TAYLOR SYSTEM IS
TO START TONIGHT
w. H. Johnson, Machinists'
President, To Meet Unions
Delegates In Chicago.

The first active steps toward lining UP
the thousands OF navy yard and arsenal
employees of the country against the
Introduction OF the Taylor system of
shop management will be taken tonight,
when William II. Johnson, president of
the International Association Of Ma
chinists, will confer with representatives
OF several unions in Chicago.
Mr.. Johnston left Washington last
night, Immediately after the spirited
meeting of Columbian Lodge of Ma
ch!nists. when the 5000 employees of the
washington navy yard voted to 20 on

Producing the Taylor method.
Other Representatives Of the Washing

OF representatives of every arsenal and
navy yard in the country.
Sure of Support.
BefoHe leaving for Chicago, Mr.. John
ston said he was sure that the navy
yard and arsenal men in every section

OF yards have placed themselves on roc
Ord as opposing the system. The con-
ference. The conference will decide
whether drastic steps toward defeating
me plans Of the Navy Department shall
be taken.
1t is not believed the men will have
10 resort TO strike. At the Navy De-
partment this morning 1t was said there
is nothing to alarm the machtnists.
y. Acung Secretary Winthrop said the
DEPARTMENT would do nothing ia fniure
the high state of efficiency of the Gov
eminent machintsts, and would do moth
ing to work hardships on them.
The Taylor system is distastefuI to
the Government men for several rea
sons, chief of whic his the belief that
us adoption will mean the introduction
OF outside work into the Navy Yard.
: Adopt Resolutions.
The machinists adopted the following
resolutions, which are to be submitted
to the President, the Cabinet members,
and to Congress:
The Government is installing the
Taylor methods to promote efficiency.
Taylor's ideas never have proven a
success, except on rough and repetition
work, to do which he cheates an auto
matte workman, thereby lowering the
standard of the trade Instead Of in
creasing wages and lowering labor cost.

stomach.
Don't put in another dav of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate
your stomach; remove the sour, undI-

bile from your liver and carry out of
the system all the decomposed waste
matter and poison in the intestines
and bowels. Then you will feel great
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They

AT THE OPERA HOUSE
Big Meeting Is Planned In Interests
OF Local Option Next Sunday

The local option committee OF this
city has arranged with the county COM
mittee to hold two meetings in the
Opera house next Sunday to be adj
dressed by Hon. John G. Lehr of Port
Huron. He is scheduled TO speak in
the afternoon at 3 o'clock to the men
and in the evening at 1880 o'clock at a
union meeting to which everybody is
invited, 1t is hoped and expected to
see the Opera house crowded at both
meetings to hear this excellent speaker
The committee in presenting Mr. Lehr
call special attention TO the fact that
he is an all-around campaigner and
prominent in the political and fratern-
al circles Of our state. He has won an
enviable reputation as an orator and
public speaker that is more than state
wide. Mr.. Lehr is Catholic layman
and has given much thought To the
temperance question.
The Buckley Enterprise says of him,
"One of the most reasonable and logi-
cal lectures on the local option ques-
ton that was ever given here. he is
master of his subject and so thorough
and convincing that all were well
pleased whether agreeing with him or
not.

NEW SCHOOLHOUSE
Is Now Ready For Occupancy-Seats
Being Arranged

Belding's new schoolhouse is now
ready for occupancy, the seats are being
placed and when school re-opens on
Tuesday next the various grades as
signed to the building will lbegin their
battle for knowledge therein. Messrs.
w right and Prall, the contractors, are
fast utting on the finishing touches
and the interior is one that ought ut all
times TO make it easy for the pupils
within its walls TO grasp the various
educational subjects that may come
their way.
The building is very beautiful
structure with its walls OF pressed brick
and beautiful white cornice it is a
thing of beauty and should remain a
iov forever TO those who find IL neces-
sary to acquire knowledge at this seat
of learning.
The old building will be occupied by
the third and fourth grades and the
fifth and sixth grades from the north
aide will be moved TO the central
building. The congested condition
which has for so long existed has been
removed and comfort and happiness
should now be the lot of all who seeb
to taste of the treeIof knowledge. Witt

oped resources and help TO prevent
speculative fluctuation in the prices of
food. IL will open up a new market
for our own fresh fruits and vegetables
and our cotton seed oil. 1t will cement
friendly relations with country that
shares with us common traditions and
aspirations, that has sought TO agree
with us quickly when differences have
arisen and cost US nothing in the way
of preparation for defense against her
possible assault. The fear that the
opening up OF Canadian farm lands
would lessen the value of ours is Who'll
ly unfounded. Free access into Cana
da of our fruits, vegetables, grains, eggs
etc, and the removal of duty on rough
lumber are all in the interest of the
farmer.
Many farmers and manufacturers
throughout the nation and the news
papers are discussing the question from
every angle. The Springfield Republi-
can says: "The enactment of this great
measure for larger trade with Canada
would be a mighty stroke for This
country's industrial expansion and
prosperity"

POLITICAL POT
DOESN' 7 BOIL
City Politics Remarkably Quiet
One Anxious For Office
ELECTION SOON COMING
Only Three Weeks TO Formulate q
Ticket-RepublicanS May Have
No Opposition

