Inability to regulate the contests
without discrimination and impair
partiality and the fact that the va
rious organizations attempted to take
undue advantage of the privilege
given them Is responsible for the ban
being placed on the pugilists.
Professional pugillsts have been
called amateur boxing artists to
evade interference, and Wardrobe
charges and dozen other subter-
fuges have been used by many of the
athletic clubs to get around the order

Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1905-03-31

Only one of the proposed amendments
is of general application, that is the
interest of road improvement, intro
duced in the senate by Mr.. Ely of Alma.
Section . of artical 10 of the constitution
prohibits the state from being IA party
to. or interested in, or carrying on any
work or internal Improvement, except
in the expenditure of grants of land or
other property to the state. The amend
ment now proposed excerpts from that
prohibition The improvement or aiding
in the improvement of public wagon
roads" making II competent Tor the
legislature to appropriate money Tor
such purpose. or to devise other mea-
sures for securing under state direction
a better system of highways. In his
inaugural message Governor Warner
paid special attention to the great ana
growing importance of good roads, ana
the need of better provision for securing
them and anticipated soon some general
scheme of aid for such interest from the
general government. Such AID would
undoubtly be conditioned upon state
participation in the work, and for that
purpose an amendment TO our constltu-
tion such as Is now proposed would be
necessary. The commercial value that
should result to the people OF the state
from such combination of national,
state and local effort, Is beyond any that
can be expected from any other form OF
community effort.
Both the other amendments relate to
the county of Genesee alone. One author
ICES the board of supervisors TO provide
such additional salary TO the circuit
Judge. above hhe present constitutional
limit of $500, as they shall from time to
time determine-as was done two years
ago for Bay and Washtenaw. The other
provides for board of county auditors,
which requires modification of the con
stitutional deposit of exclusive auditing
powers in the board of supervisors-as
was also done two years ago for hen'
and Saginaw. Wasl tanaw and jackson
counties. These two are in the line o.
special and local laws which are becom
ing such a clog upon legislation, ant
more so upon administration. III
generally felt among the Legislators witt
reference to local bill, and similarly
among the voters with reference 10 thes'
special amendments, that If II Is wlia
is wanted by the people affected, le
