Means Much to Republicans.

Republican leaders in Washington
claimed distinct advantage from the
decision handed down by the supreme
court in the grandfather clause"
cases from Oklahoma and Maryland.
The effect. 1t was said, would be to
reinvest with suffrage large number
OF negro voters In many of the south.
ern and border states where restric.
tive laws now held to be invalid have
been In operation to exclude the me-
groes from the polls. In Oklahoma,
West Virginia, Maryland. Virginia and
Kentucky the gain to the Republicans
probably will be material.

PROMISES NOT KEPT
Figures Show Failure Of Demo

Removal Of TarIm Duties Has Beer

Has Resulted In Increasing
the Cost Of Living.

Destroy the protective tariff and
the high cost Of living will be re-
duced automatically" This was the
principal issue. virtually the only u.
sue. on which the Democratic party
sought return to power In 1912. It
was slogan that appealed to the
crowds. The people Of the country
were enjoying better wages than ever
before, but they were paying high
prices for food. Since there was no
suggestion that the loss of protection
would mean the loss of employment
also. large number Of the people
voted for what they thought would
mean q lower cost of living.
More than two years and half
have passed since the people voted for
the removal of protection and the low.
ering of the cost Of living. A major.

who favored q continuation of the
protective policy. but because the ma
Jorfty divided their votes between two
protectionist candidates the solid vote
OF the minority. constituting a plu-
rality, carried the day.
Two years ago the protective tariff |
was destroyed. Yet the trend Of the
cost OF living is still upward. Prices
are higher now than they were under |
the much-maligned Payne-Aldrich law.
For 10 articles which are served on
the table of the workingmen of the
United States the average price for /
the year 1914 was 2 per cent higher
than in 1913. And the average price
was Sh per cent higher than In 1912.
The figures which show the steady
increase, despite the fact that 6.1 per
cent OF all imports are now coming
N free, are not the result of any COM
from Republican sources, but
ire the official result Of an investi.
cation made by the department of la.
DOT under the present administration.

Iron ore Assessments Reduced.

~" S'o Nsocsomcnto HeouCeo.
The iron mines of Michigan are
worth this year for taxable purposes
$Ss.757.607. which $1.S14.50S less thar
last year.
The tentative assessment figures
as procured by the tax commission In
conjunction with State Geologist Allen
were made public. The drop is caused
chiefly by the fact that last year the
price OF iron ore was the lowest in
years. The assessment figures are
based on the average price for five
years preceding the assessment and
one years low price brings down the
average considerably BY counties the
mines are valued as follows: Goge.
bic, $34.572.115; Iron, $2O,S56,919;
Dickinson. s5.9O6.443; Marquette, $685.
616.453.
In addition to the low price for ore
last year assessments were greatly
lowered on two mines. The Republic
mine last year was assessed at ST..
l10,299 Since then the mine, with a
lot OF timber land adjoining and which
did not go into the mine assessment,
has been sold for 100000. Figuring
on the timber land and other prop
erty, which did not go into the assess
ment, this years figure on the Repub-
lie is but 100000.
The Pewablc mine, at Iron Noun.
tain. also is much lowered. Last year
1t was valued at $47S,0OO, while this
year 1t is assessed at 5000 al
though ore standing in the yards Is
placed at $4,000.
All figures include only the ore and
equipment, no hospitals or other prop
critics being included.
According to the 1915 figures, the
largest single property assessment is
the Norr group, at Ironwood, consist
ing Of several distinct mines, grouped
by the operators. They are assessed
at $14,S45.000. The largest single mine
assessment is the Newport at $S,O74,-
900.
