RADICAL RECOMMENDATION
Is Gov. Bliss Proposition Con-
corning Disposal OF Primary
School Fund.

| NNooiNSsooiO utoCuoStOu u0S Occu
going on lately over the governors s
recommendation in favor OF q limit
to the primary school fund. The
governor thinks that demonstrations
of higher learning should share in
this increasing distribution from
the states treasury. His views are
embodied in his message and are as
follows:
"The heavy increase in the income
of the primary school interest fund,
as result of the larger taxes paid
by the former specific tax properties
is subject OF great interest. Iagain
raise the question If the time has not
come when the people ought to be
asked to fix limit to the amount
the state shall pay from this fund
for support of the primary schools.
Under the constitution the proceeds
of taxation from what have been
known as the specific tax properties
are paid into the primary school
fund and apportioned among the
counties for school purposes. The
use of primary school interest money
is prohibited for other purposes than
the payment Of teachers wages, and
in many districts the one mill tax
added to the primary school money
is greatly in excess of the amount
paid for teachers wages. The en-
larged income of the primary school
interest fund and the prospect Of a
still larger increase necessarily will
not improve the condition pointed
out in foregoing. A limit ought to
be fixed beyond which the taxes de
rived from these properties shall be
used for the general purposes Of the
state, or else be diverted TO the sup
port of the higher educational insti-
tutions, such as the University of
Michigan, the Agricultural college
and the state Normal schools, in this
way affording direct relief to the
general taxpayer. The ad valorem
taxation of railroads and other for
mer specific tax properties, il sus-
tanned, has increased the income OF
the primary school interest fund by
over $500, 900 each two years,
which exceeds the sums now raised
by tax for the support OF the Uni
versity Of Michigan, the Michigan
Agricultural college, the College Of
Mines and the three state Normal
schools, which for the years 1901 1902
amounted to 81 1,64S,000 BY way OF
further illustration, if this increase
of 81, 800, 900 should be turned into
the general fund it would render un.
necessary the levying of tax for
the payment of the current expenses
OF the prisons, the asylums and the
general purposes of the state, which
for the last two years aggregated
80, 1872 900. In order to afford this
relief to the general taxpayer, it will
be necessary to submit an amend
ment of the constitution to the pco-
pie n1this should be done at the
coming spring election. The primary
school apportionment for 1901 was
on per capita basis of $2.40, and
for 1902 it was $2.62."

DEEP RUN CLUB
TAKING NEW LIFE
Interesting Meeting and Rally
Last Night--Plans We're
Discussed.

The Deep Run Hunt Club seems to be
taking on new life. fine meeting OF
loyal members was held at the West
morcland Club last night. New blood
was put into official positions and on
the governing board of the club. New
plans were discussed ana the spirit of the
meeting was the best possible
1t is not very likely that the present
quarters will be retained long. AT the
meeting consolidation with the Hermit
age Golf Club. and even with the Lake
side Country CLUB. was under discussion.
One Of the objections raised to the pres
cnt home of the club was its increasing
inaccessbility. Complaint was also made
Of the condition Of the Hermitage road.
Members Of the club are desiroIs of in
creasing the number of, sports Of the
club to shooting and golf. number OF
members ara favorable to having
country clu5 -house out on the -Y

that the Hermitage Club and this organi-
cation Will almost certainly unite in get
ting home together. The president
was authorized to appoint a committee
to report on site for new clubhouse
and such arrangements with any other
clubs that might seem desirable and
beneficial The following officers were
chosen:

/ DETAILS OF AWARD
United States Contentious Granted nj
A most Every Case.
nv Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 20.--Secre-
tary Hay to-day received a cable
gram from John w. Foster, of the Amer
lean counsel before the Alaskan Boundary
Commission, giving the details of the
award Of that commission. Tho cablegram
shows that the contentious of the United
States have been granted In almost every
case. II also stated that the Canadian
Commissioners refused to sign the award.
Mr. Foster did not undertake to supply
Secretary Hay witt; the text of the agrees
ment reached by the commission. but fur
nished a succnct outlire OF It's provisions,
telling what lad been decided upon under
each head of the articles of submission.
The diversions from the American claims.
as set out in the Hay-Pauntef orte modus
yivendi, are even more favorable to the
American case than the limitations set
out in that document. One of the most
important acquisitions Is the confirma-
ton of the American title to the White
Pass and Chilkoo Pass, the only practical
available entrances to the klondike count
try from the head Of the inland water
way in the former Of which stands the
Canadian custom house. which must now
give way to American control.
The attitude of the Canadian Commits
sioners In refusing to sign the commits
sion's report Is scarcely matter of sur
prise to the department officials. for
they realized that in the present heated
state Of mind Of the Canadians COM
missioner's lot would be unpleasant II
he made any sort OF concession to the
United States.
What Mr.. Foster has to say as to that
portion of the decision touching the Port
land Canal, goes to diminish the impor-
lance OF even that slight Canadian vic
tory. for he confirms the London report
to the effect that free navigation of that
waterway on the western side with full
control of the western shore is retained
by the United States. while the loss OF
Pearce and Wales Islands from the ex-
IRENE American claim Is partially met by
confirmation to the title of two other
islands at the mouth Of the canal which
from a military point of view, dominate
the proposed terminus of the Port Simp-
son Railroad and the adjacent British
