cember, was assessed on its own
declaration for personal property
amounting TO SIS. 500, but the trustee
found upon examination that the
property was actually worth about

made. Referee Joslyn ordered the

that the city should not suffer injury

AGENTS FIND HUNDREDS
OF OWNERS EVADE TAXES
Discover No Assessment Has
Been Levied Against 1900
Houses in Gogebic

CRYSTAL FALLS. Mich, May o.
The special agents of the state tax
commission who are investigating the
assessment rolls in various counties
of the upper peninsula are said 60
be making surprising discoveries. IL
is reported that in Gogebic county
alone, 1900 houses have been found
on which no assessment has ever
been made. IL is recalled in this con
nection that an independent investi-
CATION made in Marquette by the com
mon council OF that ely recently de-
yeloped the fact that considerable
number OF residences erected the past
few years had not been taxed, having
been overlooked by the various as.
SCISSORS.
Aside from the men who are look
ing into the rolls, the tax commits
sion has in the field a large force
of agents who are estimating the
value OF standing timber. Ii is a well.
known fact that most forest lands are
assessed at much less than their &C
tual value and IL is expected that the
result OF the work, now In progress,
will be an increase in assessed valu-
alton, aggregating very large sum,
lust as was the case last year, when
in consequence or an expert appraisal
the assessment of the iron mines was
boosted many million dollars.
The timber holdings in the PENN
sula are still so extensive and the
tax commissions men are doing their
work so thoroughly that II is not eX-
pected the task under way will be
for two or three years yet,

What will Cadillaqua do for me o.
is question often asked the men who
are soliciting memberships in the
Cadillaqua association.
That CadillaQua will bring many
thousands OF dollars into Detroit the

one OF the prominent business men
who are working so earnestly in be
half OF Detroit's big birthday party.

is matter OF actual record that these
visitors leave in the Crescent city
each year approximately S3,000,000 Al
Detroit Cadillaqua celebration brings
10 the city only 100000 people, 1t
means that the extra business done
IN the city during that Week will APP
proximate 100000.
And this $4,000 900 Is what the
people OF Detroit will get in return
for their $40 memberships" says II.
A. Jones, who has charge of the mem
bership campaign. The Cadillaqua
association must have a minimum OF
10, 900 members. At $40 each. this is
100000. In other words, II the peo-
pie Of Detroit invest 100000 in
Cadillaqua, they will get a return OF
approximately $1,000 900 In business
And any time that oven 81 900 00t

Gus enough to meet the demand for

on the Million Dollar Pier in AT
lantic City September 80 to October
S. At the present time with the
people Of. the United states spending
more than $500, 900. 900 Year for
the Improvement of highways the
demand for expert highway en-
gineers exceeds the supply. There
is to be conference of educational
institutions at the American Road
Congress to be directed by the soci-
ETY. for the Promotion of Engineer
ing Education, and through this con
ference efforts are to be made to in
duce the leading universities to es-
tabllsh' specific and practical courses
for the instruction Of highway en-
gineers
At the present time there are
about eighty-two universities de-
voting some attention to highway en-
cheering. The instruction in this
branch of engineering. however, is
in most cases, merely part of the
general training of engineers, SO that
there will be sufficient number OF
trained men to handle the great
problem that has been thrust upon
the United States by the wide spread
agitation for better system of pub
lie highways that will reduce the
cost of hauling crops and permit
shipments by farmers at all seasons
of the year

The or and the Moose.

The ins!ncerity of the Bull Moose
and his followers in regard to the
workings Of some primary laws that
allow candidate to win an Office
even when he polls smaller num-
Der Of votes cast than his opponent,
is thus shown up by the Parkersburg
Sentinel, which doubtless had recol-
lections OF the California primary
when bordering upon the subject:
This popular rule business offen
depends upon which side the popu-
lace lines up with. The Moose
velters from the Big Chief down,
have had much to say about the
cruel crimes of conventions in over
riding the rule of the people as ex-
pressed at primaries. The other day
Kansas had a primary. Governor
Stubs ran for the United States
Senate as progressive against Sem
ator Curtis. who has always been a
standpatter. Ten thousand more
persons voted for Curtis than for
Stubs, but stubbs's votes were so
distributed that he carried larger
number OF members of the legisla-
ture. Will Stubs and his members
of the legislature abide by the pop
ular vote? Not on your half-tone.
They say 1t is up to them to elect
the senator and the same shall be
Stubs. And yet kansas politics and
Kansas primary laws and Kansas
Legislation generally have been held
up to us as the last word in the
grand and glorious movement of re-
storing to the people the rule that is
rightfully theirs. If Curtis had cop
ped the legislators instead of the
popular vote and put the steamroller
in action, as Stubs is doing,
wouldn't howl have gone up from
the sacred precincts of Oyster Bay
to the sanctuary OF Holy Hiram
Johnson across the Rockies?
