Mr. Reed opened his argument for
the steel corporation with a tribute
to Andrew Carnegie, named as an IN
dividual defendant, for his philan
thropic work He said Mr. Carnegie
IN selling his interests to the steel
corporation did not have in mind any
mOnopolistic intent upon the part Of
the corporation and that he disposed
IF his ownership in the Carnegie
company to unhurden himself of the
heavy weight of business cares and
to devote his time and fortune to help
his fellowmen.
Mr. Reed resented the govern
mcnts Characterization Of Mr.. Carne-
gle AS conspiratG to monopolize
the steel business and restrain trade.
He extended figures to show that the
steel corporations business is not
growing as rapidly as that of indie
pendents. lie also comhatted the gov
ernment's contention that the steel
corporation had monopolstic con-
troll of the ore reserves Of the Lake

Drivers are having lot of trouble
lately in night driving and that Sc
rious accidents have not occurred is
due largely to the efficiency of brakes
and prompt action on the part of the
man at the wheel of the motorcar.
Automobile owners are stirred to bit
ter condemnation by the failure of
other road vehicles to carry lights
when they are repeatedly punished in
court for failure to be properly illum-
mated. Even in the city they claim
the horse drawn vehicle should be
made to show some kind of a light

the safety OF all other classes of traf-
fic."

opment Bureau is arranging to exhibit
again this year, and hopes to have
much finer showing of fruit than was
made for the Western Michigan coun-
try at last years meeting. The apples
are supposed to be picked on August
l, and are to show the condition of
the fruit at that time. Of course only
summer apples are near mature at
that time. The judges, however, will
take these facts into consideration
and judge the fruit according to quail
ity, size and color for August /.
Quality counts so points in Judging,
size 40 points, and color but 10 points.
The small number of points for color
avoids the advantage which the south
ern states would otherwise have be-
cause of their fruit reaching maturity
at any early date.
Many Western Michigan fruit grow
ers have designated trees in their
apple orchards for the purpose of Civ
ing these trees the best of care. in
the hopes of producing fruit that will
be far above the average. In a num-
Der of cases experiments are being at
tempted in the hopes of getting fruit
to mature at an earlier date than is
usually the case. The big fertilizer
manufacturers of the country are
helping in these experiments, they
having contributed several tons of
commercial fertilizer which is being
worked into the ground beneath Sc
lected trees. This fertilizer is sup
posed to contain the elements neces-
sary to bring the apples to quick ma
turity. This experiment is being
tried by thirty-odd fruit growers,
these growers being located in the
different parts of the territory.

All Vehicles Should
Cary Light At Night

The state ) urual published a.
article last week, which should ~
given more than passing thou"ht
by all who are required to be out or
the highways at night, 1t reads: In
spite Of the fact that the farmer vote
in the last legislature was responsible
for killing the provision in the auto
mobile law compelling all vehicles to
carry lights the farmer owes it to
himself to equip his buggy or wagon
with some kind of light for night
travel.
There was a time not so long ago
when the glare of headlights from an
approaching automobile drove every
horse-drawn vehicle to the roadside
and in the clear. But as the motor ne
came more common the panic caused
by the bounding, binding lights wore
off and today many drivers stick to
the road at night as they do in the
daylight. The result is that many &C
cidents occur or are narrowly averteo.

State Will Be Assessed

counties and placing the assessments
on a cash basis.
The countie which were appraised
by the commission follow: Charlie
vOix, Gogebic, Iron, Baraga, Mar
quette, Dickinson, Bay, Saginaw
Genesee, Allegan, lngham, Oakland
Jackson, Berrien, Grand Traverse and
losco.
Commissioner Barnes today highly
commended the action of the law
makers in passing the bill which is
assisting the commission to a great
extent.
THE last Legislature, recogniz-
ing that the supervisors were sworn
to assess at cash values greatly in
creased the powers and duties of the
tax commission by passing the law
which declares that the tax commits
sion shall supervise and assist super
visors to the end that their assess
ments shall be at cash value" saiC
Commissioner Barnes.
Under this law the commission or
gained a plan to assist supervisors
1T placed its entire force Of exam
iners-50 IN all-at the disposal OF
the supervisors of the state. 1t pub
lished a pamphlet on cash value as
sessments and in other ways assisted
the local assessing officer.
The reult has far exceeded the
best hopes of the commission. lh(
81 eat majority of the supervisors en-
tered into the spirit Of cash value as
easements and the report which
come hourly to the commission show
that rs per cent of the territory not
before reassessed by the commission
and not including Kent and Wayne
counties, has been put up to approx
imately cash value by the supervisors
themselves. In Kent county reassess-
ment is now being made by the tax
commission and large force of our
field men has been at work In Wayne
county since last December. 1t is safe
TO say that the new program has
pushed the time for cash values
ahead four years. Another year the
uneven assessments left can be ad-
iusted and then cash value assess
ment will prevail over the entire
state.
Where ever the supervisors have
honestly and heartily entered into the
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-07-04

