An Important Suggestion

"If the horde of legislative naturais at Lansing would sandwich in between their statutory idiocies a measure wiping out our abominable county supervisor system, they would to that extent be entitled to public thanks. What we want is three county commissioners authorized to meet quarterly, who shall lawfully at such times hold sessions of not longer than one week and be paid not to exceed $3 per day for their services. This would aggregate $3 per day or $54 per week. Now the expense is $100 -per day, and when the board hangs on for a couple of weeks the session costs $1,200. Three commissioners would do more and better work in one day than our board of 28 members accomplish in two. If Ping would give more attention to great problems like this, Instead of trying to buy railroad lines, he would achieve fame and take on less the character of a political Bombasíes Furioso. This supervisor system is a relie of barbaris-m and costs the people of Michigan $1,000,000 a year, or $800,000 more than there is any need for. This unnecessary squanderlng of the tax-payers' money should be stopped. The eommissioner system obtains in other states and should be adoptedby the people of Michig-an." - Grass Lake News.
