 STOCK CHANCE

Washington, Feb. 5-Curbs on tn activities of the New York EX- change were proposed in bills on which the Senate banking commit tee today opened hearings. These measures would impose severe pen uIties for the use of the mails in connection with the speculative transactions
 Regarding the hearing, Senate Owen said:- We should like to have known that we are not ac- tuated by any spirit of hostility. We merely want to frame a bill that will correct the fragrant abus- es which were so thoroughly shown up in the money trust investigation. We want to protect legitimae busi- ness and put an end to the use of the mails in promoting fraudulent spcculattons. We believe that we will have the sympathy of all hon est fiumcjers and busiress men in the work The president we know is in sympathy with the general proposition for such legislation. James B. Mahou, president of the New York Stock Exchange, headed a delegation which today protested "gui.sl the legislation. In an in rcyiew. Mahon declared, "Our op- position is based on the rejection by the Highest Commission of the suggestion to Incorporate exchanges and the defeat of the incorporation measure at Albany early last fall

perience and thorough knowledge Of
state affairs. They are men for
whom every Republican, as well as
members of other parties, may vote
without fear that their judgment will
be found erroneous-each man is in
every sense worthy Of confidence and
support.
I Three Of these men are re-nominat-
ed-Auditor General Fuller, Attor-
ney General Fellows and State Treas
urer Haarer. Their records in Office
are frst-class-they have devoted
themselves during their incumbencies
assiduously and faithfully to the
duties they were elected to discharge.
We have not heard, even from their
political opponents, any criticism Of
their important work in the service
Of the state. In the case of Auditor
General Fuller the voters have the
opportunity to engage him for the
| fourth successive term-which we be-
lieve is record unequalled in that
office.
Coleman G. Vaughan is nominated
to succeed +. c. Martindale as secre-
tary of state. He is newspaper pub
Usher at st. Johns, has served in the
state senate, on important state
boards, is widely known all over the
state and especially in the eighth con-
gressional district. A man Of ability
activity and in constant touch with
public affairs, with an especial inter-
est in and study of state matters for
more than quarter Of a century, he
should be accepted generally as
particularly good choice for the posi-
ton for which his party has nominat-
ed him.
Republicans should not forget that
the standing and credit of their party
with the people is dependent largely
upon the character and ability of the
men they put into Office by their
votes. They never had better chance
to indorse the wisdom of party nomi-
nations than in voting for these men.

MONSTER COMET IS VISIBLE
HERE
Delevan's Sky Wonder Is 100000, 900
Times the Earth's Size.

Many times larger than Halley's
comet which created such a sensation
several years ago, the new sky stray
gler known as Delevan's comet can
be seen with the naked eye now be-
tween 10 p. m. and a a. m. in the
northwest sky near the north star and
the handle of the big dipper.
The comet now is passing through
the canes denatici, "the hunting
dogs. system, and is proceeding al
most directly north toward the
Bootes system. 1t is about three
times as far north from the earth as
Halley's comet. Delevan's comet is
150,000,000 miles from the earth,
while Halley's was but 62,0QO,0O0. It
is headed toward the star Arcturus,
called by astronomers the runaway
star.
The comet is 1OO,OO0,000 times as
large as the planet Jupiter, which is
several times larger than the earth.
The comet can be seen from 10
o 'clock in the evening until in the
morning, when it reaches its highest
point above the horizon. The comet
will be visible to the naked eye for
about ten more days and to astrono-
mers for three weeks.

Elected by RepubI'ca" But Appointed
DULY Democrats.

Governor Ferris is just now going
through Michigan on a special train
provided by the Democratic state CEN
trail committee for the purpose of ap-
pealing to Republicans to elect him
again to Michigan's highest Office.
Two years ago Mr.. Ferris solicited
the votes of Michigan Republicans
and declared himself to be free from
partisan narrowness. He would make
appointments and conduct the affairs
Of state without considering the poll
tics Of the persons who would be call
ed upon to assist him, he many times
declared. He would give to Michigan
a new example in the non-partisan
management of state affairs.
And to what extent has Ferris the
Governor kept the promises made by
Ferris the candidate? Not even in the
slightest degree.
No occupant of that Office has ever
done more through his appointments
to build up his party organization
than has Governor Ferris.
Out Of thirty appointments to OFF,
ces, carrying with them salaries OF
from $500 per day to $5,000.00 per
year, only three were Republicans,
and two Of these three were Republic
cans because the law providing for
their appointment made it impossible
to appoint Democrats.
Only one Republican out of thirty
appointments, as a matter of free will
on the part of Democratic Governor
who was admittedly elected by Re-
publican votes, and that one Repub-
lican appointment was made as a re-
suit of conference promise given be-
fore the vacancy was created that
made the appointment possible.
Governor Ferris has appointed Re-
publicans to places providing no COM
pensation. He has been non-partisan,
perhaps, in selecting delegates to dis
tinct charity conferences and to good
road conventions where the partici-
pants get no pay and must meet their
own expenses. But in filling vacan-
cies Of circuit and probate judgeships
in six Republican counties every
Ferris appointee was Democrat.
And this is the non-partisan record
Of the Democratic Governor of Re-
publican state who is now asking for
second election by Republicans.

POSTAL employees
To Be Insured BY New Ruling OF
Department.

