PING LOSES IN THE SENATE
Proposed Tax Amendment Meas
ure Killed After Passing
the House.

A Lansing dispatch dated Thurs
day says:
The senate late this afternoon
killed the Pingree joint resolution
for the submission of q constitu-
tional amendment permitting the
amending of the state tax laws,
which had passed the house by
vote of 18 to 13.
The senate adopted a resoluticn n
adjourning Friday noon.
The large number Of votes against
the proposition was great surprise.
Despite the concurrent resolution
passed by the senate fixing Friday
for adjournment, it is improbable
such will happen, as the house will
probably refuse to adjourn.
Gov. Piugree has prepared long
message to send to the house ask
ing for the passage OF joint resolu-
tion providing for submission to the
people Of constitutional amend
ment permitting municipal owner
ship Of street railways and ther
public utilities.

SOldiers Relief Fund, Amount
ing TO $1S7,OOO. Has
Vanished.
MANY CLAIMS STILL UNPAID
And They Must Be Repudiated
Unless Special Session
Takes Action.

When the last legislature pro-
vided for the raising OF $l87, 900 by
special tax for the relief of the
soldiers who were injured in the
Spanish war, s'the Detroit News,
it was thought it would be plenty.
1t is only three months ago that tho
law took effect, yet the fund is al
ready exhausted, and there are many
goQd-sized claims awaiting payment.
Unless the governor sends in a
special message calling upon the
Legislature at it's special session to
provide funds for their payment
they will have to be repudiated.
The law was very loosely drawn,
and opened the door to about any
sort of a claim interested parties
might see fit to file. The county
auditing boards consisted of several
county officials, a majority of whom
are candidates for reelection, and it
can readily be understood that they
were slow about rejecting anything.
Aside from their political ambitions,
they shared the general feeling that
nothing was too good for the sol
diers, and everything that came was
passed. In some instances it is
known that claimants were about
and able to hunt and fish while their
claims for medical attendance, board,
etc., were being paid by the state.
Mothers, sisters or brothers of the
patients were, in some instances, al
lowed pay as nurses, and in others
the board Of the men at their own
homes was allowed at a rate OF from
50 to 81 per week.
One physician was allowed a charge
OF 81 800, while brother-in- law of
certain patient was allowed his ex-
penses for three trips from the up
per peninsula to Detroit to see his
relative, who was already in the
hands Of two skillful physicians and
a trained nurse, the bills Of all three
being also paid by the state.
Auditor General Dix hung up bluff
on the Doctors bill and sent it back,
the result being that it was cut to.
1,00D.
The only bills the auditor general
had any authority to reject were
those Which were not itemzed.
These were sent back to the coun-
ties.

TWENTIETH CENTURY.
The Friendly Islanders will be
the First People to Hail
Its Advent.

''The first people to live in the
twentieth century will be the
Friendly Islanders, for the date line,
as it may be called, lies in the Pa
cific ocean, just to the east of their
group" writes John Ritchie, Jr., in
the January Ladies Home Journal,
OF "Where the Next Century will
Really Begin" "At that time, al.
though it will be already Tuesday
to them, all the rest of the world
will be enjoying some phase of Mon
day, the last day Of the nineteenth
century December, 81, 19OO). At
Melbourne the people will be going
to bed, for it will be nearly ten
O'Clock; at Manila it will be two
hours earlier in the evening; at CAL
cutta the English residents will be
sitting at their Monday afternoon
dinner, for it will be about six
o'clock; and in London, Big Ben in
the tower OF the house of commons,
will be striking the hour OF noon.
In Boston, New York and Washing
ton half the people will be eating
breakfast on Monday morning, while
Chicago will be barely conscious OF
the dawn. At the same moment
San Francisco will be in the deepest
sleep Of what Is popularity called
Sunday night, though really the
early dark hours of Monday morn
ing, and half the Pacific will be
wrapped in the darkness OF the sane
morning hours, viii b become earlier
to the west, until at Midway or
Brooks Island it will be but a few
minutes past midnight Of Sunday
night.