With the city election only three
weeks distant, hardly n whisper has
been heard relative TO city politics and
the probabilities of who will be NOM
mated for city officer There has been
a rumor however that there will not be
Democratic ticket put in the field be-
cause the old war horse, w. f. Bricker
is not in shape to head the ticket, he
having been put out OF the running on
account of being elected to the Legisla-
ture, SO if the rumor is correct the Re-
publican ticket will have clear field
unless the Prohibitionists or a Citizens
Union ticket should butt in which is
not likely. City affairs have been run
ming along quite smoothly the past
year under the present efficient corps
of city officers and a reelection of the
whole bunch whose term Of office eX-
pires, wouldn't be a bad proposition,
provided they will stand for il.
The city treasurership however must
be shifted into other hands, as the pre-
sent incumbent, w. L. CuSser, has
had it as long as the law allows. 1t
is stated that Robert PEBBLES would
like the office and is goinglafter it hard.
The names of NJ. Y. Gephart, Her
bert Angel and Frank Hicks have been
mentioned, so the field for nomination
is an open one. VIM. f. Sandell says

TOOK FATAL DOSE
Claude G.. Becker Swallowed Aconite
BY Mistake


Claude G.. Becker, prominent citi-
zen of Rockford and son of Charles
Becker of Courtland township, died nj
his home in Rockford last week Friday
from aconite poisoning said to have
been taken by mistake. Since disposing
of his drug business about year ago
in that place he had been a travelling
salesman for Farrand, Williams x
Clark, wholesale druggist at Detroit,
and arriving home from his weekly
trip he went to the Morrison drug store
and from the prescription case took the
bottle supposed to be whisky taking a
a dose for cold, together with some
cold tablets.
| When the mistake was discovered
physicians began work at once to
counteract the poison but TO no avail
as he died in couple Of hours. Mr..
Becker was an expert druggist and il
lis mystery how he could have made
such mistake. He was well known
here and In Grattan, having married
Miss Kitty Randall of that township
He was a former president of the vii
lage and prominent in Masonic anc
lother orders. The funeral, very largely
attended, occurred there Tuesday.

OF INTEREST TO VOTERS
Comparison OF Shipments Of Liquor
During Wet and Dry Periods
sHIpMENTs IONA CITY

SHIPMENTS IONIA CITY
During August 1908 over Grand
Trunk II. II. 145S cases of liquor, 322
bbls.
During August 1910 over Grand
Trunk II. II. 102 cases of liquor l3 bbls.
During August 1910 over Pere Mar.
quette 240 cases of liquor 25 bbls.
In 1908 the records OF the Pere Mar.
quette X. II. were destroyed by ire sc
it is impossible TO give exact shipments
but inasmuch as the shipments over
the Pere Marquette r. r. were double
the shipments over the Grand Trunk
in 1910, ii is considered fair to suppose
that the shipments in 1905 were at leas,
equal.
One drayman of the City of Ionia
states that in 1888 he delivered to one
saloon in the city:
209 bbls and Is one-half bbls per week
also 20 cases beer per week.
He delivered II bbls of whisky per
month, saloon took 2 barrels per
month, and 10 saloons took barrel
per month.
He says that he does not deliver one
case now where he delivered 20 cases
when the town was wet.
SHIPMENTS PORTLAND
August 1915, 2 carloads, 44l barrels
and 294 cases of liquor.
August 1907, 2S barrels, II kegs and
l59 cases, and in one month of August
1910 the Grand Trunk strike was on
and the liquor shipments for Westpha-
liza were sent to Portland.
The station agent at Clarksville stat
eel that he delivered during wet period,
20 cases, - one-half bbls. per month,
and 352 gallon casks per year. Does
not deliver any whisky now, and not
Lilo as much beer.
The foregoing statements can be
proved by any interested party who
desires TO make the investigation. They
tell their own story. Any Ionia county
citizen after reading these figures will
be convinced that there is not as much
liquor brought into the county and
consumed during the dry period as dur
ing the wet.
The open salooll furnish 90 -
-ueaung system, The strongest kind OF
an inducement for men To drink 10
excess. BY licensing the liquor traffic
the people themselves become respons-
BILE for evils resulting therefrom.
From the study Of the figures there
is but one conclusion. Local Option
does lessen the amount OF liquor con-
sumed, hence the present dry regime
should be continued. This can be ac-
complished only by men who believe
that sober citizenship is the best asset
of a county and state, votine in accord
ance with these views.

RECIPROCITY
WITH CANADA
Looms Up Large And Causes
Considerable Discussion
In Many Quarters
TAFT SAYS, WON'T HURT
Opinions Divided Both In Canada and
The United States

Once more the word reciprocity looms
large in our political history says "Cur-
rent Literature. Around ii political is
uss and future political prospects, not
only in the United States but in Canada
and Great Britain seem to swing like
planets around central sun. One
month has wrought remarkable
change. AT one stroke the Taft ad-
ministration has altered the whole as
pect of political affairs in America, re-
versed political predictions, confused
party ranks and stirred into quick
activity industrial and commercial
bodies all over the country. From the
Canadian parliament comes the impas-
stoned cry that il the new stroke pre-
walls il means the political absorption
of Canada and the American flag fly
ing from the North Pole to Mount Po-
pocatepetel.
This commercial agreement is pact
made by our state department and the
Dominion government TO use their best
-ndeavors TO secure certain changes in
tariff rates now maintained between
'e 20 countries in which big list of
"i"otes itemized under III different
ne"us Npon which there are now rang
,ne Us nish as sixty per cent, will pass
pe'"een ihetwo countries free of duty.
Roughly speaking the articles to be
paced on the free list are food products
and ana raw materials, while those on
sort OF tne pioaau, duty IL reduced are the same
subjected to process of manufacture.
Live sheep will pass free but mutton
by the pound will retain duty of IL
cents, hogs will be free but lard will
retain a duty, fresh vegetables free.
Wheat, rye, oats and corn will be free,
but -four, oat meal and corn meal Will
pay duty. Fresh fish will be free.
President Taft justities this move on
account OF the development of our own
