Every day the commission hears of
some factory or merchantile corpora
ton which is getting ready TO put it's
tools in its pocket and its books i'm it's
grip and move TO Arizona If the cor
porate excess tax plan carries. Is the
commission moved thereby? Not at all.
They won't move says Pat Kelley,
and laughs.
There Is a chance that Mr.. Kelley is
mistaken. The Lansing Wheelbarrow
company says, absolutely without quail
ification, that 1t will depart from this
place, and quickly. Perhaps per cent
of it's business is done in Michigan, and
the directors figure that they can't af-
ford to pay 20 per cent of every years
profits in taxes, as they say they would
have to do under the proposed plan.
1t is said that the REQ Motor COM
pany is preparing statistics to see if
il can afford to stay here. The REQ
company now pays about 500 a day
In taxes, and has brought hundreds
of men and their families to Lansing
who are also paying taxes. Senator
Miller pointed out to the commission
that by leaving Detroit Parke, Davis &

money in taxes To pay for new plant

Burroughs Adding Machine company
| (and many others whose sales are
made for the most part in states other
than Michigan) would be in a position
to seek other quarters.
Where would they geo" asks the
lskeptical Mr.. Kelley.
The one class that seems highly
pleased with the commissions plan is
the farmer. There's a reason. and IL Is
this: The commission wants to put
railroads, public service corporations of
all kinds, mines. factories, Industrial
plants, city residences, on the rolls at
100 per cent of their values as going
concerns.
But the farmer, well-you see, the
farmer has to live in the country, and
that isn't so nice. He doesn't have
police and fire protection, or paved
streets. or sewers. True. he doesn't
have to pay for them, but then, he
doesn't have them. And consequently
the farmer is to be left on the rolls at
so per cent
Farmer All Smiles.
You see the point. don't you? Well,
let's get at in another way. Wen
agree that everyone ought To pay taxes
to the extent Of his ability and Wen
measure the farmers ability by the
value of his property. All right. But
we won't feasure the farmers ability
by the value of his property because
he doesn't get police and fire protec-
ton. and hasn't any sewer. Now you
get It, don't you? What's sauce for the
goose is very saucy for the gdhder.

Hoke Smith Is
Progressive, But Steady.

When the progressive element OF the
Democratic party is spoken Of 1t does
not necessarily mean those men who
are idealists and who can never carry
out their theories in practice. Often
times the progressive leaders are men
OF great business and executive abil-
fly and men who never make plans
that cannot be carried out.
Such q man is Governor Hoke Smith
Of Georgia. He has been a leader of
leaders ever since the first bubble of
progressive sentiment appeared upon
the waters of the Democratic party,
yet the Georgian has always maintain
ed level head and his mistakes have
been few.
He appeared Monday before the
Georgia Senate Committee on APP
preparations and insisted that proposed
appropriations be scaled by $150,000.
According to his figures the Legisla-
ture was about to appropriate $15o,000
more for next year than the revenue
would be for next year. He urged
the committee to go to scaling and
not stop until $4,000 had been elm
mated from the total of the appro-
priation.
Hoke Smith has been good peoples
man and good friend to Georgia. His
progressive ideas have been carried
out and his rddicalism has never led
him to recommend anything which
would hurt the people OF his state.
Sometimes people mistake what Is
known as conservatism" in politics
They seem to think the leaders of that
element are the only safe and sane
men, but if the ranks Of the progress
sives were searched there would b.
found men who are working for radical
changes in our city, state and nationa
government. yet men who are as eau
sstious and as steady as the most con-
sentative could desire. Hoke Smith
is fair sample of the Progressive
Democrat
