PROVIDE SAME PENALTY
FOR WE'LL AND GOODE
In particular the report recommends
mat commissioner We'll and C;oodo re-

peen guilty OF indiscrect conduct. while
MT. Goode is charged with misfoasance

Among the other important recon-
mcndattons of the report is one adj
visinE that the Representatives Police
Board be abolished and that a single
Police Commissioner he substituted in
It's place. This recommendation has
met with wide approval among mem
perS OF the Council and VIII probably
he approved. If the resolution looking
to the change is not actually passed
by the board. it will probably be re-
ferred to the newly created Charter
ChanEe Committee for it's considcra-
ton along with the other proposed
charter reforms.
Another suggestion from the police
investigating committee is that the Po-
ice Department be reorganizcd on a
thrce -platoon basis. so that no ma
trolman Will work longer than an
eight hour day. Among those who arc
strongly in favor OF such n reform ar,
Councilman Edgar b. English. of CLAY

has the Endorsement of Police Commits
sioner w. Douglas Gordon. who gave
his unqualified approval to the three

Pay Your Taxes.

Taxes do not give the average man
much Joy. He would rather not have
to pay them. But taxes are necessary
even If they do not inspire pleasure. If
we do not pay them, we have to pay in
other ways. If we do not pay for
government we have to pay for anarchy.
and If we do not pay for education. W
have to pay for illiteracy.s If money is
not provided for sanitation and improved
social and economic conditions. payment
has to be made for filth, destitution and
misery. Doubtless some taxes are un-
necessary and some others may be too
high but the principle holds good that
government, law and order, progress
and the public veal. are possible only
as money is provided for that purpose.
It may be expensive, but it pays.

provision for the dsg when the last
giant tree shall hays been felled and the
last piece Of timber s'run" through the
mill.
Several years ago even the most
optimistic were free to admit that the
life Of northern Michigan cities would
be just as long % the life Of the lumber
industry-no longer. It was believed
that the white pine lands were practic-
ally useless for agricultural purposes,
and it was not thought that industries
would be willing TO locate SO far from
the transportation center. The fallacy
Of this belief is shown il. the heart Of a
great mining region where new indus
tries are now seeking locations. If
anyone attempted to predict twenty
five years ago that farming in the
copper region Of this state could be
made a profitable industry, most people
would have thought him insane. The
prizes won by copper country potatoes
at the recent state potato exhibit in
the lower peninsula shows the possibil-
tiles Of our resources.
The colonization agent expressed the
belief that actual experience has proven
lands in the northern part Of the state
are adaptable for the raising Of large
number Of paying crops. County ag-
riculturists are being engaged to edu-
cate the farmer along scientific lines,
how he can procure the best results and
If the right kind Of farmers can be
induced to settle on the lands, there is
little question about the future Of the
region, from the agricultural point of
view.

FARM COMMUNITIES
ARE PROSPERING.

Il 10 believed . census Of the upper
peninsula rural district to-day would
show twice the number of farmers that
it boasted decade ago. This state
ment may seem somewhat broad, but
is based entirely on information fur
nished by ]. H. Jasberg and other
authorities in the Upper Peninsula
Development Bureau, the South Shore
road and other interests that have been
instrumental in throwing open to the
public thousands of acres of land for
farming purposes in the last few years.
''The upper peninsula is not making
the mistake that its southern peninsula
friends made and permit the cities north
of the straits to suffer the same fate
that has fallen to practically every
other section of the country when the
lumber industry has completed its
work, " said Mr.. Jasberg in an interview
at Houghton. Mr.. Jasberg, as colon
ization agent for the South Shore, has
been instrumental in inducing hundreds
Of people to become interested in farm
ing, and last fall established'a colony on
Point Abbey near Pequaming.
"Our attention is now centered on
locating a colony some distance from
Iron Mountain on lands that have not
been visited except by cruisers and
hunters since the timber was removed, "
said Mr.. Jasberg. 1T is not proposed
to wait peacefully until the end has

It is . yellow carnation. This new
bloom, the yellow prince. |" was de-

been successful with its growth. But
Mr.. York's Chassell greenhouses seem
