cision in the wet and dry fight that ia

of the city oT Escanaha, the petition
present ID 10 the county board was in
three parts from each division in stead
of being in one petition. These three
parts had been posted side 10y side as
the law requires,
When the petitions were presented
10 the county board OF supervisors
that body rejected them on the ground
that the law says the names OF the
electors from each precinct shall be
presented upon one petition. The
presenting of the names on three peti-
tions was not in strict accordance with
she statute and the board refused to
order the election.
The drys then Appealed TO the circuit
court for mandamus. Judge Flan-
ngan heard the arguments and last
Tuesday rendered decision that the
board was within it's right in reject
ing the petitions and refusing to order
te election ON the ground that the
number OF names presented TO IL on
regular petitions was not sufficient
The decision Is important In view Of
the fact that several other counties are
figuring ON contest in the spring and

CALLED A MEETING
Local Taxpayers Association Sug-
gests One For Fighting Tonnage Tax

A circular was issued by the officers
OF the local taxpayers association dur
ing the week, calling a meeting of local
taxpayers from all over the mining
sections TO protest against the tonnage
tax and TO form permanent organiza-
tion If necessary TO carry ON the fight
This action comes wholly without
any advice or request from the mining
companies and is in the form OF self
protection movement OF the small tax
payers who recognize that II the tom
mage tax becomes law. many of the
opportunities that they enjoy now
must be- cut off and greater pro
portion OF the taxes will eventually
fall upon them. The date OF December
10th is suggested and the "lace Mar
quette. The holding of the meeting
derends upon the number of favorable
eplies received by the association.
In this connection many of our
people do not realize that the local
association won the contest which il
carried on for three years for an ad-
justing OF the values between the
different kinds Of property in this
assessing district Twenty per cent
was deducted from the valuations OF
last year which will relieve the tax
payers very materially in this city.

SUSPENSION OF PUPILS
The Supreme Court Decision Concern
ing Suspension of Pupils is Given

: The Department of Public Instruo-
tion is often asked questions in regard
TO the suspension OF pupils. The school
law gives TO the district board the
right to authorize or order the suspen-
sion or expulsion from the school of
any pupil guilty of gross misdemeanor
or persistent disobedience. In such
cases the teacher has the authority TO
suspend guilty pupil temporarily
until the board can take action on tho
matter, The Supreme Court has held
that 1t is necessary that pupil be
guilty Of criminal act before he can
be suspended or expelled fom school.
He must be guilty Of some maliciols
or wilful act OF detrIment to the school
and the misconduct must be gross,
something more than petty or trivial
offense against the rules. or he must
be persistent IN his disobedience of the
proper and reasonable rules and
regulations OF the school. A pupil
cannot be expelled for careless act, no
matter how negligent, If il is not
wilful or malicious.
