GOV. P'HHGREE IS HOPEFUL
He G.v.s Out a Characteristic In
terview in Chicago from Which
Extracts Are Taken.
MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN A LIVELY ONE.
He Is Confident That Republicans
VIII Win, and Believes That the
Coming Legislature Will He
strongly Against what He Terms
Tax Dodgers.

Chicago, H., Oct 81. - THE people
of Michigan are going to elect legis-
lature this year that will sustain me in
a renewal of my fight against wealthy
tax dodgers and corporations that thiuk
they are the whole thing. / am con-
fident of the passage of "A bill that will
tax all alike" Gov. Hazen S. Pingree,
of Michigan, made this declaration at
the Grand Pacific hotel Sunday He had
just arrived from Michigan en- route
south, and stopped at Chicago between
trains. The governor gave out a char
acteristic interview in the plain Eng
lish for which he is famed. He said:
"The republicans are going TO sweep
Michigan in this campaign, because they
have a plank In their platform which
means revival OF the Atkinson bill, which
compels every man. rich or poor, TO pay
his just share of taxes. This measure was
only defeated at the last session OF the
legislature by the susceptibility OF a few
legislators to bribe In the form of at
ronage bait. julius Caesar Burrows and
Senator Mcmillan opposed the bill then
because they were personally interested
In defeating a measure that would make
them pay just taxation.
This year the people are thoroughly
aroused and ! feel confident that / will
have a legislature at the next session that
will abide by the voice of the people and
compel corporations, trusts and million
aires TO realize that they have got to stop
lodging payment of their taxes in the state
of Michigan. / don't know what the demo-
Gratis are doing in Michigan, and l care
less, because / am kept busy nowadays
making a fight that will drive some OF
the thieves out of the republican party
and kicking them into political oblivion,
where they belong.
We've got a couple Of men on the su-
preme bench over in Michigan who ride
around in railroad coaches on annual
passes and who use telegraph franks and
the like. We are not surprised, therefore,
when they arraign themselves on the side
of corpora tions and the gang OF moneyed
men who are trying to monopolize courts
as we'll as everything else. This is going
10 be the peoples year in Michigan, and
these fellows will doubtless take warning
and fall in line with the people.
"It is simply a violation of the constitu-
tion for Michigan to allow monopolists TO
grab the state by the throat and rob 1t,
year after year, of thousands and thou
sands of dollars of tax money The rail-
roads have got to realize sooner or later
that the people have rights that must be
respected. AS long as | am governor |
shall continue the fight which | started
shortly after l was inaugurated.

Lift to Tax-Payers.

Lansing, Oct. 25.-The superintenu
ent of public instruction has com.
pleted the apportionment of the pri
mary school money for the semi-an

Fishermen VIII Need Help.

Lansing, Oct. 2s.-Neil Gallagher, the
most prominent resident of Beaver is
their sole support from the fishing in
dustry. recently wrote Gov. Pingree
informing him that the state should
at once make provisions for caring for
a great majority of the residents of
those islands during the winter, as
the enforcement of the closed season
law will deprive them of their only
chance of earning money with which
TO carry them through the winter.
Gallagher says that without state aid
the distress on the islands will be pitt
