Ask Commission to
Restrain Company

Company has filed a petition with the
Public Service Commission asking that
body to restrain the Consumers Elec-
trio Company from stringing wires,
etc, for the purpose of rendering and
furnishing electric energy and current

The borough has awarded a con-
tract to the Consumers company for
the lighting of the streets and public
highways and this contract has been
approved by the commission, but a
franchise ordinance contract which
would permit the rendering of service
for commercial purposes, that is to say

The petitioner claims that the Con-
sumers company is violating this order

SPEAKER SMITH

1t is an acknowledged fact that
Speaker Chas. w. Smith is driver
in the legislative business; it is a real
pleasure to listen to him pull through
the Order of Business on these ex-
tremely busy days; rapid-fire talker,
clear voice and perfect articulation,
direct to the point in his every utter
ance, fair and impartial in every ruling,
admitted by all legislators, old and
young, to be one of the very best speak
ers that Michigan ever had; at home
he is business man; Manager of an
Electric and Gas Lighting Company,
he has introduced his methods of bust
ness into his legislative work at Lam
sing, and the State will profit thereby;
he is in thigh speed" all the time. With
such high esteem is he held by the
members that they have already indi-
Gated to him by a signed petition that
If he will return in 1917, they will use
their influence for his reelection as
Speaker Of that year.
No little of the credit for the success
full and speedy work of this legislature
is due to the experienced clerk of the
House, Charles Pierce, and his able
corps Of assistants; among them Myles
F. Gray, Journal Clerk, and at the
same time Grand Master of the l. o.
o. F. of the State Of Michigan, and Har-
ry A. Cross, formerly Clerk of our
County, Bill Clerk of the House, posi-

ELECTION LAWS

The primary laws will have slight
changes l believe after this session gets
through them; if present plans OF the
Committee on elections go through, the
Primary election will be conducted
with separate ballots for each political
party; instead of an enrolment, how
ever, you will be required to state your
politics at the time you ask for bal
lot; you will then be SO recorded;
this is sort of half way compromise
between the enrolment and the pres
ent law "a person will be permitted to
register for a primary on any day be-
fore election with the clerk of the
township or city. And may register on
any primary day. Also the spring pri-
mary is moved ahead one month, from
the first Wednesday in March to the
first Wednesday in February. This will
permit 1t to come before the State Con-
vention, County Convention, etc., and
permit the choice by primary Of dele
gates to the spring County Conven-
tons; heretofore we have had to hold
spring caucuses for the election of
these delegates. The new Bill also
remedies the defect in the present law

GOVERNOR FERRIS

Governor Ferris maintains the usual
dignity of that Office by holding himself
aloof from either side of the legisla-
ture; the executive Office is upon the
same floor as are the two houses, but
we members have seen him but twice
or three times since the session open
ed; it would seem as though it were to
to his advantage to mix and associate
with the members of the two Houses,
attend the sessions, listen to the de-
bates, thus advising himself as to the
merits of many measures which will
later come to him for his signature:
otherwise am sure the Governor signs
Bills and thus makes them Laws, which
he does not know, has not had the time
to read, and must depend upon the
word of some one else who has read
the Bill. But Gov. Ferris is only fol-
lowing the custom of other Governors
preceding him; it seems that the digni-
ty Of the Office must be maintained and
our Governor must be kept from public
view in the inner confines of the Exec
utive Offices land only upon special
occasions land those very infrequent,
are the common people permitted to
look upon the good gray Governor"

Inection because he is one of the import.
ant cogs in the law making machinery
of this State, and when we consider the
Legislature, we must understand that
in reality that department of govern
ment consists of three parts, the Sen.
ate, House and Governor, and each part
having it's full one-third share of power
and authority.

THE SENATE

My knowledge of the Senate organic
alton is limited; do know that Lieut..
Gov. Dickinson has served the Senate
as President in most satisfactory and
impartial manner; and the detail work
has been under the eye of the exper-
fenced D. E. Award, one of the great
est Bill readers that ever graced the
position in this Legislature; his ex-
perience in Congress in a like position
made him an expert in that line,
Our Senator Trip has been one of
the most active members of the body,
fathering many measures considered in
its deliberations, always read yto de-
fend his position in debate; the State
Senate and those who have visited it's
sessions soon became aware that there
was a strip of land down in the south
western part of Michigan called Ale
gan and Van Buren, counties, and that
Senator Trip, "the gentleman from
the Eighth" was representing that dis.
trict.
