Interests Farmers.

One of the bills in which farmers
will be interested was introduced on
Wednesday and gives to owners OF
threshing machines a lien on grain
threshed for the farmer. The bill does
not stand much chance of getting out
of the committee. The State Drainage
Association, which met in Lansing
during the week have recommended a
number of changes in the law and
have asked for a conference with the
drainage committees of the house and
senate, and the revised measure will
probably make its appearance soon.
Farmers will also be pleased to know
that Senator Bates has introduced a
bill providing a penalty for adulterat-
ing paris green or any other powder
or liquid used to destroy insects. The
bill also provides for state seed in

The Salary Bill

The members of both houses we're
greatly interested in the salary bill
which was finally agreed to by both
representatives and senators. The new
constitution fixes their salary at $500
for the session, but does not say how
1t should be paid. The new bill pro
vides that they may draw their pay
every 10 days at s. a day. If the SEQ
sion should not last long enough to
eat up the $500 at this rate they will
draw the balance in a lump before
they go home. 1t is believed this ar
rangement will have a tendency to
make the lawmakers get down to bust
ness.
A couple of new game laws made
their appearance during the week. One
provides for an absolutely closed sea-
son for deer in the state for a period
of 10 years, the other, which does not
seek to disturb the present law as to
season, allows the killing of one deer
to each hunter and that must be a
deer with horns. 1t is certain. how
ever, that there will be changes in the
open season for several kinds of small
game.

Some Converted Titles.

Sixteen Hastings citizens, some of
them known throughout the state,
have been summoned by subpoena to
Oklahoma to tell what they know
about certain land deals. in which
Walter r. Eaton, the secretary of Gov.
Haskell, is said TO be involved. They
are much annoyed thereat This is one
of the cases in which Oklahoma Of
ficials have become involved, and
which have attracted the attention. of
the whole country.
The manner in which the said promi-
nent citizens of this section became
involved in the matter to the extent
of being summoned south is that Gov.
Haskell's private secretary is Walter
r. Eaton, formerly prominent in Has
tings. Eaton was private secretary to
Phil Colgrove at the time Colgrove
was supreme chancellor of the Knights
of Pythias of the World. When he re-
moved to the southwest he carried
with him the high regard of his fell
low citizens. Thus it happened that
when 16 quit claim deeds to certain
public lands in Oklahoma were re-
ceived in Hastings by 16 several local
people, with the request that title to
the lands be converted to Eaton, the
request was cheerfully complied with.
Now comes the question as to the
validity of the titles, the Oklahoma
law providing that one man shall hold
but one claim, as is understood in this
section.

The Junket itinerary.

Preparations have been practically
completed for the usual big junket to
the upper peninsula. 1t is announced
about 20 will go Notwithstanding it is
settled that they will get only their
actual expenses. 1t is also stated that
quite a party of ladies will make the
trip, but it is doubtful II this predic-
tion materializes. Two Pullman cars
will be ready for the party at Grand
Rapids the evening of January Both
and the first stop will be at Newberry,
where the insane asylum will be in
spected. They will then proceed to
Marquette and the copper country re-
turning home by the way of Chicago.
Two days in advance of this, the com
mittee on fisheries will leave with
the fish commission and fish cars for
a tour of all the hatcheries of the
state. The third junket will consist Of
the house and senate committees on
the investigation of the water ways
of the state and will leave Detroit jan
uary 20. The sergeant-at-arms of the
house, secretary of the senate, stem.
ographer, one local and two govern.
ment photographic engineers from
Washington will accompany this party,
which will hold official hearings at the
Soo Escanaba and Menominee. They
will connect with the main junket at
Marquette and be with them during a
portion of their trip.

The Veto Power.

Attorney General Bird has found an
other weak spot in the new constitu-
tion,' based on an inquiry made by the
senate committee on finance and APP
preparations, which may be of consid-
cradle Importance before the session
of the legislature is over. The constitu-
ton gives the governor the power to
veto specific items in appropriation
bills, and the attorney general was
asked whether this bound the legisla-
ture to itemize all appropriation bills.
In answer the attorney general says
while not expressly impressing upon
the legislature the duties of separat-
ing items in appropriation bills, that
course is contemplated by the provis-
ion so framed as to permit the gov
ernor to exercise his constitutional
prerogative. | think that all appropri-
ations susceptible of division into dis
tinct items should be so divided.
IF the legislature does not see fit
to so change the appropriation bills
/ do not know that there is any
remedy"
This means that the legislature CAP
really do as it sees fit.

Notes Of Men, Things and Happenings
Gathered Here and There About the
State Briefly Teld.

Michigan's hope for further modifica-
ton on the foot.and-mouth quarantine
has been temporarily blasted.
Thirty-five new cases of the disease
have been discovered in Lancaster
county, Pa. This has disturbed the
agricultural department officials from
a growing feeling of security. based
upon the belief that they had exter'
minated the pest. The result is to
make them more conservative about
lifting the quarantine in other Sec
tions, although they have no informa-
ton of other outbreaks than that in
Pennsylvania. 1t had been fully
planned that the farmers in the parts
of Michigan still under rigid quaran-
tine would be allowed to sell off their
fattened stock by an order TO be issued
Thursday This order will not be is
sued as contemplated. and the whole
question will again be thrown open.

To Dig the Saginaw River.

