Southern Washtenaw Farmer's Club.

The club met at the home of Frank Palmer, in Bridgewater. Frank is a son of the late David W. Palmer, who was an early pioneer of the township and was wel! and favorably known. The day was fine and there was a large attendance. The topic for discussion was in regard to needed legislation regarding equal taxation, also the Kimis bill as reported two years ago, having all fees of county officials paid into the county funds, and the officials paid a fixed salary for their services. The unanimous opinion was that laws should be passed to secure both these results. lt was thought the "Atkinson Bill' as reported at the extra session last winter might be improved upon, but the object aimed at was just and proper, although strong political opponents joined in the discussion the conclusion arrived at was the same. Geo. Rawson and Wm.Pease were appointed to represent the club at the annual meeting of the state association at Lansing next month.
