REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.
Enthusiastic and Largely Attended
Gathering.

Republicans of Shiawassee county
with practically every precinct in the
county represented, met at Corunna
Thursday, to elect delegates to the state
convention at Lansing Feb II, and the
gathering was full of interest and en-
thusiasm, and all were of the same
mind that the grand old party is and
has always been right and although
defeated at the national election will
be called again to conduct of national
affairs at the first opportunity.
Joseph FL Collins, chairman of the
county Committee, called the delegates
to order at 2 p. m. and expressed his
pleasure at seeing such large repre-
sentation on one of the coldest days of
the winter, which indicated to him
that the spirit of loyalty so prevalent
in the republican party was as strong
rs ever. He call on G.. F. Friegel Of
Owosso, to preside. In taking the chair
Nr Friegel said it was as great an
homer as ever to preside over republi-
can convection, convention of the
party that had solved all the big prob.
lens of the country for fifty years and
believed that the refusal of some of the
leading republicans like Hadley. La
Toilette and Borah to go with the bolt
ers and the efforts and results to re-
unite the substantial elements of the
party would result in renewal of the
victories of the past 40 years, and al
though it seemed to some that the party
had not taken up all the proposed re-
forms as soon as it should all would
conclude that the party was best to be
trusted with the business of the great
est nation On earth.

Mortgage Tax Law Receipts.

How the mortgage tax law helps the
taxpayer is shown by the following
table of taxes taken ON mortgages re.
corded during the past year by County
Treasurer Frank Rush.
The figures for 1912, complete, are in
teresting: January, $5S2; February.
$715 80; March. 5000 so; April, $1466. co.
May, $1629 so; June: SO 90; July, So 40;
Aug. 1914; Sept. $26s; Oct. s3O6; Nov.
$361; Dec $453 80; total for the year,
$7159 80.
This means tina: about $4,000 was
added to Shiawassee county's revenues
during the past year, which the county
did not heretofore receive, since it is
estimated by those in a position to
know, that eight out of ten mortgages
in the past paid no tax. This year is
starting IN auspicioufly, as the figures
are $792, nearly $500 greater than in
January, 1912.
