The Tariff Onestinn.

The tariff discussion in the u .
S. Senate still wends its weary
way from day to day and week
to week and no man dareS pre-

indeed, will be the country, if
after many days law shall
finally be enacted that will prove
advantageous to the people-to
the great mass of the common
people, rather than to the trusts,
the vested interests, the multi
millionaires. Left to such lead
ers as Senator Nelson w. AL
drich and his coadjutors, there
would be little hope, but Presi-
dent Taft is yet to be reckoned
with and it is to him the people
are looking for relief and full

The Legislature.

The Legislature of 1909 quit
doing business on the 10Th day
of the present month, but final
ad journment was postponed un-
til June 2nd in order that the
new laws might be properly en-
crossed, presented to and approx
ed by Governor Warner as requir-
ed by the constitution Of the
state.
1t cannot be truthfully claimed
that this Legislature was com
posed of remarkably brainy lot
of men. On the contrary, there
were numerous members who did
not rise above mediocrity and
who were but poorly equipped
for the important duty of franz
ing legislation for the 5000, 900
of people, more or less, that con-
stitute the population of the
great and prosperous state of
Michigan.
Nevertheless there were a few
men in both houses particularly
well equipped for the work they
had to perform and these men, by
the course of natural selection
became leaders, both in the sen
ate and the house. Prominent
among these leaders was Judge
Benz f. Heckert, Van Buren, S
able representive, No man on
the floor Of the house was more
influential than he and no repre-
sentive'S counsel and advice was
more frequently sought or more
often followed Whatever may
or may not have been the stu
alton at other times, the legisla.
ture of 1909 knew that Van Blu
rem county was on the map.
The session was materially
shorter than any session in re-
cent years, the work having been
concluded in 1873 days. A con-
siderable number of important
laws were placed upon the stat
ute books, while large number
of bills were smothered in the
committee rooms or killed upor
the floor of the house or senate
The greater number of proposed
measures that thus fell by the
wayside were of minor impor
lance and some of them would
have done more harm than gooC
had they been engrafted upor
the laws of the state. Very little
legislation for which there wa.
any popular demand failed of en-
actment.

new statutes are the home rule
