ed for on trunk line highways In that
county over one-half million dollars,
all OF Il since the $50.0o0.0oo aond
issue.
Wayne county. that pays the big
bulk OF the taxes, has been awarded
only $ll5.562.66. Kent county got
sS6. .i296S. Houghton county got $172-
i72.o2. Chippewa got s209.2o7.lo and
SO along the list one can point 20
the glaring Irregularities OF the situa-
ton.
Marquette's neighbors wouldn't
complain II the money awarded that
county was spent. for the benefit OF
all OF the people. II Is not so spent.
The connecting links between Delta
and Marquette county and between
the Marquette range. the Menominee
range and the copper country are al
lowed 20 remain in the same condi-
tion that they were before the state
trunk line program was adopted
while a private road parallel to the
already existing excellent highway
between Negaunee and Marquette has
been constructed at enormous ex-
pense 20 the state.
Perhaps. as the Mining Journal
suggests. this display of favoritism
Is a monument 10 Mr.. Sawyer's pull
with the highway department.
We believe that Il is. We believe
that Mr. Sawyer has ingratiated him
self into the good graces OF the high
way department and put across this
grab by imposing upon Mr. Rogers
good nature. We believe that the
time has come when the people OF the
state should know about II.
II Mr.. Burridge's candidacy does
nothing more than to open the eyes
OF Mr. Rogers and the people OF the
state in general TO the impositions
that have been put upon the state
highway commissioner by those who
claim TO be his best friends, it will
have done much.

MARQUETTEs PREFERRED Posi-
TION

"Bnt II Marquette Is in a preferred
position as compared with some other
counties the explanation does not lie
in any favorltlsm displayed by Mr..
Rogers. but in the keenness shown
by County Superintendent Sawyer In
making most OF the opportunities OPP
ened up by the new highways legis-
lation."
The above utterance taken from the
Marquette Mining Journal OF Tues
tlay Is in reply 10 suggestion in
these columns last week that Il is un
necessary for the Mining Journal 20
impress upon other counties that the
state highway department has been
very generous with Marquette county.
Is Marquette in a preferred posi-
tionf Let's sec. The report compil-
ed by the highway department for the
state legislature shows that Marque-
tie county had. up 10 December 81,
1890, been awarded more state trunk
line money than any other county In
the state Of Michigan. The sum OF
S60i .072.46 has been spent or contract

A MIscHIEYIous BILL

There has been introduced al Lans-
ing = bill providing for the taxing OF
mining companies on the buildings
at the mine and on the ore mined the
previous season instead OF upon the
cash value OF their property as pro-
yided by the constitution. While IL is
improbable that this bill will get far
yet II behooves the people OF this
state TO keep close watch on IL for il
Is left handed straight tonnage tax
bill. Its enactment into law would
cripple every municipality in the min
ing districts OF Michigan. II would
put a premium upon the closing OF
mining properties and holding In re-
serve the ore. II such a law should
be passed and declared valid three
fourths OF the mineral property in the
peninsula would escape paying taxes.
Take the City or Crystal Falls.
where the Great Western mine. the
Youngstown mine. the Kimbali and
May are closed. All OF these would
pay no taxes while their actual value
runs into the millions. Consider what
IL would mean 10 other tax payers II
such law was in force. The Tobin
and Dunn mine closed and threw
many men out OF employment As a
result many people are without
means 0f earning living and much
demand will be put upon the county
aid fund
The other properly owners az this
county would be made TO bear a dir
eel burden imposed upon them by the
owners % these closed properties.
The hill. on It's face al least Is
vicious measure.

been so amazingly great that Il is
staggering TO compare with IL 10 the

the South was long held in the CALLING
