The ONE BOARD PLAN.

A bill will go before the legislature
shortly TO make a clean sweep of the
boards which have control of Michi-
CAMS eighteen asylums, reformatories
and penal institutions, and establish
in their place a Michigan state board
of control Of three members. The bill
will provide that each member Of the
board, which is TO be bipartisan, shall
draw an annual salary Of $4,000 and
expenses, with offices at Lansing and
secretary at a salary Of $4,000, to-
gether with such stenographers and
clerks as may be necessary. 1t is ex-
pected the bill win meet with determ-
ined opposition, despite the fact that
Gov. Osborn is in favor Of the system,
claiming that II will reduce the ex-
pense Of maintenance and provide bet
ter management. Representatives from
communities in which these institu-
tions are located are largely against
the measure on the ground that the
proposed plan Of operation would not
be satisfactory. AS many parts of
the state are Interested and members of
the present board undoubtedly will feel
it is a DETECTION on them and add
their opposition, it is the general opin-
ion there will be the best job OF op-
position against that particular bill of
any introduced this session.
The measure provides the new board
shall assume duties in 1912. and at
that time the term Of office OF all war
dens and superintendents are to ex-
pire. except those appointed for def
mite period. Radical changes are pro-
posed in the method of handling the
funds of the institutions. At the pres
ent their treasurers I'm most cases
draw upon the state treasury for es-
timated amounts and place the money
in local banks TO be used as required
The new measure would require that
all except $1,000 be retained at the
state treasury TO be drawn from there
upon vouchers made by the board. II

GIVE POWER TO PEOPLE.

Governor Osborn is in serious earn
est in his views on the initiative and
referendum. 1T would be more ridicu-
lous for the manufacturer TO distrust
his boilers that furnish steam for the
operation of his plant than that a gov
ernor or any other public official
should distrust the people" is the way
he prefaces some observations on the
plan: THE people are the boilers of
government" he says: 1T is from the
people we gain the motive power for
governmental affairs. All real reforms
come as a direct result of oppression
or compression. 1t is like the steam
in the boiler or the penned gases in
the champaign bottle. There must be
compression that power may be Great
ed. And therefore the boiler forms a
particularly apt simile. 1t is oppres
sion that reacts in gubernatorial af-
fairs-oppression of the people. 1t is
an elastic proposition. This oppres-
sion may go on and on, just as the
steam gradually is compressed in the
boiler, until the pressure becomes so
great the safety valve opens or an ex-
pansion takes place in the cylinders of
the engine creating power and motion.
In mechanical practices the aim of the
engineer is to prevent loss through
transmission. Therefore he gets the
engine as near the boiler as possible
We can carry the same idea into gov
ernmental affairs. When oppression
becomes too great it takes the form of
power through the peoples franchise
and the nearer we have the govern
ment to the people the better and
quicker will be the results The manu-
facturer trusts his boilers and we must
trust the people. In the long run they
will not go wrong. when you put 1t
right up 10 them IL carries the weight
Of responsibility that no man will fail
TO appreciate. You know the average
child has to be burned once or twice
before it will avoid fire. Just so with
the people. Give them the power.
They may go wrong once possibly
twice, but each mis-step will be worth
all it costs in education. They won't
make mistakes repeatedly. And after
all the government cannot be any bet
ter than the people"

The object Of King Georges advisers
in instituting criminal libel proceed
ings against Edward +. Myius, Of the
staff Of the Liberator, was to bring to
an end in the briefest possible manner
the circulation of the story that, be-
fore his marriage to queen Mary. the
British monarch was morganaticaly
married at Malta TO a daughter of a
British admiral. English sentiment in
regard to such matters differs from
that of people on the continent. The
circulation Of the scandal would have
injured the standing Of King George
with his people, and 1t may be auspi-
cious for his reign that Myths has
been guilty Of circulating a criminal
libel, and sentenced.

our Canadian friends are evincing
an active interest i'm the automobile
and motor car industry, and thous-
ands Of cars made i'm the United
States have been sold i'm the Dominion.
The field is ripe for similar action all
through Canada as prevails i'm the
states. And to meet the demands for
the trade in that country, several of
the more prominent American manu-
facturers have recently established
branch factories. In view of the fact
that there is little or no likelihood
of the S5 per cent duty being reduced
or withdrawn, it becomes necessary
to manufacture and sell direct. There
arc some companies who have as
sembled cars in Canada, and sold
them there. but up to the present time
there is not single concern in the en-
tire Dominion of Canada that makes
it's parts and turns out it's own ma
chine complete. 1t is simply done by
assembling the parts.
Negotiations are now pending, how
ever, which will provide for manufac-
turtles being established i'm the near
future in several of the principal cities
of Canada. Toronto. ottawa, Winni-
peg, Vancouver and Montreal, and
quite likely Halifax. are the points
directly interested.
