The Poor Sparrow.
A little girl who was playing in a
garden with her brother saw poor
sparrow who could not fly. She picked
it up and brought it into the house,
her brother following. She laid it on
the table and left it there.
Soon she saw her mother coming up
the road and ran to tell her. When
they went into the house the little girl
ran to the table only to find few
feathers on it.
In the dining room she saw the cat
eating something and, going closer, she
saw that il was the poor, helpless
sparrow. She felt sorry for the bird,
and she buried it in the garden in the
place where she had found it.-Kathryn

GOVERNOR VETOFS
nearly MILLION
STATE TAX RATE WILL BE ABOUT
SAME AS BEFORE. BIG
EFIciT TO BE
WIPED OUT.

Lansing. Mich, May ll.-That Gov
ernor Osborn has adhered to his pro-
gram of economy was agoin made evil
dent today when Auditor General
Fuller estimated the state tax for the
next two years TO be 1866. .6S2.65,
while that for 1909. and 1910 was $l0. q.
65S,7l9S1.
These figures show that the state
tax for 1911 and 1872 wifi be approxl-
mately what IL was for the past two
years. for s563. 900 OF the sum to be le-
WED is to cover a deficit made In other
administrations. In other words. Gov
ernor Osborn has vetoed approximate
ly 100000 from the appropriations
made by the Legislature and at the
same time has been careful that
enough should be provided to run the
state institutions efficiently, although
they have with one accord demanded
more than heretofore because Of in
creases. At the same time, provision
Is made for an emergency fund of $780,
900. which Auditor Gen. Fuller believed
would be a good thing TO have on hand.
II it We're not for this deficit, which ii
was believed to be good business sense
to get out of the way, Governor Os-
born's administration would, according
to present estimates, cost less than the
previous one
The tax for 1909 was s5,929,719. and
for 1910 was s4.T29,OOO. For 1911 it is
estimated to be s6,257S7271 and for
1912 at $5,O26, ,7O9.9O. In addition the
university is entitled TO a three-eights
of mill tax on the equalized value of
the state, and the Agricultural college
to a one-tenth of a mill tax.
1t is expected that the equalized
value of the state will be increased to
80, 10000 this year, which will in
crease the tax levy for the benefit of
those two institutions to $12S,0O0,
There must also be added approx
imately $4,000 TO provide funds for a
state aid of county schools of agri-
culture and for inspection of contagi-
Gus diseases. The auditor recommend
ed a budget of $11.762,12S.
