The following ruling was made by
the state board of education at the
meeting of January 81. 1914: Moved,
and carried that a required course in
penmanship be established in each of
the state normal school beginning July
1. 1914. and no student shall be excus-
ed from taking the course unless an
exceptional penman. A new course
in penmanship is being arranged by
Supt. +. l.. Keller for the district

placing unusual stress on drill in this
subject. This statewide movement

State Hunters Must Pay Tax

A bill will be introduced at the next
session of the state Legislature by
members of the Michigan Sportsmen' 5
association TO provide that all resident
hunters, except deer and beaver hunt
ers, more than II years old, pay fee
of 81, and that nonresident hunters be
taxed $40
This action was decided upon at
the meeting OF the association recently
when the present license law was con-
sidered inefficient. IL is proposed that
the receipts from the licensing shall
be paid over TO the state treasurer to
be used exclusively in the protection
and propagation of game and fish.

on of Saginaw, the members Of the
commission went on record as favor

In this instance Charles Hoyt of

1.-THE specific reference TO primary
election and to cities removes any
possible doubt a. TO whether OF not the
measure was intended TO apply TO cleo
tions Of the character suggested
says Mr.. Fellows.
Tne opinion is a long one. but il Is
passed chiefly on the intention ofthe
legislature
Mr.. Fellows takes the position that
the legislature intended, as is set forth
in the title ito purify the ballot.
and for that reason argues that every
election in the state shall be covered
by the act.
THE purpose of the measure clearly
appears. Ii was intended to limit
campaign expenses Construed to-
gether the provisions OF the measure
require that all expenses shall be re-
ported, either by the candidate or by
the treasurer of the political committee
acting in his behalf, and in order that
such accounts ana statements shall
contain all the campaign expenses OF
the particular candidate, il is provided
in substance, that no one may contri-
butte any money for the campaign ex-
cept TO the candidate or his committee.
IL is obvious that any Interpretation
other than this would nullify. TO a

pose Of the act and would rather rem

be imposed b. the first section upon

Attorney General Fellows has rend-

TAX ON MANY INCOMES
Returns from the Upper Peninsula Exceed
Expectations

Belated returns are still coming in
to the income tax department of the
revenue office but neither number
nor amount will reach the earlier
expectations Of the income tax collec-
tors.

Com missioner Osborne compelling se-

cd that the number of individuals in
the Fourth district of Michigan COM

coed ., 500. The district embraces all
of the upper peninsula and about half
of the lower peninsula.
The returns from the Lake Superior
country exceeded expectations. There
are number of individuals in the
upper peninsula affected by the law,
and some of the incomes are surpris-
ingly large. The mining aud lumber
corporations are expected 10 exceed all
others in the size of their respective
taxes but not the slightest intimation
was given concerning the exact a.
mounts of either
Questionable returns have been had
aside by the inspectors and these in
quisitive men will soon begin calling

Extremely dry weather, innumer-

Comparative absence of East winds

second choice, say for Falconer or
Fawcett Don't lose your vote.
The law is explicit but a lot of
misinterpreters of the law who in
cumber election boards tumble it
somewhat. Under the law ballots
which are not marked for first and
second choice, wherever a second
choice is demanded by a plainly
printed line advising the voters,
must be thrown out. Congressman
Humphrey estimated four years a
go that he lost 5000 votes in King
County alone because of the ABB
sence of second choice voting and
he probably was well within the
actual total number of election
officials, however, are careless. a
fact easily demonstrated because the
total of first and second choice
votes never agree. They should
and this may be the first year when
they will.
When the second choice scheme
went into general use it was the
Republican party alone which suf-
fered and there did not appear to
be much Democratic sorrow express
sed for the Republican woes. In
the first campaign, S. G. Cosgrove
was second choice candidate for
governor; Marion E. Hay was
creation of the second choice bal
loting and acted as governor for
four years because Republican vot-
ers did not know where else to
dunn their second choice votes; w.
P. Bell drifted into the attorney
generals office and out of it and
onto the bench because of the Sec
ond choice provision. These and
other peculiarities of the law were
brought rather forcefully TO Re-
publican attention some time ago,
but the startling possibilities OF the
statute are just beginning to dawn
upon Democratic and Progressive
minds.

In the primary election on next

for a progressive or a democratic
candidate for u. S. Senator and
Congressman MUST vote for first

do the vote will be invalidated--
the progressive candidates for U. 5.

In the event that one OF the
candidates receives at least forty

But if no candidate receives forty
per cent of the first choice votes,
the first and second choice votes
