WORDING OF THE BILL TO
FIX TREASURER'S SALARY
VOTERS WILL CONSIDER CUES
TON AT SPRING ELECTION.
Will Make Possible the Restoration Of
the Fee System.

Considerable interest is manifested
locally in the bill passed at the last
session of the legislature to submit
to the voters at the spring election in
1912 the proposal TO restore TO the
township treasurer the fee salary sys-
tenn. instead OF the stipulated salary
OF $500 per annum. The question
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting at the township election next
spring.
The act passed by the state legisla-
ture, and signed by the governor, reads
as follows
The People of the State Of Michigan
enact:
Section T. Act number five hundred
fourteen of the Local Acts OF nineteen
hundred FIVE entitled IAN act to pro-
vide for the collection of taxes and
accounting therefor. and for the pay
ment of salary to the township

gan" approved May one nineteen hun
dred five. is hereby repealed: Provid-
ed. That at the annual township cleo
tion held i'm the township Of Calumet
on the first Monday in April, nine
teen hundred twelve, the question of
the repeal of said act shall be sub
mitted to the electors of said town
ship of Calumet. county of Houghton.
The vote upon such proposition shall
be by ballot, which shall be substan-
TALLY in the following form:

But the proportion of gold which
has actually passed into the possession
of and been retained by thieves has
been so small as to actually make the
men responsible for the safe passage
CT the gold from the camps in the
north TO the assay Office in Seattle al
most criminally careless.
In the eastern states when il be-
comes necessary to transport a large
sum of money from one point 10 an
other it is escorted through the streets
from the bank TO the railway station
by men armed with repeating rifles
sitting upon the chests in which the
money is securely locked.
In Alaska the gold is melted into
bricks by the banks in the financial
center Of the mining camps. These
bricks are placed in rough wooden
boxes. The boxes are placed i'm the
purser's room upon a river steamer on
| the Yukon From there they are trans
ferred to baggage car on the railway
at Whitehorse. At Skagway they are
again transferred TO a pursers room
land in Seattle they are loaded upon an
express wagon to be transferred TO the
assay office.
During most of the journey from the
gold fields of the Yukon TO the assay
Office in Seattle they have had only the
casual attention of one man as their
guard. This man may or may not
have a revolver in his pocket and he
must eat and sleep occasionally Dur
ing those times the gold is left almost
entirely without a guardian.
1t is a strange thing that more of il
has not been stolen. and as we say Il
speaks volumes for the general honesty
of the people who come into contact
with the great quantity of this precious
metal that less than a thousandth part
Of the shipments of gold from Alaaxa
to Seattle have been tempered with
