To BUY
QUARRY
IS RECOMMENDATION
OF COMMITTEE OF
THE CLUB
Would Purchase Seventeen
Acres in Neighborhood
of Dixie.

Recommending the purchase sf II
and a fraction acres OF land from G.
w. Dickson, near Dixie. for 1925 an
acre to be used for rock quarry pur-
poses, the report of the committee
from the CONNIE rcial club was read at
the luncheon this afternoon in the
Dacres hotel and was adopted. 1t was
shown in the report that land might be
secured near Waitsburg without
charge. but members of the committee
argued the cost of transportation
would in a short time more than make
up for the difference of the cost of the
property.
An opinion has been secured upon
the land of Mr.. Dickson until Septem-
Der 8, and it is desired action be taken
prior to the expiration of that option.
The state has accepted the location,
and the machinery issready for ship
ment. The committee recommended
that the county commissioners either
buy the tract from Mr. Dickson or lease
1T for long term of years. and cited
the action of North Yakima citizens
who paid $500 for a site in suitable
location. Members of the club were
asked to wait upon the county commits

matter in the proper light

Gov. Hadley, we notice, is seeking
suggestions from other states as to
new nick name for Missouri and
Mlssourians Missouri is known as

able to make good the claim at all
times. Missourians are designated
,'Pukes" and this also seems to be
exceedingly appropriate so long as
she has a republican governor and
especially one from Kansas. When
Missouri wants a change of name
she will make it herself and and no
outsider need apply Moberly Dem

ANENT THE TONNAGE TAX.
Hope is Expressed That State Grange
Won't Agitate the Matter.

Unusual interest will be displayed
by the politicians in the meeting NJ
the state grange at Traverse City next
month, because of the possibility that
that body will renew it's efforts TO
push legislation providing for q tom
mage tax on ore mined in this state,
says the Lansing Republican. OF re-
cent years the politicians have lost,
somewhat. their anxiety relative 20
the position the grange would assume
on various state questions making the
claim that the members individually
do not support heartily the propa-
ganda which is endorsed in the reso-
buttons adopted at these annual meet
ings. Ways have been found by the
political strategists to present the
grangers from heartily supporting the
planks of their platform relative to
state affairs, and there has been m
existence a quiet contempt for the or
ganization as a political factor in the
state.
This year, however, while perhaps
various questions. there are politicians
who are hoping that that organization
will not take up the tonnage tax ques-
ton, and there will undoubtedly be
an effort inside the grange to prevent
any action reaffirming the position of
the state body on that question. These
politicians do not want that question
as an issue in the next campaign and
are DESTROYS of avaiding all agitation
of the subject IL possible. Their rea-
son for this opinion is based on their
knowledge of the feeling existing IN
the upper peninsula regarding the
matter and with the possibility OF the
liquor question, getting into the cam
paign as well as the tonnage tax ques-
ton there is numerous body of man
ipulators of political campaigns. wac
are exceedingly worried and nervous
regarding the contest i'm this state
next year.
