ABOUT REDUCING STATE TAXES

In last weelfs Iron Ore George
Newctt expresses the hope that Alex
Groesbeck, II chosen governor. a re-
suit that Is scarcely In doubt, will
bring about decrease in the tax
budget OF this state. Mr.. Newett adds
that unless Mr.. Newett can bring a
bout some retrenchment whereby the
state tax burden will be reduced the
people will turn to some other man,
probably Mr.. Mott or Mr.. Leland or
some one who will give the state a
business administration"
Sentiments similar to those OF Mr.
Newett have been expressed frequent
ly during the past campaign. too fire.
quently, we believe, for the good OF
the next administration, no matter
who may occupy the governors chair.
It's a mistaken notion that some "big
businessman" can take the helm OF
this state and work wonders in the
way of reducing our state taxes.
Except for the ratio OF decrease in
supplies and labor, we very much
doubt that state taxes will ever be
reduced and IL the people expect Mr.
Groesbeck TO effect reduction, we
firmly believe that they are doing
him an injustice. What Mr.. Groes-
beck can do, and what he undoubtedly
will do, is to make an endeayor TO
stretch the states dollar over and
much return as possible. Some con.
solidations may be effected whereby
few salaries are cut of but the
chances are that expansions in other
ways will eat up what saving is made.
The reason for this Is obvious. The
people OF Michigan are not content to
have their state run as It was ten
years ago. II you don't believe II
look over the list OF new activities
the state has undertaken. The state
police is new creature that eats up
$750,000 per year and IS asking for
more this year. There Is some oppo-
sition to the state troopers but It
looks very much as II that arm Of the
states government has come 10 stay.
Would Mr.. Newett advocate going
back TO tho OLD Single railroad COM
missioner days in place OF our pub
lie utilities commission? The people
OF the state cried out for budget
commission. II has one and must pay
for 1t. There was a demand for
central purchasing agency and one
was set up at cost OF some 10000.
The people wanted uniform account

each local Farm Bureau group will
organize and elect a representative
TO the county meeting. where the
county executive committee will be-
elected. This county committee has
charge OF the Farm Bureau activities
In the county.
The Farm Bureau is the greatest
organization Of farmers in the United
States II now has branches In about
40 states, with a total membership of
over two millions. Think OF two mil
lion farmers united TO see that their
business Is carried on according &c
business methods, and to see that they
get fair treatment in their dealings
with other business. In Michigan W.
have now a membership OF over $4,000
and only a little over half OF the
state is canvassed. Better than 80
per cent of all those asked have join
cd. That is Michigan's answer to the
question, us the Farm Bureau a
good thing?" II is not very old and
in Michigan has grown faster than
in any other state. The plan is to
form different departments to handle
different problems, and to get the best
man TO head these different branches
OF the work. There Is the seed dept.
which is busy getting pure seed for
the members at the lowest price con-
sistent with good quality, and selling
the surplus seed of the members at
good prices. 1t buys direct from 9TH
er farmers organizations, and thus
the middleman's profit is cut out.
Then there is the wool department
with its pool OF about 100000 lbs. OF
farmers wool, which II is holding un-
til the manufacturers are ready to
pay fair price for 1t. Thru the
marketing department, fertilizer, coal,
spraying materials, and many other
things are being purchased for the
farmer members, and they not only
get these things at a saving OF money.
but they get quicker delivery in a
great many cases. The Farm Bureau
Traffic Department was formed to get
cars for local Farm Bureaus, to ad-
Just railroad claims, etc. The latest
department Is the Elevator Exchange,
which buys in large volume for all the
elevator members, and markets their
products as well. The whole idea in
a nutshell is that the farmers of
and OF the whole country,
have In the past produced, and said to
he market man, "How much will you
give me?" And now they are realiz-
ing that they must tend to the market
end OF their business as we'll as the
production end II they are going to
make IT pay. The Farm Bureau Is

LOCAL ITEMS

The local officers made a raid last
Thursday upon the residence Of Mrs.
Parakoli az the Crystal Falls mine.
They were successful in finding a still
and considerable moonshine. Ii is
thought that this place is the one that
has been supplying the Great Western
location with booze. Mrs. Parakoli's
husband Is in Marquette prison for at
