The County Bond Issue.

THE TIMES wishes just once more to
urge the voters of the county to act
wisely in the matter of voting the coun-
ty bonds. Think the matter over very
calmly and do not let any blind preju-
dice lead to doing anything which is
not for the best of the county. To THE
TIMES it seems that the best course is to
vote the bonds and square away affairs.
To let them run as they will have to if
the bonds are not voted will be to make
it practically impossible for the new
board of supervisors which you will
elect next Monday to do business with
out resorting to similar practices which
you are now condemning in the retiring
board and its immediate predecessors.
In fact it is difficult to see how the new
board will be able to carry on county
on the voters of the county in a special
election to do just what they are now
asked to do, viz, authorize bond issue
to straighten out affairs and provide
money for paying. the running expenses
of the county. Without the authoriz-
ing of the raising Of money in this way
every man who serves on jury, every
man who performs any service for the
county, will have to wait indefinitely
for his pay. 1t does not seem possible.
that the voters of Shiawassee county
Ticlot no MIA,
to, in the position Of being unable to
pay its just debts and ordinary running
expenses. Yet that is just what it will
amount to to defeat the bonding propo-
sition Monday. Of course it is for the
voters to say whether they wish to
stand off their creditors for the sake of
furnishing board which will be out of
Office just as the punishment begins,
and to do so will be but to increase the
cost of strengthening out matters by
that very act. The calling of special
election to again consider the matter
will be one of the first disagreeable
duties which will devolve upon the new
board, and special election costs mon
ey. You, voters and taxpayers, will have
to pay this bill in the end, in addition
to the amount now necessary to square
away the county finances for the new
board. 1t is all up to you, but does it
not look little short-sighted to try to
punish the present, retiring board, by
saddling the same old troubles on the
new board, and by saddling extra ex-
penses such as higher interest charges
on parts of the debt, interest charges on
deferred bills, and the necessary cost of
a special election, on yourselves, when
the whole matter can be settled at
Mondays election without any extra ex-
pense. Look to the election of trust
worthy supervisors Monday and give
them clean slate to work on at the
same time.

delegates instead of Is as under the old
apportionment. Saginaw will have 90,

There was absolutely no good reason
why the voting machines could not
have been tried this spring and the
aldermen who voted against so doing
have said by their votes that they did
not believe the people of the city had
sufficient knowledge to register their
wishes in this manner. The progress
sive cities of the state are putting in
voting machines and in few years no
other method of voting will be in exist
ence.

It is the duty of republicans in city
and village and country to give the pri-
mary election system fair trial. No
voter can take any part in the trial of
the primary election method who does
not enroll as member of some party
next Monday. Be sure to enroll, no
matter to what party you may belong
and regardless Of whether or not you
favor primary reform.

cmeIter Company 10 to Boost the State
and Boom Zinc Mining.

Zinc mining in Colorado will be sent
booming by the recent action OF the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, which will install series Of
magnetic separating plants and double
the capacity Immediately OF its zinc
plant in Pueblo in this state. The
cost Of these various improvements
will be enormous and will be an under
taking OF pioneer nature. nothing OF
the kind on such huge scale hav-
ing ever been attempted before in the
United States.
The zinc ores OF Colorado were
formerly shipped abroad to be treated.
They came principally from Leadville
and the San Juan country, and 1t Is
only recently that the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company decided to
treat these ores in Colorado. The COM
pany has been working In a small way
for two or three years to perfect a
system for treating these ores. The
result has been that they have been
buying a great deal of zinc ore In this
state and have raised the price to the
producer OF this mineral about Sc a
ton. Although the cost of labor in Colo
RADIO is three times as great as in
tue OptldtiOu VI si0 6AhS PheAAAs =
in Pueblo incorporated as the United
States Zinc Company and originated
by the Guggenheims, has sent up the
price of these ores and stimulated
their production to what promises to
be magnificent scale.
Eight times as many men are
required to handle zinc ores as is
necessary to properly treat the same
,,tv to- Mt
action of the company was recently
taken by its board of directors who
have under way plans for the greater
development of the zinc industry OF
Colorado. 1t is probable that zinc
smelter will be established in Denver
to encourage the production OF the
northern Clear Creek district ores.
which. with the increased price of
zinc, can be successfully handled.
1t is said that the increased market
for zinc ores will stimulate activity
in a score OF mining camps in the
state and have an immediate effect
upon employment of labor. The com.
pany is satisfied that the ores In
Leadville, the San Juan country and
various other sections of Colorado are
SO valuable for their zinc contents
that what was formerly such low
grade ore that 1t could not be treated
with profit to the miner will now be
produced in abundance to the benefit
Of all concerned. The innovation on
the part of the smelter company means
more for Colorado than any action that
has been taken in the development OF
its mining industry for many years. A
vast sum of money will be spent in
the development CT the zinc industry
and Colorado will become the central
supply point Of the world for this metal.
