TO COLLECT TAXES.
Iron and Dickinson Counties
Adopt Resolutions.
Representatives Petltloned TO Work
for Amendment of Tax Laws
OF the Upper Peninsula.

Messrs A. Justified and j. B.
Schwartz, representing the supervisors
OF Iron, county went to Iron Mountain
Tuesday, where they attended meeting
OF the supervisors OF Dickinson county.
with view 20 making move toward
the amendment OF the present tax laws.
The meeting was an interesting one and
all present seemed animated with tho
one desire To have the tax laws NO
amended as 60 render the collection ot
taxes more convenient and to force tho
members oi the misnamed Tax
payers association to stand their
share OF the expense OF municipal and
state government. The following reso-
lutions were adopted and "A copy thereof
sent TO Senator Pnscoe and Representa-
tive Cook, at Lansing with the request
that they be presented to the Senate
and House oi Representatives:
Resolved that this board request the Repre-
sentative and senator Of the districts OF which
this county forms part 20 use their influence
20 secure amendments 20 the tax laws insofar
as they apply to the upper peninsula, as fol-
lows;
list. That the meetings OF the Board OF no
View be held not earlier than the third Monday
i az August IN each year.
2nd That all highway taxes be assessed
upon The entiie organized townships and ex'
pended where the Highway commissioner may
direct instead OF separately upon the surveyed
townships NJ at present.
3rd. That whenever any property shall 60.
cape taxation BY reason OF any taxes having
been set aside on account Of Irregularities such
property shall for the year next following tho
time when such taxes are so set aside be as-
sossed not only at is then cash valne but In
addition thereto at its cash value at the time IL
was assessed for the tax 80 set aside.
The several counties Of the upper pen
insulu are about tired Of the highhanded
manner in which the Taxpayers associ-
alton has manipulated the tax laws and
| escaped the payment of taxes IN the
past. Every county in the peninsula
should join in the movement FOR amend
ed tax laws and fight every protest that
the non-taxpaying land sharks enter
, An organization Of the different counties
. in tho peninsula FOR this purpose would
not be in bad order, and The DIAMoNi
, DRILL would suggest that the same b'
effected MS soon as possible.

IL is Used 10 Furnish Items Of "News" For Sew.

Some newspapers in the upper penln-
suIa are afflicted with abnormal imagl-
nations. Not Il few Of The DIAMOND
DRI.L's exchanges, in commenting upon
the recent draining Of the water works
reservoir, have pictured the Village OF
Crystal Falls as n skating rink, saying
that by the bursting OF the water main
the streets were flooded. II is true the
pipe burstcd, but the break occurred at
the lower end Of the town, and ~ order
60 Hood the streets the water would
have to run up hill half II mile long
soping in some plnces at an angle %
about twenty-five degrees. But tho
Imagination OF some OF the aiore men
toned exchanges is capable Of making
even that simple matter The pip'
has been repaired. however, and once
