Our Candidates for Supervisors.

The republicans have renominated
three of the present supervisors, and in
the second selected former member of
the board and one of its most valued
members for many years, and in the
third ward a man who above any other
man in the ward should know the value
of property, the location and the own
ers, and a man who as mayor and alder
man made one of the city's best off
Gals. Serving as they do on county
board where the interests of the whole
county are at stake, it is necessary that
the city be represented by men who are
in sympathy with the majority of the
board, that no political differences make
it difficult for the city to obtain its
rights, Untried men in this class of
work are sure of making errors, and the
selection should be for men who will
work together for an equal and honest
assessment, and in the highest sense this
will be accomplished by the selection OF
the republican candidates.

Tax Decision Affirmed.

Lansing, Mich, March 29.-The supreme
court this afternoon, in a very voluminous
opinion, affirms its opinion of several months
ago in the case of the Connecticut mutual
life insurance company VS.. Eugene B..
Wood.
This is the case involving so many thou
sands of dollars of tax titles held all over
the state, the opinion in which was vigor-
ously attacked by the auditor generals de-
partment. The court says that after able
arguments by several eminent counsel,
several exhaustive briefs and a careful ex-
animation by themselves, they reach the
same conclusions stated in the former
opinion.
In closing, Judge Grant pays his respects
to the auditors Office, which urged that the
state would suffer great loss in the taxes 1t
would be compelled to refund in conse-
quence of the decision, as follows:
Courts should literally construe a revenue
statute so that the revenue shall be collect
ed, but when the state or purchaser rests
on the letter of the law both must be content
with the plain Interpretation which the reve-
nue. law will bear. When the state takes
the property of citizen, it is not entitled
to any strained construction of the law in
its favor.
THE petitioner in this case offered to pay
the taxes Speaking for myself, l regret
that the law does not provide penalty to
be imposed upon it, and also upon the Off
Gals for such gross neglect of duty. The
lands are stated to be worth about $780,
while the taxes amount to less than $50.
When the revenue officials will make just
and honest assessments and see that the
proceedings TO enforce them are regular,
which they can easily do, there will be little
difficulty in the collection of taxes.
ut is urged that adherence to to our for
mer decision will lead to confusion in the
pending proceedings before the various cir
cults courts on the pending May sales. If
any remedial legislation upon this or any
other point is necessary or urgent, the legis-
lature is now in session and can adopt such
measures as 1t may consider necessary, IL
the executive, by special message. so sug-
gests."
The opinion is concurred in by the whole
bench,

Pointed Reply.

Chairman ID. M. Ferry's reply to Gov.
Pingree's letter relative to taxation is terse
and directly to the point. No one will mis-
take his position.
Phoenix, Arizona, March 25, 1898.
Hon. FL. s. Pingree, Governor, Lansing,
Michigan:
Dear Sir-Your communication of the
14th inst, enclosing call for an lextra ses-
sion of the legislature on March 22d was du-
ly received.
Having convened the legislature without
comforting with the republican state central
committee, of which have the honor to be
chairman, am not prepared, without first
thoroughly investigating the measures you
propose, to offer any recommendation to my
republican and democratic friends in that
body, as you request. 1 have great conf.
dence in the ability and integrity of Its men,
bers, and believe that they will deal Justly
with all interests; and IL there are real, not
imaginary, wrongs existing that they will do
their best to right them.
recognize in discussing and considering
this question of taxation, the demagogue is
furnished an opportunity to make political
capital by charging upon the necessities
and rights of the poor, while denouncing
and vilifying the fortunate. For the sake of
the good name of our state it Is to be hoped
that honest and impartial judgment will
prevail, and by the good offices of those In
whose hands the people have entrusted
their interests, nothing will occur to in any
way jeopardize those interests or retard the
prosperity of the whole people, but judging
from your we'll known methods, l fear that
an extra session of the legislature at this
time will do more harm than good; and, in
stead of enacting laws that are just and ben
eficial, it will only result in intensifying the
predjudices that your words and acts tend
constantly to create In the minds of the peo-
pie, the results of which, in my judgment,
are harmful to our party, and very detri-
mental to the best interests of our state.
am, with due consideration,
DEXTER M. FERRY.
Chairman of the Michigan State Central
Committee.

The Aldermanic Candidates.

The republicans have nominated I'M
usually good men in every ward. Some
have served the city before, much to the
satisfaction of their constituents; the
others are men of good judgment, men
who have no prejudices and who will
hold the Office not for the salary or what
they can get out of the Office, but to do
the best for every interest of the city.
They are men who will work together
tremendously, putting aside political
views whenever the financial interests
of the city are concerned.
