Rep. Louis Neller, OF Lansing, pre-
sented a bill TO the Inst legislature
calling for an appropriation of $780,
600 to build an addition TO the capitol
building which died an untimely death.
There were many reasons why Neller's
measure, which had the endorsement
of bar associations OF Michigan, did
not survive. In the first place the
legislators did not think it the proper
time TO saddle this additional debt
onto the state when the appropriations
for the various state institutions were
mounting into the millions. Then, too,
many of the lawmakers believed that
II would be more practical to erect q
new structure on one OF the state lots
located a few blocks from the capitol
Some of them feared that the pro-
posed addition would spoil the symetry
of the present building and numerous
other excuses were offered for not TAX
ing action.
Ii is claimed, however, that at the
next regular session OF the legislature
the various state officials will get be-
hind a proposition to build a new
structure on one of the vacant lots
owned by the state, as they point TO
the fact that there is no place in the
capitol TO accommodate some of the
new boards and commissions created
during the past session. At the pres
ent time the board of state auditors
faces difficult proposition to find a
place to store fifteen or twenty thou
sand school books which must be in
spected by the superintendent of pub
lie instruction before August 10.
There is not an inch OF available space
in the capitol and IL will be necessary
for the board OF auditors TO award the
superintendent OF public instruction a
room in the old state block on Wash
ingaon avenue adjoining the state mil
itary headquarters.
II the legislature ever appropriates
funds for an addition to the capitol or
a new state building, IL will mean a
saving OF several thousand dollars in
rentals. At the present time the state
tax commission. industrial accident
board, state railroad commission, game
wardsn's department and the offices
of several supreme court justices are
located in quarters owned by private
individuals.
In the old state block are located
the Offices OF the state bacteriologist.
state geological survey. state high.
way department, dairy and food com.
mission, state labor commission and
military department. 1t is pointed out
that If all Of the departments located
ouside the capitol building 1t would
mean a great saving and would be
much more convenient. Visitors on
official business are amazed when they
find that the state departments are
scattered all over the city. II new
building is erected on one of the state
lots, ii is probable that the supreme
court, library, attorney generals Of
fee and state railroad commission
would be located there. BY this
change the other departments now To-
Gated outside the state house could be
accommodated under the big dome.

There are two ways of making peo-

good. One is to create and enforce
certain regulations and the other is
to convince them that they ought to
change their method of life The
latter idea is the one that is being
adopted by the Bennington County
Fish and Game club through the lee
ture that is to be given here Friday
evening by John B. Burnham of the
American Game Protective associa
ton. Mr.. Burnham is an enthusiast
in the campaign for the preservation
of the wild life of America and it is IN
the hope that he may impart some Of
this enthusiasm to the people OF Ben
nington and vicinity that the lecture
will be given. The special meeting
of the club which will precede the
lecture is called for the purpose Of
creating a system of game and fire
patrol in Bennington county. The
lecture is given for the purpose OF re
ducing the necessity for such an of

1t is evident from the recent state
ment sent out for publication by +
S. Brigham, the new commissioner oil
agriculture, that the state is likely to
be called upon in the near future tc
solve another problem, the protection
of trees and shrubbery against the
ravages of the browntail moth and
that more destructive insect, the gyp'
sy moth. The browntail has already
secured a foothold in a considerable
area and the gypsy moth has likewise
made its appearance in the south
eastern section of the state. Com
missioner Brigham has already adopt
ed a system of campaign, an expert
has been engaged and in about half
of the twenty-five towns affected or
ganizations have been perfected to
carry out the destruction of the win
ter nests. This is one of the instanc-
es in which a stitch in time saves
many times nine. The gypsy and the
browntail moth have cost the state
of Massachusetts over $10,00OOOO.
The pests secured such foothold in
the state before the fight against 1t
was effectively organized that even
with an annual expenditure of $685.
600 it will be years before the state
is freed from the destroyers.
