tion OF the Wayn. delegation. in favor
OF Charles w. Smith, OF Lapeer, whose
selection was made unanimous. AS
the Republican strength in the house
is 95, as compared To five for the
Democrats, selection in the house is
equivalent to election.
To give the thing the best possible
appearance, Rep. Smith was escorted
TO the Wayne caucus in Hotel Dow
ney in the afternoon and informed OF
the delegations action. Rep. Flowers
placed Smith In nomination and Ash
ley supported him moving that the
nomination be made unanimous. On
the surface things were as peaceful
as could be.
But there's another side TO the
story Rep. Smith, after his choice
as speaker Tuesday night. declared
10 close friends that he hadn't prom
ised the Wayne delegation a single
thing and. what's more, didn't intend
to give any more patronage TO the
gang from the metropolis" than he
absolutely had to.

make any statement relative TO the

his candidacy. The statements alleg-

At this distance it is impossible

The visible property of the .:saia
undoubtedly is bearing he burt n
of taxation. An enormous amount
of personal property is csc iplpg
taxation entirely. Rel cetate val
uat',ns may be too high m rne
instances. They may be too ;Jp in
other instances. There are many
inequalities. The law says property
shall be assessed at its fair cash
value. The boards Of equalization
are supposed to increase values
where the assessment is too low and
to lower them if necessary, but
practically all their work consists
in "equaizing upward"
Money has to be provided to meet
the expenses of the State Govern
ment. If the burdens of taxation
were equitably distributed there
would be no ground for protest. The
average citizen is willing to bear his
fair share of taxation, but he does
not enjoy being taxed to the limit
on his property while his nearest
neiShbor. perhaps, is paying taxes
on a valuation of so, 60 or 80 per
cent. The remedy lies in a better
scneme of taxation and a b tier
sySt'm of assessment. No effective
relief is possible in any other way.

A VIGOROUS SPEECH

Mr.. Wilson went to Indianapolis
to make a Jackson Day speech, and
he made it. What he calls "the
compelling influences of the day" are
to be seen in it from beginning to
end. Indeed, one is tempted to say
that the whirligig Of time has put the
present leader of the Democratic
party into the position which the
leaders of the Republican party so
long regarded as peculiarly their
own. 1t is now the Democrats that
have done everything and the Re-
publicans that have had no better
function than that of clogging the
wheels. Apart from all this, how
ever, the President had some very
vigorous things to say about
specific questions, both of party dis
cipine and of public policy. On
the Mexican question Mr.. Wilson not
only stood firmly upon his policy of
"watchful waiting" but reafirmed
with an emphasis that might almost
be called white hot the fundamental
principles ON which that policy was

CINCINNATI ST0CKYARDS

The Cincinnati stockyards were
placed under strict quarantine late
Friday afternoon by DR.. d. C..
Burnett, Of the United States Blu
reau of Animal Industry, following
discovery of the foot and mouth
disease. The outbreak Of the plague
was found in a carload of cattle
shipped into that city from Indian
apolis January 81, and discovery
was made in the inspection of the
stock.
All cattle now in the yards will
be subject to rigid inspection by
Federal authorities and only that
which is found free from the disease
will be permitted to be taken out,
and in these cases delivery can be
made only to local slaughter houses
for immediate killing.
Shipments of cattle into the yards
have been ordered stopped and none
Of the stock now in pens may be
hipped outside.

crocodile tears over Capt. Jack

and moral leper who runs the
scurrilous, venal, unspeakable rag,
the Patriot over at Plunkville, a
creature whose base, degraded ma
ture has made him a portable plague
spot whever he goes. But never
the less, in spite of these infamous
graces of mind and heart, he has
made a State Senator, and it might
be very well for this Senatorial dis
trict to return him to the Seat of
War.

A farmer in this community once
had horse he wanted to sell. Il
was valuable horse and should
have brought a good price. For
months be tried to sell the animal,
but could not find buyer at his
figure. He finally sold il for about
| S25 less than its value, rather than
carry il through the winter.
Now it happened that just across
the line in another county was
another farmer who was looking for
Just such horse, but was unable to
find it. Then he inserted little ad.
in the home paper, which brought
him number Of offers, one Of
which be reluctantly accepted.
The first farmer did not take the
home paper, and of course did not
see the little ad. Of the man who
wanted horse, and who would have
purchased his animal at a good
price.
BY not taking the paper he saved
the subscription price Of 81, and
likewise lost $24 by not seeing the
other fellows ad.
Such occurrences are happening
every week right here in this COM
munity, in which people actually
lose good money because they do
not take their home paper, and hence

them.
