GIasgow's Letter.

The letter of the COMMITTEES, which
rs sfgred by 'chairman Glasgow, fol-
lows, in part:
Il have your favor of the goth, ask
ing for a written opinion by the COM
mission as 10 the merits of house en-
rolled act No. 139 also senate enrolled
act No. 115. We are pleased to ad-
wise as follows:
I'm relation to senate enrolled act
No. 115 (Which is the Moriarty- Jones
bill referred to above), being an act to
regulate charges for transporting ex-
press packages; to prescribe certain
regulations for forwarding the same to
prohibit the establishment of joint
agencies by express companies. and to
provide for the enforcement Of the
provisions of this act.
Il am pleased to advise, firstly. that
we find said act requires the express
companies of the state of Michigan to
transport any package of five pounds
or less, between any two points in this
state, regardless of whether such
transportation requires the use of one
or more lines, for a charge not to ex-
ceed 25 cents.
"The commission are of the opinion
that this act should not become a law.
House enrolled act No. III includes
what appears to the commission TO be
full and ample requirements relative
to the transportation Of packages by
express in state. We do not believe
the charge of 25 cents sufficient to
cover expense and produce any rev.
enue for the performance of the serv-
ice required by this bill in many in
stances. When it requires package
to be carried from one extreme por-
tion OF the state to the other: for in
stance. from Calumet or Houghton TO
the city of Detroit. in which it must of
express companies, in order to follow
the most direct route, an expense is
cntailed in the performance of this
service which is greater than 25 cents,
and we do not believe that any trans
portation company should or could be
IeQulTtu DN law 10 ptIlOTil "a SeINlIt
which does not show a reasonable mar
gin of profit.
SECONDLY, the charge for the trans
portation of merchandise or other COM
modities by express is based, to a cer-
tain extent, and reasonably so, upon
the value of the package or commodi-
ty thus transported, the reasonable
charge for such service in both ex-
press and freight service, being based
upon the amount of refund demanded
by the shippers or consignee in case Of
loss or damage TO such shipments. and
TO require the transportation company
20 transport nine pounds Of broken
cast iron, or cheese, or jewelry, or any
Of the many commodities. varying in
price for the same charge, is not, in
the judgment of the commission, rea-
sonable and just or to be required TO
transport, under like conditions, per-
ishable property for the same price
is not reasonable.

AUTO PREJUDICE
Is SWEPT AWAY
HEAD OF GREAT MOTOR CON-
PANY SAYS THAT WHAT THE
AUTOMOBILE HAS DONE FOR
GOOD ROADS HAS SWEPT
AWAY OLD PREJUDICE.

.'The old fashioned prejudice against
automobiles was swept away almost
instantly by the country's sudden re-
aiization Of what the motor car had
done for the good roads movement, ("
said N. A. Hawkins. commercial man
ager Of the Ford Motor Co. In q re-
cent utterance.
Just think Of that demonstration
held In Alabama a day or two ago In
establishing another link in that
states model highway system! Why.
one of the probate Judges. basing his
remarks on reports from the farmers,
stated that the agricultural lands Of
Alabama had been enhanced in value
to the extent of 1910, 900 by the ex-
penditure Of $40, 600 in the good roads
movement. And the good roads
movement is Just one phase OF auto
mobile progress.
"AIabama's progress has been only
typical of other commemorative, and
thus you see that the motor car is
entitled to the credit of advancing
civilization In the United States 100
years"
The reports we TSCSIV6Q IFOr1 our
Alabama dealers" said Mr.. Hawkins,
told OF splendid enthusiasm ali over
the state because of what the motor
car had done for Alabama. United
States Senator Bankhead. who was
done much in q national way for good
roads, was a participant in the run
and other big men doomed the excel
lent work. All along the route, ova-
tions were rendered the good roads
boosters. The newspapers OF the
towns en- route gave up whole pages
to the cause. there were addresses by
the mayors OF practically all the
towns, meetings In the operahouses
and halls, cities festooned with bunt-
ing. banQuets and all those things that
follow in the wake of real enthusiasm
And he automobile was responsible foi
40 all.
Judging by the speed at which the
good roads cause is advancing, II Il
reasonable to believe that the dis
graceful highways which retarded
Americas progress for so long will
soon be only memory.

two clowns, sweeping song by the
third grade OF the city school were
well received and added to the pleas
ure of the evenings. Besides these
numbers by pupils in the normal and
city schools. there were two others
largely from the same. These were
the musical farce, Muss and the Doll
Carriaae Parade. The entire pro-
gramme reflected much credit upon all
who took part and as well upon the
programme committee Of the club
which consisted Of Miss Dunlap, Miss
Brant, Mrs. Travis, Miss Eddy and Mrs
Ylvisaker.
The members Of the faculty and
their wives were the guests OF Mr..
and Mrs. Correli and Mr.. and MRS.
Fox on Tuesday evening at the home
of the latter. The occasion was an
Halloween party. Jack o. lanterns
lighted the way TO the door and
sheeted ghosts babe the guests enter
and conducted them TO the dressing
room. After a half hour OF pleasant
conversation, the ghosts again made
their appearance and pointed the way
to the basement where the usual Hal
loween stunts of bobbing for apples,
etc, were generously enjoyed, especial
" by those successful In securing the
APPLE without receiving hair bath.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
with the black cats, owls. witches and
pumpkins and lighted through the
Jack o. lanterns. IT all made a very
pretty effect. During the evening
the search for black cats and ptinap-
kins that had been scattered about
the rooms, together with the arrans-
ing these in booklets In artistic de-
signs, revealed the prowess and the
artistic temperament OF the several
persons present. Mr.. Butterfield was
successful In capturing the head prize
by finding thirty eight cats and pump
kins and arranging them In such a
manner as to win the commentator
Of everybody. The short programme
Of music. consisting Of Instrumental
solos by Mrs. Tharaadsen. vocal solos
by Mrs. Travis and violin solos by
Mr.. Fox was an added pleasure and
the sumptuous refreshments served by
the ghosts were such as to lead to a
full feeling and pleasant dreams. 1t
was a most enjoyable evening.
