Sixth District Democrats Will
Gather in Big Meeting at
Greenfield Tomorrow Night
To Pay Homage to Leader.
THE REV. T. H. KUHN
is ON THE PROGRAM.
Other GubernatoriaI Candi-
dates Will Also Be Present
And a Big Whoorah Is Ex-
pected to Result.

Many Richmond and Wayne county
day night when the fellow townsmen
of Stokes Jackson, will give d banquet
there in honor of his election as Dem
ocratic state chairman. Many invita-
tions have been issued by Representa-
tive Harry Strickland, who expects to
become a candidate for Speaker of the
next Indiana House. All of the candi-
dates for governor and other places on
the state ticket, members of the COM
mittee and other party warriors have
been asked to join with Greenfield in
paying tribute to the new leader. The
Rev. T. n. Kuhn of this city will be
one of the several gubernatorial as
pirants to dip his hand in the political
finger bowl The topic of his speech
has not yet been announced.
Jackson proposes TO make it very
evident at the banquet that he is not
controlled by Thomas Taggart or any
one else in the Democratic party, but
that it will be his mission to bring
about harmony and serve all factions
neighbors at Greenfield say that if
Taggart or any one else figures that
he can lead Jackson around and com
pei him to come through on any
proposition desired he will find that
he is dealing with the wrong man.
They assert that Jackson is independ-
ent of Taggart, and that he will devote
all his energy to the election of good
tickets everywhere.
They insist also that Jackson will
give the affairs of the committee all
the attention they require, and that
no one will have occasion to say he
has not received a square deal. They
declare, too, that there is no more
enthusiastic Bryanite in Indiana than
Jackson, and that the peerless one"
need have no fear now that his inter
ests will not be guarded.
Jackson has claimed the distinction
OF being the original Bryan man in In
diana, and he asserts that he never
wavered in his loyalty to him. even
though he was a delegate to the con-
vention that nominated Judge Parker.

President Mitchell to Retire

miners ever held. 1t will mark the re-

Enough boulders to complete the

KIND WORDS FOR Mr.. KING.

The Gratiot County Herald last week
used the entire item relative TO Mr..
Francis King as published in the Rec
ord of the week before and in addition
thereto said The Herald most heartily
endorses the above. Not one of the
candidates is better fitted by education,
business training and acquaintance
with men of national influence as in
Mr.. King Grstiot County has not
had delegate to the National Conven-
tion in many years and would seem to
be entitled to the honor at this time
A strong delegation will be on hand at
Reed City to urge the election of Ora.
tots candidate and the prospect of his
being one of the delegates seems very
bright. -
The Big Rapids Pioneer of recent
date in speaking of the Reed City con-
vention said: The most prominent
candidates for the honor are ex-Judge
Michael Brown of this city. H. S. Hull
of Traverse City. and Francis King, of
st. Louis. At one time things looked
very favorable to the candidacy of Mr..
Brown, but they now seem to be shap-
ing themselves in favor of north and
south candidates Mr.. Hull and Mr..
King Both these gentlemen, besides
being influential and having a wide
acquaintance, are among the wealthiest
republicans in the district -
The st. Louis Republican, of last
week published Mr. Kings picture and
said among other things "A staunch
republican. in the prime of life. always
ready and willing to contribute not
only financially but otherwise to the
success of the republican party the
citizens of Alma and Gratiot county
will take pride in presenting to the
members of Reed City convention the
name of Francis King as one of the
two district delegates to the Republi-
can National Convention to be held in
Chicago next June. +"

In the best interest of the state. as this

One of the guiding principles to be

pay any community TO tax one OF its

Ii Is much better to have timber land

them SO numbered as to lose practically
all of their value. The heavy tax ad-
vocated in Maine, for example. will
probably, if carried through, drive a
great deal of capital out of the state
This capital is now invested in stand
ing timber. AT present the owners
have shown that they wish to cut con-
servatively. protect their holdings
against fire and plan for growing as
heavy future crops as possible on the
same land But tax of 9 per cent a
year on young timber, they say, sets a
premium on its destruction A power

duce the value of his property by cut

true. it will not help the citizens of
Maine in the long run to tax heavily
for short time property which can
and will quickly get away, leaving
only waste behind
1t is the old fable of the goose and
the golden egg over again. The for
ests are a valuable asset to the state
of Maine. not only for the timber
they grow, but also for the support
they give to other industries and the
money they bring in through the ex-

of the state and throw a heavier bur-
den on the very persons who are hop

making the wild lands pay more.
The farmer who is discontented be-
cause woodlands are assessed so low
should remember that he does not
himself pay taxes on standing crops,
that half a loaf is better than no
bread, and that it is better for man
to look before he leaps than to find too
late he has landed in hole.
