Statewide Prohibition.

Statewide Prohibition.
The senate and house are squarely
up against a condition which they
cannot side-step Nothing that has yet
come before the legis ature at this
session has attracted such universe
attention as the Introduction of
statewide prohibition resolution for
constitutional amendment
During the past four years every
candidate for public Office has been
confronted with this proposition, and
now that the matter is brought up
with the view OF allowing the people
to express themselves upon the ques
ton, the Anti-Saloon LeagIe has not
been slow to grasp the situation and
has taken this means of putting the
house and senate TO the test.
The pressure will be particularly
heavy upon members representing
districts divided between the wet and
dry interests.
Amendment to Liquor Laws.
Auditor General Fuller in his an
nuai report 20 the governor says that
the general liquor law should be
amended in so far as it relates to the
license of a nonresident liquor dealer,
as there are many who have not taken
out licenses. II possible. he says, it
should be a misdemeanor for any re-
tail dealer TO purchase liquor from a
nonresident dealer.
Contests Settled.
AS all the contests were settled by
the retention of their seats by mem
bers whose election was declared to
have been in doubt, the senate and
house settled down to real business
as soon as reports Of committees were
acted upon. There was little trouble
for any except Senator McGregor, of
the twelfth district. In spite Of the
vigorous protests of Frank l.. Covert
and the efforts to dislodge him, he
retains his place.
"BIue sky" Propositions.
State Banking Commissioner E. II.
Doyle's proposed legislation on blue
sky propositions promise a death
blow to visionary schemes to lure the
unwary. The house and senate com.
mittees will meet Jan. 20 to take up
these auctions. Several other mea.
sures have been introduced and dras.
tic action is assured. All those who
endorse or oppose the measures pro
posed are invited to express their
views at that meeting.

progresses.
Civil Service Law viii Pass.
There seems now to be little, l.
shy, doubt that very early in the SEES
sion a measure will be enacted pro
vldng for civil service among EN-
ployes Of the state.
Senator Verdler, of Grand Rapids
has presented a bill that is one o.
the strongest in existence copied
largely after the Colorado law TIL
democratic Platform calls for civil
service and the party is pledged to
that reform, but as the proposed law
would give immediate effect the
plums expected at the hands OF the
administration will go a-glimmerirg
The Verdier bill is one of the most
pronounced and far-reachiug OF any
OF its kind in any state, taking in
about every Office in the employ Of
the state, even down to the grade OF
laborers who must be employed in ac-
cordance with the priority Of their
applications. 1t calls for non-parti-
san and non-salaried board of three
civil service commissioners to be APP
pointed by the governor, the secre
tary to receive a salary of $4,000 as
the executive officer The proposed
commission is to enact rules and reg
ulations to classify the various grades
of employment and to establish suit
able examinations. There is much
detail about the measure, but ii Is
comprehensive and calculated to &C
complish that which it seeks.
AS all parties represented In the
house and senate are pledged to civil
service, it is scarcely likely that there
will be any serious difficulty in the
passage of the law Should it be en-
acted the present employees of the
state will be able to hold their job
without further fear OF political up
heavals, or so long as their faithful
ness shall endure.
Labor Legislation.
That there will be some effective
legislatio for the benefit of labo,
generally is conceded. But just what
the specific result of present plans
will be is at this time. matter o
conjecture.
There is a set purpose to change
the laws governing child labor Hours
of labor for women and children vii
be given consideration. Regulation
OF the number OF hours women and
children shall be employed in the
street trades, canneries and other in
dustrial employments will be de
manded. And measure will be in
troduced providing for mine inspec
ton for the protection Of workmen
also for boiler inspection and a com
mission to fix a minimum wage scale
Among other bills the labor depart
ment and representative heads OF
labor organizations will consider will
be the compensa ton Of mothers bill
hotel inspection and others of kindred
intent.

committee has met with Labor Com

be followed and the measures enu~.-
Grated were agreed uron. The mec.-

BACK FROM MEXICO
TO VISIT AMERICUS
Mr.. COWan Welcomed BY His
Friends

The return to Americas of Mr..
Charles Cowan day or two since
from Mexico where he has resided for
frteep years is a source of pleasure
to his many friends here to whom he
talks Interestingly of his experiences
since he left here to make his home IN
the land of tortillas and revolutions.
Mr.. Cowan and family resided out Lee
street for a number of years. For IF
teen years he has been employed in
the mining region in Ell Orc Estado,
and doubtless decided that the present
state of affairs down there afforded
a fine opportunity for visit home.
During his employment there the
mines closed down for two years, AMI
he was left in charge of the property,
entirely alone in a desolate mountain
region. The mail carrier, who came
once every three weeks, was the only
human whom he saw in that long
time. He admits that it was a bit
lonely Mr. Frank Cowan, his son
who also lived here and for a time
worked at the Seaboard shops, is
now master mechanic for railway in
Peru, South America, at a salary or
$4,000 a year, in Peruvian money,
which is equivalent to $4,000 in good
American gold or greenbacks. Mr..
Cowan will go from Americas to Flor
ida before returning two or three
weeks hence to Mexico.
