HOUSE PASSES BIG WAR LOAN
Seven Billion Dollars Appropriated to
Wage War Against Kaiser.

Washington-Without a single dis
senting vote Meyer London, the lone
socialist, lodging the issue by voting
presently the house of representa-
tives voted $1,000, 100000, the largest
appropriation ever submitted to con-
gress, to wage war against Germany.
The vote was 389 to 0.
OF the total, it is specified that 3d.
600 100000 is to be lent to the nations
now carrying the fight in Europe but
the house took particular pains to en-
phasize the idea that they approved
the loan as the best method of bring
ing about the early defeat of Germany,
and not as beneficent donation to
anyone across the water.
The vote was immensely significant
as showing that the representatives
are absolutely united in the determin-
alton to spare no resource in the fight
against Germany 1t was the first poll
on vital measure, since war was de-
clared, and it found all of the men
and the one woman member, Jeanette
Rankin, who voted against war, stand
ing squarely with the government.

Home Guard to Be Raised In State.

Michigan proposes to be in shape to
handle her own affairs while
the state roops are in the fed
eral service, and to that end arrange
ments are about completed for the or
ganization of a Home Guard to take
the place OF the Michigan National
Guard while the latter is away in gov
eminent service.
The Culver military bill, passed by
both the house and the senate. is the
means by which the organizations are
to be raised. According to announce.
ment from the governor, the recruit
ing OF the men and their control is
TO be in the hands OF Major Roy c.
Vandercook, who commanded the bat
TALON of Michigan artillery in the
state service, but who was left out of
job when the troops went into the
federal service.
To permit him to work in conjunc.
ton with the state officers, Wander.
cooks services have been borrowed
by the state from the Pere Marquette
railroad. In addition he is to be made

Back Of all the preparedness for the
protection OF the state in case of riot.
etc, is something which has been
lurking in the shadow in the copper
and iron countries for weeks. The In.
dustrial Workers of the World at their
last annual convention adopted a reso-
luton announcing that in case this
country went To war with Germany
general strike should be declared.
Particular reference was made to the
iron and copper counties of Michigan
because both these sections are in
tested now with many members OF
that organization.
Requests for help were brought to
Lansing from these two sections of
the upper peninsula several weeks
ago.
Acknowledgement Bersey, in drawing
the Culver bill, fixed matters so that
the state through the governor could
raise almost any number of men
wanted, in order TO cope with riots,
strikes, etc. According to the gov.
errors announcement the force will
number from $500 to 5000 men. al.

FOOD COMMITTEE
TO URGE BIG CROPS
PROMINENT MEN OF STATE TO
HELP SOLVE PROBLEMS
OF FARMERS.
PREPAREDNESS" BIG ISSUE
Conference In Governors Office At
tended BY Leading Men From All
Parts Of State.
tFrom Our Special Correspondent
Lansing.

Lansing.
Food preparedness continues to be
a big issue with the governor and 9th
er state officers who are preparing
Michigan for a period of war. At a
conference in Governor Sleeper's Of
fee which was attended by fifty prom
inent farmers, food manufacturers and
others from all parts of Michigan, a
special food committee was decided
upon to act as advisers to the gov
ernor along with the war preparedness
board.
The following were appointed by
Governor Sleeper:
Fred NJ. Warner, of Pennington, for
mer governor of Michigan.
John S. Haggerty, Detroit manufac-
turer.
w. X. Prudden, Lansing manufac-
turer.
w. j. Orr, Saginaw. president of the
Michigan Bean Jobbers association.
N. p Hull, Dimondale, former mas
ter of the Michigan State Grange.
Nathan F. Simpson. OF Detroit, rep
resentins the State Cleaners associa-
ton.
George w Mccormick, Menominee
sugar manufacturer.
The food committee will do all in
its power TO urge increased production
on Michigan farms this year and to
solve as far as possible the problems
Of getting farm workers and seed.
Food Inspector Nickel sent in COM
munication telling that 100000 calves
of the age of four weeks had been
slaughtered in Michigan last year,
whose weight averaged 60 pounds.
Were these calves allowed to attain
the age of six months there would be
an increase of 100000 pounds of
meat, he reported. The food commit
tee will discourage the killing of
calves only four weeks old.

Asks Mobilization for Farm Work.

A boy farmer movement in Michi.
gan to mobilize the youths too young
for war to service in raising crops
and to mobilize with them the old
men, the infirm and those rejected
from military duty was argued in a
definite plan laid before Governor
Sleeper by Judge Arthur G. Lacy, OF
Detroit, with the approval of many
farmer members of the legislature.
"At the outset Of war we find per-
haps only one-half of the tillable land
of Michigan likely to be titled" said
Judge Lacy I'VE are facing the
probability of only 40 per cent crop.
Now | would have the state, IL neces-
sary, commander and pay for a rea-
sonable rate, the seed necessary to
SOW every available acre of ground in
the state.
81 would have the farE :. arrange
20 pay back this seed in kind after
harvest.
1T might be necessary also to have
the state take charge of the crop at
the end of the year. II Is almost i'm
possible to get enough laborers to till
the fields for the sake of filling them.
But IL the state took this up as a
military necessity and the call for
volunteers went forth as an appeal to
men and boys to serve their country
this way, | believe volunteers would
rush forward from among the younger
lads of the state and from among the
men who cannot serve with the colors
81 believe a good many boys of Ia

even il they dropped their school
work for one year and went to work
in the fields"
The early departure OF Governor
Sleeper's personal staff to war duties
was recognized in bill introduced
by Representative Peterman, OF
Houghton.
This bill would empower the gov.
ernor to appoint Ave civilians as
personal staff. to serve without pay.
None will have a higher rank than
major.

Dry LEGISLATION In Final STAGES.

The prohibition bills have reached
their final stage. After furry in the
senate caused by the production of an
entire new measure by Senator Wood
which he wanted to substitute for the
house bills, the prohibition program
went through in rush. The Wood
substitute was rejected. The Wiley
bill, providing the machinery for the
obtaining Of liquor for the five speci-
fed exemptions under the constitution
and for search and seizure in case of
violations of the law, was passed unan-

Numerous Bills Killed.

The house has had busy time re-
Gently killing off bills. Among those
that have met defeat are the bill to
establish county health boards; to
name a special deputy highway COM

all drains; to bar debts against unpro-
bated estates; to appropriate $780,
900 for the agricultural fair commits
sion; and % appropriate $4,000 to
erect monument to Maj. Gen. VIM. r.
Shafter, of Spanish war fame, in
Galesburg, his native village. The
two latter bills were defeated and
several increases in other appropria-
ton bills by the senate rejected, in a
single session when the house mem
bers were in an economical mood af-
ter contemplating all the expenses the
state may be put to because OF war
conditions.

Economy Streak Short Lived.

The house. which had fit of extra
economy after the decision of the state
to float a $5,000.000 war loan, soon
got over it. Two days after defeating
bills for appropriating $4,000 for the
county fairs and for appropriating S.
600 for monument to General Shat
ter, the house took both off the table
and passed them, also adopting bill
to appropriate $4,000 for a monument
to Michigan regiments on the Shiloh
battlefield. However, the house voted
down decisively the bill to raise sal
aries of justices of the supreme court
from $500 to $4,000 a year.
