Do not be alarmed and go in
to spasms because you hear
that some one is talking. about
you, on the slam BAN order.
People have always said ugly
things about their superiors es-
peeially those who struggle to
be and are going onward and
upward and achieving success.
Those against whom there is
nothing said are mighty small
persimmons. People talk about
those who are doing something
worth while. Just YOU go ahead

EoN RIVER TO INCORPORATES

Along with the adoption OF the
special assessment plan for making
local improvements there is more ia
vorable talk in outlying districts for
annexation TO Iron River and incor-
porating all of the annexed territory
and village into city.
The annexation OF the many popu-
lous districts that are separated from
the village of Iron River by nothing
more than an imaginary boundary line
and incorporating the whole into a
city, would give the bulk OF the pop
ulation of Iron River district many
municipal advantages and at the same
time increase the prestige of the
West Side in county affairs.
At the present time the West Side
has only two members on the county
board Of supervisors while Crystal
Falls township alone has four by yir-
tue of Crystal Falls being incorpor-
ated as city and divided into wards.
There ale three wards in Crystal
Falls and each ward is entitled to one
supervisor. and an additional supervi-
SkIis given for the township outside
thex9ity limits Added to these four
from the one township the three from
Mansfield. Hematite and Mastodon
townships, and the East Side has a
representation of seven members on
the board. Bates township is in the
middle Of the county SO its member
OF the county board may not be class
ed with either side
The bulk of the population of the
entire county is in Iron River and
Stambaugh townships. and these two
townships pay more taxes than all the
remainder OF the county combined.
yet this district has only two supervi-
sors on the county board. The only
way this representation may be equal
lied is by incorporating the congested
districts of the West Side into one
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1916-01-08

city, divided into wards, thus giving
each ward a supervisor in addition to
the two supervisors now representing
the two townships.
The city could be so divided as TO
give each subdivision OF the West
Side ward and ward councilman. so
that all would have equal jurisdiction
in municipal affairs.
The principal drawback TO annexa-
ton in outlying districts has been the
question of taxation. Iron River has
been gradually accommodating heavier
debt each year because the general
fund was not sufficient to keep pace
with needed and necessary local inn
provements, unless taxes were boost
ed sky-high. The old method has been
tenaciously chung to by few, but the
great majority OF the people OF the
village have fought for nearly two
years 70 make a change, and the de-
feating Of the bond issue last Monday
was their final victory.
The old method must now go and a
new order of things substituted, a
system inaugurated to place improve
ment taxation upon the property bene-
fitted This lifts the general tax
burden and has paved the way for an
nexation OF additional territory and
the incorporation of the district into
one city giving the residents of each
locality absolute control over the i'm
provements and expenditures that
effect their own property.
1t is agreed by everyone that 1t is
only matter of time until the Iron
River district will necessarily be-
come one city. and the permanent
adoption OF the district improvement
plan in Iron River is long step to-
wards realizing such improved muni-
, cipal advantages for all the people.

Present Submarine Risks

A cable dispatch from London an
nounces that the British Governments
War Risk Insurance Office has raised the
rate on British vessels to 40 shillings per
cent voyage. 1t may be assumed that 1t IS
possible at present TO estimate risks pretty
accurately. and there will be rejoicing in
Germany at this unfeigned testimony to
the success of recent submarine activity,
if indeed further testimony we're needed.
In the early days of the war, when it
was impossible to determine the chances
of capture or destruction with any GER
tainty. the government made wonder
fully accurate forecast Of events, but that
was before the submarine war had really
begun. II vas assumed too soon, how
ever. that the menace had been overcome,
and false hopes were raised by tempo
rary decline in the destruction Of ships
about the British coast. The later sub
marines are more efficient than the older
ones, and the daily lists Of losses show
that the peril has increased instead of de-
Ginning
Accurate conclusions cannot indeed be
drawn from insurance rates. which are al
ways more or less speculative. In the
early days Of the Franco-German War
risks on German ships we're taken at very
low rates, sometimes, it is said. even at >
shillings per cent. yet some Of the under
writer's who had taken German war risks
at this rate were glad to sell them at 50
rather than hazard great losses. II may.
however, be supposed that the govern
ments rates have not been determined by
panic. but by clear recognition Of the
perils which the former government ap-
peared TO be unwilling to admit.

Was Not a Matter of Choice

MiNnf4rWNN
In New York the other evening Lindley 81.
Garrison, recently Secretary Of War, said "a
thing which. no matter how obvious IL Is,
cannot be driven too often or too forcefully
into tbs minds OF the men o. America. One
Of the most serious dangers which confront
the nation, he stated is the agitation (which
Utilities the natural and universal adherence
OF war a. a reason for not preparing for its
possibilities"
Here, in few words, point o. vital i'm
portance Is made in a telling fashion. We
are a peaceful nation and DO not desire war.
We do not want fleet or an armed land
force as a means Of making war upon any
ether nation. large or small. Our good sense
and love Of peace make this quite impos-
s.ble. But, no matter what our intentions
and sentiments may be, we may nevertheless
be forced into war at any time IN the future.
The choice is not with US alone IL is within
the power of any other nation 10 declare war
and make war upon us.
War thus forced upon Us would necsssitate
resistance OH our psrt-no other course would
be conceivable or possible. Successful re
sistance cannot be made without an adequate
feet and an adequate land force.
Readiness for defence reduces the posi-
bility Of war. IN the first instance. and it les
sens the danger Of national disaster and Of
useless sacrifite OF life in case war should
cventuate against our will
