Growth fthe Flat Habit.

The growth of the fiat habit in the
larger cities of the state has induced
Representative Peek, of Jackson, to
seek to guard the lives and limbs of
the fat dwellers. The proposed law
covers the entire state and its provis-
ions apply to all department houses
more than three stories high, excluding
basement. 1t provides that stairways
shall be constructed of iron or steel
on the outside Of these buildings, such
fire escapes to be accessible from each
apartment. The semi-annual inspec-
tion of all such buildings by the labor
commissioner or some one deputiZed
by him for this purpose is provided
for. The owner or agent Of the build
ing is made responsible for the equip
nient. Much complaint has been heard
lately Of the careless manner in which
apartment houses are being con-
structed throughout the state. In De-
troit it is freely charged that most
of these buildings are the very worst
Kinds OF fire traps and the prediction
is freely made that sooner or later this
method of construction will result in a
tragedy that will startle the state.

The Piece de Resistance.

Thus far the matter of primary re-
FORM which. in view of the agitation
given the subject for several years and
especially in the last campaign, is the
piece de resistance of the present ses-
sion, has received mighty little atten-
ton One or two bills of sweeping
character have been introduced, but
none have been considered even in
committee. 1t is expected that soon
after the legislature reconvenes a bill
or bills more in line with the Repub-
lican platform declarations will be in
roduced and the subject then taken
up in earnest and disposed of. There
Is no doubt that substantial pri-
mary reform law will be enacted.
In this connection it may be re-
marked that the extreme primary plan
advocated by the state grange will
find expression in a bill to be intro
ducrd by the chairman of the house
committee on election. IF l under

rectly 1t will provide for the nominal
ton Of all candidates, even those for

To Look After Legislation.


During the past week representa-
lives Of the various agricultural organ
zations of the state, including the
grange, State Association of Farmers
clubs, State horticultural society,
State Dairymen's association, etc, met
here and formed q central committee
which will look after all legislation in
which any of these interests may be
concerned The allied committee will
have a number of bills affecting the
agricultural interests of the state
which it will especially advocate, and
1t will be equally on the alert to head
off any legislation which is likely to
affect these interests disastrously. In
this work the committee will have
powerful ally in the Legislative
farmers club which was organized
last week with large membership
This club Will pass upon not only bills
affecting the agricultural interest in
particular. but all other measures, and
history warrants the aserstion that it
will be powerful factor in determin-
ing the fate Of proposed legislation.
Unsatisfactory to Sportsmen.
AS has always been the case since
there was such thing, the existing
game legislation comes far from pleas
ing the sportsmen Of the state. Every
two years, almost since 'the memory
or man runs not to the contrary"
these sportsmen have met dnd formu-
lated Simon pure articles of game
bills, but either they fail biennially to
have their measures pass or else dis
cover that it was not as effective as
they had hoped, for no sooner is it en-
acted than they set about to formu-
late new and better lot. At meet
ing Of the Michigan Game and Protec-
tive association few days since, the
following amendments to existing
laws were agreed upon:

Attack on Tax Commission.
During the last few days of the ses-
sion there has been considerable dis
cussion of the proposition variously
made to abolish the tax commission
and pardon board. In fact bills de-
signed to accomplish these objects
have been introduced. The tax COM
mission especially was vigorously at
tackled on the floor last week and, be-
fore the subject was given much
thought, a resolution was adopted by
the house which had for it's object an
investigation of the methods and ex-
penses or the commission. The pre-
amble of this resolution made some
rather uncomplimentary references to
the commission and altogether it was
rather ugly arrs ignment When the
members came to carefully consider
the matter overnight they concluded
that they had acted rather hastily and,
after some discussion, the resolution
was rescinded by nearly unanimous
vote. Just what will be done with
these two bodies is problematical. 1t
is not improbable that the present tax
commission will be abolished and new
commission of three members with re-
stricted powers provided for. Unless
the tide rises, however, the pardon
board is not likely to be disturbed
farther than talk will disturb it,
Representative Ming, who halls from
the Cheboygan district, has evidently
read of alleged indignities heaped upon
ambitious students by hazers and he
proposes to put stop to them. He
has offered a bill making hazing in
colleges and other educational institu-
lions misdemeanor punishable by
fine of from $40 to $50, or by imprison-
ment in the county Jail for not less
than thirty nor more than ninety days.
This is for the everyday. ordinary kind
of hazing. For tattooing or disfiguring
the body of a victim by the use of
nitrate of silver or similar substance,
a fine of $500 or Imprisonment for
term of not to exceed five years is
fixed.

