amendment bills. The most important
of these calls for the examination and
o. X. by the banking department of
banks which desire to liquidate for the
purpose of consolidation. Senator
ANDERSON introduced bill providing
that every man to be admitted to law
practise, must first take the exami-

Michigan or a recognized law school.
Revise Election Law.
Michigan's entire list of election
laws is to be revised by the present
legislature. The progressive elemnt
among the republicans in the state
senate took up the matter of a revi.
sion of the primary and decided that
not only the primary, but the general
election law too, should be completely
revised.
Senator James called the elections
committee together for considera-
ton of the election law questions and
it was voted to draw up bills for pri-
mary and election law revision which
should be submitted to the senate
following the ten day recess. 1t will
be known as the elections committee
bill and will not bear the name of any
individual member. The committee is
unanimous on this score and all of
the senators will take a hand in max
ing it the most progressive and work
able bill possible.
Opposes Prize Fighting.
Il do not favor the licensing of
anything that is compromise between
brutality and kindergarten methods,
said Gov. Ferris when the proposal for
state boxing commission was sub
mitted to him. Lam opposed to prize
fighting; unutterably opposed to it. l
for all real athletics. But prize tigh-
ting is not to be included under either
of these heads. when you attempt
to license boxing contests and elimi-
more than can be worked out at least
by political or governmental regula-
ton. | believe in boxing as a gymnas-
ium sport but boxing such as men pay
their money to see is not of this
character.
