ARE ENFORCING RULES.
Powder Company Very Strict. Three
Men Discharged.


+. j. Bawden superintendent of the
Senter plant Of the Dupont dc Ne
mours company. stated yesterday in
discussing the work of the plant that
the rules for the conduct OF the men
are strictly enforced. Three men
were discharged this week for violating
the rule, prohibiting the carrying of
matches. The special powder plant
train TO Senter contains receptacles
where all matches must be placed be-
fore the employees of the company are
allowed to enter the plant. Even the
clothes of the employees are changed
in specially constructed change hous-
es.
In the case OF the three men dis
charged, the carrying of the matches
was simply an act of carelessness and
the men stated they did not know they
were carrying matches. But the Off
Gals of the company feel that they
cannot be too strict and rigid i'm the
enforcement OF the rules where the
lives of a whole community of workers
are at stake.
"The cause Of the recent Prairie City
explosion" said Mr. Bawden. has not
yet been ascertained and likely will
never be found out In such explosions
the cause is seldom ascertained. The
dangers are many and the utmost pre-
caution is necessary. The least over
heating Of the mixtures or the friction
OF a piece OF machinery may cause an
explosion which may entail disastrous
results. The management feels that
the most rigid rules and the immedi-
ate discharge of an ,employe at the
smallest sign of negligence is justif-
BILE an necessary"
The plant is now turning out enough
dynamite To supply the mines of the
copper country and is capable of even
greater production.

TO STRENGTHEN
TAX COMMISSION
GOVERNOR EXPECTED TO SIGN
BILL WHICH HAS PASSED
HOUSE AND SENATE
AT LANSING.

Broader powers than the state tax
commission ever possessed before an
its history are embodied la the LORD
bin. which has passed the house and
senate at Lansing and is mp 10 the
governor for consideration. Ia view OF
the fact that he advised legislation ol
that character previous To the intro
ductlon of the bill, and was consulted
regarding it. the probabilities are that
he will sign IT, when that is done the
authority will be restored 20 the com-
mission to go ont through the state and
force an increase of valuations any
where. on the initiative of the commits
sion.
In the power conferred on the CONF
mission and the shifts in taxation val-
ues when win undoubtedly result tho
bin is one of the most important of the
session. Under its provisions the COM
mission can engage experts and "a sui-
fcient clerical force TO examine taNa-
ton conditions in every county. Fur
thermore the supervisors may not
change the valuation fixed by the COM
mission within three years, without
the written consent of the state board
This feature is far broader than any
previous grant of power, and there is
some surprise that there was not more
opposition TO the provision either in
the senate or house.
once upon time the commission
had power TO send a stan OF men into
any county and examine and raise
valuations. Then the commission
passed somewhat into disrepute, and
the farmers of the state raised mp in
arms. demanded a curtailment OF that
power. At their demand the commits
sion was granted only the power To re-
view assessments on the complaint of
a resident taxpayer. Since then there
have been attempts at each recurring
session Of the Legislature TO restore
that power. Two years ago Judge
Bird. then attorney general, earnestly
advocated a move of that character,
urging there was need of the commits
sion having authority to force higher
valuations in some places else the nd
valorem system of taxes would be jeo-
pardized. The best he obtained, how
ever was a makeshift amendment.
The Lord bill went through with lit
tie opposition and there was practical
" no discussion of its merits in either
house.
