The status of county school commits
sioners Is uncertain at present. A
law enacted two years ago changed
their terms Of office from two to four
years, but provided that the four-year
terms begin after the election in the
spring of 1921. This would leave the
counties without school commission
ers in 1920. The house already has
adopted bill to have the four-year
terms begin with commissioners to be
elected this spring. Following this
Senator Stoddard introduced a bill to
repeal entirely the law enacted two
years ago and another bill to have
commissioners who are elected this
spring serve until January /, 1925. It
also would swing the elections over
from April to November, those elect
ed in November, 1924, and every four
years thereafter serving terms to be-
gin on January following the Novem-
Der election.

COED ROADS PROJECTS CON
TiNUE TO BE MAIN SUBJECT IN
THE LEGISLATURE.
MICHIGAN LEADER IN ROAD WORK
Legislature, Adopted a Memorial to
Congress Urging Joint Action With
Canada in Building Canals.
BY William Lee Calnon.
Mich.

Lansing, MICH.
Good roads projects continue to hold
limelight in the legislature. The
house invited Philip T. Colgrove, Of
Hastings, to address it on the plans
of the road boosters. Among other
things he informed the representatives
that Senator Townsend of Michigan,
will introduce in congress soon bill
to create a national department Of
highways. taking road work out OF
the hands of the department of agri-
culture, and giving the new depart
ment plenty of funds to carry on a
national plan of good roads.
The proposition which the legisla-
ture has placed before the voters at
the election next April, to bond the
state for as high as $50,000,000 for
roads. means the enabling of Michigan
to meet the federal government half
way on it's plans, he said. He declared
that Michigan is the leader in the
good roads movement and that many
other states are following along the
lines it began.
The legislature adopted a resolution
to memorabilia Michigan members Of
congress to support the Bankhead bill
calling for 5000 ,00O,O 900 for good roads.
Michigan stands to receive $5,500,00O
of this il it is ready to do its share
In the federal road plan. The house,
in committee of the whole, adopted
without amendment the Aldrich bill
to empower the state highway COM
missioner to see that work on state
trunk line highways is not held up by
any county neglecting to do its share.
The bill would permit the state high
way department to go on with the
work and charge the county's share
up to it, Withholding state reward
money if necessary to get the county
TO pay up.

What to do with the Jackson prison
farm lands is puzzling the legislature.
There are advocates of a plan to drop
the farms entirely and advocates of a
plan to remove the prison from the
city of Jackson and place it on farm.
The legislature has requested it's Joint
committee investigating the prison to
dig into the matter of farms and find
what they cost, what use has been
made of them, what they are worth
now. and what is the best thing to do
with them.

Rep. Brown has introduced bill to
repeal the presidential primary law.
Rep. McKeon has put in bill to have
payments on township highway funds
made only on order of the township
clerk, the latter to get ten cents for
each order. Rep. Lewis wants the deer
hunting season changed from it's pres
ent dates of November 10 to Nov. 30
and to have 1t run from Nov. 20 to
Dec. 10. He also would have the
closed season on muskrats and other
small fur-bearing animals start April
1 instead of May / of each year, con-
tinuing to Nov. Is as at present. Rep.
Lewis would have orders of county
drain commissioners ineffective until
approved and countersigned by Judges
OF probate. Senator Brennan wants
county agents appointed by the state
board of charities and corrections in
stead Of by the governor and paid
$4,000 in Wayne county; $4,000 in

The bill to establish a budget sys-
TEN for the state of Michigan will be
the first Of the big measures of the
year to get consideration in the legis-
lature. The last legislature argued
through nearly it's whole session about
what kind Of budget system to in
augurate and finally left the matter
to q commission to be appointed by
the governor and to report its find
ings to this legislature.
The bill based on the report of this
commission was the first one intro
duced in the senate when the session
opened. The prospect is that some
sort of budget system will be estab-
lished, nearly every one being agreed
on the need of one. But agreement
stops there, and much argument is 60
ing on among legislators on what the
actual provisions Of the bill should be.
AS result there probably will be
much debating of every phase of the
proposed law.
However, the senate finance COM
mittee has decided to go ahead with
the matter and after several hearings
to report out the bill and give the argu-
ments chance to start before the leg
islative calendar becomes crowded
with lot of other matters.

The legislature also adopted a me-
mortal to congress urging it to joint
action with Canada in building canals
connecting Lake Erie with the st.
Lawrence river that will permit the
free passage of ocean-going ships,
thus making seaports out of the lake
ports. Rep. Wiley, introducer Of the
resolution, declared in the house that
such canals would mean more to
Michigan than to all the other lake
states combined.

