of the rich town and city, at the eX-
pense of the smaller and poorer NUM-
cipality. In short the Committee con-
tended and still contends that When
the State levies tax upon all the
property in the State for the beneht
of the common schools in the distri-
buttons of the funds so raised every
nerson of school age is entitled to an
eoual share without regard to place
or residence, and no argument, how
ever. specious or ingenious can CON
vince your committee to the contrary.
And this was our reason for ooJec',
ing to the mill tax to be distributed
according to valuation.
In our last report we called your
attention to the fact that all the WORK
of your legislative committee
in securing new revenue iTonl
large corporations and from oth-
err legitimate and proper sourc-
es would be worse than useless IL II
were not accompanied by a cores
acknowledgements in the tax burdens OF
the people at large. From 1901 to
1909 the Grange has been instrument
tai in bringing into the Golfers OF the
State nearly $3,000000 from new
sources of taxation, but notwlth-
standing this, your burdens have not
been lessened, and the cause OF this
is simply and solely increased and ex-
travagant public expenditures.
. Our earnings and accumulations,
and the population of our State have
increased but slowly, but our gov
eminent expenditures have increas-
ed with alarming rapidity. New
offices. new officials, increased sal
aries. demands for new and increas-
ing appropriations at every succeed
ing session of our Legislature make
up the current financial history OF
the State, and to mark the climax OF
the generosity of our legislators with
other peoples money, our last Legs
lature entered upon the road so con
demned by the founders of the Re
public. the creation of a civil pension
list. and for beginning, writing on
it the justices of our Supreme court
and the officials and employees of our
State prison. What shall the end
be?
The remedy for these and other
evils of this nature lies in an active
interest in public affairs on the part
of all our people. Honesty, econ
omy, and efficiency in the administra-
ton Of public affairs will come only
in response to the insistent and per-
sistent demands of an enlightened
electorate and 1t is the part OF a good
Patron to make such demands, for,
in so doing he is achieving as he can
achieve in no other way. the welfare
of his country and his fellowmen.
There seems to be some fear in
certain quarters, that the legislative
committee was wasting the funds of
the Grange. We here submit a state
ment of the gross amount of money

WILL NOT AFFECT MICHIGAN
One of New Rules In Regard TO For

Back Been Practised.

Two of the most important rule
changes will not affect the Michigan
football players in the slightest, be-
cause plays based upon conditions al
lowed by these changes were drilled
into the men for weeks last season.
The CHANCES are those which allow
a forward pass to go over any part of
the line md which allows man in
the backfie1d to take the ball directly
from center and strike the opposition
at any point.

Der the line shifts that did so much
to gain yards for the supporters of
maize and blue. Yost's maneuvers
called for a shift which left the center
at one extremity Of the line From
this formation any sort OF play could
be started and, as 1t proved when tried,
started with splendid chances of great
success. The Michiganders made end
runs, straight bucks, forward passes,
on-side kicks-almost everything from
this formation. When the long passea
were made with the forwards so ar
ranged they many times went directly
over the center of the line of scrim-
mage which, with the center stationed
at end, would be the required five
yards away from the spot on which the
ball rested when put in play Again,
countless straight bucks were made on
a direct pass. The ball, Of course, went
from center to runner at an angle.
This did away with the necessity of
running five yards to the right or left,
as the case might be.
