Time for Recall, Says Martindale.

In an address before the members
of Capitol Grange, in Lansing, Sec
rotary of State Martindale declared
himself in favor of the initiative, ref
erendum and recall. He said the time
has passed in Michigan when the pol
itician can tell the people what meas
ures are best for them.
Il believe the time has arrived
when the electors should have the
right to recall any official who Is der
elict in his trust of conserving their
best interests" said Martindale, land
at any time when the legislative power
does not respond to the demand of the
people in regard to the enactment Of
Legislation essential to the conserva-
tion of their property and we'll being
then believe the people should have
the right to initiate such legislation.
Il do not think, however, that the
initiative should be the usual way Of
promoting legislation, but it should
certainly be a means by which the
people can secure desired legislation
when their representatives either re-
fuse to act or are ignorant of the peo-
pies real needs

HEAD OF TURKISH ARMY SLAIN
Peace Delegates Recalled; Many
Slain in ConstantinopIe Riots.

Rioting has broken out all over Con-
stantinople, many persons have been
killed and more wounded following
he assassination-of Nazim Pasha, com
mander of the Turkish army, during
the demonstration against the DECLARE
ton Of peace with the Balkan states
and the cessioI- o. Adrianople.
The new Turkish cabinet, organ
lied on the resignation OF the peace
cabinet which voted to comply with
the demands of the Balkan allies, has
instructed the peace delegates in Lon
don to return to Constantinople. The
Ottoman ambassadors at Vienna and
st. Petersburg have also been recalled.
Enver Bey, the most spirited lead
er Of the Young Turks, was appointed
chief OF the general staff of the army,
to succeed Nazim Pasha.
Nazim Pasha was shot and killed
from window by Enver Bey and
Talatt Bey after Nazin's aide-de-camp
had opened fire at the new leaders. He
was nearly 60 and was characterized
as the hest conmmander-in-chie Tur-
key possessed in recent times. He was
minister o. war in the first Kiamil cab
met.
The crisis in the affairs of the en-
pire came as the result of the cab
inet's proposal to buy peace with the
Balkan states by turning over Adrian
ople and the Aegean islands. 1t was
against the sacrifice of Adrianople,
the ancient Turkish capital, that the
people rebelled

WILL FIGHT FOR
MORTGAGE TAX LAW
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE DE-
TRoiT REAL ESTATE BOARD
PLANS FOR CAMPAIGN.
SAYS LAW SHOULD HAVE MORE
THOROUGH TRIAL.
Claim to Repeal Present Mortgage Tax
Law Would Work Hardship to
/. Many People.

Discussion of plans for resisting ef-
forts to repeal the states mortgage
tax law engaged the attention of mem
bers OF the legislative committee OF
Detroit real estate board
Definite lines for the campaign
were not decided on, but the senti-
ment expressed indicates the board
will make strong fight in defense
of the tax law, on the ground that the
interval during which it has been in
operation has been too short for fair
test of its merits.
The legislative committee of the
board includes c. M. Harmon, chair
man; Walter c. Woolley, William
e. Roney, Homer Warren and Richard
G. Lambrecht. President Judson Brad
way, Secretary E. B. Tyrrell and 9TH
ers participated in the conference. In
reference TO the attitude of the real
estate board President Broadway says:
I'VE feel that the law has not been
in operation long enough to be tried
out properly 1t has worked very salts
factorily in other states and we be-
lieye the least we can do is to see that
IT is given a chance in Michigan"
ITO repeal the mortgage tax law
will simply make a let of liars and
crooks out of people, because no man
will allow anyone to rob him if he
knows about it," says Thomas III.
WEIGH, of WEIGH Bros. 1T is simply
legalized highway robbery when the
law requires full rate of taxation on
land and full rate of taxation on the
mortgage covering the same land"
Figures from the auditor generals
Office show that since the mortgage
tax law has been in operation, about
is months, the aggregate value Of
mortgages on which the filing tax is
paid has been increased to approXi-
mately three times what it was be-
fore the law became effective" says
Secretary Tyrrell, OF the real estate
board
In the conference, Homer Warren
pointed out that since the tax law has
been in force, many persons have
bought mortgages and that should the
law now be repealed, considerable
hardship would be inflicted on widows
and others, who have placed their
funds in that form of security.

