Select Full Ticket and Set Precedent
by Naming Two Women
as Presidential
Electors.

The state convention of Socialists
at Flint, after a preamble review of
the developments at Jackson prison,
adopted resolutions demanding that
Gov. Chase S. Osborn and the pris-
on board of control investigate the
conditions leading up to the recent
disturbance at the prison, the whip
ping of prisoners; that responsibility
be fixed and guilty ones punished
meaning prison officials guilty OF
causing whippings.
In addition to placing candidates
on the state ticket the Socialists set
a precedent in Michigan, it is be-
lieved,. in naming two women for
presidential electors. The women
are Mrs. Ida Kummerfeld, Of De-
troit, and Alice McAfee, of Lansing.
The convention was marked by a
large number Of women in the gal
leries and sprinkled throughout the
hall. Amusement was on the pro-
gram when w. T. Curry, a molder
from Kalamazoo, who was unable
to do as he preferred in fixing the
candidatorial slate, dramatically
shouted his dissatisfaction, tore up
his credentials, threw them into a
cuspidor, declared the convention
was of the steam roller" variety
and left the building for his home

Plenty of Water for Panama Canal.

The engineers calculations as to
the sufficiency of the water supply in
the Panama canal have been amply
vindicated by the figures just report
ed from the isthmus. The great lake
OF Gatun, which is being created by
the dam at that point, during the
week Sept. 2 to 9, accumulated just
D, 5,140,000, 600 feet of water During
this period the water level of the
lake rose three feet.
Every time ship is locked through
the canal five and a half million
cubic feet of water must pass and
when the lake is full it will afford
enough water to fill the locks $50
times daily, which it as least twice as
fast as the ships can pass. When the
surface of the lake reaches its maxi
mum hight of 81 feet above sea level
with the water just flowing over the
crest of the DAM it will contains the
enormous amount of 192,250, ,000,0 900
cubic feet of water.

Special Sailors for Navy Review.

An opportunity to be a sailor in
the United States navy for a period
OF 10 days and to take part in the
naval review at New York next
month is offered to sailors by the
government This is said to be the
first time in the history of the navy
that citizens have been allowed to
become bona fide members of a bat
tie ship crew without enlisting for a
term OF years.
The circular letter sent out by the
navy department asks for 1000 men
for the Today period. The principal
reason for the demand for these short
term enlistments is that the ships
have only skeleton crews and must
have more men to get to New York.

ALL ELIGIBLE
MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF TAX.
PAYERS RESULTS FROM
CONFERENCE.
ALL WAS SERENE AND ACTION
OF MILD FORM.
Declaration of Principles Do Not
Leave Room for Any Sort of
Disputes to Arise.

with a membership of $50, includ
ing all OF the delegates to the state
TAX conference, the Michigan Taxpay
ers association was organized in the
closing moments of the conference
Thursday afternoon in the Detroi,
common council chamber. All tax
payers are eligible to membership
and 1t is planned to make the asso
cation strong force for good, just
as slmllar organizations have become
IL New York and other states.
10 remedy matters of taxation the
plan suggested is the Wisconsin law,
which bases the average rate on the
cash value of all property in the
state as fixed by the tax commission
instead of using the valuation on
which taxes are actually paid as a
basis. The Michigan state board of
equalization last year clipped $780,
O00,00O from the cash valuation as
nXed by the tax commission. Had
this S6OO,O00,000 been left in the bud.
get for purpose of figuring the aver
age rate, the railroad tax rate would
nave been reduced from $21 per 81 600
10 Sl2, resulting in a decrease OF al
most half in the railroad tax levy.
Inc resolution Of the conference
on this point is as follows:
Inc Michigan tax commission is
at this time spending approximately
$4,000 per year, the major portion
OF which goes for the support of a
iorce which is engaged in the work of
increasing the assessed valuation OF
the general property of the state. In
It's last analysis, this work results in
the reduction OF the average rate of
taxation, which is the rate applied to
the property of public service cor
Eorations under the law. Serious con-
sideration ought to be given, both to
the cost OF this work and the results
obtained, to the end that. if inquiry
proved it advisable, some better
method may be adopted In this con.
nection consideration should be given
to the method now prevailing in Wis
consln, where the average is deter
mined by the tax commission from
the actual value of the entire prop
erty or the state, as determined by
that board, without special regard to
the value as locally assessed"
The resolutions similarly recon-
mend a consideration of the advisa-
bllity of fixing a lower maximum rate
Tor assessment of personal credits.
Outside of these points the para.
graphs confine themselves to a gen
eral discussion of taxation. recon-

AS an instance of the care with which
all questions of possible dispute we're
touched on, no mention was made OF
the corporate excess plan proposed
this year by special tax commission
The only part of the resolutions
which could be construed as touching
this subject is as follows:
With regard to the course to be
pursued relative to proposals for rad
ical changes in our tax law, the con-
ference believes that such proposals
should be given very careful and lei.
