The TIMES earnestly hopes the council
will not decide to ask the Legislature to Gre
ate new ward from parts of the first and
fourth. We see nothing to be gained from
the move, except that we should have one
more supervisor which we do not believe
would be of enough benefit to make the
change. Our local taxes are heavy enough
at present, and economy instead of expen-
sasion in public expenditures is what is
wanted by the people. The wards as they
have been arranged for years are satisfac-
tory to the people generally and should be
left alone. If necessary to accommodate
the voters, additional voting precincts can
be established in wards one and four.

State Statistician Deland calls attention
in his report to the power of the assessor
to constantly change the valuation of town.
ship taxes. He says the average supervisor
thinks he is elected to punish his enemies
or reward his friends and apportions taxes
accordingly. He complains of the favorit
ism shown large corporations, especially in
lumber districts, where property is often
not assessed at all. Mr.. Deland thinks
that the evasion of these taxes is fraudulent
and that the law should be so changed as to
impose greater danger to the assessor. He
should stand responsible for his official acts
without the qualifying adjective ''willful,'
or the privilege of testifying as to his own
'intent."

The recount Of the votes In three town
ships In Saginaw county for representative
asked for by John Baird, the defeated repub-
lican candidate. shows gross irregularities
and very poor work In the canvass. Mr..
Baird was declared defeated by about 100
votes but the recount In four townships has
reduced the figures to IS and it is highly
probable that the recount in the other
townships will result in his being elected
and by quite large majority too. An un-
official count also shows a large gain for
Emory Townsend, the defeated republican
candidate for state senator. The chances
are that proceedings will be commenced for
a recount of the entire vote of the county.
If the townships above mentioned proved to
be samples, would result in the entire re-
publican county ticket being declared
elected and possibly also Congressman Lin
ton. Great interest is being taken in the
matter and the proceedings are watched
daily with much interest.

The Ohio wool growers association al its
annual meeting last week adopted strong
resolutions, demanding tariff on wool.
The preamble declares that the seyerest
blow ever dealt the agricultural interest of
the United States was inflicted by the tariff
In 1894, and the most disastrous of all was
the placing of wool on the free list, THE
action depreciatlng the American focks, re-
duciDg the price of wool so per cent and
causing loss to the wool growers In three
years of over $l75 600, 600; that it is fast
eliminating the most important branch Of
industry from the farmer and farm labor
ers, H. well as others who must draw their
support from agricultural industries, and
that 1t Is the first and highest duty of the
incoming administration to revise ths
tariff at the earliest possible moment. The
resolutions demand that such duty as will
fully restore the industry be put upon wool,
and the new tariff act should contain a
clause providing for additional duties on
wool and woolens In bonded warehouses or
imported after March 8, 1897, and declar.
ing against ad valorem duties as inviting
frauds.
