tive Andrew l.. Deuel.. of Harbor
Springs, stepped into the spotlight
Deuel. is frank in admitting that he
guesses his bill doesn't stand much

anyway, because of the treatment he

state board of assessors of three
men, consisting of the governor and
two citizens selected by himself, at

methods for valuing the railroads and
other corporations that pay a specific
tax and would base this valuation
on equipment and mileage and the re-
lations between these factors and CAPT
talization and bond issues after the
realty and the personal property have
been deducted.
The review bill provides that city
village, township or individual may
appeal from the equalization of the
board of supervisors or from the acts
of an assessing officer by application

An Oddly in Legislative Work.

An oddly in legislative work oc-
Cured when Rep. Leighton cast the
only vote against bill which he had
introduced himself. The bill provided
originally for raising witness fees in
circuit courts to SO a day, and also
provided for $3.50 fees for half days.
The committee which had the bill in
charge liked the half day idea, but
reduced the fees to 50 day and 81
for half day. Rep. Leighton fought
to have the original fees put back in,
but his efforts failed. He then voted
against the bill, but every other mem

One Deer, With Horns.

The lone buck law" which has
many warm advocates and many
warm opponents, has been reported
out and bids fair to use up a day
or two of legislative time in the argu-
ments that will be had over its value
to the state. 1t permits a hunter to
kill only one deer in season and that
a buck deer Advocates Of the bill
say that it will stop the killing of
hunters by other hunters who shoot
when they see moving object in the
woods. Opponents say that it will re-
suit only in killed does being left in
the woods. The subject is one that is
always certain to produce an endless
argument in the legislature.

Must Have Warrants.

The house killed the senate bill
that would permit officers to make
arrests without warrants. House
members believed that police have
enough power in the making Of ar
rests now, and the bill, although it
had passed the senate and was in
dorsed by the state association of
prosecutors and sheriffs and by the
state bar association, received two
votes less than the 81 required to pass
the house. It's friends ha dthe vote
reconsidered and made second effort
to pass it, but it lost nine votes and
failed for good the second time up.

Constitutional Amendments.

Two constitutional amendments are
fairly certain TO come up for a vote
in April as result of the last weeks
work in the legislature One is the
amendment empowering the state to
buy and operate railways and the other
the amendment to allow cities to es-
tablish municipal fuel yards The first
has gone through both houses. 1t is
designed to give the state power to
compel the Detroit, Grand Haven &
Milwaukee railroad, now a part of the
Grand Trunk system, to pay taxes
levied by the state. The other has
been reported out for consideration
and its advocates claim that a ma
jority of both houses are pledged to
its passage.