The supreme war council tentatively
decided that the spread of lawlessness
in Turkey made it necessary that allied
troops should be sent there, and the
military representatives were directed
to prepare report on the most equit-
able distribution of this military bur-
den among the allies. The occupation
of Turkey will continue until the peace
conference has determined on the flu
tories. 1t is understood that Palestine,
Armenia, Syria and Mesopotamia will

A bill making numerous important
changes in the present law governing
the issuance of motor car licenses has
been prepared under the direction Of
Secretary Of State Vaughan and intro
duced In the house. The chief change
Is in the license. rates, the straight
horsepower and weight tax being
changed into group system under
which all cars of less than rs horse
power would pay $40 annual tax. Cars
of 25 to 35 horsepower would pay SIS.
Cars of 80 to As horsepower would
pay $40. Those above As horsepower
would pay $25. Electric cars under A.
900 pounds weight would pay $12 and
those over that weight would pay
SIS.
All commercial cars would be rated
at 20 cents per 100 pounds, eliminat-
ing vehicles would be allowed. Those
under 1000 pounds would pay IS for
the first trailer and SO for the second.
Both would pay $40 when the weight
exceeds 1000 pounds.
Other changes provide that dealers
and garages must keep records Of all
purchases and sales and make month
ly reports to the secretary OF state.
Cars parked in highways at night
must have both front and rear lights.
Regulations governing chauffeurs are
made more stringent and licenses may
be refused those who use drugs or in
toxicants. The secretary of state is
given authority to hire inspectors to
assist the police in detecting viola
tions of the law. They would have
the same power as deputy sheriffs and
could enter garages, factories and all
public places looking for violations.
Licenses could be revoked by the
secretary of state for conviction Of
owners or drivers of cars of violations
of the law. The secretary of state al
so would be given authority to open
temporary offices in various parts Of
the state to facilitate the sale and de-
livery of license plates.

There are numerous bills in to in
crease salaries of circuit court
stenographers in various districts
about the state The first to come up
in the senate affected Berrien county
district. Senator Herbert Baker, of
Cheboygan, had a referendum at
tached to it when it was up in COM
mittee of the whole. Lawyer mem
bers of the senate pondered on the
matter over night and the next day
objected to a referendum on strictly
legal grounds.
Baker held that 1t was a matter To-
cal to Berrien county. The lawyers,
including Senators Brennan, Hicks
and Clark, contended that the whole
circuit court act is one general act,
covering the state at large; that it
subdivides the state into districts,
various sections of the act dealing
with the various districts. Hence,
they insisted, an amendment to GER
tain line of certain section, affecting
the salary of stenographer anywhere,
was part of the general act.
The matter finally was referred
back to committee, with instructions
that the views of the attorney gen.
erals Office in the matter be ascer-
tanned. Chase Osborn, when gov
ernor, once vetoed stenographer's
salary bill on the same grounds that
Senator Baker now takes, but others
have taken the other view.

One important point concerning pay
ment by Germany is reported to have
been settled by the peace conference.
1t was decided that while Germany
must make full reparation for unjusti-
fable damage done, she and her assO-
ciates will not be called on to pay
heavy indemnities to reimburse the VIC
torious nations for their war expenses.
Nor will Germany be compelled to re-
linqush the indemnity she took from
France in 1871. Belgium's reparation
claims will have first consideration,
and perhaps those of Serbia will come
next.

The Polish commission of the SUI
preme council, made up Of representa-
tives of America, Great Britain,
France and Italy, prepared to depart
for Warsaw. 1t would seem that this
commission has big job before 1t, for
while the Poles themselves are work
ing fairly tremendously under the
leadership of Paderewski, they are be.
set by enemies on three sides and are
engaged in continual warfare. The
Russian bolsheviki and the Ukrainians
are unremitting i'm their attacks, and
now the Czechs are assailing the Poles
along their southern border. The for
mer have captured a number of towns
which they claim are properly within
the boundaries of Czecho-Slovakia, and
they also have seized the mining re-
gions of Karvin, upon which the Polish
state relies largely for its mineral sup
plies.
This fighting, Of course, is in direct
disobedience of the recent order Of the
great powers that all hOstilities must
cease everywhere, but the Polish rep
resentatives in Paris say their country
cannot stop fighting when 1t is under
constant military attack.

Diplomatically, Russian matters
were at standstill, awaiting replies
TO the invitation to a conference of all
factions on the Princes islands In the
Sea of Marmora. The bOsheviki or
gans rather resented that plan, for

gaining victories In the field that en-
titled them to more recognition. The
representatives in Paris of the other

embargo on many Imports effective
March i. Among the commodities
named are numerous American prod
ucts, and those who seek to arouse

the British Of starting trade war.
More reasonable persons recognize
that the embargo is an emergency
measure to help England in the re-

It is undoubtedly only temporary. At the

looking after our own place in world

On the eve of the assembling Of the
German national convention in Wei
mar, the Ebert government seemed
firmly seated in the place of power,
though there was possibility of CON-
binations that would dominate ii. The
Spartacans were in hopeless minor
ity, however, and there was every rea-
son to believe the revolution would
run the course laid out for it by the
old-time leaders, who never have relin.
pushed control actually. That the
change of form of government has not
wrought miraculous change of the
German heart or the German intention
to rule is the opinion of General Gou-
raud, the French commander, as ii is
Of many less well informed persons.

INTERIOR. Complete unity. 2. Redi-

approximately of equal size without

sions.
Exterior. The annexation of Ger
man Austria. 2. Opposition to the for

The annexation of German Austria
may be baked by the formation of the
proposed Danube confederation of all
the states along the Danube, including
German Austria and Bulgaria, for 1t
