PROMINENT SPEAKERS
TO Be PRESENT
An Opportunity for the PEOPLE of
Gratiot County to Hear the Most
Important Phases of this Vital
Subject Fully Explained.

Twenty-Five years ago there was in
augurated at Hillsdale movement
which looked forward to the preserva-
ton of the forests of Michigan. Like
many another great movement it had a
small beginning. Its author saw the
vast forests of pine and hardwood rap
idly disappearing before the lumber
mans axe. And while the southern
portion of the state was rapidly becon-
ing rich agricultural district, no such
hopes could be entertained for the north
ern half, with its extensive sand plains
and infertile soil. But the author was
speaking especially to the farmers of the
southern district and he made plea for
the preservation of the woodlot Time
and again this warnings was repeated,
and to.the force of his arguments we
must attribute in large measure the
considerable extent of woodland lying
south of the Saginaw Grand valley.
When this first address was made the
region to the north was an almost un-
broken wilderness of pine. Yet in what
seems to be an almost incredibly short
space of time, this forest was invaded by
ax-men and literally slaughtered Fire
followed the lumberman and today only
the blackened stumps and barren wastes
of jack pine and scrub. hard woods re-
main to tell of the former magnificence
of the forest
The champion of the forest who made
the first speech at Hillsdale, and who
has since made hundreds of addresses to
the same end, is Mr.. Charles w. Gar
field of Grand Rapids. From its begin
ming, Mr.. Garfield has been the head of
the Michigan Forestry Commission, and
to his activity must be ascribed the
widespread interest in forestry matters.
a second member of this commission
is the Hon. Arthur Hill of Saginaw.
His influence has aided in the drafting
and successful issue of the recent steps
taken by the state toward the framing
of better forestry laws and the establish
ment of forestry reserve.
1t was an auspicious day in the his
tory of Michigan forestry when in 1908
the regents of the University of Michi- |
gan brought to the state Mr.. Filibert |
Roth TO be the head of the school of |
forestry. Prof. Roth had the advantage
of having spent his early days in the
woods of Wisconsin. He received his |
training in this country and the great
forest schools of Europe. Before COM
ing to Michigan he was an assistant
professor at Cornell University and was
in charge of all.the forest reserves of the /
United States government. His breadth |
of view and capacity for handling large
forest propositions may be judged by the
success with which he managed the |
sixty million acres of land then under |
his control. Prof. Roth is now our state
forest warden.
The residents of Gratiot county are |
soon to have the opportunity of hearing
these three men speak in behalf of the
Michigan Forestry Association. A
meeting will be held at the Presbyterian
church, Alma. on next Tuesday evening
at s o'clock. There will be no charge
for admission.
Following is the program:

Nobody, of course, wants the railroads
to pay more than their equitable share
of the taxes-nor less. The popular
feeling is that they are much more likely
under any circumstances to pay less,
than more. And so. any proportion of
taxes needs especially to be supported
with facts and reasons so clear and con-
vincing as to be appreciated by any fair
mind. The intricate theories and
abstruse calculations upon which the
present result is reached fall far short
of that; and when the Michigan Central.
for instance, is listed at thirty-one mil
lions, while its earnings measure up to
a valuation of sixty-three millions, and
its stock and bonds have market value
of sixty-five millions, and its physical
property was listed for the state in the
costly investigations of Professor Cooley
at even more than that, we are COM
PEELED still to respond in Modern Ameri-
can phrase. You'll have to show mel

EARNINGS AND VALUE
OF MICHIGAN CENTRAL
Timely Review of Other Important
State Happenings and Movements
of the Past Week.

The state tax commission has an
nounced the result of its assessment of
railroad properties and their equalizs-
ton with the general property of the
state, as provided by the Galbraith law;
and it is safe to say that no recent event
has given rise to an equal amount of
discussion. The commission increased
the assessment of the corporate prop
dollars above last years assessment; but
in the equalization they added to the
assessed valuation of other property
about three hundred millions, so that the
increase of ten millions was in effect a
decrease, and the taxes that would be
levied upon the railroads under this
rating are more than three thousand
dollars below what they would be if
computed under the old law. The COM
missioners defend their action as pains
taking effort to reach an equitable dis
tribution based upon the boards
laborious Investigations by its own
agents throughout the state for several
years past, to ascertain the average
ratio of assessments to values. and they
insist their conclusions are conserva-
tive. Officers in the other departments
of the state government, however,
radically dispute the correctness of the
boards theories and the equity of its
conclusions; and Attorney General Bird
has already filed in the supreme court
his petition for an order UPON the board
to meet his contention that the law
under which they acted is unconstitu-
tional, which he has all along main
tained. 1t is hoped the case may be
argued within three weeks. Meantime
the commissioners meet as a board of
review, January 20, for hearings in con-
test of any features of the assessment.
which under the law must be completed |
by February 10. 1t is possible that by
that time the law may have been
invalidated, and the commission required |
to reconvene and proceed under the law
as it was before.