spirit of cash value assessments the
tax commission will not reassess those
townships but will endeavor to ascer-
tain how near cash value the super
visors have got. The commission will
recommend the amounts it thinks the
supervisors differ from the commIs-
sion's idea and will ask those town
ships to be increased by the county
boards at the equalization sessions.
This will be done on the promise that
the assessments the next year shall
be brought up to the full sum by the
supervisors"

Being Placed on Cash Basis.

Within one year the en-
tire state of Michigan will be assessed
on a cash valuation basis, according
to o. F. Barnes, one Of the three state
tax commissioners. Nineteen counties
have been appraised by the commits
sion and at present the assessments
in the other counties are being placed
on a cash basis by the commissioners
by supervision of the assessments OF
the supervisors throughout the state.
This was made possible by action of
the legislature at the last session and
as a result the work of boosting the
assessments of all property in the
state to its cash valuation will be
completed four years sooner than was
anticipated two years ago when the
commission began appraising various

Abolish The MurderOus Toy Pistol

The Michigan Monthly Bulletin
says: 1t is well at this time, just
before the Fourth of July, to take a
stitch in time" in the way of proven
ton rather than TO be obliged to
mourn the fatal results a few weeks
later of the unrestricted use of that
pernicious enemy of the patriotic
American youth, the deadly, treach-
erous blank-cartridge toy pistol.
Some cities have passed ordinances
upon this subject. 1t is well to pass
them and to enforce them. There is
also a general State law which has
been on the statute books for nearly
thirty years, which appears TO cover
the subject pretty thoroughly:

of Toy Pistols.

The fact is the lights of the more
modern cars are directed upon the
road and do net light up the entire
countryside. They are designed to
help the driver pick the highway for
the tires Of his car. 1t is not unusual
now for the man at the wheel to find
dust-covered buggy confronting him
less than fifty feet ahead. Then
comes the emergency brake applica-
ton, the Shrek of sliding shoes and
the hiss of a skiding car. If there is
no crash it is simple good fortune, but
only too frequently there is a crash
~" sometimes it carries death ana
injury.
There need never be any highway
collisions between automobiles and
other vehicles if every rig carried some
kind Of light. 1t is not necessary to
equip every buggy and every wagon
with headlights. A lantern is suffi-
cient. Just a light. One little CLEAN

ton of the court.
Section 3. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person under the age of thirteen
years, TO have in possession, or use
any of the articles named in section
one Of this act.

doubtedly have saved many Of the
more unfortunate victims who annual
ly succumb in Michigan to one of the
most horrible deaths known " med

scene was the elimination OF weeks OF

dent Wilson to the little boys plea.
Paralyzed in limb and with his life
slowly ebbing away. Harry Winthrop
Davis OF Sewicsley. Pa, was the presi-
dents early caller. He came In a motor
ambulance and three hospital attenda nts
bore him into the White house to the
blue room. The president came and
cha tied for several minutes with the little
fellow, whose eyes beamed with JOY and
who was at first too happy TO speak.
Finally he asked about Mrs. Wilson and
left some flowers for her,
The presidents eyes were dimmed as
he turned away 10 his day of work and
the little boy was carried out on his
stretcber to the ambulance and away to
the railroad station, and on to Atlantic

The visit to the preslden. was arranged
after Mrs. A. l.. Davis. the boys mother
had written Mrs. Wilson telling how her
little boy had been praying to see the
president and how she earnestly hoped
1t might he arranged. She suggested
that the little fellow could be brought
to the White house and the president
promptly gave his consent.
