Records in Arenac County Show Big
Falling OF Of Whisky ImpOrta-
tons Since County Has Been Dry.

STANDISH. Mich, March 24.-M'
ID. Snow prosecuting attorney In this
county for one OF two terms, Is speak
ing for the "wets" in Genessee coun-
ty. In his speech in Flint he made
the statement that there was far more
whisky drunk in Arenac county tnan
ever before.
This is false statement. as shown
by the freight records. During the
"wetn regime they show that eacn
week Is half barrels OF beer, and about
so cases OF beer were shipped 70
Standish. There were only 10 gal
Ions OF whisky shipped In during the
whole of the past year during the time
county has been dry. So to sum
marize there were instead OF SO bar
rels OF whisky sent here legitimately
only about two barrels,
He made statements also regarding
small boys being drunk In the puoiic
park here during the year which no
one can be found TO vouch for, or that

(From q star CorrespopdentJ
LANSING, Mich. March 25.--Two
young legislative employees were civ.
en- lesson In oficial honesty by Gov.
Osborn yesterday and will not soon
forget 1t.
The boys were allowed actual
travelling expenses to and from Lam
sing. Among other items they put
in a bill for $145 each for meals.
Speaker Baker disallowed the bills,
and the boys took their appeal TO the
governor.
1T was just exactly what the meals
cost us" maintained one OF the boys.
II have no doubt of that" replied
Gov Osborn. Il know you are honest
boys and would not steal penny;
but don't you know that you would
not have spent $l.45 for a meal IL
you had been travelling at your own
expense?
II don't blame you, because this Is
the very thing that has always been
done, only on a much larger scale in
many cases. The states officials see
that they have chance. and they
proceed to get their hands into tho
pile, and as q result We have the pres
ent deficit.
During all the time that ] have
been in public life. have tried to
make myself realize that the states
money is just as much to be cared
for as my own. never put in bill
for meal larger than so cents;
sometimes only seven cents. ! never
buy a s145 meal for myself, because
| feel that | can't afford II; and ! Will
not charge IL up to the state.
This trying TO get something for
nothing il what has caused all our
state troubles. and hope that you
boys won't start grabbing just in the
time when your characters are form
ing"
The boys promised that. they would
drop their claims and went out thank
ing the governor. SANFoRp'

present. They will have full oppor-
tunity 10 answer the charges made
against them when the formal exam
ination takes place IL one Is held nee
essary."
The committee got surprise when
II arrived in Detroit, Friday. TO begin
its inquiry. The surprise consisted
of proposal from President Thomas
Newton, Of the fair association. Tor
the state TO become part manager oil
the fair, the present corporation 70
retain all the financial responsibility
and Indebtedness, but the state To
have an equal voice In the direction
of the exhibition. This proposal
proved a genuine shock TO the mem
bers of the committee. for they had
no thought that the management or
the fair entertained any idea OF
taking the state in as partner.
They had been led 10 believe that
the fair was a regular gold mine for
the corporation running IL. and that
no outside parties could in any way
have a say In its management.
Fred Postal, president OF the fair
in 1910. told the committee that II
was very much desired that the state
should become connected with the
fair, because OF the present uncer-
tain condition in regard TO the per-
manent location of the fair. As
matters stand now, Mr.. Postal point
ed out, il Is possible for any one 20
buy control OF the fair for about
$4,000. This control could be Sc
cured by the purchase OF 1000 mem
| bership tickets at 81 each. Each
membership ticket Is worth vote In
the annual meeting of the fair, and
1000 votes could easily carry any
project suggested by the man In
possession OF them, Mr.. Postal ex-
planned. Thus. the state fair could
be removed to any point outside ol
Detroit IN any annual meeting under
the present conditions.
Mr.. Postal thought, in justice tc
the Detroiters who had put up $780,
900 TO bring the fair to Detroit and
get Il established here, the state
should take steps to become a part
owner OF the fair. He suggested, al
a safeguard, that the legislature
every two years. elect 10 directors
for the fair, while the fair would

two years. The officers, he said
should be elected, as now, by thu
members, but the state would have

Mr.. Postal also explained that th'

himself. had an interest in the Driv
