There In . vast. difference between
proper and improper methods to In
fiuence legislation. and In whatever
laws may be enacted on this subject
distinction should be made between
them. l am In hearty accord with the
doctrine laid down by the supreme
court OF the United States as far back
as 1853. when In the case of Marshall
Va. Baltimore & Ohio Railway Co. that
tribunal said: "All persons whose In
terests may In any way be affected by
any public or private act OF q leg.sla
ture have an undoubted right TO urge
their claims and arguments, either In
person or by counsel. protesting to act
for them before legislative commit
tees, as Well as In courts OF justice.
but hired agent assuming to act In a
different character In practicing deceit
on the legislature - and SER
vices involving the use Of secret means
or the exercise OF sinister or personal
influences are Illegal"
To legitimate services rendered In
a legitimate way. no reasonable OBJ
lection can be made. But all appear
ances for or against measures before
the legislature should be made nnblic-
ly and before the proper committees
only. There should be no loDpy that
will not stand the light OF the fullest
publicity.
Legislation OF the nature l have In
mind has already been enacted In New
York, New Jersey, Iowa, Wisconsin.
Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado and 9TH
er states, and In recent conversation
with the governors Of several OF these
states l have been assured that II has
very largely eliminated the evil 1t
which 1t is directed.
/ emphatically renew the recon-
mendation previously made by me that
you enact a law that will free this
state from the corrupting influence of
the professional lobbyist and provide
for the registration and regulation OF
all persons who appear before the leg
islature or committees thereof to urge
either the passage or defeat OF pending
measures. The law should not apply to
duly accredited counsel or represents
tives OF municipalities. public boards
and public institutions.
An oversight in connection with the
passage OF the bill asking the regular
biennial appropriation for the main
tenance OF the Central Michigan Nor
NAL College at Mt. Pleasant rendered
that act invalid. In order to provide
necessary funds for this praiseworthy
institution, II is necessary that the
] required appropriation be made at this
extra session.

chief of the technologic bureau OF the

ment, warning the American people
that the present prodigious waste OF
these resources must stop at once II
the country Is to continue to prosper.
Prof. Holmes says that the waste OF
coal is appalling. Every possible means
should be adopted. he says, for reduc-
ing the waste to an absolute mini
mum; in order that our fuel resources
may suffice for the future as well as
for the present needs of the nation.

consumption" says Mr.. Holmes. "the
better part OF the fuel supply OF the
country will be gone by the end of the
present century, unless the proper
steps are taken"
Prof. Holmes says that the techno
logic branch OF the geological survey
indicates the possibility OF increasing
the fuel efficiencies by two or three
fold, and suggests still greater posi-
bilities.

says, but the solution of these prob
