FIGHT AGAINST
HIGH TAXATION
IS PROGRESSING

A decade ago 1t cost $1OO,OOO,0 900 an
nually To operate the commonwealth of
Michigan. Today this huge figure has
been raised To over $200,OO0,OOO, with
"a tendency to go still higher.
These facts" states Ernest T. Con-
lon, general manager Of the Chamber
Of Commerce Of Michigan, indicate
why we we are forming a statewide
tax organization to bring about reform
i'm the cost Of government and to cut
down the excessive levies which cannot
help but prove a severe detriment to
the business and prosperity Of every
citizen Of the state"
"One of the chief rea sons why such
a condition exists in state government
continued COnlOn, Lies in the fact that
no statewide concerted effort has been
made to bring appropriations within
reasonable bounds. 1t is true that the
welfare problem has complicated mat
tiers, but it Is reasonable to expect
that if the employer was rid of some
part, at least, Of this excess taxation,
he would be able to furnish more en-
ployment, thereby cutting welfare ex-
pense.
with the people of Michigan paying
500, 100000 annually in local, state.
and federal taxes, and with the pros
pect Of facing higher levies, it can be
readily understood why business and
industry are cautious in expansion pro-
grams. 1t must also be realized that
this excessive taxation keeps new en-
terprise from locating in the state.
''One of the serious things ecOnOmi-
cally-minded citizens and officials have
had to contend with 10 the the work OF
so-caiied pressure groups. These or.
ganized Hobbies, which they really are
have their pet and costly ideas to
bring before the Legislature at each
session. They usually concern certain
sections Of the state or certain lines
of business. They do not apply To the
state as a whole.
Backed by certain powerful ele-
ments they badger the Legislature into
granting their requests with the result
that, in many cases, unnecessary ex-
pense is added to the financial conduct
of state business.
In organizing tax units OF the state
chamber in every county OF the state,
we are building up a body that will
have power to see that economy Is
practiced. When We are completely or
ganized We propose TO sean all finan-
cial operations of the commonwealth
carefully and acquaint all units with
our findings. At the same time We will
ask for suggestions as to what should
be done. What the majority favOrs will
be carried out.
I'VE are not lobbyists but we feel
that with, citizens in every part Of the
state working toward better and less
costly government we will be able tC
achieve this end"
OF the work Of OrganiZati ton, COnlor
said:
I'VE are rapidly nearing the end OF
our campaign to form these county
units. Over twO-thirds have been or
ganized. and it is only matter of q
short time when we will have cOmplet
ed this task which necessarily embOd
les a lot of detail work"

MONEY
TO ESTABLISH
A MILK FUND

The initial effort Of the Wyandotte
milk fund committee to raise money
with which to supply the fluid to needy
WyandOtte school children, will take
form in concert at the Roosevelt
high school auditorium next Tuesday
evening, October 10.
So hearty has been the response, in
ticket sales already made, that the eff
fort Is an assured success. Men and
women prominent in the life of the
city are giving unstintingly of their
time and effort to put the undertaking
over in a big way.
Last spring, Spurred by a statement
of Nelson uedrick, school probation of
ficer, that there was dire need for re-
establishing the school milk fund that
was abandoned some years ago, a COM
mite was formed with William Gatzke
as president and Marcus Betwee as
secretary.
The following civic organizations are
represented on the milk fund commit
tee and are earnestly cooperating to
make the venture complete success !:
Kiwanis club, Rotary club, Exchange
club, Business and Professional Won
ems club, PIT. A, Amphion Male Choir
us, Philharmonic string ensemble, Jun
iOr Choral society, Wyandotte Choral
society, Orpheus club, and the Wyan-
dOtte symphony orchestra.
The happy thought of combining six
of the leading musical organizations
of the city in Offering concert pro-
gram, resulted in the selection Of the
following: AmphiOn Male chorus, Jun
ior Choral society, Orpheus club, Phil
harmonic string ensemble, Wyandotte
Choral society and the WyandOtte Sym
phOny orchestra.
The Amphion Male chorus. under the
direction of III. Lyle Lyon, will open
the evenings entertainment and will
be followed by the Philharmonic group
whose leader is Jack Downing. The
WyandOtte Choral society will close
the first part Of the program and it,
too, will be directed by III. Lyle Lyon
The second part Of the program will
find the symphony orchestra on the
stage. The Junior Choral society will
follow with Miss Eleanor Bennink as
its director. The Orpheus club, under
the leadership of Henry MellOche, as
sistant director, will appear in the
finale. After the clubs have finished
with their numbers, they. will appeal
en- masse on the STANCE and will sfns