There are a number of powerful influences at work to bring Arizona around" said Major Llewellyn. "In the first place, there are the Spanish. speaking people in Arizona who are for the idea to man; then there are the Mormons, who are every last one of them for statehood; and the gam. blers. who are afraid that if Arizona continues to be d territory, congress will pass some sort of an antigamb- ling law. To these might be added the beer and liquor interests that are apprehensive of prohibition being showed down their throats."
 So. on the word of a prominent and reputable advocate of joint statehood, the only friends of the project in Ari- sDna are the Spanish-speaking peo. pie, an insignificant proportion of the populations; the Mormons, who mum. Der only a few hundreds at most; the vhan they are influential and the li- qsor dealers, who are always polite to the stranger, whether he halls from New Mexico or New York. This pilgrim from New Mexico was unfor- tunate in his cho.ce of company dur ing his sojourn in Arizona. Appar. ently he did not mingle with the trans. planted citizens from all parts of the union, who constitute an overwhelm- ing majority of the population of Ari. zona. If he had tried to indicate the almost unanimous opposition to joint statehood, he could not have present ed a more convincing statement. The inference to be drawn from his re- marks is that. with the exception of a few interested classes. numerically small, the people of Arizona intend to reject the statehood proposition Undoubtedly this is a correct estimate of the attitude of the people of Ari- zona. They are not misled in the least by the joint statehood proposal. They know that in due time they will be entitled to enter the union as a separate state, and they have made it plain that they intend to maintain their rights.

The letter of President Roosevelt to Dr. Rodgers, of Tucson, contains notE ing new to the people of Arizona. The people here have known for several years that the president had joined in with the leaders of his party in congress to get rid of the territories by doubling them up two and two into single state. Not only have the people of Arizona been aware of this desire of the president ever since Beveridge proposed to make one state of New Mexico and Arizona combined, but the entire country has known of it. The president made this arrange ment in his last message to congress, but after the subject had been dis cussed the country over by the press it became apparent to congress that public sentiment was almost unani- mously against forcing Arizona into joint statehood against the will of her people. The only wonder about the letter of the president made pub- lie in Tucson is that Roosevelt should seek to further advertise his opinion concerning joint statehood for Ari- zona by the means adopted. Arizona knew the president was in favor of joint statehood when her people pro tested against it through every repre- sentative body in the territory and certainly our people will not be chang ed now in their determination against joint statehood because of a reitera- tion of the position of the president. Arizona people have spoken on the question of joint statehood and what she has spoken will be ratified at the polls in November.

REPREHENSiBLE "BUTTiNG iN."
(Los Angeles Herald )

(LoS Angeles Herald.D
 In response to President Roosevelt's advice the people of Arizona are like ly to say. sotto voce, that they are capable of doing their own thinking. If there is any subject on which they are pre-eminently competent to think correctly it is the one concerning which the president tenders his un- solicited advice. They have pondered that subject some dozens of years, and they ought to be as thoroughly ac- quainted with every phase of it as is their self-constituted adviser.
 In face of the persistent opposition of the Arizona people to statehood jointure with New Mexico the presi- dent enters the pending campaign on that issue by giving his influence in favor of joint statehood. Next fall the voters will decide, on behalf of the two territories, whether they wish to be admitted to the union as a sin gle state in the manner of the recent admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. The president says, and he surely has the means of judging correctly. q believe the people of New Mexico have abandoned an atti- tude which forbade their assuming the great privileges and responsibilities of full American citizenship" That ;e, tSx ie to vote for jointure, and now all de- pends on Arizona.
 The presidents plea for joint state hood votes in Arizona would be cred itable to any Arizona politician eager for job at the proposed twin capital but such electioneering practice seems sumption that the people of Arizona require instructions concerning mat ter with which even the kindergart- ners probably are acquainted.
 But the presidents purpose to pro mote the linking of the territories will fail. Arizona will adhere to its deter imitation to avoid the yoke with New Mexico and for the best of reasons. For instance, the population of Ari- zona, according to the estima,,e of it's governor at the beginning of the pres ent year, is 175,000. New Mexico's population, according to like author ity, is 325,000. Evidently, therefore Arizona would be relatively tail for the New Mexico kite in case of union in state government.
 Arizonians are capable of doing their own thinking and their own yot- ing.
