"That primary law is bad one for
u.s." remarked the chairman Of the
democrat state central committee, in
the course of recent comment ON
that subject. Perhaps 1t is. but it Is
expected to prove good one for the
greater number of the people. Demo-
crat nominations for state Offices can
no longer be made and unmade In the
upper rooms of hotels. as they were
two years ago, and have ALWAYS been,
nor can democrats participate in the
nomination of republican, candidates
as they have heretofore been prlvileg-
ed To do. In other respects, however,
democrats should be satisfied with the
square deal which Michigan's new
primary law will give them.

Referring to the fact that a law has
recently been enacted Ia Ohio which
provides that railroad passenger rates
in that state shall hereafter be two
cents q mile, a prominent Michigan
newspaper asks why nothing has been
done In Michigan looking towards
twq-ceat fares. 1t is evidently not
MEIwn to that newspaper that two
cent fares on the more important rail-
reads OF this state haye been In opera
sion for number Of years and that 4
law now exists here which Is intended
to make two ceuts q mile the rate on
ell railroads, when the passenger
business shall attain 10 certain pro-
portions. The main lines Of the
Michigan Central, the Grand Trunk,
the Lake Shore and the Wabash rail-
roads. are all travelled in Michigan for
two cents a mile. When these same
roads.;Teach the Indiana and Illinois
statot lines the fare Is three cents per
mile. Y On some other railroads In the
state the present fare Ia two and a
half cents per mile, their earnings
having reached the point providing
fer that rate. 1t is expected that the
two-cent rate will prevail on all rail
roads IN Michigan before their passen-
ger earnings shall equal those Of the
Ollie railroads.
The discussion now Ia progress
through the state press as TO the desir =
ability of the proposed constitional
convention, makes the fact quite
evident that the Action Of such con-
ventlen will need to be very careful
and very observative If 1t hopes to
meet later approval by the people.
Indeed, It can be stated as matter
of almost certainty, that IL the con
stitutional convention makes the
changes most often suggested its work
will meet overwhelming opposition at
the polls. II this probability is kept
in mind by the members OF the cen
ventlon. in case such body is author
ized at the coming election, IL may be
that a revision can be made that Will
meet the approval OF majority of the
voters. But the question as to wheth-
er or not any general revision Of our
present constitution ban be made
which would be approved by the
people is quite pertinent to the other
qvEton as to whether or not con-
veStion to revise shall be provided
for.
