EQUAL|zED VALUE
OF STATE RAISED
WAYNE is PLACED AT $4,000 100000,
A RAISE OF $34,ooo,ooo OVER
PRESENT ASSESSED VALUE.
TOTAL FOR STATE is ANNOYING
ED AS $2,2eo, 100000.
Houshton County Reduced and Most
of the Iron Ore Counties Are
Advanced by Large Amounts.

Apparently the poverty pleas of the
various counties whose representa-
tives appeared before the state board
of equalization last week had little
effect on that body, as the equalized
value Of the whole state has been
tilted from $1,734, 100000 to $780,
100000, an increase of 1855, 900, 900
since the last meeting Of the board
in 1906.
However, this increase is $673, $685.
S22 less than the value placed on the
state by the tax commission in it's
report filed with the board last week.
1t was the contention of practically
every representative that the board
of equalization should not follow the
dictates of the tax commission in
this regard, as it was the unanimous
opinion Of every one interested in
taxation matters that the tax com
mission had gone slightly beyond the
limit.
That the board of equalization re-
duced the values as placed by the
tax commission is no surprise to
those who have followed closely the
proceedings of the last two weeks.
The Figures in Detail.
The complete figures, with those
of the last equalization five years
ago, are given herewith:

County Ought Be Good Roads Unit.

Philip T. Colgrove, president of the
Michigan State Good Roads associa-
ton, gave the opening address Of the
annual convention to several hundred
members who gathered in Representa-
tive hall.
Just as long as we remain under
the township system and continue the
patchwork road business" he said,

benefit the whole people, the sooner

"The appropriations made by the
legislature are collected from the tax
able property of the whole state.
Every county pays its share accord
ing TO it's assessed valuation. In six
years the state has paid out over
$685. 900 in award money. Is there any
reason why Saginaw county should
draw $72,508 and Genessee $5,064?
Saginaw is getting more than her
share, but what of it, so long as the
others stand back and do nothing?"
Over 1000 motor car owners are
members of the association. Motor
car manufacturers of the state have
placed $1,150 at the disposal of the as

Makes $4,000 Selling Tax Lands.

Selling tax lands seems TO havo
been a pretty profitable business for
the state according to q report show
ing that for the lands sold in the last
IL years the state secured $S0,000,-
more than the taxes assessed against
the land. Under the law which au.
thorizes the auditor general to deed
to the land commissioner for sale, all
delinquent tax lands which have been
held for five years, the state has Sc
cured S1.SS6,656.17 from the sale Of
such lands during the past IL years.

U. of M. Allowance Raised.

Washtenaw county property hold
ers are rather pleased, for while there
has been 1922 per cent. increase in
the valuation of state property, which
will mean an increase in the univer-
sity income of s20S, 462.50 each year.
the state taxes in Washtenaw coun-
ty will be ten per cent. less than they
were last year. The university at
present receives $650,2SL5O as its
share Of the state funds, but under
the new valuation it will receive

Sugar Beet Crop win Exceed That
of 1910.

With the campaign of the beet
sugar factories only a few weeks
distant, the railway men and the
farmers are issuing their own thanks
giving messages right now for the
blessings of Providence.
'The outlook for the coming sea-
son points to a crop considerably
above the normal. 1t may run from
10 to 20 per cent in excess of the
production of last year," said H. G.
Halsted, superintendent Of transpor-

favorable to the growth of this

State Treasury Nears Bottom.

State Treasurer Sleeper in his
monthly report of the condition of
the states finances shows a balance
on hand in the general fund Of $780,
1913, which is $4,000 less than was
in the fund provided for state ex-
penses year ago. 1t is expected
that the treasury will be empty
about the first of November.
1t is pointed out in this connection,
however, that one item going to
make up the big taz levy of this year
is $250,000 with which to wipe out
this annual deficit as well as another
item of $4,000 to be used as an
emergency fund.

ROGER @. Mills Dead.

Roger @. Mills, confederate soldier,
able lawyer, Democratic statesman
and one Of the foremost men of
the southwest, died in Corsicana,

care of his estate and had come
into a considerable fortune through
the discovery of rich oil wells on
the property. He had been in i'll

had been rapidly failing of late.

Reyes Is Stoned by Mexican Mob.

Stormed and forcibly robbed OF
5000 pesos by mob of Maderistas
in the principal thoroughfare of
Mexico City, Gen. Bernardo Reyes,
candidate for the presidency in oppo-
sition to Madero, was forced to
abandon an effort to address his con-
stituents and to run the gauntlet of
a jeering crowd upon whom the po-
lice had received orders not to fire
except as a last resort.
The stoning of the aged general
was the climax of a riot.
