TAX COMMISSIONERS
Held Hearing At City  Hall
On Friday.
proPsStTraised
From     Previous     Assessments
Generally.
The Stste Tax Commissionere^n tbe
person of oae of it* members, O F
Barnes, assisted by a number of those
who Have been al work re assessing
the county during the v-ast several
months, beld a session at the City Hall
on Friday last to listen to any com
plaints from taxpajere concerning
their work: During the week, in ac
ordaoce witn notice given, such
hearings wert held at various points
over tbecounty at each of which the
rolls of one or more townships were
reviewed.
At the opening here Mr. Barnes
made a brief address, calling attention to the history of tax legislation
in this state and the difficulties encountered in securing an equitable assessment of property. The conetitu-
tion bad always demanded that property should be aseeseed at its caeh
value, yet tbis provision bas to a
large extent been evaded in tbe past.
The whole thing h«s degenerated into
a matter of competition, each municipality seeking to get its valuation below that of ite neighbor- All the
State Tax Commission is seeking to
do is to equalize assessments over
the state and no one should complain
of that. Ninety five percent of the
state, all save a few of the smaller
counties, have been re-assessed.
Tbe grossest inequalities have been
found in various parts of tbe state
Same counties have been raised nearly 300 percent.
Figures are not available yet to determine how mnch tbe real estate of
tbe city bas been raiaed above the assessment made by tbe supervisors,
but eo far as we can judge from a
very limited inquiry, nearly or quite
every description was raised.
Of course no one hae any cause for
complaint if all are raised equitably.
Equitable taxation is what all should
desire and certainly we must recognize the fact that no one is infallible
and that opinions must necessarily
differ as to wbat that is.

Camp Merritt, N. J.
July 30, 1918,
Dear folks at home:-
Will now drop a line to
let yon know tbat I have got to my
new stopping place once more. We
have a fine camp bere. We are no
in tents now but have big barracks
to stay in. Will tell yon a little a-
boot onr trip. We left Waco, Texas,
on Juiy 26 and came through the
states of Texas, Arkansas, Missouri,
Ohio, New York, and are now in
New Jersey. We were taken off tbe
■rain four times o a the road sec*
twics were let go swimming, once io
Lake Erie. We got off at Cleveland,
Ohio, and marched to tbe lake wbere
we went swimming
We reached here at 4:30 on Monday afternoon, get off tbe train and
hiked out to camp where we are now.
We came through nine tunnels, two
of which we were in 45 minutes and
one 66 minutes, tbe rest being short.
Tbe crops sre looking good down
bere, a lot are just catting tbeir bay,
bat tbey baye tbe grain nearly all
cat. Tbe sud is coming oat and I

Our readers wiil remember that on
June 5 iast, one year after the first

quired to register. It has been reported that instead of waiting a year
for another similar regietration, such

thus tbe more quickly bringing tbese

J. W. BITLER
Jae. W. Helme of Adrian, an old
time Democrat bas bad the andacity
to throw a monkey wrench into thf
machinery juet when tbe etate com-
mitte of bia party supposed they bad
the machinery all oiied up and in
running order. He then exp'sirs
how much the masses of the party
heye to do with selecting candidates.
He says:
"In 1904, Governor Ferris led the
Democratic? party in Micbgan i i a
great drive for primary reform
While it was temporarily defeated
tbe seed was sown tbat a few yeare
gave Michigan a direct   primary law
" It ie sad to relate that since that
time tbe Democratic masses have
never selected their nominees for
state ottiee or I'nited   States senator.
" Every two years the state committee meats and picks thecaudidatts
for the Democratic maesesto vote for.
Two y6are ago tbe limit was reached
when tbe committee ran dummy candidates at the primary and afte wards
had them resign and filled the vacancies with men of their real choice.
Hae the Democratic party been Democratic only io,   name,    in   Michigan?
"An autocracy of a few men meet
iu private, in eome hotel room, and
control its affaire and nominate ite
cacdidates ar>d as a result Michigan
is the etrongeet Republican state in
tbe nnion. Making a farce of tie
primarv has disgusted real Dem-
ocrate and brought upon us retaliatory
legislation from a Republican legislature. Tbis year the autocracy has
selected a candidate for United States
eenator for both parties, who not
only has never been identified with
the Democratic organization and has
never contributed time or money to
belp it, but wbo is actually a candidate for the same office on tbe Republican ticket find refuses to etate which
nomination he wili accept or wbicb
party be will affiliate witb.
"I bave seen an expert ride two
horses at a circus, but be would not
have attempted to ride the donkey
and tbe  elephant  at  tbe same   time.
"I have consented to allow my
name to go on tbe primary ballot to
find out if the masses of tbe Democratic party wisb these methods.
Maybe tbey want Henry Ford. If so,
no barm can be done bis candidacy
by a friendly contest. If tbey do not.
It would be political suicide to force
bis candidacy upon tbe party. Wben
tbe constitution waa amended to allow the people directly to select a
United States senator, it meant wbat
it said Let us accept tbe spirit of
the amendment.
"To allow a candidate to be selected
by a body not responsible to tbe voters of Michigan is autocracy, pure
and aimple. Let us make democracy
safe for Michigan."

