. Tensing, Mich., .Ian. 7. When Gov

chief executive of tea state of sflchl
gan he evidently did so with the d
termination to be governor in fact as
well as in name. At least that is the
conclusion to be drawn from his ntti

of the legislature. He made it plain
at the outset that he was not to be

Regulate Telephone Rates.
Anotln r matter for legislation will
be a bill to regulate telephone rates
While on the face of it this may not
appear to be ; matter of vast iinpor
tance to the people of the state n
large, yet it is declared that if the
measure passes It will wipe out glar
ing inconsistencies and compel a i ,
ulation of rates now deemed exorLi
tant.
Revise Election Laws.
The entire list of Michigan's eU
tion laws will come up for revision
at the present session- The eenale
has taken the initiative and decided
upon this course. Senator James
called the committee on elections to
gether at once and consideration of
the proposition was liven with th
decision to have prepared bills to Pe
vise all of the primary and election
laws of the state.
Changes in Banking Laws.
There will be material changes ti
the banking laws of the state at thif
session. Hanking Commissioner Doy i
is aggreeeive in his advocacy of an
improvement of the banking system
The overdraft evil will be one of tin
considerations and some provisions
made to compel a depositor to not
draw checks for more money than In
has on deposit. This evil has beet
and is constantly being practiced
throughout the state to Bfl extern
that causes the commissioner to pus
gest a law governing the matter. An
other phase of the proposition vu
be borrowing by bankers from their
own and other banks and regulation
In a more stringent manner the loa:
ing of money to directors and otin ti
officials without adequate collate N a
Some of the proposed clauses of
the bill will be: That at least t o
shares held by a stockholders Shi I
not be hypothecated er trnnoferred;
that state tanks shall twice I
year render a icpoit on lines oi
credit; making it unlawful for an
ofllcer or employe of a bank to over
draw; fixing the lo;.n limit to direc
tors and employes at 10 per cent of
, capital and surplus; requiring; the
banking commis-siom r to examine ;!

Begtoni&g With the first session the
governor geve it out in plain teri
that he ems absolutely opposed to i
fusion of the parties rei resented in
Oi.. hnns :ii:1 senate.
in Lakins this oosition the chiet banks desiring to go into voluntary
executive did it iii a nice way, ly
qualifying his statement with the as
set ion thai he eras not giving ndi i
to the so loUS of the state but nn relj
expressing his personal sentiments.
New Era in Michigan Politics.
Whai is believed to be a new re
in Ifiehlgan party politi's was marfced
In letters to close personal
iriends in Washington, William
Jennings Bryan plainly assorts
stoat he does not intend to per
sail his fight for free raw mater
inls to go by default and that he
will again insist on free raw
wool. The information that Mr.
Bryan will continue his tight
eomes at a time when Chairman

ray of represent mve politicians,
manufacturers and professional n .
that was unique end significant. Th
endorsement of many of the petit
of the retiring governor, and some of
tin m distinct RepubUcOB policies, by
Governor Ferris, east a damper OVOI
some of the ambitions of sggresslve
partisans in the game for political
preferment, and gave a refreshing in
dication of something out of the ordi
nary for the coming two years,
that the new governor expects to
make a record in which partisanship
will be a SHcondry consideration was
exemplified in his utterances at the
banquet table. It is significant, too.
that thrse utterances found favor
among representatives of the threp
parties present, though it may be fcet
down as a fact that some of them
were not entirely in sympathy with
the now governor's evident intention
to disregard the time-honored policy
of partisan victors making a whole
some dash for the spoils of political
success.
Republican Appointees Favored.
That Mr. Ferris is determined tfl
exercise economy and to not impair
the efficiency of operative depart
ments of the state government is
shown in his recommendation tot
the confirmation of eleven recess hp
pointments by Governor Osborn. 'I
policy of efficiency is thus OUtllBt

Labor Legislation.
The Michigan State Federation of
Iabor is behind a measure providing
.for the health of Factory nmployei
modification of the compulsory edti
cation law to raise the age limit to 1G
years, legislation to prohibit b
under 12 from selling newsj apeis on
the streets alter 12 o'clock at nlghl
and other protective measures that
will enhnnce the conditions of t.
working peop'e of the sate.
Corrupt ractices Act.
There will be some drastic Il lation
upon the matter of cot ruj I
practices in elections. Repn I -nta
tive Copley introduced a bill altoQg
this line at the previous session, but
it met with defeat. This time it li
believed chances of passage are
greatly improved.
After Investment Sharks.
A measure which will receive the
approval of the best business men
and cltlxens generally throughout th
state will be one to prohibit proniot
ers foisting upon insocent investor
"blue sky" schemes that hsve tee
so eagerly nibbled at by the unwary
and iaexperienced. It is declared that
here is an opportunity for profitable
missionary work. Therefore legisla
tion is proposed to save the get ric h
quick aspirant from himself and from
the seductive promoter whose on'v
security is the clouds, but whioh hn
appealing properties to the uninit
ated.
Physical Fitness For Matrimony.
Representative Glasner comes for
ward again with a measure to compel
applicants for marriage licenses to
procure medical certificates.
Railroad Sanitation.
There will be a measure introduced
to regUlete the sanitary arraneenw Dtl
of railway companies. Represent a
fives of numerous lines operating D
the state will co-operate with li S
state board of health to decide BP
the provisions of a bill to be pre
sented at once.

for whom he selected vocations. The
lirsc one was very smart, the m xt one
v. ry good, the last on very Biui!e
minded. In his wisdom the man suid.
"This one who is so smart I will make a
lawyer of; the good one shall be a
preacher; poor Jack knows so lit Lie I
will make a farmer of him."
Hut times hsve changed. Tbere is no
occupation in the world that calls for
more ability than farming. It is a man's
job. To plow and sow and reap without
understanding is no more real far umg
than cutting a man's leg off with so
ax is feel surgery.
Agriculture is the basis of tbe ostion's
wealth. Thn soil is our greatest asset,
and conserving and building up helps
everyone.
In ten years, between 1900 and 1910,
our population increased betweeo fifteen
million about 21 per cot; our farm
area increased a little over 4 per cent;
our meat producing animals actunlly
dropped off over twenty millions in uum
ber.
Tbe government and the states have!
expended over two hundred millions of;
dollars in developing scientific knowledge
relating to agriculture. This knowledge
SJ practically in cold storage. Why not
yet it out and put it to work on tbe
fsrms? That intellectual uiant and em
pire builder, James $ Hill, sayn: "We
know enough now of ngriculture, if it
nete applied, to double our firm yield '
and to triple the farmers' income"
Our state is endeavoring through its
fanner' institutes, exp- rim it stHtion
bulb tins and its various field men to .
; yet this knowledge out to the farmers.
Last year nearly four bunlnd voting ;
1 men spent nght weeks at the Agricul
1 turl (Vdlege getting bold of practical
knowledge. The men carried valuable ,
information back to the firm. 1 ti -
were able to put into practical use the
information gained at the college. This
gave them a broader outlook upon their
profession nnd enalded them lo increase
very much tbe production of their land.
A young man who expects to spend
hia life on the farm csn make no invest
ment of time or money which will yield
bim such greet returns as a short counts
at M A C Eight weeks in time and
fifty dollars in money will open up a
oew world to bim. From a money stand
point it will give him an exalted opinion
of his life's work and this is wbst the
farmer needs more than anything else
