: Governor Warmers recent reference
to the fact that nine out of ten of all the
agricultural counties of Michigan will
pay smaller proportion of state tar
under the new state equalization than
they have been paying during the past
five years, is brief but complete dis
posal of democrat discussion in that di'
rection. 1t is also a very interesting
bit of information. especially for the
taxpayers of the nine out ten agricul-
tural counties.

Now is a good time for the council to
order voting machines for the fall cleo
ton. Sooner or later these machines
will be in general use and Owosso
might as well have them as to wait
until some future date when their use
in so many other places will almost
compel the city officers to purchase
them. If an order is given at once one
of the machines could be set up in the
council room or some other convenient
place and all voters could familiarize
themselves with its use. Let's be up to
date and have the machines. Will the
council order them?

Oregon, Vermont and Maine. the
only states which elect congressman be-
fore November, have chosen solidly re-
publican delegations and have not given
the democrats even the slightest hope
that they may be able to control the
next house. The people are satisfied
with present conditions and do not in
tend taking any chances on change of
any kind. The next house will be re-
publican, will re-elect Speaker Cannon
and will pass measures in keeping with
the wishes of the masses, thus strength
enipg the party for the big battle of

Mayor Parkill did the right thing in
vetoing the proposition to pay for high
way work in the third ward from any
fund but the road fund of that ward.
The road around the cemetery is as
much part of the third ward as any
road in the ward. Make this the rule
and follow it in each case.

The November apportionment of pri-
mary school money will give to the
Owosso Union district the snug sum of
$27, 10 within $500 of enough to pay
the entire expense for teachers for the
year. When the apportionment is made
in May at least $4,000 will be added to
the amount, which will leave a snug
sum in the treasury to go for teachers
salaries for next year. This justifies
the reduction of the budget at the an
nual school meeting and shows that not
dollar need have been raised for salar-
les

Speaker Cannon says that in his can
vass in Maine the workingmen gave a
round of applause at each mention of
the Dingley law.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-09-14

Speaker Cannon evidently knew what
he Yves talking about when he said to
the convention that nominated him
that the speech he made that day would
be the only one he should make in his
district during the campaign. Recog-
MIXING the fact that he could not be
beaten the democrats did not make a
nomination. In the Cleveland, Ohio,
district the democrats conceded that
Cong. Burton would easily win and ad-
journed the convention without naming
candidate. Many democrats in this
district believe that Cong. Fordney
should BIO given clear field.

President Roosevelt's recent spelling
order does not seem so serious matter
when il is understood that of the 800
words recommended for immediate
adoption 1853 are already in preferred
use in the government printing Office,
40 of the others in this list are not pre-
ferred in Webster's dictionary but are
used in the government printing office.

The amount of money already re-
ceived from the railroads Of Michigan
this year IS almost equal to the amount
required to meet all state expenditures,
and some of the smaller railroads of the
state have not yet paid their taxes.
And this pleasing situation, pleasing to
the taxpayers of the state. at least, has
como about under state administra-
tion that the democrat campaign noise
makers of two years ago said would
favor the railroads rather than the peo-
pie Of Michigan. 1t is noticeable, how
ever, that those who were most promi-
nent in making such statements two
years ago are observing the strictest
sort OF silence at this time.

tinguished father-said: Tell the

Gen. Grant does not drink drop. of
liquor-has not for eighteen years, be-
cause he is afraid to drink it. tried to
drink it with extreme moderation, be-
cause know that alcohol is the worst
poison that man can take into his
system, but found it was an impossi-
bility to drink it moderately. Because
moderate drinking is an impossibility l

please. will not allow it even in my

follows: "a few days ago in primary

our candidate for congress the Hon.
