Opinions Are Termed

LANSING, Dec. cit IL the view
OF politicians at the capital that the
dope handed out by Democratic State
Central Committee Secretary Ray
Garfield from washington, regarding
Governor-elect Ferris having reached
an agreement with his enemies In CIV
ing out OF state Offices is all rot. Folks,
who know the schoolmaster believe
nothing win be considered In the
selection OF men TO ill state positions
but fitness, and that Mr.. Ferris won't
permit ofices to be filled by political
hogs to humor any set OF party ex-
ploiteys.
Ferris knows his nomination and
election were in spite OF this organiza-
ton rather than because OF II, and he
knows too well that In order to carry
out his ideals he must be surrounded
by men who are In sympathy with
him to the limit. In fact, II IL freely
talked that John Kinnane (who was
one OF Gov Osborn's mistakes) will
be lucky to hold his job until his term
expires.

ed by the gangsters, but will rely on
giving the state OF Michigan such an
administration that they will desire
more Of II when his first term IL I'm
ished. II Is even surmised here that
the Republican officeholders who have
made good records are not likely to be
disturbed.
In fact, from the information one
gets from those who ought to know
something as to what to expect, the
political pirates will have little consid-
Grafton at the hands OF the incoming
administration, Gov.-elect Ferris pre-
ferring to consider the sentiment and
good will of the whole public rather
than a few mercenaries.
All the foregoing is speculative. Of
course, but II springs from an appre-
citation of the kind Of stun the un-
afraid educator OF Big Rapids is made
Of.
The incoming executive Is not say
Ing anything himself. except to allow
In that quiet way OF his that, while he
hopes to be very humble, he will con-
tinue to be Ferris and will remember
that 1t is all Of Michigan he IL com

MEMBERS OF EXCHANGE
SUBPOENAED BY CONGRESS
Will Be Quixzed by Pujo Com
mittee Concerning "Close
Corporation"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Batteries
OF the house money trust" investigat-
ing committee were turned today d.
rectly upon the New York stock ex-
change. Several OF the directors or
the big money mart have been sub
pened TO testify next week. when the
committee resumes Its inquiry.
The subpenes for the exchange gov
errors we're generally regarded today
as most significant, following the first
information yesterday from Chairman
Pujo. of the committee, as given the
United Press, that denial OF the malls
and prosecution under the antitrust
laws was being considered as result
Of the committee probe.
Inside information regarding the or
ganization and management OF the
New York exchange Ii sought from
the governors II was stated authori
tatively today. They will be quizzed
to expose the alleged close corpora
ton"
The money trust" committee pro-
poses TO show TO the nation, II was
learned today, just how much the ex-
change governors dominate the for
tunes OF exchange members, as well
as controlling listing" of securities.
Bearing upon the charge that stock
and some produce exchanges are con
spiracies In restrain OF trade" and
as such subject to prosecution under
the Sherman law, as Chairman Pujo
believes, testimony will be drawn
from the governors regarding minute
details OF their operations.
D,,s he IN
offer evidence 10 support the follow
ing contentious:
That seats or memberships in the
New York exchange are limited TO a
select few, held at exorbitant prices,
thus barring hundreds Of legitimate
brokers from free and unrestricted
commerce.
That the governors have almost un-
limited arbitrary power to cancel any
membership.
That 1t Is impossible TO secure a
seat" without the tact or actual con
sent of great financial powers.
That arbitrary authority exists to
admit or bar stocks and bonds from,
"listing''-the privilege OF being trad
ed in upon the floor.
That the curb exchange Is me
dunn OF commerce forced upon brok
ers and bankers, often unwillingly BY
the dominant Interests" of the stock
exchange. ~
These and other facts, Puto said
will show the potential II not actual
existence OF the operations Of a rea
money trust"
Today the full banking committee o.
the house met. Chairman Pujo report
ing the progress of the inquiry ant
announcing the prospective witnesse:
next week. Samuel Untermeyef, at
torney for the committee, is expected
here Sunday, in preparation for th'
! taking OF testimony Monday.

PRESIDENTS OF THREE
UNIVERSITIES CONFER

President Hutchins, OF the Univer'
sity OF Michigan; President Snyder
of Michigan Agricultural college, and
President McNair. OF the Houghton
College OF Mines, met in the Hotel
Pontchartrain. Thursday afternoon.
for conference on affairs which
touch the three schools jointly.
II was decided to try to arrange the
curricula OF the three schools TO avoid
duplication OF special courses. Each
school will attempt to confine itself TO
It's own work, and not duplicate the
work Of the others in higher courses.
though the fundamental work must OF
necessity be duplicated to a consider
able extent.
The presidents are considering the
plan OF making the entrance require
ments of the three schools as nearly
alike as possible.
+ President McNair expressed the
hope that Gov. Ferris would give the
sanction and encouragement to these
conferences which Gov. Osborn has
given. He said that many more meet
ings would be needed to fulfill all the
plans which are under discussion.

There are in the United States,
Thousands or men who are making

would follow the golden rule there
would be no granting Of license to the
saloon. For so much money we give
permission to saloonkeeper to make
men drunk. and then punish the men
for drinking. We license the saloons
to make drunkards, paupers and crirn-
mails and then tax honest men to take
care OF them. We tax ourselves for

license saloons to destroy II.
