CLARE C. OF C.
SUSY ON M-l
INCOME TAX FOR
1924 IS REDUCED
Grand Rapids Herald Conies
Out tor M-13 But Fails to
Show Advantages Over
the "Spinal Column
Route."
%*l%
Letters were recently se,nt out by
the Clare" Chamber of Commerce to
Chambers of Commerce in the towns
and cities along M-14 from the Straits
to the southern state line, with a-
view of getting action this coming
summer on M-14 in the matter ot pave:
went on this important trunkllne
through the heart of Michigan.
The letters suggested a united
action on the part of these towns and
cities iU order to get state action In
putting considerable paying on this
route during the coming season.
Against* this proposition comes
Western Michigan, now waging a
drive to secure the paving of M-13 on
the west side of the state during the
coming summer, in an issue recently the Grand Rapids Herald has come
out editorially on M-13, 'and M-14
showing the greater population on
K-13, and wnicli the Herald claimed
is 76,000 more than resides in the
cities and towns on M-14. The Herald
admitted the resort country through
the central part of Michigan, but with
M-55 east from M-13 near Houghton,
claimed that this would be sufficient
to care for that resort section.
The Herald overlooked completely
the fact that the very finest agricultural section of the state is in the
territory adjacent to M-14 through the
counties of central Michigan, a territory that M-13 could not serve with
M-55 or any other highway. It overlooked completely the fact that a big
proportion of the tourist traffic that
comes into Michigan does not ome
over M-1'3, but over M-14 and ove^ the
Dixie highway, and that to this traffic
M-14 Is a much - more convenient
highway over which to reach the
northern part of the' state, with its
many beautiful inland lakes and
charming resorts, as Well as being
the most direct route. Neither can
the Herald argue that M-13 could be
of any particular benefit to the tourist
of eastern Michigan who desire to
reach t*he inland lakes of the northern
part of the lower peninsula. From
Flint or Saginaw wost to^ Clare it is
only a short distance over M-24 to
Midland and M-20 to Clare, making
an excellent way to reach M-14 and
hence going north to the inland lake
resort country. Other cross highways from the Dixie and eastern
Michigan meet M-14 at various places
malting it easily accessible and with
M-14 paved, making the inland lake
region accessible to thousands more
people than is now the case.
Many of the sugar beet factories of
Michigan, and numerous other industries close to the soil, canneries,
etc., are located on or within a very
short distance of M-14. It is an important road its length considered.
Through Several central Michigan
counties it is an adjacent and a highly important link between the farmer
and the sugar beet factory, the pickle
company salting stations, the can-
• neries, the produce companies of various kinds that take & big part of the
large produce production of central
Michigan, the elevators that handle
the beans raised in profusion through
this part of Michigan, and the other
farm products such as grain.
The Herald's argument of population as a basis of road building is
not entirely a good argument, although a plausible one. It's argument would have been the stronger
.had the Herald been able to .show
that a,good percentage of the population enumerated would use M-13 were
it paved. Such however it could not
do. tf listed Grand Rapids on M-13
With a population way in excess of
100,000, yet only a very small proportion of that population would ever
Use M-13. Few Of its products would
eyer find their way to market over
M-13. And the same holds true for
Kalamazoo' The one manufactures
furniture for world trade that goes
out ot Grand Rapids by the carload
and trainload, and not by automobile
Of truck load. Kalamazoo, the paper
center, does the same.
The smaller communities in all
probability will show a much greater
percentage of automobiles owned and
In use, and the rich farming lands of
central. Michigan will show, noi only-
av.- automobile on nearly every farm,
bnt trucks on most of them, which are
used to transport products to market,
a great amount of which finds its. way
to the cities after first having traveled over M-14 on its first leg of Its
journey. ,,
The tnmkline. M-14 can rightly be
called the "spinal column"of Michigan,
Scores of cross statev trunklines and
county roads intersect ii all the way
from the southern state line to the
Straits, thus giving the tourist an outlet east or west on his trip to' the
northern resorts.. -
The   Herald   also   lost   sight   entirely the   fact   that   the   practical
', royte for the people of Grand Rapids to
&
Increased Exemption, and  a .25
Per Cent Reduction in Earned Income is ot Interest to
Taxpayer.
Your income tax, for the year 1924
is less, in proportion to your income,
than was the tax for 1923. A fate reduction, however, is not the only
benefit afforded by the revenue act of
1924. Increase in the exemption for
married persons, a 25 per cent reduction on "earned income," and other
changes in- revenue legislation are of
immediate interest to every taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every Single
person whose nefinconie for 1924 was
$1,000 or more, or whose gross in-
i come Was ?5,000 or more, and by
every married couple whose aggregate ne*t income, was $2,-500 or more,
or whose aggregate- gross income
was $5,000'or more. Last year returns
were required of married couples
whose aggregate net income ,was
$2,000 or more. Husband and wife,
living together, may include the income, of each in a single joint return,
or each may file, a separate return
showing the income of each. Net income is gross income less certain
specified reductions for business expenses, losses, bad debts, contribu-
I tions, etc,
f The period for filing returns is
■from January 1 to March 15, 1925,
] The return, accompanied by at least
r one-fourth of the amount of tax due,
, must be filed with the collector of in-
jtemal revenue for the district in
j which the taxpayer has his legal
residence .or has his principal place of
business.

