a bill has been introduced i'm the
legislature TO prohibit the killing
OF deer until 1920 in counties having
a population of $4,000 or more. If this
foolish measure is passed it would
affect only Houghton county. as this
county is the only one coming under
the provision mentioned which has
deer within it's boundaries. The bill
should be promptly killed. If it be-
came a law it would send all of the
hunters into Keweenaw, Baraga, on
tonogan and other noighboring coun-
ties, and the deer of those counties
would be more rapidly exterminated.
on the other hand the deer in Hough-
ton county would increase i'm such
numbers that they would become a
nuisance to settlers and the enforcing
of the law would work n hardship on
them. Changes in the game laws are
desirable If they are Of the right kind.
but the bill just referred to is not Of
that class.

EXIT TONNAGE TAX.


There was joy unconcealed in CAL
umet and throughout the copper coun-
try last evening when The News APP
peared with the intelligence that the
tonnage t ak bill had been killed in
the Senate at Lansing, the members
by a vote Of nineteen to thirteen hav-
ing decided to postpone indefinitely
any further consideration Of the
measure. II means that so far as this
session Of the legislature is concerned
no more will be heard Of the unjust
proposition to levy a specific tax on
the products Of the mines Of the up
per peninsula.
Although no doubt existed in the
minds of those who opposed the dill
that it would be vetoed by Governor
Osborn II 1t ever reached him, the
governor having made his attitude IN
regard to it plain both in the primary
and subsequent campaigns, and again
at the recent hearing on the measure
at Lansing, it was more preferable
and desirable to have the legislature
itself Kill the bill. hence the vigorous
fight against II. Had the Senate pass
ed it. a precedent dangerous TO the
upper peninsula would have been es-
tablished, for such action would have
made the way clearer for the passage
Of a similar measure some time in the
future when governor who might
not be opposed TO it might be in the
executive chair

mage tax through We're, we regret 20
say, almost wholly due TO sectional
ism That it was virtually a section
al fight was shown when an attempt
. include the coal mines Of the lower
part Of the state in the bill was de-
teated. il was shown. too. by the
strenuous activity Of the Grange, at
whose door may be laid the respon-
sIbility OF reviving the measure when
IL had been practically killed in the
senate committee. Senator's former
ly against the tonnage tax were put
IN a predicament when they learned
the Grange was pushing it. and it was
feared enough Of them would vote for
Il because Of Grange influence, when
be final test came. Happily, however,
sIch was not the case.
The upper peninsula members and
'thers opposed TO the tonnage tax
fought the measure strictly on the
basis that II was unjust and inequit-
lble. that 1t would work a great hard
ship on the mining industry and in
iirectly on the entire population OF
he L. p. which is largely dependent
ipon the mines TO- support. This
ceiling was amply demonstrated this
week when thousands Of miners and
'ther citizens signed petitions and |
forwarded them to Lansing to protest
against favorable action on the tom
lage tax. Fortunately these petitions
we're unnecessary, the bill having
'cen killed before they reached the
Senate. Nevertheless the petitions
