.EARLE'S PLAN SECUTED
IN UPPER MICHIGAN
How State Commissioner Would
Utilize Convicts in Building
Good Roads.
Special to The Journal.

Specldl TO Inc journal, .
Hancock, Mich, July 14.-By trans
ferrlng part of the state prison at Jack
son. lower Michigan, to Eagle River,
Keweenaw point, Lake Superior, and
setting the convicts to work at quar-
sioner Horatio S. Earle would solve the
problem of building good roads cheaply,
and at the same time. do away with the
troublesome competition between prison
and union labor.
After months of investigation and
planning. the commissioner has worked
out what he considers a practical plan
for obtaining trap rock from the up
per peninsula to be used in building
macadam roads and having it delivered
at any point in the state at less cost
| than is being paid for the rock. At
the next session of the legislature, the
commissioner will recommend that a
branch prison be built at the place
known as Greensboro cliffs, on the
Eagle river, short distance from the
point at which the stream empties into
the lake; These cliffs are three miles
long and from SO to 40 feet higher
than the road that passes along their
base. They contain all of 100000 900
cubic yards of as good trap rock for
road building as can be procured any
where in the world. The cliffs ara
owned by the Tamarack Copper Mining
company, and Mr.. Earle has assurance
that satisfactory arrangements to Sc
cure the rock, can be made.
The last legislature instructed the
highway commissioner to make an in
vestigation into the practicability of
using crushed stone for good roads, and
what would be the cost to the state to
procure trap rock quarry in the Lake
| Superior district, and also what it
! would cost to crush and load and ship
such stone to every county in the state.
| Now. from data worked out, Mr.. Earle
estimates that crushed stone can be de-
livered to any portion of the lower PEN
insula for $1.35 cubic yard.
| However, in the upper peninsula at
least, little stock is taken in Mr.. Earle a
proposition. His figures are considered
open to serious question. 80,

yesterday, that congress should come to
the relief Of the various states in their
efforts to control trusts.

Mr.. Bailey. who is the leading anti-cor-
poration lawyer in the state He de-
clared that each state being left to con-
troll corporations in it's own way, a good
deal of effort in that direction was lost.
The federal government IS right to reg
ulate corporations as regards interstate
commerce. he said, "should be ex-

Congress may lawfully provide for

ations,' declared Mr.. Bailey, "and

be from some corporation affected
either directly or thru those who con-
troll them or whom they control.
| 1t follows, that to succeed the reg
ulatlon must be such that it will be for
the interest Of the corporation to obey.
This can be secured by exempting the
corporations from capricious and unjust
interference by the states, and by
denying the many valuable and neces-
sary privileges that can be denied.
When corporations and corporation
managers find it to their interest to
obey the law. the principal difficulties
and objections will be overcome.''
After defending the right of cor:
poratlons to the same freedom in doing
an honest business as to any copartner-

OF trust regulation in many states. He

without receiving a dollar in value for
it and without being required to have
any known office or place of doing bust
ness, or reporting to any one the names
OF officers or. anything regarding their
property or business. Thousands of
such corporations have been organized:
generally for some fraudulent purpose.
and by means of such corporations mil.

pie, and the business of honest CORPORA
