Ten PER CENT INCREASE IN
PRICE OF SPRING SHOES
Cost Of Production is More and
Prices Have Been Raised by
Wholesalers.
DEALERS ALREADY NOTIFIED

An increase OF ten per cent on the
price OF spring shoes 10 the retailers
has been announced by the whole
salers. and In consequence the re-
tailers will have 20 advance their prices
just that much. The increase will
not become perceptible until the old
stocks are sold out but the increase
win be effective on the new spring
goods.
The action Of the National asso-
citation. Il is said, was taken because Of
the rise in the price Of hides. The
cost Of raw material has jumped from
10 10 "A per cent. all over the coun-
try. Calf skin, for instance has gone
up four cents a foot. Sundries also
cost more than they did formerly.
Local dealers are in no wise respon-
sible for the condition. II is due sole
~ TO an increased demand all over
the world and the scarcity OF leather.
Prices OF skins Of all sorts have In
creased very perceptibly.
when questioned as to the result
Of the recent tariff bill. in which
hides We're placed on the free list, one
dealer stated that If il had not been
for the fact that hides were placed
on the free list, the advance In the
price Of shoes would have been still
greater. The increase was bound TO
come, free hides or not, and is due
simply to the demand being in excess
OF the supply.
Practically the only leather affected
by the tariff is that suitable for soles.
This portion Of the shoe has increased
in cost only per cent. The advance
is due chiefly 20 the increased cost OF
the calf skin used for making the up
pers. Calf skin has always been on !
the free list, so the tarim has been a |
small factor in the matter Had not /
hides been placed on the free list, il /
is said that we would have more than /
a nfty-cent advance on shoes for the /
coming spring and summer.

TRAPPER SECURES THREE
WOLVES In KEWEENAW co.

George I.amerand, hunter, trappei
and fisherman. was I'm Calumet this
week from Lac la Belle where he
makes his headquarters. Mr.. Lamer-
and reports that he has so far this
winter succeeded i'm killing three
wolves. two OF which will be presented
for bounty i'm Keweenaw county soon
the bounty having already been paid
on one OF the wolves. The first wolf
was caught i'm trap early i'm tie
season, but the other two were killed
with rifle only few days ago.
Mr.. Lamerand reports that wolves
are quite plentiful in Keweenaw
county now and that they can be ire
quently heard at night He state
that indications point to the fact that
they are killing a number of er
there this winter. Frequently car
casses of deer are found in Kewee-
nav and the circumstances clearly in
dictate that they have been slain by
wolves.
1t is not long ago that wolves were
unheard Of, north of the Portage chan
mel. Keweenaw and the northern part
of Houghton county were free from
these pests. OF late years, however
the wolves appear to have increased
rapidly and there are now a very large
number Of them in this section.

WATtR METERS BENEFIT
CONSUMERS IN LAURIUM
Big Saving Results for the Will
age as Well as the lndi-
vidual User.
ARE TO BE In GENERAL USE

4 comparison OF the records i'm the
Village OF Laurium shows that since
the installation of Trident water me-
ters throughout the village was COM
menced, the monthly bills have shown
a marked decrease. That the installa-
ton OF meters throughout the entire
town win be the best solution to the
problem confronting the village is now
generally conceded. The bill for De-
cember, which has just been paid. was
the smallest the village has had for
some time, but the January bill will be
even smaller as the last reading Of
the meters developed the fact that the
water consumed i'm LauriuIn was about
700 gallons less in January than In De-
cember.
When the meters were first installed,
the water problem was n perplexing
one. The receipts from water taxes
were not sufficient to meet the bills
and each month appropriations had to
be made from the general fund Now,
however. the situation is different, and
although the rates to consumers on a
meter basis have been reduced. the re-
ceipts from the water taxes almost
equal the cost Of the water. 1t is be-
lieved that when the entire town is
upon the meter basis that the condi-
ton of the water fund will show "a big
Improvement.
There are now about $50 meters I'm
use i'm Laurium. Another consignment
Of about 75 meters will be received
this week and will be installed ut once.
The meters are paid for by the con-
sumer but i'm short time the savings
i'm the water bills meet the expense of
the installation. 1t is expected that
the village will continue To install me-
ters at rate of from 65 TO 20 per
month until every consumer I'm the
town is supplied.
Experiments so far have proved that
the consumer on the meter basis saves
from so to Is cents per 1000 gallons
of water consumed, the meter rate be-
ing but 20 cents per / 900 gallons.

