IN
Scheme to Keep Public In
Dark About Title Sales Is '
Revealed in Lansing
By Elton R. Eaton
What is believed to be a scheme
•'on tlie part of a Lansing lobbyist
■acting in co-operation Avith a number
' of tax title sharks to prevent dis-
. tressed home and land OAvners from
knowing anything about the sale of
the tax titles' to their property upon
-which taxes ihight be delinquent is
Spen in a bill*" introduced in the senate during th*3 past feAv days. Under
the deceptive-" guise of an economy
claim this trick bill Avould keep home
owners from 'knowing of the loss of
their property by tax title sales. It
has been known for a number of
years that certain tax title sharks
have had such a plot in vieAv and apparently thinking uoav Avith the
change o'f State administrations
would be a good time to put the deal
over on the distressed property holders of Michigan, they have brought
their bill forth Avhich, if passed, will
suppress from the delinquent tax
payers any knoAvledge of the danger
confronting their life savings. So
"brazen is this proposed trick legislation that those back of it have not
openly sIioavu their hand. A Grand
"Rapids laAvyer who is a member of
the senate, introduced the bill.
The bill Avould, if enacted into -laAV,
. do UAvay with the public notice given
of each description of properly put
up for sale because of non-payment
of taxes. It Avould provide that only
a small notice be published in some
one paper; in the county of just the
date (5f these tax sales.
When the present laAV Avas passed
years ago it avus framed with but one
object in vieAv, to protect by public-
notice, as far as possible the property holders. The makers of this old
laAV deemed it advisable -to put into
the notice of the delinquent tax
property, so that one would know of
the danger that confronted his holdings, and so that he would have an
equal opportunity to save his real
estate from tax title sharks.
Noav it is proposed under the guise
of an economy measure to take that
protection aAvay from the home oavii-
er.
By the publication of property de-"
scriptions as in past years a property holder knoAvs Avhen his property
,is up for sale became of non-payment of taxes, and he is given plenty,
of time under the present laAV to
protect and save his holdings. But
this laAV has never been a popular
one Avith tax title sharks.
Because of the business depression
ancl the fact that taxes will soon be
uelmcihbnt on many valuable pieces
of property in all parts of the state,
it has* been suggested that this piece
of Vicious legislation has been started with the idea in mind of giving
some unknoAvn group an opportunity
to buy lax titles to valuable- real
estate without the oAVner knowing
his property had been : offered for
sale; '
"The hill did not -Come -from the
Democratic forces and prominent
Democratic leauerfi say, they kneAV
nothing of it until introduced in the
senate.
This is the first move made in
year-l*'to do away Avith proper public
notice in all property and legal matters and old legislative observers indicate' that it has not fallen on fer-,
tile ground.

Avith fine basket shooting ran up the

"The question as to who is to be
Friend of the Court for Clare County
Avas answered last week Thursday
night when a coin was flipped to
give the place to Leo J. Campeau, of
Harrison. f
This question has been bothering
local legal circles sinc^e the death of
John Quiiin last spring and upon assuming office by Tlieo. G. BoAVler,
Clare County Prosecutor, it became
his duty to make some recommendation to Judge Hart for the place.
Besides Mr. Campeau, Alexander
E. Wylie, of this city, was also out
for the place. It early became apparent that most of the business" men
of Harrison Avere actively supporting
their local man. Wylie then canvassed Clare, FarAvell and two or three
of the toAvnships ancl secured petitions asking that he "be appointed.
Several hundred names were secured
in three days including every business man of Clare ancl Farwell as
well as many other residents of the
county.
"Ted" then decided that the easiest
way out of the matter Avas the best
for all concerned and suggested that
the-parties get together Avith a view
to settling their differences. Accordingly the parties concerned together
with Sever Amble and Bernie.JIamp--
ton, of Harrison, Jesse Hampton ancl
George White, of Clare, and Orval
VandeAvarker, of Sheridan, met at
Ted's office last Thursday night Avith
a vieAv to settling the matter.
Tt Avas argued by Wylie that^after
the death of Joseph Bowler, Avho held
the office at that time, John Quinn
was appointed and at that time there
were in the county only two eligible
men, himself and Mr. Quinn, and that
Mr. Quinn Avas given the preference
On tho ground that he Avas an Solder
and more experienced man, leaving
the implication that if he ever Avas

