Tuesday. Smith. with the assessors of
Kalamazoo. have been hired by the
state tax commission to investigate the
assessments of Wayne county, the pur

Oakman made the following comment
on this move:
'It might be we'll for some of the
heavier taxpayers of Detroit to ask the
state tax commission to appoint the
city assessors of Detroit to investigate
the assessments Of mines in the upper
peninsula and to sec how the figures
in other Michigan cities are placed.
That would relieve the tax commission
ers of all responsibility"
The city assessors have set ten of
their men at work to take the figures
at which recent sales of real estate in
this city were made. in order that it
may he shown that Detroit property is
assessed at almost market value. Five

The Cron Prosnects.

Secretary OF State Warner reports
that the wheat crop of Michigan this
year will be very poor, the crop having
continued to fail during the past
month. many fields that promised well
in the early part of the season, having
been plowed up or pastured. The Hes
sian fly is mainly responsible for this
condition, and had 1t not been for the
cool weather of spring, this damage
would have been much greater.
The average estimated yield In the
southern counties, where three-quart-
ers of the Michigan wheat crop Is
grown, is 8 bushels per acre; central
counties, II; northern counties, IL;
state, 10. One year ago, the estimate
for the state was bushels.
During the past month. the weather
has been unfavorable for corn, much
seed having rotted in the ground. AT
best. the stand will be thin, and UNI
even. The condition for the state is
ST. Cool weather has retarded the
growth of oats. which have headed out
short, but may fill well. The condition
for the state is So.
Owing to the fact that so much
wheat is plowed up. the acreage Of
beans is large. Condition is "a for the
state. Condition of potatoes is 91 for
the state.

Postmaster General Smith has taken
up the question of reform in second

agree that there is sufficient warrant
In existing law for the rigid enforce
ment of orders against fake publca
tons which have been admitted to the
mails as second class matter. It is
explained at the postofiice department
that it is not the intention to refuse
second class rates TO legitimate pub
LEGATIONS. They have not constituted Il
burden upon the postal facilities of
the country. The departments action
will be aimed against cheap publica-
tions which make offers of premiums
evidently of more value than tho pub

Cannot Tax II.

The assessor of Howell assessed
against Thomas Gordon as agent for
Rogers 100000 on personal property.
This sum was supposed to represent
the money which had been loaned
through Gordon in this state on notes
and mortgages. and such money as
Gordon might have had mt the time in
his custody belonging to Rogers. The
circuit court held that the money was
subject to taxation and that the deter
mination of the board of review as to
the amount was final and not review
able, no fraud being charged.
The supreme court has reversed the
case. The court says it is the policy in
this state to tax credits owned by resi-
dents only. and the provisions of the
law and decisions are quoted to that
effect. at is legally clear" says the
court, that the money in Gordon's
possession was not assessable."

Russia's offer.

Another important exchange has Oc-

the tariff. The Russian minister of
finance, NJ. de Witte, has proposed that
Russia will vacate all of the additional
duties levied on American goods since
the imposition Of the sugar differential,
If the United States will vacate it's ac-
tion on the sugar differential. TO this
Secretary Gage replied that the offer of
the Russian government cannot be ac-
cepted. as the question of the sugar
differential is now in the hands of the
court. thus precluding action by the
executive branch. These exchanges,
although made nominally by the minis
ter Of finance and Secretary Gage.

Western apples sent to the New
York market last season afford new
proof of the Importance of packing
gooGs in the best way. In the ordinary
New York fiat there is seldom room
for barrel of apples, nor would fruit
bought in such quantity keep until
used. On the other hand apples pur-
chased by the dozen CT the peck are
expensive. Western growers who act
ed upon this knowledge were well paid.
Last year they shipped their apples to
New York in boxes. They were sold
at barrel rates, and the boxes were
conveniently kept on the fire escapes
until freezing weather. Two hundred
and fifty thousand boxes were sold last
winter, and this year the number will
be still larger.

A Maryland judge has judicially af-
firmed one of woman's rights, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. If a woman
finds her husband lettering around the
streets, she has a right to order him
home, where his presence is wanted,
and to push, shove or otherwise use so
much force as is necessary to make
him obey. This is an especially in
disputable right, according to the
learned court of Hagerstown, Md,
where the lettering husband is found
in company with another woman.
