leave "a lasting impression upon the
governmental structure of Michigan.
Taxation fundamentals cannot be dis
tur5ed from year TO year They must
follow settled preCepts For the first
time In nearly half century, we pro-
Iose 10 change these prccepts. our

lac present I'm existence. II is liable To
change our entire attitude and method
LOT approach. The Herald frankly con-
lesscs that il is too deeply interested
in seeing this gigantic proposition
worked out 10 scientific, satisfactory
and permanent conclusion TO feel the
slightest interest in that expensive
haste which would throw the PROPOSE
tiOu into twenty day session of the
legislature where the physical limita-
.tion Of time alone would prevent that
exhaustive consideration which must
preccde the formation of a permanent
.ly successful law.
Almost the same proposition can he
repeated in connection with the prob
lem of employers liability and work
mems compensation. Michigan must
have progressive and aggressive leg
islation upon this all-important- econ
omic problem of the modern day. But
temporary progress viii dclay-if it
does not actually defcat-permanent
and substantial progress of the sort to
which Michigan is entitled. The Os-
born administration has laid the foun-
dalton for the most scientifically accu-
rate statute upon this subject which
exists In any state i'm the Union, and
the Osborn administration will carry it
TO happy finality. But the admins
tration in our humble judgment will
risk its own opportunity to render the
fullest measure of service I'm this di-
rcction if it should make that haste
(via the special session route) which
so often spells but waste.
SO we can see no good from a spe-
cial session of the legislature. Twelve
months of Investigation and consider
alton on the part of both the elector-
ate and prospective members of the
next legislature, is none too much at
tcntion To pay to these two great
problems which, in themselves. are the
only issues for consideration of a spe-
cial session.
If special session comes, we ap-
prehend that the problems will be
treated with all of the conscientious
consideration which is physically pos
sible within the brief days that will
number the sessions extent. But our
matured judgment runs i'm contrary
direction-and our observation sug-
gests that this opinion is very largely
shared by the electorate of the state
which is displaying no overanxiety to
have it's legislature extraordinarily
convened at Lansing.
