Concerning Next
Tuesdays Election.
Facts and Figures Relative ia
Bonding Proposition Now
Up for Consideration.

Baraga, Mich, June 9th, 1909.
Editor of L'Anse Sentinel,
L'Anse, Mich.
Dear SIR
beg space in this weeks SENTINEL
to set forth few facts in regard to
the bonding proposition for school
buildings in this district. The election
takes place June 18th, at the hour of
two o'clock and continues to s o'clock,
p. m.
All taxpayers in the district are elig-
IDLE to vote on the question women as
well as men; that means, that women
who own property in their own right
and pay taxes on the same haye the
same right to vote on this question as
male taxpayers.
We would advise the mothers Of Bar
aga school district to take an active in
terest in this question by attending the
meeting on June 18th, Tuesday next,
and use their influence in securing sue
cessful results in determining this ques-
ton.
Now let US figure awhile. We find
that it costs approximately three hun
dred and twenty-five dollars per schoo
year for rent, janitor, fuel, etc, ($325.)
in Primary No. 8. In primary No. 2,
for the same purpose, $l95. Total $500.
Five hundred dollars year for four
teen years means seven thousand dol
lars ($7, OOO for rent, fuel and janitors.
The interest on twenty-eight thous-
and dollars for fourteen years, at four
per cent, is eight thousand, four hum
dred dollars, ($s, 40O base of payment
81, 900 per year. We need twenty-five
thousand Of this sum for building
large enough to care for $50 to 500 chill
dren in Baraga. The interest on twen-
ty-five Thousand dollars for fourteen
year at four per cent is six thousand,
seven hundred and eighty dollars (base
of payment two thousand dollars q
Year,. You note, by extra rent, fuel
and janitor charges for the maintain
ence of Primary rooms No. 2 and 8,
outside of our regular school building,
amounts to the sum Of seven thousand
dollars in a period of fourteen years.
The interest on twenty-five thousand
dollars amounts to the sum of six
thousand, seven hundred and eighty
dollars, figured at the rate of four per
cent. So, you see, for the past three
years we have more than paid the in
terest on twenty-five thousand dollar
loan by being. compelled to fit up and
pay rent for rooms that should never
be used for school purposes.
We know from observation that rent
ing rooms in our town for school pur-
poses is bad policy, hence we resort to
the bonding remedy. We also wish to
state that should the proposition not
carry we must levy the four mill build
ing tax, which will be more burdensome
in every way than the bond issue.
We hope that we will not be COM
PEELED to resort to this last measure.
Taxpayers of Baraga school district;-
The question is before you-Shall we
advance or go backward? A vote yes
means advance; vote mo- means go
backward.
1t is up to you! Think well over it.
Do justice to the children of Barags
school district.
Respectfully,
JAMES MCMAHON.

or considerations.
 These withdrawals have on the other hand, entailed a heavy ex- pense upon the government and have resulted in annoyance, vexa- tions. hardship and actual loss to settler which cannot be reckoned.
 They have made good citizens doubtful of both the wisdom and justice of their government and re- sentful at what they rightfully con sidered a breach of faith and con tract.
 The lard withdrawals over which we have recently, had such furore were not cnly without war rant of law but were in the nature of an administrative fraud inas- much as theY were attempted and made under pretended color of statutes for purposes which the off, cers prorioting them must have known wire entirely foreign to the intent of the said statutes. And in case of the so-called "administra- tive site" withdrawals, in certain states, wee in violation of the plain prohibition of the law.
 ''I am in hopes we will soon reach time when it will not be fashionable for administrative off. cers to attempt to set said the law even temporarily, and when their claim that such tcts are in the pub lie interest will not be accepted without question and investigation. If the laws are inadequate in any particular they should be amended. It IS for the people of the country, through their representatives 10 say what the jaws shall be rather than for some bureaucratic individ- ual. temporarily in a position of power, to set himself up as being superior to the statutes. and as more keenly alive to the interests of the people and more interested in their behalf than they are them selves.

SURVEYING LAW UNPOPULAR
Congressman MOndell of Wyoming Tells Dry Farming Congress Federal Law Should be Supreme Takes For ester to Task.

h0n, r |. w. MOnuell, congressman from Wyoming and the author of the 320-acre homestead law. created a sensation by making an attack on Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot, that. while it did not mention the name of of the forester specifically. is perhaps the most severe arraign- ment of him and his policies yet given voice to.
 He charged the forester. among other things. with subverting the law in order to make the claim that he was defending the rights of the people and said he hoped the time would come when bureau heads would not find it fashionable to set aside the law even temporarily" Mir Mondell said
 "The spread of dry farming has brought about some changes in our land Legislation and will probably necessitate some further legislation in the future.
 Of late years we have witnessed in certain departments of the gov ernment service disposition to in- terpret laws not as they are written and intended but as the public off cials. temporarily charged with their administration. think they ought to have been written and ought to be interpreted. In some cases the views of administrative officers go even further than this. For instance. we have read in the report of recent secretary of the interior the very amazing state ment that in the administration of the public land laws the executive authorities have full discretion to pl vevent the acquisition of the public domain as provided by law if in their opinion such acquisition IS detrimental to the public well fare
 More recently we have heard from an ambitious bureau official the remarkable doctrine that the law is not absolute and should be modified by interpretation so as to accomplish what the official tenn porarily charged with the admins tration thinks it ought to accom- plish. In other words that the law is not what it seems to be but what some bureau chief conceives it ought to be.
 Quite recently the country has been stirred up over a controversy as to whether the secretary of the interior shall be allowed, and is expected. to administer the laws as they pertain to public lands accord ing to their letter and intent. and it has seemed at times that many well meaning people who do not understand the merits of the con troversy were inclined to the view that public officer who conceived it to be his duty to follow the law must necessarily be wrong.
 Praise for Taft.
 Fortunately we have chief executive who believes in the law. who has not lost sight of the fact that this is a government of law and who insists that under his ad- ministration the law shall be re- spected as consistently and persist ently as it shall be enforced.
 "As one whose official duties have necessitated fairly thorough knowledge of the conditions on the public domain 1 believe that l can say truthfully. and l feel it my duty to say, in the interest of respect and regard for the law, that the sweeping withdrawals of public
