Especial Correspondence.)

Lansing, Mich. April 15.-With
less than 60 laws legally enacted and
signed by the governor of Michigan.
there is some doubt as to whether
the state legislature will be able to
adjourn on April rs, according to a
resolution passed by the house just
before the week end recess. More
than 1900 bills have been introduced
in the house and senate this session,
and compared with the whole the
number actually passed is a mere
trifle. The senate concurred in the
action of the house by the majority
Of one after a long debate as to
whether the house could conclude
the business before it by that date.
In view of the belief that this cannot
be done Senator Verdier states that
he may move to reconsider the ac-
tion OF the senate in concurring in
the house action as to adjournment
date.
Primary Bill Passed.
House members, however. state
that the most important legislation
has been accomplished and that the
track is clear for rapid work on leg
islation for which the way is al

ready we'll paved. The week end re-
cess witnessed the passage of the
James senate primary bill, repeating
the enrolment and - per cent
clauses OF the present law. This re.
moves what was regarded as one of
the measures that would consume
long time in discussing, but when
finally disposed OF only one vote was
recorded against 1t. that OF Repre-
Sentative Peterman OF Houghton
county, whose reason for opposing
was that he did not approve of re-
pealing the enrolment clause. The
essential portion Of the new law is
that voter must designate his party
by placing the cross at the head of
the ticket If he does so and makes
cross opposite the name OF can
didate in another party column the
ballot is void. The object being to
compel the elector to designate his
party when the votes in the primary
and vote it straight A few minor
amendments were made.
Governor Favors Grayiing Site.
An attempt was made in the house
to have a committee Of the legisla-
ture inspect the various sites for the
proposed permanent encampment Of
the Michigan National Guard. This
was turned down and the Grayling
site offered by r. Hanson to the
state free of cost, was given a big

which ne declared possesses all the
requirements and eXcels any other
location in the state for the purpose.
1t is probable that the legislature
will accept this proposition as there
seems to be general sentiment
for it.
Favors Law Book Bill.
What is termed freely to be
piece Of legislation detrimental to
the state, should it finally become a
law, is the measure introduced by
Senator Murtha authorizing recog-
milton and endorsement of the state
laws compiled by Colin Campbell,
former speaker Of the house of repre-
sentatives and published by a law
book concern of Chicago. Campbell
has lobbied persistently for the bill.
The bill was favorably reported out
by the house judiciary committee. II
Is declared by the enemies OF the bill
that the law would be an expensive
one for the state.
Teachers Retirement Fund Favored.
Lobbyists have been numerous
during the present session but no
measure has been more persistently
worked for than the bill providing

Free Sugar Death to Sugar Sect
Industry.

Washington dispatches state that
Congressman Fordney, who has been
re-appointed as a member of the ways
and means committee of the house of
representatives, proposes to offer some
amendments to the Democratic tariff
bill. but has no hope that they will
receive more than passing considera-
ton. Regarding the proposal to leave
a small duty on sugar to be entirely re-
moved at the end of three years, he
says: 'It we are going to have free
sugar in three years, we might as well
have it now and have it over with.
Free sugar means death to the domestic
industry. We might better kill it out
right than strangle it to death"

To Regulate Water Supply.
One of the bills introduced in the
senate which has attracted wide
spread attention throughout the
state is that of Senator Walter of
Grand Traverse The bill author
ICES the organization of companies
to establish reservoirs in which to
store up the over supply of water
in the Michigan streams during
flood time and to turn it loose dur
ing the dry seasons. The measure
provides for supervision by the
state railroad commission. 1t is
hardly expected that the bill will
receive definite action at this session
but 1t is regarded as an important
proposition at least for future legis.
lative action.
The rush Of bills and the time
limit established has prompted the
house to devote every hour possible
20 real business. To this end a
proposition was made to begin
Saturday sessions last Saturday but
the plan was not Immediately agreed
to, although It Is believed that Satur-
days during the remainder of the
session will be devoted to work, al
though many will be denied the
usal weekend recess heretofore es
tablished.
