THE STATE GRANGE NET At KALAMAZOO

The session of the Michigan State
Grange just closed in Kalamazoo,
while somewhat stormy, was, on the
whole, pleasant and profitable.
Not so many legislative questions
as usual were discussed, owing TO the
fact that the state legislature will
not meet this year, but the Grange
again went on record with a strong
resolution favoring The initiative, re-
fcrendum and recall, also favoring
state wide prohibition and equal sui
frage. For the first time, it also de-
clarcd for government ownership Of
public utilities, and the withdrawal
of all timber, mineral and coal lands
from sale, the same TO be leased on
terms favorable 10 the public. Par

members of the executive committee

largely controls these policies, the
two factions have striven for supre-
macy through the control of this
committee. The committee has been
about evenly divided for several years
