UNEASY OFFICIALS.
Even IF Republicans Win Changes at
State House Imminent.

The state house, employees approach
the coming election with considerable
anxiety, due to the question of tenure
of office in the event of the Republican
success.
The employees have not yet made for
NAL application to be retained, some
probably because of the fact that they
realize their usefulness will end with the
close of two years, even if the Republi-
cans retain control of the state offices.
Two men, prominent in the state de-
Dartments, have gotten into disfavor
with their masters and the politicians
and they are slated to go. Were it not
for creating a squabble these men
would not remain to hear the result of
the election.

TOWNSHIP TREASURERS
Should Read this Circular Letter
From the Auditor General.

County Treasurer w. T. Menge
has received the following letter
from the Auditor General:
Baraga County Treasurer, L 'Anse.
Mich:
Dear Sir: | wish to call your at
tentien To section 81 of the tax law
and especially to that proviso which
reads That on January fifteenth
and each thirty days thereafter un-
til the regular quarterly settlement
for the quarter ending March thirty
first shall have been made each year,
the county treasurer shall pay to
the state all moneys coming into his
hands from the collection, OF state
tax.
Also to section ~ of the tax law,
which requires township treasurers
to pay over to the county treasurer
the amounts which shall have been
collected for state and county pur-
poes up to and including the 10Th
day of January, within three days
thereafter, and the remainder of the
state and county tax specified IN hlS
warrant on or before the first day of
March, etc.
1t has come TO the attention of
this department through CORES
pondence with county treasurers in
connection with these provisions Of
law, that township treasurers have
failed TO pay over to the state and
county taxes on or before January
18th, as required by section II, and
county treasurcrS have excused
themselves for their failure to com
ply with section S7lfor that reason.
| suggest that you call the attention
of each township or city treasurer
at once to his duties under section
~, so that there may be no excuse
this year for noncompliance with
the law. Very respectfully,
Roscoe ID. DIX, Auditor General.
