WILL LAKE CO. HAVE
RACING THIS SUMMER?
low about the practicability?

how about the practicabnity?
Arrangements for a revival of the
racing game along those lines and in
those places are said to have passed
the tentative stage" and all that
awaits. it likewise is said, is the Sc
lection of the tracks and the partition
of the stock.
The plan originated in Chicago. in
the fertile brain of. Ben r. Hyman, to
be exact, and the first intention was
to apply it to Cook county. Ill, but the
owners of track property in this inn
mediate vicinity could not be made to
see 1t In the light that was shed on It
by its proponents. and consequently its
transference to Indiana. where some
thing of a foothold already had been
secured and something of the right
kind of announcement been offered.
and away from the political and gam
bling squeezes of Chicago
Indiana's "PerfectIy Good, Law.
Indiana has a perfectly good" rae
ing law, although Its existence has
been lost sight of for a number of
years. 1t was Inadequate to the de-
mands of the race track proprietors of
a dozen years ago, who wanted con-
tinuous racing or nothing, but it seems
to fit the present scheme of revival as
if made to order for it.
The Sellers law-that being Its name
sanctions forty-five days of racing
on one track, in stretches of fifteen
days, with thirty days intervening be-
tween stretches, during the warmer
half of the year. That law was In
force and effect in Indiana at the time
racing was stopped there in 1895, and
was not repealed.
The old Roby confederacy tried to
get around 1t and supply itself with
continuous racing in one spot by build
ing and operating three 'jerichos" a
quarter of mile apart. The track
owners got favorable ruling from the
local Judge, who interpreted the law
according to its letter. and not its spir-
it. The ants took it up to the supreme
court. and Judge McCabe wrote a de-
cision declaring that racing as it was
being carried at the trinity of
tracks in Lake county was in contra :
vention of the intent of the legislature
when It passed the Sellers law.
One in Lake, One in Porter.
It is on this decision of Judge Nc
Cabe. that closed racing in northern
Indiana. that the fathers of the present
plan propose to reopen it, The Sellers
law, they show. will be accepted in a
stricter sense than the Legislature re-
quired. Instead of having but one
track in a "neighborhood" they will
have only one in a county-specifically
one in Lake and the other in Porter.
It might be proper to ask at this
point how about the common gambling
law, which always can be invoked to
nullify schemes of racing promotion?
That. the answer will be. was the
first thing provided for In the elaborate
and ingenious plan of organization.
There amt going to be no gambling
the redundance of negative describ-
| ing the tentative conditions precisely.
There's not going to be any obvious
gambling.
The Jockey club proper will be a

having nothing to do with anything
! but the safe conduct of the racing 1t

VOTE THE TAXES
School District Boards, Not the Elect
ors Have the Power

Important changes in the school law
make the election of suitable officers
at the annual school meeting to be held
this year on Monday, July 8, in the var
ious districts throughout the state OF
vital Importance. Under the law as
amended by the 1911 legislature. the
school boards have almost complete
taxing power, the electors of school
district being able legally to vote mon
ey only for the erection of schoolhouses
buying of sites and the payment of tu-
ition in excess of $40 per pupil. Taxes
for all other purposes are voted by the
school board. The board is to use its
own judgement as to the amount Of
taxes necessary for repairs on school
property, new school equipment, fuel,
teachers wages. water supply, heating
plant, appurtenances such as cuthouses
woodshed, fence etc. The electors
have no right to let hontracts for fuel
or anything else, nor to dictate as to
the selection of the teachers or the
amount of their wages. Such business
is left entirely to the board.

TERMS: $3.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Its Up to Marquette County

With the starting of the work on the
new L'Anse and Skanee Bay Shore
road the proposed route from Kewee-
nav county to the Marquette County
line will be finished this season, it now
being up to the people of Marquette
county to build their highway from
Big Bay to the county line, which when
completed would give the people from
the Iron and Copper countries beauti-
ful driveway in the heart of Cloverland.
The road now runs along the shores
of Portage Lake, Keweenaw, L'Anse
and Huaron Bay and would follow the
scores OF Superior to Marquette.
This would make driveway for au-
tomobiles that would be impossible to
surpass, makeing an attractive route,
the scenery along the way being very
very beautiful. 1t would also open up
the country for settlers, this territory
consisting of thousands of acres of the
most desireable farm land in Northern
Michigan, and would create in the set
tiers desire to locate on such good
lands, which are well adapted for fpait
raising, truck farming. etc.

Members of Township Board Cannot
Be School Officers.

DC oCHOOi oiliSSio'
Members of the township board can
not legally serve on school board, ac-
cording to an opinion of the Attorney
General who holds that the two offices
are incompatible. This ruling affects
butte a number of districts in this coun-
ty and throughout the state. 1t is a
rule of law that when a person accepts
an office which is in compatible with
the one he already holds, he automatic
ally vacates his first office by the ac-
ceptance of the second If person,
for e ample, should be elected as a
member of the school board and later
should be elected to an Office that would
place him on the township board, his
Office on the school board is vacant and
the members of the school board should
Immediately fill the vacancy.
The township board is composed OF
the SUPERVISOR, clerk and two justices
ofthe peace, whose term of office expire
first. None of these men can legally
serve on school board nor can the
township treasurer serve as schooi
treasurer as these two Offices are like
wise incompatible.

The lack of entirely satisfactory r.
results obtained from the big Chicaf o
show and the advisability of contribu-
ting toward the success of the Michigan
fair where better results can be obtain.
ed was given as the cause for the
switch. The advertising campaign
which, has long been determined upon,
took practical form yesterday. 1t was
decided to post attractive and sizeable
posters on billboards and smaller post
ers in other places all through the mid
lie west in sections where the best re-
svlts are expected.
EXCURSION NEXT YEAR
1t was also annornced that no annual
excursion would be s. 'a.ed by the bur-
eau this year, but instead such action
would be taken next year. This year
the officials of the bure III will devote
their energies along the line of the en-
tertainment of members and guests OF
the Board of Commerce of Detroit
when that body visits Escanata next
Thursday. An extensive program has
been arranged for this occasion and il
is certain the occasion will prove one
that will long be remembered by the
tourists. Members of the bureau from
all counties in the peninsula will visit
Escanaba on that date to assist in tht
entertainment of the Detroiters.
Col. Mott talked extensively and in.
terestingly regarding the work and the
proposed work of the bureau. Among
tn other points he brought out was
that there were 65, 900 quarter section
of land in the upper peninsula open t.
settlers at present. This represent.
10, 900, 600 acres of land, he said, anc
should support at least 100000 NOR,
Sersons than are in the peninsula to
day. Regarding the size of the pc
ninsula, Col. Mott further declared i
was four times the size of Connecticu
boasting 1000, 900 population; equal t,
New Jersey and Vermont with 2,537,
900 population; thirteen times the siz,
of Rhode Island with population O.
500. 600. lie also stated that insteac
of being of equal population as is nov
the prevailing case throughout the pc
ninsula, the country districts shoulc
have population of three to one oyel
the cities. Should this condition exis
and the peninsula be as thickly popu
lated as Belgium, tbs country north o
the straights would support an addition
al 5000, 900 people over those alread,
making their homes in the section re
ferred to.
