No, Not as a Rule.

George P. Angel, Boston's brilliant
and powerful defender of animals from
cruelty, was talking about nature
taking.
my friend, Will Long is no nature
faker," he said, "but admit that many
of our myriad nature writer's are.
These mems idea of lie seems too
closely to resemble that of a little boy
I know.
"The boys teacher said from her
desk one afternoon:
az want every pupil who has never
told lie to hold up his hand"
There was doubtful pause. Two
or three hands were raised. Then my
little friend piped out:
Teacher, Is it lie II nobody finds

Commission Asks Decision.

Attorney General Bird has been
called upon by the state tax COM
mission to decide whether, under the
Companies may make complaint of un-
equal assessments and secure a re-
view of the tax rolls in the townships
through which roads represented by
them may run. The question becomes
important in view of the provision of
the law that only resident taxpay-
ers" may complain of assessments.
The attorney general may hold that
this provision of the law which is a
part of the Galbraith act partially
knocked out by the supreme court Is
not constitutional, as it does not give
all taxpayers the equal benefit of the
laws of the state. The state tax COM
mission asserts that the law certainly
discriminates in most unjust manner
against non-residents. The Grand
Rapids, Grand Haven & Muskegon
Electric Railway company is one of
the compliments against assessments
in several townships. The Detroit,
Jackson & Chicago Interurban com
pany complains of an over-assessment
in Ypsilanti, and the Niles, South
Bend & st. Joseph Interurban com
pany also has grievances. Henry
Richardi, wealthy taxpayer in For.
est Home township Antrim county
has filed complaint and has asked
for review of the assessments in the
entire township, which includes a por
ton of the village Or Bellaire.

State Legislative Candidates.

Hon. John F. Crotty has decided
to become a candidate for the state
legislature to succeed Stanley d. Mont
gomery. He will be a candidate on
the Democratic ticket. In all proba-
bility the convention will be called
shortly and as there is no opposition
to the nomination of Mr.. Crotty his
selection will probably follow as a
matter of course. II seems to be
conceded that Alex Cohen will be the
Republican nominee. although nothing
Is assured until the convention meets.

Binder Irvine Project.

There is remote possibility that
the supreme court may not sustain
it," said Thomas ]. Navin, of Detroit,
a member of the prison board of con-
troll, speaking of the bill passed by the
last legislature appropriating money
for the establishing of binder Irvine
plant at the prison. A meeting of
the board was held at the prison to
discuss the matter, and Gov. Warner
and Atty. Gen. Bird were present.
Even Mr.. Bird thought the statute
would be sustained. At least six
months are required to secure the
machinery, and unless prompt action
is taken the state will not be in a
position to sell any Irvine next year.
If the law Is held by the supreme
court to be good, there is yet time to
get the plant in operation, but imme-
date action is necessary, as the Irvine
has to be delivered early in the spring.
