SIDE LIGHTS
ON MICHIGAN
THE DREAM OF A NEW STATE is
NOW THE THEME OF
MUCH TALK.
STATE HOUSE AT THE 500
The New State a. the Dream Runs to
Consist Of the Upper Peninsula and
a Slice Of Wisconsin.
North Michigan?

The upper peninsula is talking sep
arate statehood. to include part OF
Wisconsin, these days more than II
has for a number of years, as re-
suit of the nomination of James T..
Bennett for the legislature on the Re-
publican ticket, running largely on
that platform. Just how powerless Mr..
Bennett may be to put through his
pet plank Is having no deterrent effect
on the day dreams of the northern
section of the state.
Proponents of the scheme are al
ready figuring from their aliases how
much larger such state would be
than the states of Rhode Island or
New Hampshire or Maryland and how
much richer it would be than many Of
them.
1t is advanced that the interests OF
the upper and lower peninsulas are so
divergent that there Is natural boun-
dairy line, that 1t is so far from 1t to
the seat of state government and that
because of these facts it could govern
itself much more satisfactorily than it
is governed at present from Lansing.
Residents of the 500 have already
erected a state house in their minds
eye and proclaimed it the capital of
the new state which might be called
North Michigan, as in the case of the
division of the two Dakotas. Also
there would be two United States SEN
ators to elect, as well as the one con-
gresham, as at present. There would
be legislative officers galore, a full
complement of state officials and
really, all along the line the separate
statehood proposition looks mighty
good to the people of that section.
Finally it is advanced that the feel
ings of the upper peninsula people
would no. longer be hurt by charges
made in the lower half that the big
corporations are cheating the state out
of it's Just due of the taxes.

The Scientific American shows that
