MICHIGAN FOR RECIPROCITY.

The Grand Rapids Herald publishes
the result Of a poll it has taken of the
entire daily and weekly press Of Mich
igan Oh the subject Of Canadian reci-
procity and the inauguration of this
policy as represented by the pending
treaty on the subject, for the consid-
GRAFTON Of which a special session Of
congress has been called.
II the poll of the Michigan press
may be taken to correctly reflect pub
lie sentiment in Michigan on this sub
ject then the attitude Of the state
may be summed up in the following
paragraphs:
Among all the people of Michigan,
Il per cent favor the Reciprocity
treaty.
Among partisan Republicans, IS per
cent favor the Reciprocity treaty.
Among partisan Democrats. 70 per
cent favor the Reciprocity treaty.
Among Independents, rs per cent
favor the Reciprocity treaty
While there is considerable dissatis-
faction with the detail of the plan as
at present developed by the Mccall
bill, those who criticiso tine detail at
the same time declare their belief that
this inauguration OF the policy Of
Canadian reciprocity will speedily re-
suit in readjustment Of whatever
schedules may be wrong. so that in
the ultimate we shall have secured
the best for all concerned.

This immense dam requiring over

1.OSO feet. The dam is higher than

travel. Landowners are not ex-
pected to give their land for nothing;
but it is a fact that several offers OF
land have been made by owners
who realize that the proximity Of
the road to their homes would be OF
great value. Under the act, as we
call it, land needed for the road can
be condemned, just as it would have
to be condemned if the State were
building the road. In that respect
there is thus no difference as to
methods. In regard to the "valu-
able franchises" complained of, the
offer has been made to give those
franchises away to anybody who
will make use of them and not hold
them for speculation.
The builder of the road has de-
clared that he is willing to turn the
franchises over to any responsible
persons or company that wants
them. In truth there are no fran
chises involved in the road act that
are expected to be worth anything
for many years. As to the state
building the road that is merely a
criticism. The state could
build the road, sure enough, but if
the state can get-and it is to get
a good road for nothing then that
is so much better. 1t is to be gift
to the people, and for the most part
they so consider it.
Notwithstanding the cries of the
,arpers the new road is to be a real
gift to the state. Therefore it is
we'll to remember that the builder
If the road is not in the project to
make money. 1t is evident that
here is no possibility Of him max
ng profit out of his investment |
or the general welfare of the State. J
There is no demand for assistance
rom either individuals or communi
les as is now alleged. 1t is optional |

nifty of the road, and they need |
lot provide a cent of money or a

however, are anxious to |

Milford chronicle., 1911-07-14

it is reasonable to imagine that they
should be willing to do something
to secure the benefits they seek.
In regard to the condemnation of
land that is purely in harmony with
established law. Cities can condemn
property for public purposes and
even if the State should build the
road it would have TO follow that
method in some instances. The criti-
cisms revived at this time are cap
tious and unwarranted. Mr.. DUPONT
made his proposition clear at Dover
and the General Assembly passed
the necessary act. As TO the route,
that is not decided finally, but we
are certain that when the road is a
fact those individuals and commune
ties that find themselves away from
the road by reason of their opposi-
ton will soon discover their mis-
take. Every farm adjoining that
road will be increased in value and
every town through which it passes
will be the gamer.
Milford chronicle., 1911-07-14
THE NEW STATE ROAD.

Answering the critical attitude OF
many persons in regard to the du-
Pont Road, the Morning News"
has the following to say
For some reason or other there has
come a sudden revival of the criticism
of the gift of a road to the state by
Mr.. T. Coleman DUPONT. We had i'm
agined that the people of Delaware
generally had come to realize the
value of this road, preparations to
build which are now being made.
Yet the public is told now that the
project is undesirable and mislead-
ing-that towns through which the
road will pass are expected to meet
some Of the expense that land
owners are expected to give their
property that the road is not to be
a gift in fact that valuable fran
chises have been given away by the
State, and that the State could have
and should have built the road at
its own expense.
These are the objection offered
when the project was first broached,
and they were all disposed of when
the theme was outlined to the Gem
eral Assembly and after the act pro-
viding for the road was passed. In
respect to the allegation that the
towns through which the road is ex-
pected to pass are to be asked to "pay |
a considerable portion of the ex-
pense of the road" through those
towns, it is only to be said that, as
we understand, the use of town
streets depends entirely upon the
towns Observation-Disclosures they are
willing to pay a share in order to
secure the road and to thus do their
fair part in return for the benefits to
follow. There is no need, as we take
it, for the road to run through any
town, but it is natural to suppose
that every town would be glad to
have the road and thus reap the
benefits to follow and the advan-
tages Of being along the line OF

PAY FOR CATTLE KILLED BYVIRUS.

The State Live Stock and Sanitary
Board has paid S211j to four farm
ers of Blackbird Hundred following
the death of a number Of horses and
cattle after NEGOTIATIONS for an
thrax. The deaths, it is said, We're
due to the vaccine, which was made
at the State Experiment Station in
connection with Delaware College,
being too strong. The vaccine was
manufactured from the anthrax cul-
ture secured from the University Of
Pennsylvania.
A total of 102 animals were
treated before the cause of the sick
ness and death OF the cattle was
known and the vaccine called in.
The Sanitary Board has held many
meetings in regard to the matter and
have paid visits to the farmers. who
suffered losses. Governor Penne-
will, who is an agriculturist, accom-
panied the board. In addition 10
paying the farmers for the animals
that they lost, number Of horses
were sent to them to use during the
summer.
Horace VanDyke, a farmer near
Walkers School House, lost three
horses and four COWS. The State
authorities paid him $3.50. Henry
HOffecker, a tenant on the farm Of
ex.Judge w. c. Spruance, in the
same neighbOrhood, lost a half
dozen COWS. He was paid $3.50.
Samuel Fortner. a farmer at
Eagles Nest, lost half dozen cows
and horses and was allowed S615. |
Joseph Hutchinson. a tenant on the !
farm of James w. Price, was pa d |
500 for the injurious effects the vac
cine had upon his cattle. None OF |
them died, but they may never re-
gain their former strength.
The money paid the farmers was
taken from an annual appropriation |
Of $1,000 made to the Live Stock !
Board by the last Legisla-
ture when.the body was created. It'll
is composed of the members of the
State Board of Agriculture.
