Governor vetoes Nearly Million

That Governor Osborn has adhered
TO his program OF economy was again
made evident when Auditor General
Fuller estimated the state tax for the
next two years to be Sll. 5GG, $50 65.
while that for 1909 and 1910 was $40,
50s, 1881.
These figures show that the state tax
for 1911 and 1912 will be approximately
what IL was for the past two years. for
1868, 600 Of the sum to be levied Is TO
cover a deficit made in othey admins.
trations. In other words, Governor
Osborn has vetoed approximately $500.
600 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 here
tofore because of increases. At the
same time. provision Is made for an
emergency fund of SEQ. 600. which An.
Aitor Gen Fuller believed would be
good thing to have on hand. II it were
not for this deficit, which IL was be-
lieved to be good business sense to get
out Of the way, Governor Osborn's adj.
ministration would, according to pre-
sent estimates. cost less than the pre-
vious one.
The tax for 1909 was 81. 929, 7l9, and
for 1910 was A 720. 600. For 1911, IL
is estimated to be 90. 257, 372. n and tor
1912 at S5. O2G. 70g 30. In addition the
university Is entitled to three ghths
of mill ta.Dn the equalized value OF

to one-tenth of mill tax.
- IL is expected that the equalized
hlne Of the state will be increased TO

crease the tax levy for the benefit OF
those two institutions TO si2s. 600.

PAPERS SERVED
IN AMASA CASE
TOWNSHIP BOARD AND co TREAS.
CITED TO APPEAR IN COURT
A MaNDiMUS is ASKED FOR
The Case VIII be Argued at the June Term
And II Will Decide an interesting
Point in Liquor Law.

The township board of the TOWNSHIP,
OF Anlasa ana the county treasurer d
Iron county have been ordered 10 ap
pear In the circuit court at the Jun,
term to show oaus1 why madamui
should not be issued restraining the
said officials from granting Licences tc
the liquor dealers in the township OF
Amasa.
The rapers were served late last
week. Arthur II. Ryal OF Escanaba is
the attorney FOR the plaintiffs and Chas.
II. Watson the attorney for Hematite
township. will represent the board
while M. s. McDonough prosecuting
attorney will represent Mr.. Reynolds.
the county treasurer.
This case grows out of the petition
signed by majority Of the electors of
Hematite township asking that the
township board refuse the Michigan
Surety Company" as bondsmen for the
liquor dealers of that township.
AS explained by Mr.. Morrison in last
weeks issue Of The Diamond Drill. the
township board accepted the petition
and when the bonds were presented for
acceptance she board was advised that
the name of the bonding company is
the Michigan Bonding and Surety
Co. " and it was held that the petition.
by leaving out tho word Bonding"
In the title OF the company. could not
be applied as TO the Michigan Bonding
and Surety Co.
Accordingly, the licenses were issued |
TO the liquor dealers and they came TO
the county treasurer with credentials
that were fair upon their face. Mr..
Reynolds issued the licesnes as he did
in every other case.
As soon as the liquor dealers attemp.
ted to transact business under the new
license the petitioners. through Rev.
Rutlege. agent for the anti saloon lea
gue, instituted proceedings TO stop
them and this case is the result.
The case will bee watched with in
terest all over the state as il will have
much bearing towards settling disput.
cd points in the liquor laws OF the
state.
