In regard to the theory advanced by
the commission that when ore is found
on any portion OF quarter section
only that piece or parcel known to con-
tain ore is assessed for tho ore. does the
commission hold that the value of the
other three torties in the quarter sec
tion is not enhanced because Of the
proving up of ore on one of them. If
any one of those three forties were
owned by any member of the tax com
mission wonld he not add to its valne
beuause of its location Mt least, not TO
mention the possibility OF the ore con-
tinuing over the liner The proposition
is too simple to admit sof. but one
answer The tax commission = error
comes from wrong theory, that of
measuring value with foot rule or a
tape line

Senator Vinegar. who spent the
Christmas week In the lower peninsula
ventures the prediction that the session
of tho legislature converting yesterday
will be lengthy one. The senator
SAYS that, while away, he met many
members of the Legislature and every
last one proposed TO father from one TO
dozen, bills The. Progressives pro.
pose to be very much in the van and
about every proposition contained in
the national platform will DO covered
Our senator will occupy rather unique
position inasmuch as he has framed no
bulls and has none in mind. However
this does not indicate a lack OF interest
In legislation as a general proposition
He has decided opinions and will find
opportunity TO express them without
hesitation. Besides. II isn't the legis-
lator who places the greater number OF
bills In the hopper who acoomplishes
the most for his constituents And
that is the main thought that Senator
Vinegar has taken with him 20 Lans-
ing, and. Furthermore. he wants his
constituents to advise with him DeeIy

Articles are going the rounds OF the

Tom and Pat were editors and very

They stood around and chewed the rag
for very little reason.
When Independence Day drew near il
cauJed them much vexation;
They searched their tired brains to see
who'd hold the celebration.
And then there came the County
Fair not much was there of that
Tom keptvery quiet and left it all to
Pat
But when election game around the
fight was surely on:
Pat did ana said some awful things
and blamed them all on Tom.

Too Much Legislation" ?

1t is becoming more and more APP
parent that many legislators do not
believe in the constitutional provision
which contemplates that there shall
be only one go day session of the legis-
lature every two years and that special
sessions snail be short and limited Co
the consideration of extraordinary"
business. The great number of long
legislative sessions which have been
held since statehood at Il cost of about
$40 900 per month indicate that many
legislators feel that they have a sort
of divine right to be in session five or
six months every year at $500 per day
In consequence there is much senti-
ment among Democratic members in
favor of a resolution now pending IL
the House, which provides that the
legislature shall not adjourn but shall
simply take recess until October 10th
II is likely that the legislature will re.
main in session until April 28. Many
members have business at home which
requires their attention at this time
but they want to fix il so that they can
come back this fall after the farmers
among them have laid 10y their crops
and after the lawyers have looked after
some law suits demanding attention.
II is frankly stated by the supporters
OF the resolution that they remember
that Governor Cruce has never been
very favorable to the calling of special
sessions. That is why they propose tu
take no chances on the Governor call
ing any special session this fall, aud ST
they propose to simply take a recess
instead of adiourning.
II consideration If this resolution is
pressed 10y the Democrats, it is likely
that Republicans ms counter method
will present resolution submitting

regular session of 80 days every -four
