The Ypsilanti Sentinel says the Ann Arbor tax rate is about as high as that of Ypsilanti. Wïll the Sentinel please inform us what the tax rate of Ypsilanti was last summer, and what it is at present ? Figures count. The Lansing Republican argües that because Chairman 'Yilson, of the Ways and Means committee of Congress, comes from Charleston, W. Va., which has a population of 2,287, Benton McMillen comes from Carthage, Tenn., which has a population of 487, and some of the other members of the committee come from small villages, that the tariff bill they have drawn is worthless. The Republican seems to think that all the intelligence of the country is confined to the large cities. Certainly in the large cities corporate influences more largely control politicians. But the great maas of the people live in rural districts and they should rejoice that for once they have a Ways and Aleans committee that can speak for them.
