Railroad Passenger Rates.
An important matter which, in my
judgment, should have attention at this
session of the legislature is the subject
of railroad passenger fares.
am of the opinion that the law Of
this state should be amended so as to
make the maximum passenger fare
that may be charged In the upper pen
insula three cents per mile, and the
maximum rate i'm the lower peninsula,
with the possible exception Of that
charged by three or four small indie
pendent companies whose passenger
earnings are less than $1,000 per mile,
two cents per mile. The legislature
can. ! think. be depended upon to deal
justly with the smaller independent
roads.

The Lobby.

Michigan has suffered less than
many of our sister states from the
lobby evil, but we cannot clatm to
have been entirely free from the cor
rupting influence Of the professional
lobbyist.
In all matters of legislation the peo
pie are entitled to your best thought
and most conscientious judgement, and
You should see to it that your thought
is not directed nor your Judgment af'
fected by the undue influence. Public
hearings and the right Of petition as
to all matters pending before the legis
lGture are legitimate methods of in
fluencing legislation. The legislature
Should always be willing to grant pub
lie hearings to and receive petitions
from all who may be interested In
measures under consideration, whether
these persons represent public or priv
ate interests. Aside from these hear
'ngS there should be no place. either
In the legislative halls, the committed
rooms or the lobby. for the profession
al lobbyist His rights should he simp'
ly those enjoyed by the humblest Cit
iZen Of the state. The professional
lobbyist has no proper place in legis-
lation and the sooner he Is eliminated
thcrefrom the better not only for the
public but for the special interests by
which be is employed
The first step in this direction must
necessarily be taken by the individual
legislator in treating with contempt
the introducer Of any so-called strike
legislation designed for the sole pur-
pose of attracting the attention OF
these special interests, thereby inviting
them to either pay tribute or to em-
ploy the professional lobbyist In self
defense Such legislation and its
sponsors should be publicly denounced
and their real purpose exposed. All
proposed legislation should stand or
fall on its merits alone and any argu-
ments as to those merits should stand
the test Of full publicity.
In my judgment the practice Of
heads Of state institutions, depart
ments and members Of state boards Of
appearing I'm the role OF lobbyists in
behalf Of appropriations for their re-
spective institutions, boards and de-
partments, is an unseemly one and
should be abandoned.
Conclusion.
I have had occasion to know much
Of the conduct OF the affairs Of the
elective and appointive office % tie
state government during the past two
years, and it gives me pleasure to say
that the officials in cHarge OF these sew
eral departments have been faita'Jl,
energetic, and capable in the discharge
Of their duties. They Rave admin &.
tered the impo 'tant business entrusted
to Il en- honestly. intclliceutly and eco
nomically. They have, at all times,
shown themselves willing and eager to
cooperate with the chief executive in
every matter designed tor advance the
interests and welfare OF the state and
it, citizens. With a fuller apprecia-
ten than ever before Of the RESPONSE
bilities of the position to which the
PEOPLE have reelected me, | hereby
pledge to them and to you my earnest
ard enthusiastic cooperation I'm all that
shall tend toward the moral, intellectu-
al and material advancement Of our
state and its citizenship.

Freight Car Shortage.

n most serious question confronting
the manufacturing interests and the
shippers Of farm products of our state
is the shortage in the supply of cars
furnished by the railroad companies.
This handicap can no longer be con-
sidered a temporary one. During the
past three years there has been just
cause for complaint along this line. SO
serious has the existing condition Of
affairs become that | believe the time
is now at hand when the responsibility
must be fixed and if possible the cause
removed
My recent investigation of this sub
ject confirms my belief that the in
crease in the business of the country
during the past ten years has been far
greater than the increase in the num-
Der and tonnage capacity of freight
cars. This is not true as TO all com
panies, but | believe it TO be true in
large majority Of cases.
l recommend that, at the earliest
possible moment. a committee be au-
thorized to thoroughly investigate this
whole question with especial reference
to determining.
First-Whether the several railroads
operating within this state have made
reasonable endeavOr TO provide suf-
fcient car supply, motive power and

The provision of the law requiring

new YEAR GUESTS
ATTY. M. G. A. SPREAD

Members OF the Y. NJ. c. A. and their
guests TO the number of sixty or sew
enty enjoyed the New Years dinner
given at the Association hall yesterday
In spite of the torrential character OF
the weather. This dinner. which was
served by the members of The Y. W.
c. A.. is a regular annual event, al
though it Is doubtful if the feast of any
former year equaled, much less sur
passed, that served yesterday. To show
their appreciation the diners thanked
their fair servers in three hearty cheers
and tiger.
After the dinner came an interesting
feature OF the gathering, each Of the
men present rising and announcing the
length OF his residence in Hawaii and
the land OF his birth. This was inter-
esting as showing the widely separated
part of the earth from which the COM
pany had gathered. Naturally there
were many sons OF the soil, one OF
whom acknowledging to sixty-one years
of residence. There were natives of
four from the land Of the maple lear,
several Australians, two New zealand
srs. one native of Unalaska, several
sons of Nippon, one from India, tour
from England, but not a single Irish
man or Scotchrnan around the tables.

line OF cars. We quote from recent
San Francisco Chronicle report OF
the disaster:
"a runaway car on the California
street cable line sped down the steep
hill from Mason to Dupont streets
with a terrific momentum at O'CLOCK
yesterday morning, and was stopper
only by the fortunate impact with
horse, which acted as a buffer. Inc
horse was killed. None of the pas
sengers was hurt, although two men
jumped off during the rapid descent
The car was No. IL, in charge or
Conductor J. Pettee and Grfpman
Joyce Immediately after passing Ma
son street Joyce released his grip sud-
denly, fearing that he would strike q
team alongside the F'airmont Hotel.
The suddenness of the release caused
the cable rope to jump out OF the grip.
and the car darted down the hill with
such momentum that the application
of the brakes failed to prove effective
The gripman made every effort to
stop the car on the narrow level at
Powell street, but there the runaway
took fresh plunge down the hill and
was travelling at an alarming rate
when, at Dupont street. 1t struck
squareIy one Of a pair Of horses that
were being led behind a buggy across
the path OF the car. The horse was
instantly killed. but the car was check
ed sufficiently to enable the effective
use of the brakes.
THE car was not injured or thrown
from the track and proceeded on Its
trip to the ferry. The track was slip
perry at the time OF the mishap. There
were about a dozen passengers
aboard and considerable excitement
prevailed for short time. but the
descent and stoppage were so sudden
that those inside the car hardly had
time to jump. The men who leaped
from the runaway landed safely.
1.-The horse was allowed to remain
near the track until o'clock in the
afternoon
