Good Roads Economic Necessity. (Jood roads are dailv becoming more and more an economic necessity, for the farmer as well as the city dweller. With the scarcity of farm lab'T more duties devolve upon the farm proprie tor. If he carl load hi milk cans up on a motor truck and whisk them, a way to the depot or the creamery each morning oyer a road which permits fast travel, he will have more time in which to pare for his extra duties at home, Jf he can make one trip to town over a good road and haul a foad which it would take two trips to handle over a poor highway, it is to his Interest as well as to the man who receives the goods. The instances might be multiplied, a hundredfold. j It,9 difficult for a man to, practise tponomyiarid he popular at the same j ime.

Then your mother paid 10 cents for calico, her sister 11 cents for the same grade, and a shrewd neighbor dupljcated their purchases for 9 cents.

POOR MAN HARD HIT. Small Property Owner Bears Bulk of Taxes and Says Little Lansing. Mich., July 30. "It Is the llttje owner, the fellow wjlh property worth from $500 to $3,000, who is over taxed In this state. He is the fellow who is paying too much taxes, vet he Is the last one to put up a holler. " whs the astonishing statement of W. R,. Mershon of tlie state commission onight. "This kind of property owner is (call v the only ooe in the utate who has a kick coming and wo hear the least from him." "The corporations of the state are greatly under-assessed but unlike the small property owners, we hear com plaints trom them. However, wepan uot go after the corporation and pick them out one by one. but on the con trary county by county. At the pres ent time there are two things to do give the small property owner justice aud raise corporations where they be long and this will equalize the rail road assessments. "Auqther thing we are going to do, and have already taken legal advice on, Is to compel the corporations to give local assessing ollicers a sworn statement of all their properties par ly In April, as required by law. This the corporations at least a large num ber of them are pot doing now." During the recent investigation lu- to tax commission In the state before his appointment to the state commis sion Mr. Mershon headed t lie Mich igan association of manufacturers in the tight against a corporate excess tax .

V Mecosta county, which closed Its saloon record of unhappy and tragic memory pn'the tirst day of ?tlay of the present year for a period of twenty -four months at, least, is now sharing in the comparatively happy change that has come to other local option counties. The Hig Rapids Tioneer, commenting recently on the peace and quietness pf the countv aud Its present freedom from crimes and nr rests, makes this reference to the present situation: "Any one who thinks local option does not reduce expenes-at the county jail will have a different opinion after a talk with Sheriff Henderson. ,lir;i thinks tho new order is bad for the sheriff's fees, and thtyt In a .short time, If the coun ty stays dry the supervisors will be obliged to place this otfice on a salary as tho fees will not be sufficiently large to attract any worthy candidate. The sheriff is paid $3 a day a.tid ex penses for time actually spent. But this does not in itself run up into money very fast, as the sheriff can have work for only a small part of his time. Where the sheriff made up was on the board of prisoners ami the fees connected with making arrests. Now this Is mostly done away with, ahd only the pay for the actual time put In counts."
