WILL NOT SERVE

Frank A. Wheeler has en-
phatically declined to serve as
representative from South Haven
on the "IndependentCounty Com
mittee' to which he was elected
at the mass meeting at Hartford
last Tuesday. Mr.. Wheeler says
that his election was without his
knowledge or consent, as he was
not present at the mass meeting,
and knew nothing of his appoint
ment on the committee until af-
ter the mass-meeting. He was a
delegate to the republican county
convention here last May, and
although an earnest supporter
of Mr.. Myers in that convention,
intends to support the ticket as
put in the field at that time

gentleman. Those who know
him best know his worth and
how well he merits the honor.

II not only continues to be
true that more jobs are hunting
for men than there are men who
are willing to accept them, but
wages too, appear to be quite
as active in the right direction.
1t is stated that, while the total
number of wage earners IN the
United States has increased 16
per cent since 1900, the aggre-
gate amount of money paid in
wages has increased 30 per cent
during the same time. Wages,
therefore, seem to be several
laps ahead of jobs at this stage
of their pleasing mutual pro-
preSS.

state tax assigned to this county
under the valuation of 1901 was
.01012, while under the new val
uation it is .00979. The state tax
apportioned to this county in
1905 was the sum of 500, ga. q.
Had the apportionment been
made on the basis Of the new val
uation, the state tax for that
year would have been about
81, 900 less, so that while the
county, in the estimation of the
state board has increased in value
in the sum of $1,000, 900 during
the past five years, it does not
possess quite the same relative
portion of the wealth of the state
that it did FIVE years ago. This
is accounted for by the rapid in
crease Of the large cities and is
likely to be still more marked in
future valuations. The entire
showing is one that should be
particularly gratifying to all the
people of the state.

The state board of equaliza-
ton. which finished its business
last Tuesday, has completed one
of the most difficult tasks which
falls to the elective state officers
comprising that board That
they have been ultimately fair
all should concede. This board
meets once in five years, and its
business is to equalize the valua-
ton of the several counties of
the state to determine the amount
of state tax which each county
shall pay. The state is growing
fast in wealth, some localities
faster than others, and this nee
essitates an equalization at stated
times to determine the ratio Of
the county valuation to the state
valuation. The wealth of upper
peninsula counties such as On
tonagon, Houghton, Iron and Co
gebic, with no interests outside
their iron and copper mines, is
hard to determine. 1t seems as
though a specific tax on their
output would be preferable to
determining approximately the
cash value of such properties,
where their values are mainly
prospective and dependent on
the stock market. Especially
true is this Of the copper mines.
Wayne county has received a
big boost by the board, and
rightly it should, determined by
the valuation assessed by its
board of supervisors, although
it's representative claims it is
assessed at 10l per cent. The
task of the state board OF equal
ization is a thankless one and no
locality will be convinced but
that it has been presented with
more than it's share. However,
the increased valuation of a coun-
ty does not materially affect the
amount of taxes it pays, if the
increased valuation of the state
is spread proportionately among
the several counties. As a gen
ial Irish statesman remarked,
because it makes no difference
is the excuse for doing it.

DIVORCE CONGRESS.
In Session at Philadelphia Discusses
Uniform Law.

Philadelphia.-The National Con-
gress on Uniform Divorce Laws in
session in this city Tuesday adopted
about one-third of the proposed uni
form bill as drafted by the commit
tees appointed at the meeting held in
Washington nine months ago.
The portions adopted include seven
causes under which annullment of mar
riages may be obtained and six causes
for absolute divorce. They are infidel-
ity, felony, bigamy, desertion, habitual
drunkenness and intolerable cruelty.
Delegates from twenty-seven states
and the district of Columbia and repre-
sentatives of all Protestant denomina-
tions, who attended the international
conference on marriage, together with
Catholic prelate, Bishop Stanley of
North Dakota, attended the sessions.
which were presided over by Governor
Pennypacker.
The important changes In the bill
are the striking out of all references
to proceedings and practice, leaving
the questions for the various legisla-
tive bodies to pass upon. The commit
tee decided that so long as open hear
ings are held and the laws provide
for direct service on the respondent
and fix a punishment for collusion, the
measure need not conform to any
fixed rule. The causes for which di-
vorce can be granted are infidelity,
felony, bigamy, desertion, habitual
drunkenness and intolerable cruelty,
and in the discussion of the various sec.
tions there was little opposition to any
OF these provisions, but in the list OF
causes for annuliment of marriage, op'
position was presented against several.

Louisville, Ky.-A plan for con
crete maritime highway across the
Isthmus of Panama, to be used as a
substitute for the ditch as at present
projected, has been submitted to Pres
ident Roosevelt by Col. Alexander
Hcgeland, known throughout the
United States as the father of the
curfew."
The plan, which has been the sub
ject of correspondence between the
President and the engineering depart
ment and Colonel Hugeland, is now in
the hands of the canal commission.
1t contemplates the building of
concrete highway at the bottom thirty
feet above sea level, and which will re-
sembel a viaduct in passing the low
portions Of the isthmus.
The advantages claimed for 1t are
that it will allow the rivers to be
passed under it, thereby obviating the
dangers resulting from freshets; doing
away with the necessity of impounding
a vast quantity of water from the
Chagres and other rivers in the arti'
fetal lake by the Gatuu dam, and fin
alling avoiding the necessity of an inn
mense annual expense for dredging
ard keeping the canal clear and espe'
cially where it passes through the arti'