Call for OIeo in State Institutes.

There is a possibility that an at
tempt will be made during the present
session of the legislature to repeal the
law prohibiting the use of oleomarga-
Tine in state institutions.
Secretary Mari 7. Murray of the
state board of corrections and chart
ties has made inquiries throughout the
country and finds that only six states
in the union, including Michigan, have
laws prohibiting this use of oleomarg-
arine.
With the exception of DR.. Pierce of
the state sanitorium and Quartermas-
ter Phillips Of the soldiers home, the
officers OF most of the state institu-
tons believe that it would be better
to use high grade Of oleo rather than
cheap butter.

The Liquor Question.

Some of the so-called dry" lead
ers in the legislature are wondering
whether the initiative and referendum
will initiate in favor of the liquor
interests of the state if this constitu-
tional amendment is passed by the leg
islature and adopted by the people at
the general election in 1914.
Many of the statesmen who are APP
parently in favor of the initiative and
referendum are opposed to the domi-
nation Of the liquor men in state af-
fairs, but the rumor has reached Lam
sing to the effect that the liquor men
are preparing TO use the initiative and
referendum as an instrument to re-
peal the local option law, has caused
some of the hearty advocates Of this
measure to stop and think.
One man who is known to be in
close touch with the liquor interests
of the state is reported as saying that,
given the initiative and referendum,
the people will be given an opportuni-
ty to repeal the local option law that
makes the county the unit on the wet
and dry question, and that the foreign
element in the cities would be suffi.
cient to swing the question in favor
Of the vets.

SECRETARY OF STATE COMES
OUT FOR THE RECALL OF
DERELIcT OFFICERS.
A BILL COMING TO REGULATE
PRIVATE BANKS IN STATE.
The Working Mems Compensation
Law-OIeomarqarine In State In
situations and Other Matters
Of Note.


Secretary of State Frederick c. Mar
tindale is one of the few republican
state officials who favors the initial
i've, referendum and recall, and he
went on record in favor of all these
progressive measures in an address be-
fore the members of Capitol Grange.
THE time has passed by in our
state when the politician can tell the
people what legislation it is best for
them to have, and what legislation he,
in his profound wisdom, will Withhold
from them" said Secretary Martin
dale.
81 do believe the time has arrived
when the electors should have the
right TO recall any official who is
derelict in his trust of conserving their
best interests. The private employer
has the right to conserve his own wei
fare by dispensing with the services
of an employee who is recreant to his
trust The public are entitled to the
same right.
"And at any time when the legis-
lative power does not respond to the
demand of the people in regard to the
enactment of legislation, that is es-
sential to the conservation of their
property and well being, then believe
the people should have the right to
initiate such legislation. / do not think
the initiative should be the usual way
OF promoting legislation, but it should
certainly be the means by which the
people can secure desired legislation
when their representatives either re-
fuse to act or are ignorant of the peo-
pies real needs. The right to depose
faithless officials must work out as a
panacea for many of the ills of mis-
government"

The Private Banks.

