Many Protests Against Scheme.


Expressions of interest from vari
GUS parts of the state indicate that
when the commission of tax inquiry
begins its hearings on the proposed
new plan of taxation, which includes
the separation of state and local
taxes, storm will break, and repre-
sentatives of corporate interests in
Michigan will make a vigorous as
sault on the scheme. The hearings
will be held in the senate chamber
beginning Tuesday, October "a.
While the manufacturers of the
state have arrived at no definite plan
for combating the corporation tax ad-
vocated by Governor Osborn's special
committee, it is known that steps
have already been taken to submit
the report to competent persons for
their opinion. A number of taxation
experts are at work on the report.
as the manufacturers want to be pre-
pared if Governor Osborn calls a spe-
cial session of the legislature to con-
slider it,
A new angle developed which will
have an important bearing in the dis
cussion of any plan to separate state
and local taxes. In order to augment
the general fund of the state the
commission advocates taking certain
properties, including interurban rail-
ways, out of the field of local taxa
tion and assessing them solely for
state purposes. Such a plan would
increase the taxes of the railroads
and telephone companies of the state,
which pay the average rate of taxa
ton. which is secured by dividing the
amount paid by general property
throughout the state by the assessed
valuation of general property.

LET the mother be self-supporting

Mrs. Claude B. Hamilton. one of the
leading society and club women of
Grand Rapids, the suffragist leader in
western Michigan and one Of the Of
flcers Of the Michigan Equal Suffrage
club. in an adrdess on the present day

Many Dangerous Dams In Slater

Has Michigan any dams which

Won Schon, a well-known civil engi-
neer Of Detroit, in a letter to Gov
ernor Osborn, in which he refers to
the Austin (Pa.) tragedy and suggests
the advisability of precautionary
measures against similar catastro-
phes in Michigan. He states there
are many old dams in Michigan,
which perhaps are not kept up and
might be source of danger and Of
fered to submit his views as to feas-
ible protection.
