division. have determined TO amend
the constitution Of Michigan. by giving
the attorney general salary for The
great and important services that hs
renders the state. The question now is
will the voters ratiiy and approve 81
that which their representatives have
done?
1t is safe TO say that there has not
been a legislature assembled at the
capital in the last twenty-five years
that would not, with an almost unani'
nous vote, have gwen the attorney
general larger salary than that which
is now named in the proposed amend
ment. for the simple reason that they,
being on the ground, ascertained the
true facts OF the case, and from those
facts they are convinced that, not only
does the interests OF the state impera-
lively require the constant and best
services Of n most able attorney. but
that 10y giving him living salary,
thousands Of dollars would be saved TO
the state each year
The question now is, MS to whether
the voters Of this state can see what is
for their interest and vote according
ly. The single proposition that Is sub
mitted to them Is this: To compel the
lawyer who becomes attorney general
TO take up his residence, during his
term Of Office, at the seat of govern
ment and give al ~ his time and
strength TO the duties Of his office, and
as compensation for such services the
sta te agrees 20 pay him the sum OF
$500, which is just one-half OF that
which each member OF the supreme
court receives, 50 300 less than Is paid
each OF the six judges 81 Wayne county,
and 81 800 less than the prosecuting
attorney Of Wayne county and the cor
poration counsel Of Detroit receive, re-
spectively, for their services yearly. Or,
il this is not done, then the voters must
decide TO let the matter 90 on rs 10 has
been for the last forty years-the attor-
ney general receiving no compensation
TO speak of, residing at his home, attend
ing, for the most part, to his own BUSH
ness, and making the great interests Of
the state subordinate thereto, or com
pelling him, without compensation, to
give up bis entire private practice
through the cOnclenuOuS purpose 10 uls-
charge well the duties Of his high Office
On this issue, therefore, there, ought not
TO be a dissenting vote. Move and more

Constant encroachments,@ hdoubtedlv,
