Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it,
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part Of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick Of the rub
ber They bought-before the advance $780,
900 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to us.
And it means practicallyall Of the e1tra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,

chief sources Of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured Of constant supply, and our pick Of

state Expected to Heat Capitol.
The Michigan Power company, the
Lansing connection OF the Common
wealth interests. will appear at the
meeting OF the board OF state auditors
In an attempt to come back" on heat
ing the capitol.
Prior to this time a year ago the
company heated the capitol, but last
year It put In bid for renewal at q
fat rate of $4,000. The board turned
the bid down and last winter the
state heated the big building itself
Although there was considerable ex-
penditure for equipment of the heat
ing plant. the states bill was little
more than $1,000. Now the company
offers to heat the capitol on sliding
scale, but will not go above $500. As
1t is legislative year and the two
legislative halls needing heat all win
ter. the maximum will probably be
reached.
Unless the unforeseen occurs, the
state will continue to do it's own heat
ing. Superintendent Pierce of the
building has already contracted for
the coal necessary at very low price.

Steps toward the immediate COM

the purchase of the additional lands
necessary for the capitol will prob
ably be taken by the state capitol
commission at its next meeting.
There is but SIS, 900 in the capitol
fund, but the commission will issue
warrants, drawing ) per cent interest,
20 pay for the work. 1t is believed
that these warrants can be retired
within a few years by the sale of cap
itol granted lands. They will be sim
ply a lien against the lands, and no
money will have to be raised by di-
rect taxation to pay either the princi-
pal or the interest, SO completion of
the building will not in any way raise
taxation, but, in fact, will, by causing
the sale of the granted lands, place
more property on the tax rolls.