INSTITUTIONS BEING VISITED

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 31.-The legis-
lators of Michigan, or rather so many
of them as are state institution COM
mittees, are devoting this week to
visiting the respective institutions Of
which they have charge and investl'
eating the needs of these institutions
in the way of appropriations, etc. For
this purpose work was suspended last
Thursday evening and the legislative
grind proper will not be resumed I'M
til one week from today. This weeks
visiting is very largely shorn of the
spectacular features which have char
acteriZed these trips in former years
and it is hoped that commendable
reform has been inaugurated.
There is much speculation in legis-
lative circles as to just where the ac-
ton of the people in the last election
in amending the constitution so as to
do away with the fifty-day limit for
the Introduction of bills is going to
land the legislature. From the lack
Of progress thus far made in the mat
ter of considering proposed laws, the
conclusion is forced that there is 60
ing to be a congestion of business to-
ward the end of the session that will
either result in failure to give meas
ures the consideration they deserve,
or in the prolongntion of the session.
Things may change after the solons
return from their visiting trip, but
they will have to change decidedly if
the leaders are to carry out their pro-
gram for an early adjournment.
Either that or q vast amount of pro-
posed legislation will go to the scrap
heap when final adjournment is
reached. Possibly this solution Of
the problem would not result disas-
trously to the state, for there are those
who believe that everybody concerned
would be fully as well if not better
off if a majority of the laws now on
the statute books had never been en-
acted.

No Skeleton Bills.

Speaker Master has made ruling
that should be pleasing to the people
of the state generally. IT is that no
skeleton bills will be received. At
previous sessions alleged bills consist
ing Of titles only have been intro
duced by the score. If occasion pre-
sented itself these titles were added to
later and the bills thus formed enacted
into laws. This system made possible
the enactment Of snap legislation, in
asmuch as interested parties mad no
means OF learning the provisions Of the
measures. Hereafter all bills intro
duced in the house must be complete
so that she who runs may read" as
it were, and all concerned be fully in
formed as to the details of the pro-
posed legislation.
BY practically unanimous vote the
senate has passed the Doherty bill re-
organizing the state board of health.
The bill reduces the salary of the Sec
ietary Of the board. who, by the way,
is to be appointed by the governor
instead Of elected by the board as now,
from $4,000 to $500, and also makes
n reduction in the appropriation for
the work of the board besides requir-
ing that all accounts Of the board be
submitted to the board Of state audi
tors for allowance or rejection.
First Veto Message.
Governor Warmers first veto mes
sage had to do with the matter of
changing names Of persons. There
was a sort of an epidemic OF such bills
this year. and the governor approved
and signed one or two Of them before
ii occurred to him that the law pro
vided that this work may be done by
Judges of probate. Under these cir
cumstances he wisely urged that the
expensive machinery OF the legislature
should not be worked to accomplish a
result to be had at vastly less expense.
Then, too, the fact is that the legisla-
ture never looks into the reason for
these changes, taking the word Of the
introducer of the bill that the change
should be made. Important property
interests are sometimes involved in the
changes proposed, and the governor
concluded that both from the stand
point of economy and as best guard
ing all interests involved, the probate
fudge should look after these matters.
