School Commissioners
~ Notes
May L. Stewart, Commissioner

The Commissioner is keeping the
machinery going in the County Normal,
the principal, Miss Bates, being called
to Muskegon by very sad telegram.
In few of our counties the commits
sioners teach in the normal for week
or even a month in order to get better
acquainted with prospective teachers
and to give them all possible help for
the coming year, but this is the first
time the commissioner has here taken
full charge of the work-having usually
confined her county normal work to
frequent visits and series OF lectures
on the work OF the rural schools.
81 per cent Of the boys aud girls Of
our land are receiving their education
in our one room rural schools. This
means that 81 per cent of the welfare of
our county is in the hands of the teach
ers Of our little country schools. Is it
any wonder then that out Of pure love
of our country we work with all our
might to make our schools better in the
corner where we are? And isn't it
about time that the public press and the
officials Of our land give due recogni-
ton to the rural school?

Gidley and Crowell. Absent-none.
Minutes of the last meeting were not
read.
The following resolution, proposed by
'the village of Manton, Mich, was offer
ed by Commissioner Crowell, who
moved its adoption; seconded by Com
missioner Gidley.
Whereas, the State Legislature of the
State OF Michigan, in the year 1911,
passed a law exempting Civil War
Veterans from taxation on their homes,
and such exemption has proven to be
unfair and unequitable to the smaller
cities and villages of the state, and has
placed an extra burden upon the small
er cities and villages out of proportion
to that placed upon the larger cities, and

Private Sweets name will be inscrib-

making the supreme sacrifice we know
he will not have died in vain. The

always serve to remind you that in
Democracy's darkest hour he nobly
offered his life in order that liberty and

Again assuring you of my sincere

Yours very truly,

As previously reported in these col
umns, Priyates Harold l.. Sweet and
Albert M. Rebec were killed in action
Oct. 10th, in France. Both soldiers
were with Headquarters Company,
i25th Infy., and were among the old
Company boys.
The Chaplain's letter published here
with, gives the date as Oct. 10th.
LG.ers from overseas indicated it was
el in the month. The letters also
infer that both soldiers were killed by
the same shell.
Private Clifford Hosler, Co. II, l25th
Infy., was officially reported missing
in action. about the time above soldiers
were killed. An unconfirmed rumor
gas to the effect that Private .Hosler
as killed by the same shell, although
this seems improbable.
All three soldiers were East Jordan
boys who grew to manhood in our vi
cinity.- The parents and relatives oi
the deceased soldiers have our heart
felt sympathy, and it is sincerely hoped
that Private Hosler will later be report
ed among the living.

time. When the Americans struck the
line at Chateau Thierry in July, few be-
lieved that the war would end before
Sept. 1919, but in a little over three
months Emperor Wilhelm was flying
his kite for Holland and the Crown
Prince was retiring towards the Rhine,
and the best part of il, Judge, is that a
part OF old 81" Company that was so
active at Fair times, and other occas-
ions there, actually did its part in bring
ing about the end. Altho have been
separated from my old command since
Chateau Thierry, have been in posi-
ton to watch our Z. j. Bunch, and be-
lieve me, they always produced the
goods, two Of them, Rebec and Sweet,
while attached to my Battalion, during
the Argonne Drive, lost their lives.
Others have been decorated by the
French Government, and some will re-
ceive the Distinguished Service Cross.
So, Judge, when the boys return, well
come them as heroes, for such they
surely are. Conditions makes it impos-
sible for me to return with them, but
you may assure the good people OF
East Jordan that have always apprec-
lated their loyalty and have only the
best wishes for each and every one,
who so cheerfully stood by us during
this great war.
Again let me thank you and the
citizens Of East Jordan, for the very
thoughtful kilograms. With kindest
regards to you and yours, l remain
Very sincerely yours,

Whereas, there are now before the
Legislature several bills for the extern
ding of said relief to all soldiers OF all
wars, and il the same are passed in
their present form, il will further bur-
den the smaller cities and villages, and
place further unequal burdens upon
their property holders, 49,
Be II Resolved, That the City of East
Jordan, by its City Commission, re-
quests its representatives in the House
of Representative and in the Senate to
secure an amendment to said law as
now passed and to the bills as offered,
so that the burden resulting from such
exemption shall be equal and in the
same proportion in all parts OF the state
and would suggest that the law be so
amended that the soldiers SO exempted
should be required to pay their tax in
the regular manner, and that the Audi
tor General or State Treasurer be re-
auired to refund to said soldier such
tax as such soldier shall be required to
pay, upon the presentation OF the
soldiers tax receipt. Further
Resolved, That unless such. amend
ment is made to the said law as men,
toned or proposed, the City OF East
Jordan, with the smaller cities and vii
lagos Of the state, will proceed to test
the constitutionality Of the law as in
force, and endeayor to have the same
declared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court of the State of Michigan.

