creased i'll value III the Iast 10 years.
Port Huron real estate has advanced
Sl64, 260 i'll the last ten years by its as
sessment.
Only real estate is eqtsllized. The
personal property is added to it after
ITS equalization.

Port Huron is paying taxes today on
Sl64 ,26O more of real estate than ih 49,
so, ten years ago.
The Third Ward in Port IuTon pays
taxes to-day on S44 ,925 less than in
1890 on real estate.
The Second Ward in Pbst Huron
pays taxes to-day on $500 less than
i'll 1880 on real estate.
All that is wanted are the facts of
the case whether taken from one side
or another, they prove the business of
our complaint.
The cities of the county were equal
lied at S4l7 ,S75 below their assessment
and the townships 81 ,496,695 above
their assessment.
If Port Huron has escaped taxation
on SO 100000 this year, as is estimated
at the rate of As mills, it robs the
county of $4,000.
The "baby" can not answer all the
questions put to it. But il gags and
spits and makes lots of fuss. "Cow"
Bailey should be continually ON hand.
The "baby" says total raise in tax
able valuation in Port Huron in 10
years of S24l 1925 is terribly oppressive,
and deserves discrimination in its favor
by the "good supervisors"

D1ED.-At the residence Of G. E. Roe,
on Sunday, February 22nd, 1891, of
pneumonia, u dear mother, Sarah
Bingham, aged rs years. Here has
been a useful and eventful life. She
was born near Knoxville, Tenn, in the
year 1916. In 1912 she was married
TO our dear father, Levi Dennis. In
this union two boys were born to them,
John and Edward Dennis. In 1916
they immigrated to Sullivan Co., Mo-,
father dying three weeks after their
arrival. There she married Samuel
Bingham, by whom five children were
born to her, two girls and three boys.
In 81 they journeyed toUtah and back
to Colorado the same year, living there
until they came to Hot Springs in 1880.
Many were her hardships and TRIALS
with but few sunny moments to bright
en- her life. She was a kind, loving
mother, and greatly loved by her chill
dren and grand children, and her many
friends. For four years her sight has
been failing her until at the time of
her death she wa very nearly blind.
This worried her greatly and she felt
that when her sight was gone there
was nothing more to live for in this
world. In her last sickness she was
a great sufferer and although she is
sadly missed by us all, We cannot wish
her back into this world to suffer more.
ale giveth his beloved Sleep" and we
know that sometime IN the far of fu-
ture We shall ses her where disease and
death IAN never come. Where God,
himself, will wipe the tears from every
eye. Blessed hope. Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard, Of the wonderful things
which God has prepared for those who
love him."
SAND thus shall faith's controlling power,
The tears Of love restrain;
Oh, who that saw thy parting hour,
Could wish thee back again?
Angels shall guard thy sleeping dust,
And - thy Saviour rose,
The grave again shall yield her trust,
And end thy deep rcpose.
Thy Lord before to glory gone,
Shall bid thee come away;
Andc calm and bright shall break the lawn
OF heavens eternal day."
