HINKLEY'S WORK.

No member of the present legislature
has done better work for the state OF
Michigan during this session than Rep
Dana II. Hinkley OF Emmett county
His efforts have stood out with constant
conspicuousness since the day when he
was named chairman of the ways and
means committee of the house.
AS the head of the most important
committee in the lower body OF the
legislature he has carried more response
bilities than any one member of either
house. With these responsibilities went
great power and it can be said to his
credit that he used this power sparing'
ly and wisely.
Not the least of his service has been
his determined effort TO curtail the
expenses which will attend the opera
ton of the state government during
the next two years.
During the last session OF the legls'
lature Senator Charles Foster, OF Ian
sing, whose bill making an appropria
ton of 100000 for new office build
ing passed the senate by unanimous
vote, was assured by members of the
house that the bill would be passed il
il could be pried out of the ways and
means committee. 1t was reported
favorably by the house committee on
public buildings, but Chairman Harry
Hinkley of the ways and means com
mittee refused to report 1t out on the
ground that the state could not spare
the money.-Grand Rapids Press.