take on a trip to the resort country
would he via M-l? to Ionia and M-21
to St. Johns, where they would intersect M-14 and then north, Kalamazoo
also has a direct course to Lansing
or Jackson and at either places-strike
M-14. Also Detroit and Toledo have
a like route to M-14 at Lansiug. In
fact M-14 could serve practically all
the southern part of Michigan, even
tourist coming into the state from
Chicago would have a most pleasant
route to Lansiug as well as other
roads leading to Michigan from Ohio
and Indiana.

Rep. Fred Weffs, of Cassopolis
Rural   Favorite,   Chosen
Speaker 62«33.
Lansing, Jaio. 13.—Senators an'd
representatives assembling" here today foB the second week of the 53rd
session of the State Legislature.are
chiefly concerned- with the matter of
highway 'finance. Some individual
law-makers' will discuss their own pet
projects, but general interest is being
reserved for gas tax and weight tax
discussion,
The two Jtormal sessions held during the first week accomplished little
more than the organization of both
houses and - the reception of the
Gover'ubr's message. Considerable
progress was made in the all-imnort-
ant task of getting acquainted.
The first significant development
of the session was the election 6£
Representative Fred B. Wells of Cas-
sopolis as Speaker of the House.
Wells was chosen at a caucus held on
the night preceding the formal opening of the session, He was selected
on .the .first ballot by a vote of 62 to
33 over Representative George Wa,t-
son_o£ Capac who received the solid
Wayne county vote and was regarded
as the Administration's favorite.
Hear Governor's Message
With the_ speakership contest
settled and other organization arrangements completed the Senate
and House met in joint convention
Thursday and received Governor
Groesbeck's third biennial message.'
The Governor devoted most of his
attention to a discussion of highway
financing problems and advocated a
modified automobile weight tax as the
chief source of revenue. He mentioned a gas tax very briefly but did
not endorse it. His address left the
impression that in liis opinion the
weight tax should be passed first.
This appears to be principal point
of difference between the Governor's
program and that favored by leading
members of the House and the Senate
who insists that a gas tax must come
first and then, such modifications and
reductions of the auto licenses as
would bring in the balance of the required highway funds.
This week may sea important developments along this line. Immediately after Governor Groesbeck had
finished reading his message, Senator
Howard F. Baxter of Grand Rapids
introduced both a weight tax and gas
tax in the Senate. The weight tax
would take immediate effect and
would be oh the basis of 70c per-hundred for passenger cars with higher
rates for trucks, graduated from SOc
to $1.00, according to weight. If
Senator * Baxter's two cent gas tax
bill was passed, it would take effect
January 1, 1926, and the weight taxes
provided in the companion weight tax
bill would thereupon be reduced 20c
per hundred.
Gas Tax Gains Favor
It is. understood that Senator Baxter's two highway -finance bills have
the approval of the Governor and the
State Administration, but they are
not meeting with favor among leaders of the gas tax bloc in the House,
Representative Joseph Warner, of
Ypsilanti, father of the gas tax bill
passed by the 1923 Legislature and
vetoed by the Governor, states that h.e
has a very carefully prepared gas tax
bill which he will introduce in the
House this afternoon. Representa-.
tive Ate Dykstra, of Grand Rapids,
also has a gas tax bill which he may
introduce this week. It is admitted
by even the Detroit dailies that sentiment in favor of a gas tax has gained
strength since the law-makers assembled a week ago.
George Welsh of Grand Rapids, who
by virtue of his office as Lieutenaut-
GoYernor, is the presiding officer In
the Senate, had his committee appointments prepared for announcement on the first day of the session,
so it was possible to begin the introduction of* bills in the Senate immediately, Ten measures were dropped into the hopper during the first two
days.
With the exception of the. two highway finance measures offered by
Senator Baxter, the bill which will
probably, arouse the most interest
was Senate Bill No. 1, introduced by
Senator .Arthur E.. Wood, of Detroit,
which would reapportion' the State
Senators, doubling the number from
Wayne County and making corresponding reductions in the representation from the rural xiistricts.

visiting the 'clenic and holding conferences with the nurse and teacher
that the greatest amount of good maybe accomplished for our children.
It is very gratifying to hear the remarks of our people who were home
for the winter vacation. First of all,
they knew we were having a county-
nurse, thanks to our home- paper.
They have been working in counties
where it is not a new thing- and* look;
upon this as simply a pioneering venture as it is. They expect us- to, move
forward and enter the front ranks as
we are hoping to1 do.*
