Lansing.
Some important legislation which
the present session will be called on
to consider is one regarding the use
Of the public highways.
A tentative law has been drawn up
and is now in the hands Of Senator
Bryant, chairman of the senate com.
mittee on roads and bridges. The law
is the combined work OF the attorney
generals department, the senate and
house road committees and the state
highway department II enacted, while
II will not touch a single wagon or au-
tomobile truck now in use in the state,
1t will prevent overlooking Of all here
after.
For several months shippers, most
ly large manufacturers, have found
that by using heavy trucks for short
hauls overland, they could save time
and moneys The result has been that
many OF the roads, particularly in the
central and southern parts of Michi-
gan and in the iron and copper min
ing districts OF the upper peninsula,
are in bad shape.
The roads, especially state reward
ones, were built for exceptionally
heavy loads, but no one ever dreamed
that vehicles with a gross weight of IS
and 20 tons would be used on them.
Wagons, too, will be limited as TO
load
II will be made unlawful TO oper-
ate on the highways any vehicle the
gross weight of which exceeds Is
tons. farm implements and machinery
used in the construction of roads,
alone, excepted. Nor will il be lawful
10 operate any vehicle which has a
gross weight per inch width OF tire
exceeding 600 pounds. This is the
section which catches the wagons. A
wagon with three-inch tire can carry
$500 pounds to wheel, or 7,2OO
pounds altogether, and any wagon
with three-inch tire which carried
more than that will be violating the
law
During March. April and May, II

any country, district. or township COM
missioner deems it necessary by rea-
son of the soft condition OF the roads,
TO put this provision OF the act in
force, he can do so by the mere post;
ing OF notices along the highway.
Penalties provided for violation OF
the act are: A fine OF not less than SIS
nor more than $50 or Imprisonment
in the county jail for 30 days. or both
fine and Imprisonment for each Of
tense. Special permission for the NOV
ing, OF heavy vehicles. which exceed
the, limits of the law. is provided for.

In spite Of the best care one takes
Of oneself, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out Of order. The
most important organs are the stomach
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals oil
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms MS backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, bead
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,

kidneys to their normal state Of health, y

from your favorite pharmacy a small

Budget System.

The budget system for state institu-
tons and expenditures, which looked
for time as though 1t would have to
wait until the 1919 legislature for set
Element, will be taken care OF in this
legislature The house has rejected
plans to have it cared for by a paid
commission and left 1t with the house
committee on state affairs to report
out bill that will cover the sub
ject.
Preparatory to the establishment
OF budget system a bill has been
introduced in the senate, with the
backing OF the state administration, to
have all state moneys retained in the
state treasury until the departments

signed to keep a more complete tab
on where the states money goes and
also to give the state the benefit OF

For Revision OF Labor Law.

For Revision OF Labor Law.
Extension Of the 54-hour law, which
now applies only to working women
10 include all the male employees in
Michigan, regardless OF the industry
In which they are engaged, is recon
mended among other things by state
Labor Commissioner James V. Gun
ningham, OF Detroit, In his annual re
port to the governor.
A bill to this end VIII be introduce
into the legislature in this session and
the labor commissioner desires the
proposition to have the approval OF
Governor Sleeper before II comes OH
cially before the legislature.
I'VE have protected widows and
children" said the commissioner. SC
why shouldn't we protect the head OF
the house? There are men in Mich
gan who are working "a hours a week
They might as well be dead and some
Of them will be long before their time
II we took better care of the working
man we would have fewer windows
and orphans to support"
hour law affecting certain classes OF
female employees should, in my opin
ion, be extended so as to comprehend
all female employees and all male EN-
ployes likewise"
Another important recommendation
of Commissioner Cunningham is fol
a revision of the general labor law So
that the commissioner OF labor would
be empowered to publish figures show
ing the wages any individual concern
pays to its employees. The present law
provides that statistics must be Civ
en- to the public only in averages and
aggregates.
He finds that in the year 1916 there
were in this state 1885 factories and
workshops and they employed in 1916
540,940 wage-earners, or an increase
OF 1O2. $3.50 over the year 1915.
The average daily wage paid in the
establishments inspected was $2.7S as
compared with 1854 for 1915.
Committees Work on Prohibition Bills
The house and senate liquor com
mittees are at work on the proposed
bills TO make the state dry, in accord
ance with the prohibition amendment
The committees figure that they have
two or three weeks work ahead OF
them on the bills and indicate that II
probably will be in the neighborhood
OF March ] when the house will get
the first dry bill. This undoubtedly
will be the Wiley bill. the one pre-
pared by attorneys for the AntiSa
loon league, and which bone dry advo
Gates charge is moist measure.
A complete debate in both the house
and senate is looked for, however, on
every section of the proposed law over
which there can be the slightest dis
pute, and the question OF weather bone
dry or moist dry advocates will pre-
vail can be settled nowhere except on
the floors of the two houses.
Not only are the drys divided on the
question of whether to be bone dry or
to allow small amount of liquor In
the state, but the vets who still are
left are also strongly divided as be
tween the two kinds OF dryness. Those
who argue that extreme bone dryness
may cause a reaction in their favor
want to support the bone dry meas
ures, but others are afraid there will
be no reaction of sentiment and
hence want as moist "a law as it is
possible to get. The real drys. how
ever, have so complete a majority in
both houses that they are giving small
hibition outlook.

For Increased Railroad Rates.

1t has been intimated in Lansing
that the railroads may present anoth-
er bill for increased passenger rates
at this session, but William w. Wal
ker, general manager OF the Duluth.
South Shore & Atlantic road, on a Wis
II here, has stated that IL they do the
action will merely be OF strategic
nature, not with any expectation that
this legislature would grant increased
rates.
The railroads feel themselves that
their huge freight business in the
past couple of years would prevent
any serious consideration of increas-
ing their passenger rates, such as was
had two years ago, when the roads
came within narrow margin Of win
ming their argument for 2 IL cent
mile rate instead Of the present 2.
cent rate. But they may have bill
introduced asking for the higher pas.

contention that the passenger service
should be made self-sustaining.
The winning of the Duluth, South
Shore contention that 2-cent rate
would be confiscatory on its lines in

cision in the federal court in Detroit,
leaves that road with Scent a mile