A joint effort for the improvement
of the Saginaw river is being made
by Congressman Loud and Fordney.
They have each introduced a bill ap-
propriating 100000 to provide a 20
foot channel from Saginaw bay to
Saginaw. This bill will not pass at
this session of congress, and 1T was
not expected to- But 1t has served to
open the eyes of the members of the
committee on rivers and harbors,
which was the purpose in introducing
it.
Messrs. Fordney and Loud have un-
dertaken this project for the primary
purpose of affording an outlet for the
coal of the Saginaw valley coal field.
They say there are 100000 tons of
this coal already in sight, and more
is being developed every day.
What they want at this session OF
congress is small appropriation for
a survey. and their only hope of get
ting this was in making strong show
ing of the business situation in the
Saginaw valley.

EoaeIsann Did Not Profit.

AS a result of disclosures made at
Springport Henry p. Fogelsang, cash
Ter of the defunct Springport bank. is
vindicated in the minds of his fellow
citizens.
The state bank examiner, who has
been investigating the affairs of the
bank, has been much puzzled; he
knew there was a shortage. but could
find in the books nothing to show
where 1t had gone. Fogelsang claimed
that it had all been used TO finance
the Young hay deals and that he had
not benefited in the least by 1t. Mon
day book was found which proves
the truth of his claim, as it shows
his dealings with Young in particular.
AS a result Fogelsang's townsmen
have decided it was simply a case OF
becoming involved in losing transac-
ton and covering it up to prevent loss
to the depositors and stockholders Of
his bank.

Institutions Want Larger Sums.

The spirit of economy was apparent
in the discussion by members of the
committees on various state institu-
tions as to the amount of the appro-
priations they have asked. They could
not see why the warden of the Jack
son penitentiary needed a $500 car
riage and a $500 team. The warden of
the Marquette prison also asks for an
expensive carriage but does not say
how he expects it to be drawn nor for
what purpose he expects TO use it. The
Ionia prison wants a $4,000 aerial
railroad that does not seem to be es-
sential to the success of the institu-
ton. They all want something and
some of them want a great deal. The
Lapeer Home for the Feeble Minded
is asking for over $350,000 and the
Adrian Industrial School for Girls
wants about 100000. and so it goes
through the whole list. 1t is safe to say
that the amount asked for will be cut
in two before the committee on ways
and means allows the requests to go
from their hands.

VILLAGE Bank Robberies.

Senator Aiken believes that the rea-
son so many village banks are robbed
is because the yeggmen are aware
that the law requires the bank to keep
a reserve of so per cent. He has there
fore introduced bill applying to cities
of less than $500 so that they need
not keep on hand more than % per
cent in cash. Senator Wettmore de-
sired it understood that he knew some
thing about banks himself, so he in
troduced a measure requiring the
bonds of banks which are state de-
positories, to be approved by the com.
missioner of insurance and banking
commissioner, instead of by the attor.
ney general and secretary of state, as
now required.

the senate at the present session. APP
peared before the meeting of the Mich
igan Republican Editors association
in Lansing TO explain the provisions of
his new bill and some of the editors
objected TO II because IL did not go
far enough. They expressed them
selves in favor of a measure which
would include every officer elected by
the people from governor down to cor
oner. A rising vote was taken on the
subject and seven of those present
voted in favor of limiting the primary
to governor, lieutenant-governor, con-
gressmen and members of the legisla-
ture. All the others voted for a man.
datory primary to include everybody.
A majority of the members of the as
ISOLATION also took exceptions to the
date provided for taking the advisory
vote on United States senators. The
Dickinson bill provides that it shall
be taken in August, but the editors
wanted it taken in November, instead.

The Great Water Powers.

M. c. Layton, of the geological sur
vey, says that the water power de-
veloped in the state now amounts to
203, 631 horse power "The greater part
of the power developed in Michigan
is recent. 1t shows that the develop
ment OF power within the state has
only just begun. In fact the biggest
development in Michigan is the COM
bination of a number of sites connect
ed electrically. In this way each site
contributes its proportion and the
whole power is delivered over a wire
as though IL came from one site. The
Grand Rapids & Muskegon Power
company deveoped 50,940 horse power.
Some of the other large powers al
ready developed are at the Sault Ste.
Marie, about $4,000 horse power; the
Kalamazoo at Jackson, 14,300 horse
power; the St. Joseph river in Berrien
county. 10000 horse power, and the
Menominee in Dickinson county. 10;
500 horse power.
There are 20 more power develop
ments in the state that run from 1000
horse power down. In the whole state
there are $40 developed powers. There
are 1,4S6 water wheels in the state
with an average of 40 horse power
per wheel This shows comparative
large installation, because in the state
of Maine, where the powers are of
early installation, each wheel averages
only 120 horse power"

The olazIer Case.

Judge West. in denying the motion
to direct a verdict OF acquittal in the
case of former State Treasurer Frank
p. Glazier held that II was unlawful
for the defendant, as state treasurer,
to deposit state funds In a bank in
which he was a stakeholder. Therefore
Glaciers fate hangs upon the thread
OF whether the jury finds that he had
felonious intent in making such de-
posits.
The decision of Judge West would
embrace nearly every treasurer the
state has ever had, 1t having been
the custom for years for the state
treasurer TO keep a large deposit In
his own bank.
II was evident from the courts de-
cision that he held to the severest
possible construction of the law of
1875 governing the safeguarding of
public moneys. Section 1899, relating
to the conduct of public officials in
safeguarding public moneys, provides
that mo such official shall under any
pretense, use, or allow to be used, any
such moneys for any purpose other
than in accordance with the provisions
of law; nor shall he use the same for
his personal use, or loan the same to
any person, firm or corporation with.
out authority TO do So"
Section 1901 provides that sin no
case shall any such officer, directly or
indirectly, receive any pecuniary or
valuable consideration as an induce
ment for the depositing of public
moneys in any particular bank, per
son, firm or corporation"
