Whether it is right or wrong, he ex pects you will gather around him like a Hock of sheep around a salt pan. Some of you might take offense If you were told that by indorsing this resolution you were very close to the line of Socialism, but, in the opinion of many, it is true. You should remember that at pre sent the mhos are assessed under the ad valorem system the same as your farms or any other property. Now. if they are not being assessed high tnough. It Is the duty of my friend who introduced this resolution or any other citizen of this state, to make a complaint to the Slate Tax Commis sion, whose sworn duty Is to Investi gate the same. Hut, I can say to you on good authority, that there has been Irto authentic complaint made since the year of 1906, when the State Tax Commission raised the taxes of our northern mines eighty million (JSO, 000.000) dollars. You should know that out of thirty seven copper mines operated in tho Upper Peninsula during 190S only seven paid dividends. Some of you, no doubt, arc laboring under the Im pression that all of them are Calu met and Hecla mine, but they are far from it I ask you to consider three ques tions bearing on this tonnage tax re solution: 1. Would this not be double tui tion. 2. Would it not be unconstitution al ns an attempt to tax interstate com rterce? 3. Would it not be class legisla tion? There seems no more reason for 'axing a pound of copper or iron ore "ian tin re is for taxing a unit of any ether commodity that comes out of the ground, or that ha.- Ik-.i manu factured fiom niaici.als that cornel out of tlie ground. j It seems to nie that the proposed measure Is unjust in that it lmpo.-es IN DRAMATIC PORTRAYALS.

Among the matters to be considered by tho board are the county road proposition, which has been frequently discussed and the matter of an amendment to the option of Joseph Croze to certain mining lands.

A meeting of the members of the Houghton club will be held on Friday evening in the Citizens' bank building of Houghton, when matters pertaining to its welfare will be discussed. Some time ago, this club was a flourishing organization, and made, arrangements for the erection of a fine new, club house on ghelden street. Tho skeleton framework of this structure had Just been started, however, when a slump In the stock market caused the club to go out of business. It Is likely that plans will be considered at the meeting Friday evening to resume operations. MILITIA AFFAIRS. Capt. D'Arcy Will be in Houghton on January 29 and 30. Capt. Martin Foley of the Houghton Light Infantry, has received advices from the state authorities to the effect that three sergeants of the regular ar my have been detailed to duty with the Michigan National Guard, and that they will visit all of the towns of tho state where militia companies are lo cated to conduct schools of Instruc tions, it Is expected that they will shortly visit Houghton, as they are known to be headed In this direction. Word has been received here to the effect that Capt D'Arcy of the regular army who has been detailed to assist the National Ounrd will be In Hough ton on January 29 and 20 for the pur pose of conducting a school of Instruc tion for officers, particularly In the matter of map reading. The work of tho Copper Producers' association the past year threw much valuable light on the copper situation, especially as regards production and consumption. The first Idea gained by the public in regard to the Producer's association seemed to he that it was toregulate the production of metal and thus maintain a more stable Bell- Irr price, but this Is left to the prob- would sooner pay a fair stated prico for the metal at all times than an ex cesslvely high price at one time and an excessively low one again. , They feel that they will be protected and demand this protection of regulation There may be and probably will bo one or two smaller mergers among some of the large producers, for matters seem to ta Hlim.lnir towards this end at present, but they, will not conflict in any way with the anti-trust legisla tion One of the features of the market dealings in coppers during the past year was the operating of a greatly Increased number of small Investors who displaced the speculators to great extent. Then, too, in almoBt all of the hither orlced Issues and thd standard Issues union the coppers, the holdings were split up among a larger number of Investors than dur ing any former year. During the year the low grade western properties be gan to loom up strongly as a big fac tor In the production of copper and they show promise that they will as sumo an even more Important posl tion. Their shares, therefore, came into great demand. Throughout the early part of the year and up till about July thero was not manifested a very optimistic feel ing regarding the Immediuto future of the copper manufacturing' Industry. In July, however, things seemed to brighten up perceptibly, but it was not until November and December that any material relief was felt. Now there is a boom In practically every copper issue in the market and some of the bad are benefitting with the good. Many stocks are quoted In the market for greatly more than their true value, while others are quoted for less than what they really are worth. There is certain to be u re action after this little boom, but It will probably merely steady the mar ket and will not be of any great dur ation or serious consequences. With better metal prices practically assured and with these prices main tained at a stable level, as they un doubtedly will be during the coming year, there is every reason to believe that the market for copper issues will continue In a healthful state and that the copper manufacturing industry will enter Is about to enter, in fact an "era of sanity" never before enjoyed. Matters have been and are tending in this direction. As to the copper properties. In all districts, especially ln the Lake Super ior camp. In Montana and Arizona, and In Utah and Nevada, all the pro ducing companies are in excellent shupo most of them can greatly in crease their outputs ut any time, All, almost without exception, show en couraging promise underground und their finances are in the best of shape. The men are contented, are excellent workers and good' livers. ' During PJ09 u large number of new flotations appeared, 'especially in the Lake Superior country, and nil of them In this district have excellent prospects. Within the next five years It seems almost certain a round doz en new producers will be brought for ward. Several others, now well ad vanced ln the development stage, such as Lake, Hancock, Superior and the like In Michigan, und Superior and Hoston, Arizona Commercial, Inspira tion and others In the southwest, will enter the ranks of the producers. The production of copper next year will likely be considerably larger than during 1909 but will not be what the mines are capable of. Slight curtail ment of production in the Hutte dls trlct will likely continue the first half of the year, probably not longer, for the metal situation certainly will have been righted before July 1. The cop per producing industry Is in better shape now than it has been for two Meeting Emergencies For the chilly mornings and evenings of early Fall and Spring or the more bitter days of Win ter in the house, in the bunga low, any place where heat is needed in a hurry, the .
