and employees Of the new commission,
were in lansing recently and talked
with members of the state tar commits

Secretary George Lord, OF the state
commission. is OF the impression that
the railroads are gathering data 10
present to the next legislature, in an
effort TO show that general property
assessments throughout the state are
low as compared with the railroads,
and. that they will ask for an eoaliza-
tion and a lower rate for the roads.
The theory is also advanced by others
that the railroads OF the state are pre-
pairing data for a fight in the courts
with the state
just how many members form the
commission is not known, but that the
railroads are bearing the expense Is
known.

The Duluth board OF education has
very sensibly barred dancing and other
forms OF social gatherings In the school
buildings OF that city. The school
board OF Crystal Falls could well take
a leaf from the Duluth board 8 note
book. Not that we are opposed 10
dancing nor 10 the other forms OF in
nocent Focial gatherings but such at I.
fairs under the auspices or with the
sanction OF the school authorities Is
disrapting to the pupils school work
and an imposition upon the parents Of
the pupils, some Of whom do not care
20 have their children attend the func.
lions but are kept from carrying ont
their wishes because they do not wish
their children pointed at rs exceptions.
Frivolity Is more and more in evi.
dence in the public schools of the day
The ground work for building up
clear, studious mind in the pupil is
constantly narrowed up by the many
seducing influences that are thrown
about him to stife his ambition and
obscure his mind. Pupils are furnish
ed with social functions enough in the
common run Of their every day life 10

OSBORN IN THE LEAD.

A poll Of the newspapers Of the state
was recently made on the goyernorship
by Editor Nimmo OF the Detroit Sat-
urday Night. In last weeks issue Mr..
Nimmo published the result of his poll.
There were 700 inquiries sent out
and 262 replies were received on the
governorship OF that number i43
were for Osborn, 80 for Kelley and 81
for Musselman. These inquiries were
not as TO the personal preference OF the
editor alone but as to the sentiment Of
the electors in the legislative district
in which the editor lived and on that
score Osborn was away ahead.
This poll may not be conclusive but
IL goes long way towards pointing to
Mr.. Osborn selection The campaign
that Mr.. Osborn is making In the low.

OSBORN ON TAXATION
Expresses Himself Clearly on the subIec, OF
Taxing Mining Property

When in Owosso recently Chase s
Osborn expressed himself very clearl,
on the subject of adequate taxation fol
the upper peninsula mining properties
advocating the formation Of a commits
sion which would have power and abil
ity to put the mine on an equitable
basis with the rest OF the state. Fur
thermore, he pledged himself. IL elect
ed governor, 10 do all in his power e
bring sucn commission into being.
While sincerely believe. said
Mr.. Osborn. "tnat many Of those who
are discussing the question Of taxation.
especially with reference to increasing
the mine values and taxatiou on them
are earnest in their opinions. that pri
marily the question has been raised by
those who are interested in creating
sectional feeling between different
parts OF the state for political effect.
There Is not an honest citizen who
does not believe In the adequate taxa
ton OF all the property Of the state,
regardless Of where it is situated or
what It is
The proposition to make revision
OF values is not new one. This is
provided for under the law. The re.
valuation Of all property is made man
datory under the law every i've years,
and new valuation under this pro.
vision will be made next year, and
would have been made whether the
question had been made an issue OF
this campaign or not.
II earnestly desire to state that the
mines aud other properties OF the up.
per peninsula should pay their Just
share Of taxation, as well as other pro.
perty Of the state. The mining regions
OF the upper peninsula are 200 miles
from my residence and the section in
which live is under no more mining
Influence or domination than Wayne
county or Shiawsssee county. II this
question OF taxation. which is az old
a. society is raised az an issue for the
purpose OF obsUuring more important
questions then 10 IL unworthy TO be
given first place in the minds OF the
people at this critical time A great
question OF this campaign. II seems to
me. is as TO whether the money as
raised by taxation shall be honestly
expended for efficient government or
the state funds shall be- vast

Wall Street Rumors Without Foundation

Have Bad effect
The adjustment of the iron industry
continues Competition for business
is still keen and causes some irregular
ity in prices. The trade. too, is dis
turbed by Wall street rumors that have
little substance. Last week more Of
.he independent steel companies made
concessions on steel bars resulting in
some increase in business. Some large
orders for steel pipe were placed with
independent mills in the central west
including rs miles for Texas delivery
and 35 miles for the Ohio Fuel Co.
Full returns of the operations Of the
American Steel & Wire Co for July
show that orders for wire products ag-
gregated 1000 tons per day and speci-
tications 4, 500 tons daily. making last
months business the heaviest July in
the history of the company. The trst
week in August was equally satisfac-
tory.
New business in most other lines OF
finished products was relatively light.
Orders for rails were insignificant
The books of the rail mills have not
yet been opened for 1911. but tine mills
contemplate asking an advance for
heavy sections. although Wall street
reported probable reduction of 81. 80

advanced light sections 81 per ton.
