WAR ON HOUSE FLY URGED

A confereFes OF she Michigan
League OF Municipalities to agitate
the subject OF equalizing taxes was
recommended in the report TO the
council, Tuesday night, by the special
committee which conferred with off,
Gals of the Pennsylvania railroad
with the object of inducing the com
pany to extend its lines to Detroit.
The committee also reported that 1t
concurs in t<e opinion expressed by
George Lord, Wayne county's tax ex-
pert, that a great deal could he ac'
complished by a state tax conference
called by the state tax commission.
The report recommends that the en-
tire subject be turned over 70 the
council committee on taxes and this
was done by the adoption of the re-
port Mayor Thompson's recommends
tion that the special committee be
kept intact to forward the work was
received and fled in former ses
sion and by the action Of the council.
Tues day night, the special committee
is disbanded.
Following is a portion Of the report
submitted by the special committee:
The ePnnsylvania officials are Gag
er to gain an entrance here and get
it's proportionate share OF the vast
tonnage which annually leaves this
city, and that the officials of the COM
pany hive made some investigation is
borne out by the fact that their engi-
neers have estimated the cost of a
double-track extension from Toledo
to Detroit at $5,00O,000 with an addl-
tional expenditure of $6,00000 for
equipment and terminal facilities.
Therefore. 1t is apparent TO us
from the tenor of these remarks that
the main objection which the Pennsyl-
vania railway has is the taxation
problem, and this geenral complaint
in substance Is that the railroads are
taxed close to 100 per cent because
they are railroads; that real and per-
sonal property belonging to private
individuals is taxed considerably be-
low par, because local assessors or

DETROIT SUFFRAGISTS
WILL TRY THEIR HAND
AT NEWSPAPER MAKING
Will Have Complete Charge of
All Editions of The Times,
June 3.
TO BOOST THEIR CAUSE

"Stories" Supporting "Votes

An event absolutely. unique in the his
tory OF Detroit and Michigan will be the
issuing of the Equal Suffrage edition
OF The Detroit Times, to be published
Monday, June 8, in the interest of and
by the equal suffragists fthis city
and the state. The Times on that day
will be edited and the matter in its
columns gathered and written by
women and men interested In the
furtherance of the cause of Votes for
Women" Many of the articles, 1t is
true, will be the product of the male
brain, but that Is because the women
have seen fit to call upon their sons.
their husbands, and their brothers, or
men prominent in public life for opin-
ions upon certain questions bearing
directly or indirectly upon the equal
suffrage question.
The suffragist edition of The Times
will be the first paper of its kind to
be published in Detroit or Michigan,
and the clever and resourceful women
who have the edition in charge have
every reason to prophecy that the pa

UTLAWS PILLAGE STORES

WASHINGTON, May 29.-With the
arrival of the United States army
transport Prairie at Guantanamo with
775 mabines aboard, the government Is
today prepared to send these marines
into the troubled province OF Orlente,
Cuba. either to aid in guarding Amer
lean property. which is endangered by
Negro rebel bands, or to assist the
Cuban officials in putting down the re-
volt. This force is now on Amerl-
can territory-the United States naval
station-but II Is known that officials
here will not hesitate TO order them
onto Cuban soil IL the events require
such action.
The province of Oriente, which IL
now the scene OF most serious distur
Dances, Is close to Guantanamo and
United States marines can be dis.
patched there within a very few
hours.
State department officials rciterate
that precautions already taken by
them to protect American, and other
foreign interests on the island have
been amply justified. Large amounts
OF sugar cane on plantations in which
American capital is invested have
been destroyed and the factories on
these plantations are now in danger
OF destruction. The attitude OF the
rebels under Gen. Estenoz is held t'
be most threatening. Estenox claims
that " he Is not able TO obtain as
surances that the Morua law, pro
hibiting the organization of strictly
Negro political party will be repealed
ne will force owners OF railroads and
other corporations to contribute funds
with which to prolong the conflict
against the Gomez regime. In the
meantime small bands of Negroes are
pillaging stores and stealing horses.

SOCIALIST PLEADS
FOR GOVERNMENT
RELIEF OF POOR
Congressman Berger Wants
Money Loaned to States
to Furnish Work.

Congressman Victor Berger, the So
cialist member OF the House. introduced
today a bill ito provide for the employ
ment OF all willing workers and for
other purposes" Mr.. Berger says the
Government came to the aid Of the
bankers in 1.-The rich mans panic in
1907" and that 1t ought to help the
poor man now.
The Berger plan, in brief, Is that the
Government shall lend money to States,
counties. and cities for public improve
ments. thereby providing work for the
unemployed. These loans, he proposes.
shall be made on bonds issued by the
states, counties. or municipalities.
MY Dill, said Berger. has as it's OBJ
lect not only to relieve the unemployed
70 degree hitherto unknown In his
tory, put also to make money strin-
sency impossible In the future, and ia
DO 1t In much more effective way than
any Aldrich monetary scheme.
Let the Government issue money on
honds to States. counties. and cities
without Interest, let up say, in twenty
yearly fnstnllntents, the returned money
to be Cancelled and destroyed as soon as
paid back. This would give employ.
n'cnt to hundreds Of thousands. mil.
lions eventually. and would for long
army and money would get in cir.
culation."
Mr. Berger says j. p. Morgan was
supposed to have relieved the situa.
tion In the 1907 panic, cut II now de.
vel"ps the Government supplied the
money dumped into Wall Street.
Thus did the master financier utiliz,
the peoples money and the need of tn,
hour to increase his own wealth. and
thus did the Government come to tn,
aid of the banks when they were II
need" continues Berger. But tn,
working class IL always in need, anc
there are always about two millioni
partly or totally unemployed, and m,
bill is to relieve them"
Mr.. Berger predicts his bill will be op
posed by the bankers and the specu
lators. because under the plan tn,
municipalities will not have to Dor
row money from the capitalisti
class for public improvements.
