REPRESENTATIVE REED URGES
BILL TO PUT sHERIFFs AND
oTHERs ON SALARY.
MANY MEASURES INTRODUCED
Marshali A. Oakley Of Bay City Pro-
poses to Increase Pay Of the
Michigan National
Guard.

Although the greater part of the
session was consumed In the discus
sion Of the Oakley resolution to re-
quest congress to prohibit the exporta-
ton OF munitions of war to belligerent
European countries, number of bills
were introduced. Perhaps the most
important was the one entered by Rep
resentative Clarence J. Reed of Spring
Arbor to provide for the payment of
salaries to the sheriff. undersheriff,
county clerk, county treasurer, regis
ter OF deeds. prosecuting attorney
and the deputies and assistants of
these ofiicers in all counties. The act
would virtually Danish the fee system
by turning all fees into the county
treasury.
!. Another bill considered important
Is the one introduced by Representa-
tive Marshall A. Oakley of Bay City,
to increase the efficiency Of the mill
tia. This proposes to raise the pay of
members of the Michigan National
Guard. privates and officers, one dollar
day while in service. At present
private receives SLIPS day while on
duty. The proposed increase would
make his pay $2.25. Camp duty, strike
duty and such employment Is charac-
terized as the service for which the
organization members are to be
paid.
Representative ]. Frank Stevens Of
Missaukee introduced a bill to provide
for the establishment and maintenance
Of state house of correction at Lake
City. Missaukee county. This Is q
grab at the house of correction pro-
posed for Bay City, for which $4,000
was appropriated at the 1913 session.
At that time It was agreed Bay coun-
ty should furnish the land for the site,
but the attorney-general ruled that the
state could not accept such gift. A
few days ago Representative Oakley
Of Bay City introduced bill asking
an appropriation Of $4,000 with which
to buy site.
Mr.. Stevens constituents propose to
sell the state site a site for the In
stitution. in the event that his bill is
