1t will be seen that the tax commission
recommended an increase in the property val
uations for all the upper peninsula counties
except four, namely, Houghton, Menominee,
OntOnagon and Schoolcraft. Houghton has been
vigorously protesting under its burden of taxi
ton ever since 1901, asserting that its equaii-
zstion value of $14O, 900 900 that year was mani
testify unfatc. There Is at present Houghton
county member of the state board, and as a
result the situation in Houghton county has
been attenttvely looked into. The recommended
ton of cut Of approximately 5000 900 is
the result. The cuts for Menominee, Ontonagon
nnd Schoolcraft counties are doubtless made
because Of the decline in the numbering in
dustry.
If the tax commissions recommendations
We're to be accepted without change, the above
tables show that Marquette county would be
increased over 100000 over the valuation
at which It was equalized five years ago.
Possibly the heaviest increase, in proper
tion to the entire value, was that recon-
mended for Keweenaw, where the increase is
over 100 per cent. This reflects the activity
in quest of mercantile copper deposits in that
county by the Calumet & Hecla and Keweenaw
Copper companies.
In the above figures only the tax commits
sion's recommendations are presented.

INTERNATIONAL DEADLOCK.

It Is evident that there is little, IL
any, disposition of the part of Germany
to ARRIVE al friendly understanding
with France as to the questions under
discussion al Algeciras. Difficulties are
invented at every new proposition
Neither France nor Germany show any
disposition to yield anything. They are
very much in the position OF the two
goats that met on a narrow bridge
where It was impossible TO turn back
Unless one OF them has the sense to
lay down and permit the other to walk
over. the deadlock will have to be brok-
en- by force.
Ambassador Won Sternberg has ex-
planned Germany's contention. His
country he says. stands for "the open
door" IN Morocco, only, his govern
ment cannot permit France and Spain
to perform the task OF police duty In
the country, since that would mean
French preponderating influence. Ger
many would delegate the police bust

Of Influence for Germany, in an indirect
way II Is difficult to accept the ex-
PLANTATION as sincere. II sounds more
like an effort 10 conceal the real pur-
poses Of the German government, than
to reveal them. Eventually, It will, no
doubt, turn out that Germany Is play
ing for some bigger stakes than Moroc-
Of Morocco They are rather in the
direction entirely different from that
of Morocco II IL interested in the
Balkan affairs, and IN the Turkish
situation. And II would not be surprls-
Ing to learn some time that the opera
bouffe at Algeciras was put up for the
purpose of distractlng public attention
from some schemes and plots laid in
another part of the world.
As far as can be judged, the powers
represented at Algeclras do not, gem
orally favor the German claims.
France. Great Britain and Spain have
been drawn closer together than ever.
Italy, Germany's ally, remains neutral
Austria signifies that her interest In
the Moroccan question Is so slight that
she cannot go to extremes The Gear

for peace; but has he any influence at
all In the council of nations? II only
remains for the American delegates to

NEW MEXICAN LAND LAW,

According to a report from Mexico.
President Daz Is considering land
law. which, II II becomes effective, will
be for the benefit OF the middle classes
OF the republic and for all bona-iide
settlers and actual home-builders. The
proposition is to adjust the taxation on
lana so that It shall be more profitable
for the owners Of large tracts 10 divide
them into smaller holdings that can
be- cultivated and made productive.
rather than TO keep the larger part Of
the estates idle.
The movement will, undoubtedly, be OF
great bcneht TO Mexico 1t will make
a number OF agriculturists independent
owners Of homes, and add materially
to national wealth, MS well as TO the
population. 1t can we'll be believed that
the contemplated reform is,as It's friends
claim. one Of the greatest ever UNDER
taken in the country.
Mexico has great future. Its devel-
opment has not kept pace with that OF
the United States, but It's turn seems
to have come and there II little doubt
that the advancement, 50 great under
the regime OF President Diaz, will con-
tinue with accelerated speed. Ameri-
can capital and enterprise are flowing In
on all sides. Mexico has room for many

THE POPE IN TROUBLE.

Reports from Rome are to tho eff
feet that the pope's health has be-
come affected by the troubles OF the
Catholic church In France, At first
he was said to look upon the situation
with resignation. but the recent turn
Of affairs seems TO have had a de-
pressing effect upon him, and 1t Is
against the advice OF his medical at
tendants that he Is at work forming
the rules and regulations The new con-
ditions seem to require,
The assembly last Sunday at the
Vatican is described as pathetic in
the extreme. The pope consecrated
nineteen new bishops to MI yacan-
Giles in French dioceses Many Of the
prelates, II Is said, shed tears when
they knelt down to receive the papal
blessing The pope compared the
separation of church and state as II
exists IN France under the provisions
OF the new law. and the prosperous
conditions Of the church in the United
States I'VE would have been sotis-
fed he added, IF the French legisla-
tors had provided the same conditions
for the church In France as those now
prevailing under the Constitution Of
the United States notwithstanding the
fact that they violated solemn treaty
entered into with the holy see In order
to separate church and state.
II can be readily believed that the
disaster that has come to the Catholics
In France, as result of rather
vindlctve Interpretation of the pro-
visions of the new law. has caused
sorrow throughout the Catholic world,
and especially at headquarters. The
events In France should be a reminder
10 all leaders Of men. or moulders Of
public opinion, that religious persecu-
tion Is entirely out OF harmony with
our age, Whatever excuse there may
have been for bgotry in former ages,
deprived of light, to resort to violence.
none exists today. To engage In any
act of persecution Is TO commit the un.
pardonablc offcnse OF SHINING against
the light that has been given to this
age and generation. 1t brings its own
consequences, and they are always Bit
ter as NORWOOD France should con.
slider the situation calmly, To separate
church and state is right and desirable,
But to outrage the sentiments VI the
people by Decorating their sanctu-
aries Is worthy only OF condemnation
