ever and, with all other residents OF
Shiawassee, vote solidly for the erection
of new court house, one which will be
worthy of this entire prosperous county,
| to be erected at the present county seat
The amount which is asked for the
erection of the new building is not un-
reasonable, and in this connection it
may be worth while to call attention to
recent record made by the board of
supervisors, many of the members be-
ing the same men as those now sitting
on the board. The matter referred to
is the recent erection of the new build
ing at the county farm. When the new
building was asked for the members Of
the county board gave their individual
word of honor that the building would
be built within the appropriation, ten
thousand dollars The building was
built according to specifications, was
well built in every respect, and when
the last cent had been paid the contrac-
tors balance of nearly one thousand
dollars was left The supervisors en-
ployed this money in building a much
needed barn which has doubtless al
ready saved no small amount of the in
terest on the cost of both house and
barn for the county.
Today the supervisors give their word
of honor again that there will be no adj
ditional call for added appropriations
with which to finish the court house.
The appropriation will not be exceeded.
They do not promise another saving of
ten per cent under the estimated cost
but they do promise that the building
will be erected, finished, and furnished
for the amount now asked for, seventy
five thousand dollars. This is the
amount they ask the voters of the county
to authorize them to expend for the
building at the election which occurs
only three weeks from next Monday.
The county can well afford the sum.
There will probably never be more
favorable time for raising the money
than this time when the entire county
is entering on new era of prosperity,
and in particular when the sugar beet
industry is just getting start in the
county with all that it will bring both
directly and indirectly to the farmers of
the county. The amount, too, is suffi-
cient to build court house of which
every resident of Shiawassee county
may well be proud. The county needs
it. The officers whom the county has
elected deserve better place in which
to perform their duties. The safety of
the records of every home owner in the
county demands increased and safer
vault room. And last of all the city of
Corunna which has freely opened to the
whole county its gift of McCurdy Park,
deserves to have the new building erect
ed within its limits.
The TIMES hopes that the majority
by which the measure carries will be so
large as to seem practically unanimous.

Effect of the Cuban Treaty.
From the American Economist.


F. 1.-THE effect of the Treaty on sugar
will be to enable Cuban sugar to win
out in the long struggle with beet
sugar. Report of Cuban Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
We would like to ask the republican
senators in Washington to give one
moment of earnest consideration to the
above excerpt from the report of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
of the Cuban Congress. If our senator's
at Washington will take the trouble to
read this sententious paragraph we feel
sure that they will be disposed to give it
more than momentary consideration.
They cannot escape from the serious
significance of the statement that the
Cubans are looking forward hopefully
and confidently to the complete extinc-
ton of the beet sugar industry in the
United States. In the report of the
Cuban Senate Committee, submitted on
Friday, February 90, 1908, and from
which the above literal quotation is ex-
tracted, there is no attempt at conceal
ment. They tell the truth, and tell it
plainly. A republican president of the
United States may stand before an
of Michigan sugar beet
growers and tell them they are not go
ing to be hurt by the Cuban treaty.
senators may make trades
for executive patronage and quiet their
consciences by saying that the domestic
sugar producers are not going to be
hurt by the Cuban treaty. But the
Cubans themselves know better. They
know that with the exclusive privilege
of marketing their sugar in the United
States at 20 per cent. tariff reduction
they can drive American beet sugar

will be to enable Cuban sugar to win

Such will undoubtedly be the effect.
Such was the effect intended when the

Again, we ask republican senator's to
give this matter moment of their val