WOMFN USING WAR
MACHINE TO KILL
JOHN BARLEYCORN
Council of Defense Becomes
First Women's Political Club
in Michigan.

Lansing, Mich, Feb'y lOth.-The
Women's Council of Defense, built up
during the war to mobilize Michigan s
woman-power on the side of democ-
racy, proposes in East Lansing, at least
to remain on the job, and to use at the
polls in April the tricks Of organization
il learned while engaged in war work.
The college city council has overnight
become the nucleus OF political club
to instruct women in their new duties
of citizenship and to coach them on how
to register and vote. incidentally,
while refusing to endorse candidates,
or to ally itself with any political party
the club is taking stand upon issues
and is assisting in lining up the fem
inine forces within the city for a fight
against the adoption of the proposed
wine and beer amendment to be SUBJ
mitted at the spring election.
The city has been divided by the
women into number of divisions, just
as was done for war work, but where
formerly the housewife and mothers
met and busted themselves with knit.
ting socks and making bandages, they
convene now to learn when and where
to register and how to mark their bal
lots. Tea and waters help to make the
functions more informal and sociable.
AS result Of the first meetings of the
East Lansing club, more than wo-thirds
Of the college city's eligible feminine
voters have already registered for the
April election.

Democrats, or championing one can

Mrs. Myra Bogue, chairman of what is
probably Michigan's first women's po-
litical club, "but we are interesting
ourselves in issues. We intend, for
one thing, to fight the proposed beer
and wine amendment. The men OF
Michigan voted liquor out. We propose
to see that II stays out-and we are ap-
pealing to every woman in Michigan to
register and vote for that reason, il for
no other"

Income Tax To-
Be Paid Soon
March 18th Is Time Fixed on
Which 1t Must Be In.

That there will be no general extern
sion OF time beyond March 18th for the
filing of returns and for the payment of
Income and Excess Profits taxes due on
that date, is the decision OF Daniel C.
Roper, Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue. The announcement was
made today by Collector Emanuel j.
Doyle Immediately following the ap-
proval by the Senate and House of the
report of the conferees on the new
Revenue Bill.
"A financial emergency makes it
necessary to get the initial tax pay
ments in by March 18th" says Commits
sioner Roper. mo other course is pos
sible. Some months ago, in the EN-,
ergency OF financing the war, the
Treasury issued certificates of indebt-
edness to an amount approximating
$500, 600, 900, maturing March 18th. The
first payment of the Income and Excess
Profits Taxes for 1918 was planned for
that date, to meet this huge obligation.
"The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great to
be met and solved by cooperation. This
present situation is another emergency
which can be overcome by cooperative
effort. The Bureau extends its every
force toward this end, and am relying
upon the people to meet the situation
whole-heartedly.
"The Internal Revenue Bureau must
carry out the programme prescribed in
the new law, which requires all returns
for 1918 to be filed on or before March
18th, 1919, and requires the first quar-.
terly payment to be made on or before
that date.
Every taxpayer who can possibly do
so is urged to make full payment Of his
income tax on or before March 18th.
The quarterly payment method is in
tended for taxpayers whose financing
OF the tax at one time would tend to up,
set local financial condition. -~-r~----
"The approval of the report OF the
conferees by the Senate and House OF
Representatives brings the new Re-
venue Bill to the point where it may be
said to be law. The Internal Revenue
Bureau has been making preparations
to collect the taxes which it provides,
and is now putting all OF its efforts into
aiding the taxpayers to fulfil the obli-
cations imposed.
The Bureau has arranged to send an
advisory force of several thousands of
deputies and agents to assist taxpayers.
These officers will be stationed at con-
venient points where they may be con-
suited without charge. Taxpayers
should take the initiative and get in
touch with these Revenue men for any
needed advice and assistance in prepar.
ing returns.
"The forms for the tax returns are
being printed and all forms will be in
the hands of Collectors between Feb
ruary 18th and March l."

II must be hard to be unhappy on a
million year.
This world may be "a sea Of tears as
some Of the sob folks say, but there's a
lot Of Joy floating around on top Of the
sea.
Probably more persons gain success
by stepping around obstacles in their
path than by climbing over them, but il
doesn't sound well to say so.
Mind may or may not control matter,
but II you think it does and you die for
your belief, it means that something
was the matter with the matter.