The Tri County W C. T. I*. Convention bere laet week wae a reaeon-
able success in every way. Witb so
many things engaging people's attention and ail absorbed in war activities,
it is not eurprieing that tbie gathering should not have been attended
by a largr< number. Tbe visiting
guests were entertained here, meals
being served in tha cburcb parlors
and we presume no one. bad any fault
to find on tbat score.
Mre. Calkins, tbe chief speaker,
bad a streunoue day, taking upon
bereeif more tban expected wben she
came. A picnic being held in Harrison, tbis afforded a good opportunity
to meet a number of people and she
readily consented to go there. We
hear tbat ber address was highly applauded end was tbe chief feature of
the occasion We presume the address
followed abont tbe esme lines as tbat
here. In addition to tbe evening
addrees, she also epoke briefly at the
church iu the afternoon.
Mre. Holcomb of Grand Rapids
who represents tbe "Loyal Temperance Legion,'' the children's department of tbe wo*kk, wae here and spoke
to the children aseembled in regard
to the matter and we understand a
Chapter will be organized here with
Mre.   A. B. Lister ae superintendent.
The evening meeting wae held at
the Hark and a reasonably good number attended. The City Band aeeist-
ed by furnishing several selections
Mrs. T. U. Fuller cf Farwell, President of the organization, presided
and introduced the speaker wbo
epoke for an hour or more, taking up
the two amendments to be submitted
thie fall.
In discussing tbe suffrage amendment Mrs. Calkins expressed the
opinion, now held by practicallv
everybody, thst when submitted in
1912 it carried and was counted out
by the booze interests in Detroit.
Sbe took up and discussed tbe various objections offered to woman
suffrage and urged tbat it is especially needed now when thousands of
loyal men are taken from tbh country
nd tbere are many who are secretly
disloyal and yet ean vote on a simple
declaration of intention to become a
citizen and wbicb does not render
tbem liable to military service.

Tbe Barracks are a little quieter
tonight tban usual, so maybe I can
write a letter. I suppose mother
wrote yoa regarding my induction in
tbe army July 15, a little over two
weeks ago, and I don't show any
signs of weakening yet. Ma came
out with some friends tbis afternoon
and tbev said I was getting fat, so
tbat most be a good sign tbat ! like
it, and I certainly have enjoyed it on
tbe wbole ao far, especially as I bad
an opportuuity to pass tbe examination for tbe noooomissloned officers
scbool bere at Port Win field Scott,
8 ftn Francisco. I have been bere
over a week and am in with 800   oth-
ally tine. We get lote of strenuous
military driil every day and tbey are
pushing us right along as they want
to make corporals and sergeants out
of ue in two months time. I hope I
can make it so 1 can eee service in
France soon. Oh I am in tbe game
and am willing to go the limit.
Tbe first week wae the toughest
when I was one of several thousand
to be examined and outfitted at Fort
MeDonell, Angel leland. The latter
is.and is in San Francieco bay' so I
was able to phone to rzsa everyday,
and by special Tavcr In the office
headquarters bave been able to pbone
from bere every day. Onr company
ie still in quarantine and not allowed
to leave tbe barracks grounds. My
vaccination didn't bother me mucb
nor did the first two shots for typhoid
I haven't had my third acd last.
Some of the boye a r t> completely
knocked out. I have been lucky,
haven't missed a meal (my old reputation of youth.)
Fort Scott is situated just inside the
golden gate on the San Francisco
side. The wbole grounds bere arc*
known as tbe Presidio. Perhaps you
see it mentioned in the papers from
time to  time.
At tbe boom of a cannon we pile
out at six in tbe morning and believe
me its always chilly here at six and
usually foggy at tbie time of year.
We have good beds and warm woolen
blankets, hot and cold shower baths.
Breakfaat at seven and at 7:45 drill
begins. At four p. m. we are through
and from 7 to 9 we are supposed to
atudy. I have my work abead so all
ie well. Some of these guys will be
out of luck when the exams come, as
not all take tc books. Tbere is a
young fellow in the bunk next to
mine who has two brothers in France,
one a major. This young Hill is a
fine chap and we have become pals
Already. The eats here are good,
could be better, but we have plenty.
Uncle Sam clothes us. pretty well.
I have a good heavy suit with extra
breeches and 2 pairs of shoes aod a
dandy overcoat, plenty shirts, socks,
underwear, etc.
One meets all kinds of fellows and
we are tbrown all together. There is
a good deal ot rough stuff, a fellow
has to keep his head above the mack,
be a good fellow and tbe army isn't
such a bad place after ali.
I tbink mother will stay in San-
Francisco as long as I am stationed
bere. It bas been kind of hard on
ber these last two weeks, but I will
be out of quarantine in 10 davs at tbe
most, then I csn go bome Saturday
afternoon and stay until Monday
morning. 1 can also get off evenings
just so 1 get my work done. I like
tbe dicipline here. One is never told
to dc, anything unless be ie shown
bow first, tben if yon don't do it-woe
unto you! We all get our turn at
kitchen duty- Kitchen Police K. P.
for short- My turn wae Sunday.-
Washed dishes ail day- Say I'm glad
tbere isn't munb of that. Other duty
like cleaning up etc is called' 'fatigue"
We have blue denim in all dirty work.
1 bave been excused from a good deal
as I have been called to belp in tbe
headquarters office a good deal.
Tbats bow 1 get to pbone mother
fnce 1 am here. We are not even
sallowed to go to tbe Y. M. C. A.
Tbere sure will be a happy bunc b
wben tbis quarantine is lifted.
Well, tbis isn't a very good letter- I
bave had lots of interruptions.    Tbere
are 25 on tnis floor and 25 on tbe floor

Owing to the fact that more work
falls upon those of ue who are left at

impossible for me to visit every voter

But I wish to assure any whom I
