There has been more progressive
legislation passed at this session thar
in any other in the history OF Michi-
gan. Seven fundamentals, laws that
touch the basis of the state constitu-
ton, have been agreed upon, while
only one, the short ballot, was lost dur.
ing the entire session.
Though in large number OF cases
the bills were merely amendments
to old laws which had to be revised
and corrected TO make them workable,
there has been large gist OF import
ant legislation.
There will be three and may be
four concurrent resolutions 90 go to

1.-THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR suLZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties OF friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner Of the University Club Of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down TO
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given 10 the
world than the four thousand miles OF
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony 70 the
mutual confidence and respect OF the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years OF peace. IL
matters not so much as TO the form
OF the outward celebration but let us
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts Of both ma
lions, and that, whether north or south
or the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, Offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
OF peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence.
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary OF
North America"
Many OF our best citizens. regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
ing the States OF the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
OF the fertility OF its soil, the lib
erality Of the Canadian government
and the ability OF those people 10 bet
ter their conditions here.
I'VE should extend to them a help
ing hand in their onward march of
progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion.
we should open them WIDER and do
everything in our power 10 facilitate
closer commercial relations We want
their products and'they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent q
fairer and freer exchange OF goods,
wares and merchandise should. in SO
Tar as possible, be eliminated. "-Ad-
