The commissioner Explains.

State Tax Commissioner Freeman,
in an interview with the Detroit Free
Press. denied some of the rumors
which had been in circulation regard
ing the commission and the work of
its field agents. Mr. Freeman adj
mltted that he had had reason to in
vestigatc the charges of some of the
boards agents now aScertaining land
values in different parts of the state,
but said that he could not find that
anything was wrong with the expense
accounts. ana they were all sworn to.
He says there is a disposition TO charge
state employees the limit when they are
out in the state, and he believes that
while the expense accounts are high,
they are correct.
This work must be finished by Au-
gust next and obviously requires the
hiring of at least the twenty-five men.
The duty must be done and the eX-
pense met for the legislature has com.
manded il, and there is no alternative

ma WORT, Heavy Expen,es.

There is a good deal of criticism of
the state tax commission, some OF
which seems to be well founded. The
expenses OF the field men who have
been out I'm the state looking up valua-
tions of property have been so heavy
as TO excite suspicion, and the accounts
of the commissioners and the expenses
OF their employees have been brought
to the attention OF Gov. Bliss by the
board of state auditors. The allowances
OF the board Of auditors for the lax
commission for June were 81, l46.O9.

heavy burden. The salaries and pay
rolls of the office aggregated $4,000;

$12.49; telegraphing. S11. %: assistants,
S13.05: livery hire, SJ6005; hotel eX-
penses. $99902. Some OF the field has
been so badly done that II will have to
be done over at heavy expense. The
men were instructed 10 obtain from the
supervisors certain information to be
used in determining the actual value Of
the counties for the benefit of the state
board of equalization which meets in
August 4 necessary part Of this in
formation is the values Of property in
1896 when the last board of equaliZa-
tion met as well as In the present year.
In some cases the field men have failed
to take the valuations required and
their work is therefore worthless TO the
state.

THE LAST RITES PERFORMED.

The Inst Rites.

The funeral of Ex-Governor HaZen ;.
Pingree on Saturday marked the close
of a career that will be felt in Michigan
for long years to come. The services
at the home were simple and impress
sive, the march 10 the burial place with
the civic and military organizations,
numbering thousands, was grand ana
imposing. The streets for miles were
lined with people to witness the last
sad spectacle terminating the uSeful
work Of n remarkable citizen. The sun
was setting as the cortege reached the
tomb. where the Scottish Rite Masons
were assembled To perform the last
rites.

grand has seldom been offered over the
grave of the worlds great. The people

ING valley. 10000 people barred their
heads and waves of emotion ran along
the multitude rs the magnificent cere-
mony was performed in natures great

All nature was at peace in the green
est of valleys, and "A stained and SOFT
ened light was thrown upon the farth-
est banks weaving itself among the
giant trees The people were assem-
bled i'm great semi-circles on the hills.
while beneath was the stately pomp OF
military and the funeral pace Of
mourners' feet. As the body was de-
posted upon its black bier and the uni
formed MasOns and civilian mOurners
had drawn up on either side. the clear
and solemn tones of the Masonic rites
were carried beyond to the listeners,
every word drunk in rs balm to the
wounded hearts.
Then the deep-toned voices Of the flu
neral choir swept over the evening
scene. rising fuller and more full until
the heavens seemed TO have joined in
the magnificent chant.
An effect more impressive is not
easily conceived, and tide Of the deep
est emotion moved over the amphi-
theater. In an intense silence. broken
only by the sobbing Of the bereaved,
the casket was borne behind the chill
walls of the sepulchre. and the grim
brazen doors closed upon the dead.

When Secretary Cages action in i'm
posing countervailing duties on Rus
sian sugar exported 10 the United
States was followed by so dispropor-
tionate repriSal as the imposition Of 30
per cent increased duties on the most
important American importations
there, the importers of American tools
and machinery seemed stunned. They
were disposed to support Russia on the
legal aspects, but some of them re-ex-
amined the matter and concluded that
the Russian sugar regulations amount
TO practical compulsion to manufacture
for export The actual effects Of the
discriminating duties have not been as
disastrous as expected. The decrease
in Asiatic imports Is chiefly due to the
abolition of the open port ut Vladivos-
took.
