Soviet sales beneath the cost of production and delivery may affect sometimes favorably and sometimes unfavorably the dividend receipts of American oil stock owners is one of the remoter facts to be learned from an investigation of the oil exports of Batum. How a pipe line in the Caucasus may stir the world oil market is another thing to be learned thereby, while lessons in dumping cost accountancy are ucts of the inquiry.

Windsorites, generally, are ready to commend the Robinson plan, one of its most earnest backers being David A. Croll, mayor-elect of the city, who takes office next month for a two-year term. "By all means let us cut the cards for a new deal and if Uncle Sam doesn't care to sit in with us, the sooner we know it the Croll said, adding: "The commuters' problem and that of liquor export logically tie up, not only because in both cases the principle involved is that of inContinued on Page 3, Column a holdup tonight, were captured 10 minutes later after a running gun battle with police. one was wounded.

B. today. Fuller, Besides auditor the general, politan property, the state will me claim thousands of acres of rural and cut-over land.

There is no accurate estimate available today of the amount or of the value of the land to be seized. But Fuller said there will be "several thousand" subdivision Wayne and Oakland lots on the list. Taxes Delinquent 5 Years. Taxes on the property have been delinquent for five years or more. Up until a year a ago, the owners could recover by paying their debts to the state and local government.

But last December, Fuller ascertained that the islature had stopped this practice and that the delinquent owners, even though they had owned their land a half century or longer, automatically lose all their rights. Their land is seized and they have no hope getting The auditor general dislikes the duty imposes upon him. But Attorney Wilber M. Brucker ruled the statute allows him no other course and that he must comply. He will ask the next legislature to repeal the law, which apparently was passed three years ago with lawmakers in ignorance of its significance.

Because of this statute and because of the rapid rate that cutover and abandoned farm lands have been reverting to the state, Michigan now owns--or is in the process of obtaining -more than a fourth of the total area of the two peninsulas. Michigan has 36,000,000 acres. The property deeded to the state and on the delinquent tax list totals 9,150,000 acres. according to 8. survey made recently by State Senator Peter B.

Lennon, of Genesee county, Majority in Wayne. Senator Lennon discovered the majority of the descriptions are in Wayne county. The old law provided that land on which taxes have not been paid for five years should revert to the state. It was Fuller's duty to examine the property, place a value upon it and deed it to the conservation department. The conservation commission could then sell it, trade keep it for state purposes.

"But these provisions were not mandatory. A delinquent taxpayer could come to Lansing at almost any time after the five-year period and recover his property by paying his bill. The 1927 law amended this statute by providing that after the fifth year, the auditor general "shall withdraw such lands from sale." Under Brucker's ruling the owner has no further interest and cannot recover. "I noticed this bill when it was introduced in the legislature by conservation department," Fuller never thought it chance to pass and paid no further attention to it. It was the surprise of my life last December to discover it had been approved.

In fact, not a single vote was cast against it in either house. Repeal to Be Sought. "Many members are asking themselves how they ever happened to pass such a law. It went through them unnoticed. There is a movement underway among the lawContinued on Page 3, Column 5.
