Lansing, Mich, January 21.-To
1unket or not to junket. was one of
the propositions before the legislature
for several days, but a quietly laid
plan for the house committees to
enjoy real old fashioned junkets to
the state institutions by special car,
with all the trimmings that in former
years were recognized as a requisite,
was promptly nipped in the bud.
Speaker Currie vigorously opposed
the ambitions of some of the commit
teemen, and in this he was strenu-
ously supported by Representative
Hinkley, of Emmett, chairman of the
house ways and means committee.
Representative Hinkley fixed his
stamp of .dlsapproval and announced
that no member OF his committee
would accompany such trips. The
outcome of the controversy was that
the proverbial pleasure tours are
abolished for this session, although

In accordance with q more rational
view of the situation, some of the
committees this week will visit the
institutions they are appointed to
look after in a genuinely business
capacity. SGD
Time was when the bienniel junkets
OF the legislative committees were
regular pleasure tours, with due re-
gard to the good time promised
rather than the real business Involved.
That there will be no side issues to
the institution visits this session is
refreshing to the people Of the state,
who OF old wearied of paying good
money in taxes for the entertainment

his home has been at Grand Rapids
since 1872.
State Grange Comes Forward.
Talk that plan was afoot to fore
stall progressive legislation promptly
brought forward vigorous opposition
to any such procedure. It was openly
declared that if the scheme was per
sisted in there would be things doing
in Lansing that would create a real
tempest 1t was emphatically stated
that promises of progressive legisla-
ton should be made good else there
would be an accounting. The State
Grange was not slow to step in and
take a hand. The Changers called

men and methods in the law-making

Several important measures were

question of the repeal of the mortgage

MAJOR DIXON RELIEVED.

Frankfort, Ky.-Maj. Wiley Dixon,

that generals office, was relieved from
the detail by order of Governor Nc
Creary. Maj. Dixon, who is a candi-
date for clerk of the senate, asked to
be relieved from the detail on January
6 in the event of his election. Col. j.
Tandy Ellis, acting adjutant general,
according to Maj. Dixon. presented the
request to Governor McCreary, who
said he was willing to grant it, but
with the condition left out. When
Col. Ellis presented the governors an
swer to Maj, Dixon, the latter said he
did not wish to be relieved unless he
became clerk of the senate. At the
same time, he announced his determ-
ination to seek the Office and said
asking to be relieved Internationally
would be equivalent to resigning, for
which reason he refused to change
the wording of his request Col. Ellis
then told him If he intended to run
he ought to resign. Maj. Dixon de
clined to do this and was presented
with an order signed by the governor
relieving him from the detail effective

BOARD OF TRADE
Is Organized at Louisville To Replace
Leaf Tobacco Exchange.

Louisville, Ky.-Resulting from a
movement launched last summer, the
Louisville Leaf Tobacco Board of
Trade was organized by tobacco men
of Louisville and the state, to succeed
the Louisville Leaf Tobacco Exchange.

The principal objects of the new
company are to provide a new and
modern method of marketing tobacco
for growers out of the state and to
regulate the manner and method of in
specting the tobacco shipped into
Louisville to be sold. The company
will also try to inaugurate reforms
which will preserve Louisvilles for
mer reputation as the largest tobacco
market in the world.
No public announcements have been
made by the new organization, how
ever, ii is learned that w. G. Bridges,
of the Pickett warehouse, has been
chosen president and Helm Glover,

Millions Of Red Cross Christmas Seals
10 be Sold for i-Tuberev
iosls Work.

Few people have any idea Of the
magnitude OF the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign. This year over 1907
100000 seals have been printed and
distributed. II placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 2,400
miles, or practically from New York
to Salt Lake City. They have been
sent to over $4,000 different agents
and will be sold and handled by an
army of not less than 100000 volun-
teers, including men, women and chill
dren. Millions OF advertising circu-
lars have been scattered throughout
the country, and so thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or.
ganized that II Is doubtful II many
people in the more populous states
Of the country will not have heard of
the Red Cross seal and its mission in
the prevention OF tuberculosis. II is
hoped that at least 50,000,000 seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale Of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
Is needed to cover the actual cost of
printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commu-
nifty, where the seals are sold
