Kansas and Standard Oil.
Nothing has yet been done toward
joining Kansas in its onslaught on the
Standard Oil company. 1t will be re-
called that q couple Of weeks ago l
called attention to the fact that Rep
resentative Bosley, of Calhoun, was
making some Investigations with
view to Offering a resolution on this
subject. The measure may come later.
The latest antitrust movement was di-
rcctcd against the so-called fish trust.
Representative Bland, of Wayne. in
PRODUCED n resolution providing for the
appointment of special committee TO
make an investigation for the purpose
Of determining whether such Il trust
actually exists as alleged by the smal
commercial fishermen of Michigan.
There was some opposition to the reso-
luton, and through Il misunderstand-
ing of the parliamentary effect Of the
motion. the father OF the resolution
moved TO lay an amendment offered
thereto on the table. This motion car
ried, ana it took not only the motion
but the original resolution TO the table,
where both still remain. 1t is believed
that the matter will come up again.
1t is believed that actio. viii shcytly
be taken on the Lowell bill to reduce
the membership &C the state tax COM
mission from five to three members.
Considerable feeling has been engen-
dered in regard to this proposition. and
it is difficult to predict just what The
result may be. Apparently Il majority
Of the house favor the change pro.

One of the latest bills Of general in,

tor Linsley of Three Rivers. 1t pro.
vides for the establishment Of juvenile
courts in all cities having n population
Of 10000 or more for the trail of Of
tenders under 10 years Of age, and also
requires that these offenders be incar.
cerated in separate institutions where
they will not come in contact with the
older and more hardened criminals.
Like separation In the county jails OF
the state is also required.
Separate Prison for Women.
Speaking of jails, etc, reminds me
that It is not at all likely that the w.
G. Il. L. of the state will succeed in
their endeaVors to have the state cs-
tablish separate prison for women.

ons owned by the state, be purchased
and used for the Incarceration of short

of Michigan are now maintaining 1000
of these shortterm prisoners at the he.
trolt institution. However, there is
no likelihood that any such purchase
will be provided for by the present

without its advocates. The fact of
the matter is that it is altogether prob.
able that this legislature will not make

not at all likely that the removal will
be made until the frost is out OF the
