TO CONSIDER
PROBLEM OF
UNEMPLOYED
Committee to Meet With Calumet
Township Board

A committee consisting OF John w
Black, Henry l.. Baer, Edward Ulseth
and Col j. II. Petermann OF the Cop
per Country Commercial club will meet
tomorrow afternoon with the Calumet
township board for the purpose of con-
sldering the problem OF the finding Of
employment for the men now out of
work In the copper country. Several
plans are under consideration and
these will be presented to the Calu-
met authorities for approval.
The subject of bonding the county
for 100000 with which to build new
roads will be the most important To be
discussed Primarily, the proposed sum
il for the construction OF laterals,
which now are built and maintained
under the direction OF townships In
the event that the bond issue is passed
upon by the taxpayers, IL Is not the in
tention OF the county to maintain the
proposed new roads and this phase of
the subject will be considered at to-
morrow's meeting. During the course
of the next few weeks, the committee
will meet with the boards OF other
townships and the same subject will be
considered.
The Credit Bureau.
Secretary Price OF the Commercial
club reports that plans for the organ
lzation OF credit bureau are pro-
crossing nicely. Two hundred charter
members are enrolled in Houghton,
Baraga and Keweenaw counties.
Road Building Material.
Mr.. Price has received Il commune
cation from the New York State High
way Commission desiring information
IN regard to the road building mater
ial Obtainable in the copper country
The trap rock and stamp sand that
can be secured here is ideal material
for road work and some time ago Sec
rtary Price opened campaign for
the sale OF this material. His efforts
have been successful and many appli-
cations have been received from high
way commissions OF various states.
The New York highway commission
needs considerable trap rock for road
building, provided it can be obtained
at the right price. Efforts are now
being made to secure the informa-
ton and Secretary Price hopes to have
an encouraging announcement in the
near future.
Another Industry.
A communication also has been re-
ceived from one of the largest distill-
ers of which hazel in the world desir-
ing information on the available sup
ply OF black birch in this district. This
information will be furnished imme-
diately and it is expected that fav-
orable reply will be received. The Of
hcials OF the concern desire to locate |
in this district provided they can Sc
cure material for the manufacture of
this product and as there is an album
dant supply OF black birch here, 1t is |
likely the concern will come.

well. Every tax payer should
be in a position where at least
once a year he could visit the
county seat and see for himself
how the affairs of the county
are conducted. The county Of
ficials are the servants Of the
people and the people Of the
county have q right to see what
they are doing. Matters arise,
which the voter wishes to look
into himself at the county seat,
and very often he is compelled
to make the trip to the. county
seat whether he wishes to or not
the expense Of the trip amounts
to more than his taxes on his land
would amount to in several years
These are q few things to be
considered when the county div
ision question is raised. There
is no question but that when
every thinking voter looks into
the matter thoroughly, he will
arrive at but one conclusion and
that is that it would be for his
interest to have the county diyid

MOST UPRIGHT JUDGE"

An honest, upright judiciary

ice is the most precious possession
of the social order. To obtain
it men have given their lives; to
obtain it for their prosperity the!
have counted no sacrifice too
great.
The machinery for obtaining
justice must necessarily be- inn
perfect because it is administer

of US radicals are inclined to
think that our American ma
chinery is much more defective
than it needs to be. We would
establish a system Of checks up
on the encroachments Of this
branch Of our government and
restrain the assumption of undue
power.

and that the general public
would be best served by having
tn county divided. The lines
proposed in the creation OF
Hanna county, will, we believe,
appeal to all as fair and reason
able. It leaves Mclean county
in compact form and a nice lot
of territory and a good assessed
valuation to conduct a county Or.

Pr oposed Division of Mclean County

Move mber 3rd the voters of

proposition to divide Mclean

that will be before the voters

tory and it will be admitted that
there is ample territory to make
up two good sized counties. It
is generally admitted that the
contention for division is fair and
reasonable and the only dispute
is as to what the lines of division
should be. The opposition to
county division in the past has
been more to the lines proposed
than to the proposition Of divis-
ion. It is pretty generally ad-
mitted that there is merit in the
proposition to divide the county

q N DIVISION Is
SURE TO CARRY

The above map showing the
manner in which it is sought to
divide Mclean county at the
coming election in November is
itself one Of the best arguments
for county division that anyone
could present. No fairer division
could possibly be offered for
both the proposed new county
and the old. It can be plainly
seen, by referring to the map,
what ansenormous expense it. is
to the tax payers Of the county
to have processes served from
the county seat to the various
points in the north end Of the
county. Those who fear, that
dividing the county will increase
the taxes, will have only to look
Fat the map to see that the. ex-
of conducting the affairs
Of the county with its present
boundaries is more than double
what it would be If the county
were only half it's present size.
We believe that the two counties
can be run at a less expense than
the present county is.
The superintendent of Schools
is required to make at least three
visits each year to every school
in the county. The expense Of
mileage for a trip from Wash
burn to Dogden would amount to
the school tax levied on a half
section Of land. Every time a
jury is drawn, the expense to
the county is something enor-
nous. Think of-What the mile

Washburn and returning would
amount to, saying nothing OF
the time required in travelling to
and from the county seat. This.
would be cut IN two il the county.
were divided and at the same
time mileage would be PRACTICAL
eliminated for the jurors drawn
from the central part Of the new
county, for where now they are
so miles from the county seat, in
the new county the same juror
would be within a very few miles
Of the county seat. These are
only . few instances where q
great saving would be made for
the county.
Not only should expense be
considered, but convenience as

the wealth of a cultured, ex-
perienced, studious mind brought
to bear upon them. The at
torneys practicing before the
court seem unanimously to agree
that he puts wisdom, conscience
and careful attention into all
his work.
Til is the most honorable po-
s.tion in the state and Judge
Spaulding has proved himself
invaluable in it. There ought to
be no experiment, no changing at
this time. He should be reflect

Of the six different county