nc TTfNdtC odtNo.
1t is expected that bill will be in
troduced very soon to place private
banking concerns under the jurisdic-
ton OF the state banking department
and word has reached Lansing that
the small capitalists are preparing to
fight this measure with all the power
at their command.
The argument is put forth in favor
of the private banks as operated in
this state, that they are an absolute
necessity in the business of small
towns and il these banks were re-
quired to capitalize for the amount
prescribed for state banks, it would be
prohibitive because the business is too
small for such capitalization. On the
degree of supervision is necessary for
the protection of those who entrust
their funds to such institutions.
The suggestion has been made by
business man familiar with both state
and private banking in Michigan that
the private banks could be placed up
der one form of regulation which
would accomplish to a fair degree the
purpose without being burden
burden or hardship to them.
His suggestion is that a law be en-
acted requiring the bankers of this
class to go before the circuit judge
and make showing as to their as
sets and then furnish bond for the
security of their depositors.
1t is pointed out that in this way the
security companies would have rea-
son to watch these institutions, and in
addition they might be required to
file annual reports with the secretary
Of state. In all probability a bill of
this character will be proposed before
the close of the session.
Workingmen's Compensation Law.
Senator Ogg says the present law is
unconstitutional in that it violates the
federal constitution which provides:
mo state shall deny to any person
within it's jurisdiction the equal pro-
lection of the laws. This provision is
violated, Ogg says, in classifying the
various employees in a way which gives
one class a distinct advantage over
others.
Although the present law has been
in operation only four months it has
been of untold advantage to the work
ing men and another attempt on the
part of the legislature to impair its
usefulness, will bring on one of the
biggest battles in years.
If the amendment to the working
mems compensation and employers liza
bility law, proposed by Senator Ogg,
OF Detroit, is passed. IL is claimed by
friends of the present law, that Sena-
tor Ogg's amendment will render the
statute practically imperative. In ex-
PLANTATION of the bill Senator Ogg says
the object of the proposed legislation
is to afford the injured employee an
opportunity to proceed in an action
at law to recover his full measure of
damages Notwithstanding the fact that
his employer has elected to come un-
der the provisions Of the present CON-
pensation law.

What Butter Costs state.

Secretary Murl T. Murray OF the
state board of corrections and chart
ties, favors repeal of the present
law which prohibits the use of oleo-
margarine in state institutions, as
Murray contends, and most of the au-
thorities agree with him, that a good
grade of oleomargarine is superior to
a cheap grade of butter
hurry has compiled statistics chow
ing that a total of 383,S62 pounds of
butter are used annually in the state
institutions at an average cost Of 27.3
cents per pound, making the butter
bill for the year $104,S62.73. On this
basis, Secretary hurry says the state
would save $4,000 annually il oleo-
margarine could be used instead of
butter. At the present time there are
only six states, including Michigan,
where the substitute Is barred from
the state institutions.

The Trunk Line Roads.

Going deeper into the idea of trunk
line state roads, Senator Alswede, of
Bay county, finds that such a large pro-
portion of the original trunk line high
way route is already improved and
that he can add another north and
south line to the original proposal
and still remain in the 100000 APP
preparation.
To this end, he has outlined a third
or east coast line road from Detroit
through Flint, Saginaw, Tawas, Al
pena, Cheboygan to Mackinac. With
this road he will have three north and
south lines, one on the central merid-
an and another on the west shore
starting at Niles and following the
Lake Michigan coast. The cross state
line is from Detroit to st. Jospeh.
The proposal calls for total Of
1900 miles, of which 300 already is
improved. Allowing $4,000 per mile
and using convict labor Senator Al
swede says the work can be kept with
in the 100000 appropriation that
represents one-half of the automobile
tax over period of three or four
years.

verdier's Civil Service Bill.

Senator Leonard Verdier of Grand
Rapids, who introduced the bill plac-
ing all state employees under civil SER
vice, has the hearty cooperation and
support of every man and woman now
on the state pay roll. Whether it is a
commendable bit of legislation seems
to depend on ones position and politi-
cal affiliations in Lansing. The father
of this bill realizes that he has a vast
army of volunteer lobbyists right on
the job and this influence is bound TO
be felt Whether it is given immediate
effect involves some question, but the
passage of a civil service bill is con-
coded by every one in the Legislature.
Il am for civil service, but it should
be made broad enough to eliminate
parasites and dead ones at any time"
said Governor Ferris.
IL haven't seen the BILL" continued
the governor in speaking of Senator
Verdier's measure, but ] am for civil
service. But at the same time / do
not believe that it should be so drawn
nor construed as to offer protection

cal eXpediency should not be consider
