The StenOgraphic
Report Graft

There has been criticism OF the
attitude of some Of the representa-
tives from this district for their ac-
ton In voting against the printing OF
the full Official minutes of the legis-
lature at Lansing. As q matter OF
fact a legislative Journal Is now
printed that shows the action 81
every member the-hills- presented.
the course of the bill, the bills given
q hearing, and the vote of all mem
bers on all questions and on all bills.
That much seems to be all that Is
necessary. The effort to publish all
that Is said, all the discussion, al
the speeches, would cost an immense
sum OF money and be of little value,
except as campaign documents. Inc
national congress Is an example OF
the way the proposed plan works.
Millions Of copies OF speeches, never
delivered on the floor OF congress. are
given the free use OF the congress
sional record and free use OF the
mails under congressional or sena-
torial frank. and are mailed broad
cast all over the country at the e.y-
pense of the -taxpayeFs.-The y-weFe
written for campaign purposes and
distributed as campaign documents,
and for nothing else They purport
to be delivered In congress but never
q word OF them were uttered in con-
gress. The abuse should be stopped.
1t cost the government millions last
year TO send out that sort Of political
truck. The effort TO work the same
system In the state has met its de-
feat and It Is 10 be hoped this graft
for the printers, stenographers and
! oliticians will not be perpetrated in
Michigan. There is no question that
there should be the fullest publicity.
so the people may know what their
members are doing, but that is al.
ready provided in the official record
now printed daily at Lansing
dale Daily.