Reduction of the local tax on property to a rate of not more than live

valuation) for the operating costs of
public schools, with the State government supplying sufficient additional Tevenue so that public schools
of Michigan can be maintained on a
per pupil basis of 1923, is recommended by the Michigan Education
Association.
During the past ten years the tax
on property has supplied approximately 73* per .cent of the funds for
public schools, AVith school tax rates
at the present time ranging from
nothing; to -more than $60 per $1,000
of assessed valuation,

E. T. Cameron,' executive secretary
of the Michigan Education.
"These estimates allow for (1)
a net revenue of $22,500,000 to be

lion known as the Michigan Railroad
Employes ancl Citizen League ava.c*
held at the Union Depot Wednesday
evening with a good attendance present and a membership of about fifty
railroad employes and citizens of
this community who have filed application for memBership. One of the
State committee, Mr. D. A. Bodary,
of Oaa*osso, Avas in charge of the
meeting aud gave a very interesting

organization?. Temporary ., officers

The object of the organization is
to supply by ethical means the enactment of State and Federal legislation that provides proper regulation

.for constitutional rights and the
necessity for liberal exemptions, in

The Legislation has uoav been iaf !
Session about three Aveeks, and so far
little has been accomplished outside
of completing the organization, and
this for the reason that everybody is
marking time Avaiting for the G<jver- •
nor's economy ancl tax reduction program.
The  special Committee on Inquiry
as to the cost of   State   Government   '.
appointed  by  Governor  Brucker anc%
Legislature of 1931 presented a verse*
comprehensive report, and Avas in the*-'
hands of the Legislatures,   the-   firsb1
day. of the session, and bills are now
in the hands of the committees, and-** '
several have emerged, and Avill soon
be ready for passage.    The most im^
portant  hills  are  still in committctefc
but unless the Governor's program *isj-
presented very soon, all of these bill's
carrying out economics of about five
million   dollars  Avill be reported and.'
passed, at least, by     the    House   of
Representatives.
The Hood of proposed new legisla-
Ition still continues.      Many   of    the
j bills have value. Others are of mediocre   importance,   and   probably  Avill
never be reported from committee.
Out side of the Economy measures,
the3 three great  matters that aa-jU  be
I highly controversial are    the    c-ues-
j lion of Taxation, Liquor Control, and
[the -Re-organization of    the    county
and local governments.   It is reported" that Governor Comstock has special committees outside of the mem-
beis of the Legislature, avIio are preparing these bills. But, it Avill likely
be  some  lime before they are  presented to the Legislature, for consideration.
The matter of Liquor Control av-III
in necessity mark time until the
■Congress of the United States takes,
some definite stand, and either re-^
peals or modifies the so-called Vol-"
.stead Act, and it looks noAv as if that
jyoylcl not be (long, until at'ter thc^new-,
j administration takes hold of affairs
in Washington after the fourth o£
Marco.
I have introduced a Resolution calling upon the State Highway Department,    and   . State      Administrative
Board to take steps ancl make plana .
for a causeway or bridge across the-,.'
Strait    of    Mackinac,      This    bridge'
could iioav be built and paid for out \
of funds loaned  by the Reconstruc- .'
tion Finance Corporation,    and    the J
loan repaid  out  of  trie  bridge  tolls, ;
and would never cost the people otz •
the State of Michigan one penny ex- ,
eept for tolls, which would be much^'
less than the ferry charge now. This*
Avould greatly increase    traA-el    fron't''
the States of the South to the Upper •
1-eninsula of Michigan,  ,and    would
furnish a Avhole year round highway i
connecting the two peninsulas. ;

ly that such   a   method   of   iinanea,
Avould have prevailed, but the situa-   '.
tion  is different now as the Reconstruction    Finance    Corporation    are,