BY new postal department regu-
lation which amounts practically to
accident, disability and life insurance
postal employees will be benefited
Instructions on the application of
the new law have been received by
Postmaster Dewey.
Employees injured in the perform
ance of their duties will hereafter be
paid their regular salaries for as
much as a full year, and half their
regular salaries during the entire
second year following any accident
not due to their own negligence while
on duty.
To carriers, city and rural, this will
mean an average benefit during dis
ability of $50 per month and to the
average clerk, supervisor, inspector
and other higher paid employees 500
per month. Wives Of postolfice en-
ployes killed. while in the perform
ance of their duties are entitled to a
maximum of $4,000 in cash, exempt
from suits for debt, providing death
occurs within a year after injury.

viii Michigan Voters Permit This
Burden Again?.

When it is completed the two years
OF Governor W. N. Ferris admins
tration will have cost the taxpayers
OF Michigan more than four million
dollars in excess of the cost of the
two years administration of Cover
nor Osborn. Governor Ferris saws
he will do just as he has been doing if
he is elected again.
Governor Osborn found the state
$65O,OOO in debt, and when his ad-
ministration closed, he left in the
state treasury $1,178,9S9.54. And
yet with this handicap of $1,S2S,9S9.-
54 to meet the debt of former add
ministration and . to provide good
working capital for the administra-
ton which was to follow him, Cover
nor Osborn's total appropriations
were almost three million dollars less
than the appropriations approved by
Governor Ferris.
And Governor Osborn, if elected
again, promises the same economy
and the same care in behalf of the
taxpayers Of Michigan that he gave
before.
? Mr.. Ferris publicly declares that he
accepted legislative committee re-
ports and committee Investigations as
the only reason for attaching his
signature to huge appropriation bills.
And he will do the same again, he
says, if elected as a Democratic Gov
ernor by Republican votes.
Mr. Ferris talked much about econ
omy when he was candidate two
years ago, and said it was ga mys-
terry to him why any one should for
get the Importance of economy when
he became the hired man of the
state
And yet he did forget the import
ance of economy and surrendered to
others one of the highest duties the
Governor possesses-that of deciding
as to the withdrawal Of public money
from the state treasury.
And because of hattery and prom
Uses made TO him by those he then
directly favored Mr.. Ferris now says
that if elected at the coming election
he will do again just as he did before.
With this outlook before them and
with the power of decision yet within
their own hands, the voters of Michi-
gan can decide on Tuesday Of next
week, November 3rd, as to whether or
not Mr.. Ferris will be given the OPP
portunity of "doing again just as
he did BEFORE

same institutions were given by way
of support 1921 ,O6O71 in 1911, and
$14S2,4S5.43 in 1912. Surely more
than 100000 more in 1911 than in
1904 and with more than 100000 in
1912 than in 1904 these institutions
could not have been seriously Grip
pied. This becomes particularly in
teresting when it is considered that
many of these appropriations asked
by the institutions and vetoed by the
governor we're made on the plea that
the institutions we're crowded.

Thus, while Chase S. Osborn as
governor Of Michigan has wiped out
a long standing and burdensome debt
and put Michigan on her financial
feet, Woodbridge N. Ferris, taking the
state with a balance in the treasury,
increased the taxes of the state more
than $2,600,000 and made every proper
.ty owner pay $1.16 more on every
$1,000 of his valuation than he had
paid under Osborn. This was the
manner in which the two governors
fulfilled their party and their personal
pledges of economy and lower taxes.
How Osborn Saved Taxes
1t has been shown that Chase S,
Osborn in his effort TO free the state
from debt and to fulfill his pledge to
run the affairs of the state on an
economical basis personally vetoed ap-
preparations amounting to $7S0,597.
These vetoes were not at the expense
of the institutions of Michigan. No
institution was crippled as a result
of these vetoes. What was done then ?
institutions asking much for things
they were able to get along without
were asked to wait until such time as
Michigan was on her financial feet.
They were asked to show their need
for some of the appropriations. They
were told they could not have appro-
priations for buildings desired merely
for convenience or for show.
Just glance at the appropriations
for educational institutions during 10
years becomes interesting in view of
the action of the former governor and
in view of the action of the present
governor in allowing all appropria.
lions to pass without interference or
veto by him.
In 1914 the total taxes levied for
the support OF educational institu-
tions of Mich. gan-the University,
the Agricultural college, the Mining
college and the four normals-am cunt
ed to 1923, 6O5.16. During the two
years of Osborn ADMINISTRATION these

receipts is to be urged upon every
property owner. From that let them
judge which of the two governors,
which OF the two candidates for a
second term as governor, best full
hiied his pledge of economy and keep
ing the taxes down.

The total tax levy for the two years
of his administration with 1914 esti-
mated in part and lower than it will
be because it contains only the known
expenses and appropriations amount
to $14,616,397.

their credit than Chase S. Osborn.

that you as citizen would want ex-

any politician of any party in the
state would dare ask to have repeal

port. He has had wide experience
in legislative affairs, first when he
represented one Of the Eaton county
districts in the house of representa-
tives in 1897. Later in 1905 and 1907
he represented the entire county in
the same capacity and distinguished
himself in his efforts for the enact
ment Of a general primary law. AS
a member Of the state senate in 1909,
he was Chairman of the Committee on
Election and re-drafted the primary
law making many desired improve
