ident Taft has criticised as too high.
Excluding the United Kingdom no
other great nation has anything like as
large percentage of free imports. 1t
would seem, under all the circum-
stances, that we already have free trade
enough. Economist.
Owosso city is vitality interested in a
bill introduced in the legislature Thurs.
day prohibiting the running of any
refuse from sugar factories or other
pollution into the Shiawassee river.
Action on the bill will not be taken
until the next special session and in
the meantime it should be made plain
to our senator and representative that
the adoption of such law would work
untold damage to the city as its present
sewer system discharges into the river
Many other cities and villages would
be similarly affected and the passage
of such a law seems very improbable.
So far as the sugar factory is con.
cerned nothing but the dirt and refuse
from the washing of the beets now
runs into the Shiawassee and this
surely can do no injury.

Chairman Township Committe

The state won an important point in
it's suit against the Grand Trunk rail
road by the decision of the supreme
court which sustained the action of the
Kent circuit court in overruling the
demurrer filed by the attorneys of the
railroad. The state now expects to be
able to force the railroad to produce its
books and thus to be able to prove
what the capitalization of the D., q. H.
g. NJ. branch really is. More than three
million dollars in back taxes is claimed
to be due.

Free Trade Wolves Show Thor Teeth

>Speaking>-of the monstrous Demo
cratic scheme for free sugar and the
imposition of an income tax Represen-
tative John Dalzell remarked that there
was hardly possibility of it becoming
a law, but it served to show what the
nation might expect if the Democratic
party got control Of the government.
Already they have voted to transfer to
Europe and elsewhere 5000, 600. 900 and
more vf American manufactures. To
this they propose to add the 1857, 900, 900
of sugar consumed in this country, and
how much of other products remains
to be seen. On top of all that they pro.
pose to override the Supreme Court and
put into effect an income tax. There is
hardly well-informed lawyer in Con.
gress who believes that the proposed
income tax would be upheld by the
Supreme Court. But even if that were
declared unconstitutional it would not
interfere with the removal of the duties
from sugar. 1t would simply mean a
bankrupt treasury, even worse than
under Cleveland. when the debt had to
be increased to pay the running ex-
penses of the government The re-
feature of this proposition is
that the Democrats should attempt to
carry it out.-American Economist.

Political Pointers.

q. j. Diekema, manager of the Taft
campaign, left for Detroit last night
on two days trip, distinctly happy
over the convention results in both st.
Clair and Montcalm in which the Taft
forces were victorious. In the st. Clair
county convention Roosevelt resolu-
tions were tabled, and in the Montcalm
convention, which was held at Stanton.
the Taft administration was Endorsed.
In both of the conventions the Taft
forces were successful in securing q
majority of the delegates to both the
district and state conventions.
Every encouraging" was the com.
ment of Mr.. Diekema.a 1.-THE opposi-
ton has been particularly active in
these two counties. This is especially
true of Montcslm. This is a strictly
agricultural county and it was thought
easy to secure an Endorsement there for
Mr.. Roosevelt. !
I'm st. Clair the opponents of Presi.
dent Taft have been claiming the coun.
ty solid on the ground that the proxim.
ity Of Port Huron to Canada made
reciprocity live issue there. But
evidently the farmers could see no rea.
son for blaming Taft for reciprocity
and then indorsing Mr. Roosevelt who
was very strongly in favor of the Can.
adian pact. so they turned down the
Roosevelt resolution.
The way things are progressing now
I'm satisfied that by the time the state
convention meets that there won't be
any opposition to the president. y
