are made, covering wide range, OF

Fare of 81, cents for passengers
north of the straits of Mackinac
Mining royalty and income tax also
income tax for corporations.
The initiative, referendum and re-
call.
On tie liquor question the governor
says:
Temperance is a matter OF personal
discipline and is more of a moral and
social problem than political. Govern
ment by saloon and brewery must go.
In communities where saloons exist,
there should not be more than one to
1000 population, and breweries should
be divorced from their ownership.
