CHAMPIONSHIP 100 MILE
RACE SAGINAW LABOR DAY
The only important development m
the murder case at Evart, in which
Mrs. Lydia France was brutally attacked and beaten to death, has been the
holding of 'Ambrose Van Zandt, 5i
years old bachelor living three-quarters of a mile from the France home.
A pair of overalls were found soak-
inp in a tub of water m Van Zandt's
home. The overalls were stained with
What appeared to be blood. Van
Zandt stated that the stains wert
only paint. However, they looked lik_
dried blood, so the overalls were seni
to Ann Arbor for analysis of the spots,
along with clothing taken from the
dead woman. . If the overall stains aro
blood, the analysis will be compare-
with the blood on Mrs. France's clothing. . <<
State police are searching elsewhere
for a former sweetheart of the slain
woman, /hoping that if they find him
they may have a clue.
Tho Mecosta county authorities
have also spent much time going ovei

which is only two miles from the

as soon as they proved their innocence,—Osceola County Herald.

My Dear Mr. Berner:
I have your letter of the 21st inst.
with reference to the primary campaign.
In the first place, I have never beet-
opposed to a gasoline tax on auu*
mobiles and trucks, properly drawi
and applied to a license law. I hav*-
made this statement so many tlme--
that I often wonder why it is* thai
the opinion Seems to be out that I an*
theoretically and in principle oppos
ed to a gasoline tax. I have tried u
make it plain in my statement, enter
nig the primary contest this tim-
and what I have always advocate,
is this:
1. That our present licence l_,w b
modified and amended so as to d<
away with the injustice that it man
ifestly works. II tajteS a small ce-
on the basis of 70 cents per hundre;
weight and the larger cars on the basis,
of anywhere from 40 to 60 cents pej
hundred weight. It taxes truck's fiof
28 cents to 4- and 50 cents per hm.
dred weight. Iflis foolish result i:
brought about because horse-powei
is useu, in the present law, as one o*.
the factors for figuring the amoun-
of the license fee.
2. I proposed that the horse-power factor be eliminated and there
does not seem to be any objection tc
this proposal at the present time; H:
fact, everyone seems to agree the
this should be done. ,
3. When our present license law
is modified and placea upon a weiata-
basis, the amount tnat it will raise
per year can easily be determinec
If it is not sufficient to take care ol.
our highways, their maintenance anc
our highways, their maintenance anc
the retirement of the bonds, pass t.
gasoline tax that Will do the job.
4. I vetoed the gas tax Mil that war
passed because it was unconstitutional in three different respect3.,
You must appreciate that peopif
do not wish to bo taxed any mort
than is necessary to meet the requirements of the government and it l
with this idea in mind that I .havr
made a study of ail of these problem-;
and collected a great deal of data in
connection with them.
I The proponents of the gag tax wert
not willing to modify the present law
. which is very inequitable and. unjiis*
and they wished to collect abou*
' $7,500,000 a year additional, so if i'
had passed, the farmer would be paying on his small car about §11 a yeai
and in addition thereto, 2 cents a gal*
; lon for the gasoline that he usea.
! What I really did accomplish was _•
1 save the automobile users of thi-
state, in the last two years, about
?1B,000,000, the larger portion c*
which was unnecessary to collect.
