Ross Urges Short Session.
Lieutenant Governor Ross Ii out
vigorously for short session and has
written all the state senators relative
to a policy OF quick actor and lin
tied term. He argues that the state
has borne too heavy an expense in the
past, and It is his purpose to make
record for the 1913 session. In this
he may be disappointed, as the change
in administration promises a rush of
more than the ordinary quantity of
business. With an array of new mem
bers, there is likely to be a flood of
measures for reform presented that
will consume vast amount of time.

Senator Smiths Prospects.
The fate of United States Senator
William Alden Smith is in the bal
ance, and although the Republican ma
jority would indicate a safe re-elec-
ton of the senior senator, the margin
is really so narrow as to cause alarm
to the friends of the Grand Rapids
statesman,
This alarm is justified, as 1t is con-
coded that there is a movement on
foot to land Alfred Lucking in Wash
ington to assume the toga worn by
William Alden Smith. 1t comes on
good authority that the Progressive
leaders are backing a movement to
unite the progressive Republicans in
the Michigan legislature with the Pro-
gressives and the Democrats and thus
defeat the Grand Rapids man.
Nor is this visionary possibility.
It has so much Of reality that the
friends of the senator are doing some
very energetic work to have things
cinched before the election of United
States senator takes place by joint
ballot January 15..

Pensions for Teachers.

A measure contemplating pensions
for school teachers will come before
the legislature for enactment. A bill
has been drawn after numerous con-
ferences and consideration of various
phases by many prominent instructors
in the state. The measure will pro-
vide that there be no compulsory age
limit; for voluntary retirement after
rs years service upon salary, provid-
ing the applicant has served Is years,
including the last five, in the Michi-
gan schools, and providing relief for
physical disability OF teachers and re.
tirement after 30 years service at a
salary of not less than $500 year.
The proposed measure has many
phases that will be threshed out in
the legislature, but in the main the
act will be given powerful backing ~
II is conceded that the Michigan
school teachers are underpaid.
