Just as we'll have been in the open
air at a baseball game.
And yet, these two conventions
will make history. In both conven'
tions events occurred which shape
the destiny of our country. In both
conventions. old parties were taken
over by new people. The Repuo-
licans OF 1928 and 1882 have given
way to altogether a new element;
1.-THE Democrats OF the South who
long controlled their party saw
themselves pushed aside by New
York, Chicago and Jersey City
MOSES and by the clio. And In al
this, the thousand delegates were
helpless. They had no voice and
no decision. They were chosen 10
represent and could not represent
those who chose them.

ally and legally chosen to be pres
ent. In the 1910 Republican con.
Yention, the galleries shouting, I'VE

the delegates; in the 1914 Democra,
tic convention, the Clio, Communist
and liberal claques in the galleries,
seeking to force the denomination
OF Henry Wallace, made 1t impos-
sible at times for delegates to be
heard.
At no stage Is the convention a
deliberative body. The resolutions
committee drafts the platform
which the delegates accept without
debate. A delegate or stranger
may appear before this committee
to give evidence. But the pressure
groups make their arrangements
and bargains In advance. The dele
gates hardly see their operation and
only the top fight leaders are
privy to the details.
The candidates work among the
state leaders and most delegates
go along. The mechanism OF boss
ing a convention is simple. The
master-leaders deal directly with
the candidates. The case Of James
Byrnes is an example. Before the
convention, when he had President
Roosevelt's consent and approval.
900 votes were his for the vice
presidency. When Sidney Hillman,
Phil Murray and Walter White dis
approved OF him and Mr.. Roose-
Welt withdrew his support. those
900 votes melted away. The state
bosses had been notified that jim

TAX RATE

TAX 'RAIE
A few days ago the property
owners Of Ypsilanti received in the
mail their new 1914 July tax bill.
The rate used to figure the city
taxes this year Is 1882 per thou
sand compared to the 1913 rate of
S21.20. This decrease in rate was
not due to any newly created eco
nomy in handling city affairs; rath-
er, It is the direct result OF the
MUCH PUBLICIZED REASSESS-
MENT OF property in Ypsilanti
which raised our total assessed
valuation approximately one and
one.half million dollars.
How does our tax rate In Ypsi-
lanti compare with Ann Arbor?
Is 1t higher? Is 1t lower? Here
are the facts. The new 1914 rate
for Ann Arbor is ss.72 per thousand.
or course, this does not include the
police and firemen's pension fund
which is included In Ypsilantfs
rate so let's add that in too. 1t
is 5 80 per thousand which makes
the total rate In Ann Arbor 1902
against 1882 for Ypsilanti. Less
than so per cent as high! Forty
seven and sixty-seven hundredths
per cent TO be exact. In other words.
a home in Ypsilanti with an assess
ed valuation OF $4,000 has city tax
OF $75.6S. The same assessment In
Ann Arbor would be only s360S.
Well, why IS Ypsilantfs rate so
much higher than Ann Arbor's?
Our new assessment is approx
mately 70 per cent OF the cash
valuation OF our property. Is our
assessed valuation per unit still so
much less than a similar unit in
Ann Arbor? Is II more economical
to operate a city several times as
large as Ypsilanti7 Are our city
streets in much better repair? Are
our parks more beautifully kept?
Are we receiving the best efflei-
ency possible in our city AFFAIRS?
The most from our tax dollar? Are