Two interesting games Of hockey were
played in the Glaciadom last night.
The first game between the Ojibway
and Mike Foley's teams, resulted i'm a
victory for the latter by the score OF
3 to 1. Manager Narcotic at point
and Captain Sullivan in the net were
the particularly bright stars for the
visiting seven, the latter's work saw
ing his team from a more severe beat
ing Mike Foley did good work for
his team and did some close, hard
checking which made the opposing
forwards stay long distance from the
net The teams will meet again in a
couple of weeks. The second game
was the best exhibition of amateur
hockey seen i'm the rink this
year, and gave the Wanderers another
victory for their already long list. Os-
ceola was the loser in this contest, the
score being to 2. Clever combina-
ton work marked the contest
throughout and clean fast hockey was
what every man in both teams was
bent upon playing. Kinzel scored the
four goals for his team all coming on
passes from +. Benchich. Udell and
Roeder on the wings played well ana
advanced the puck a great deal while
the defense was almost impenetrable.
Uksila for the opposing team showed
up well on the forward line. The Mo-
hawk team lined UP with Diring, goal;

THE REAL TARIFF ISSUE

The consuming public can care but little about President Tafts Tariff
Board and what it discovers either abroad or here. The members of the
Board are, no doubt, having the best time in their lives and living in luxury
at the best hotels in the capitals of foreign nations with Uncle Sam as the
liberal paymaser. What the American people would like to know is wheth-
er or not there is any prospect Of a decrease in the present high cost of living.
Since the "best tariff bill wa passed in August 1909 prices have consider
ably advanced o many articles which makes the purchasing price of the dol
lar less than it was under the Dmgey law.
What the voters have to decide when they vote for candidates fr the
National House of Representatives and for state representatives who will
elect United States Senators is which party candidate will vote for real tariff
revision? The Republican politicians ven Ne Insurgents declare that they
are welded to the protective policy which arifcially adds to the price If
nearly all we buy because it prevents competition from abroad. The boosted
home competition between manufacturers has nearly vanished in conseq uence
of the tanffstered combines and trusts, which, it is evident, ar banded to-
gether in restraint of trade.
The Democrats are pledged to reduce the tariff to the revenue producing
point which, while it will not perhaps be low enough to greatly increase i'm
ports, will force the manufacturers and the trusts and the combines to reduce
the price of their products for fear of losing part of their trade to foreign COM
lean consumer is concerned, unless he wants to 90 into the details of the tariff
tax on the 1000 arhcles-more or lss-which is such a complicated matter
that even the experts disagree upon il.
If the voters of the United States had not for so many years submitted
to be plundered by the Republican tariffs, each higher than the former law,
one would think that it would be a c certainty how they will vote on this para
mount ISSUE But the partisan spirit of the Republicans is weakening under
confidence in Democratic policies is growing apace.

SHIP SUBSIDY AND TARIFF

1t is reported from Beverly that President Taft will try to force a ship
subsidy bill through Congress We trust the President will further consider
this recommendation, for such a bill cannot pass at the short session because
all the Democrats will oppose ii, and some, if necessary, will talk it to death
All forms of subsidy are sheer robbery of the tax payers for the benefit Of the
few who receive it. If our shipping interests ca only revive through a dir
1ect subsidy, there must be something radically wrong with the fundamental
organization Of the business. We are low paying subsidies for transatlantic
mail to the American Line, which is virtually controlled by the Pennsylvania
railroad, but that steamship company does not prosper wen with the subsidy
of over 100000. Its ships are old and slow, and although a larger subsidy
might be granted by Congress there is no guarantee that the service would be
improved.
The Protective tariff is virtually a subsidy paid to those interests that
are protected. The only difference between the ship subsidy and the tariff
subsidy is that the government pays the first directly to the ship owners hay
ing taxed all the people to do so, and the tariff tax is paid by those who pr
chase imported antilles; and the protected manufacturers ire enabled to col
l@t their share Of the tax by increasing. the price Of their products just about
the percentage that the tariff on similar goods amounts to.
The tariff tax paid to the government amounts to about 81 per capita or
$50 per family, and the value of our manufactured products in 1908 was
S14,S02, 14I0S7, the tariff duty on which if imported would average 43 per
cent or, in round numbers, $40 per capita, o about $3.50 per family; but the
Census report of manufactures in 1905 was greatly increased by taking part
y manufactured articles and then adding the finished artces-so that, for
instance, pig iron, steel and all products of steel are all figured as manufac
lures in each stage to the completed tool or utensl. As there ire no reliable
those imported upon which tariff duty is paid, the $40 per capita can be cut
in half making the amount per family S75 as the lowest estimate of the in
creased amount paid by the public to the protected interests in consequence Of
the tariff We thus have:
Average tariff TAX paid to the government per family per anuum- ----.S 20
Average extrap price paid for domestic manufactures in consequence of
protection, per family 175
Total increased cost of all manufactured articles in consequence of tariff,
per family, per mum $102
That amount of tariff taxation by the government and the increased
tariff is more than % per cent of the average income Of farmers, middle class
people and workngmen.
just think about this and decide whether you will vote for ship subsidy
and to continue these tariff taxes.
