Another house snag was struck by
Rep. Lynn Lewis, chairman OF the
house liquor committee, when he
finally brought up his bill to put
teeth" in the prohibition laws of the
state. The new Lewis bill aims prin-
cipally at possession of liquors being
made unlawful But is contains a
slight amendment in one section
which druggists construe as aimed at
any medicines which contain any de-
gree of alcohol. The simple words
that will produce intoxication' are
held to affect many proprietary me-
dicines.
objection to the amended Dill
brought a vigorous defense from Rep
Lewis that his bill had been carefully
considered by many attorneys. but
house members were afraid they were
being rushed into action and on a
motion to defer consideration OF the
hill for a time they voted As to 20 to
nut the whole matter over.

RECORDS FOR NEW BILLS IN.

EIGHT HOUR BILL STRIKES SNAG
Legislators Afraid Small Manufactures
May Be Driven Out of State With
An Eight Hour Day.
(Staff Correspondent
Lansing, Mich.

-'A'Nh'
The eight-hour day bill struck a
snag in the house of representatives
after seemingly having won its way
through the legislative shoals. In com.
mittee of the whole the house spent
three hours debating the matter of
hours, OF labor of workers, with a final
consensus OF opinion that Industrial
enterprises had better be left alone to
work out their destinies. The fact
that small manufacturers might be
driven out of the state. with an s.
hour day in Michigan and not in neigh
boring states, was winning argu.
ment.
The house committee let the S-hour
bill pass as ii came from committee,
applying only to public work But be-
tween the passage OF the bill in COM
mittee of the whole and it's appear
ance on third reading there elapsed a
weekend of the Legislative session.
Over that weekend appeared objec-
tioRs that the 8-hour day would apply
to all state employees. including eleva-
tor men, clerks and others in the
capitol itself who were making no OBJ
jections to a 9-hour day and whose
pay would go up under an S-hour
schedule. to the decentralization of the
budget just completed
The result was that when the house
met again and the S-hour bill came up
for final passage there was consider
able thought and very little oratory.
Rep. Holland, of Gogebic, introducer
of the original Shour bill, which, by
the way, was the first bill introduced
il the house in the present session.
moved to amend the bill so as to in
clude all industries in its scope. This
amendment was defeated without divi-
sion. Rep. Holland thereupon joined
with others in voting against the bill
in its application to public works only.
Only 10 house members voted for the
passage of the bill, while SO registered
themselves against it, thereby buy
ing it for the present session.
New measures literally continue TO
pour into the house and senate. 1t
looks now as though all records for
new bills would go by the board at
thiss session, despite the record OF
1900 bills hung up at the 1913 SEES
| sion. Almost 500 have come in since
! January l and they continue to pie
up at the rate of 100 TO $50 week.
1t will be nc cessary for the lawmakers
to slow up on the matter of new bills
or quit work in brief time in order
to stop short of the 1913 mark.
Many OF the new bills are OF wide
interest. One of the most recent, Of
fered by Rep. OBrien, of Iron River
would create forest park commissions
of three members in each county OF
the state, after referendum vote for
such commission. 1t would be the
duty of the commissioners to pick out
available sites for preserves or parks
for public purposes. The commits
sioners would be named by the county
supervisors and the sites they selected
could be purchased by the supervisors
IL they agreed with the commission IS
! choices.

Exposes Himself to Become

Poplar.--Julius Tessman, ~ years

few days ago, and his physician de-

The weather was severe on the day

Tessman insisted on making the long
trip up the branch line, and before
he reached his destination he was in
serious condition. He demanded.

in order to appear before the judge
It was necessary for his two wit
nesses, County Commissioner r. E.
Patch and United States Commission
err H. E. Richard, to hold him while
he declared his allegiance to the
United States.
He had suffered lung trouble for
some time, but his condition was not
considered serious until after his
trip to Plentywood. Born in Ger
many and with most of his relatives
still there neighbors declare, howev-
err, that Tessman had always been a
good citizen and for the last few
months his chief desire was to be-
come nsturalized. He leaves consid-
cradle property to his wife.

The U. s. senatorship

Judge Wendell P. Stafford of st.
Johnsbury receives strong endorse
ment for the United States senatorship
from the ST. Johnsbury Caledonian 1t
fairly sets forth the merits of Judge
Stafford, He has the making of u
Vermont senator and is equal to
maintaining the high traditions that
go with il. In character, intellect and
eloquence Judge Stafford as senator
would measure up with the best. His
Experience of the past Is years in
Washington and the insight, acquain-
tanceship and standing it has brought
him would be special assets in his
favor We do not know whether the
Stafford candidacy is TO be considered
seriously or whether the CALIFORNIAN
is merely feeling the political pulse.
Nor do we know whether present
Senator Dillingham; intends to run
again. We will say, however, that
Judge Stafford would make a worthy
successor to Senator Dillingham;, and
if the latter in view of his long ser
vice and his advanced years, which
another term would carry into the
eighties, should decide to retire the ST
Johnsbury man would surely receive
strong support One of the best points
in his behalf is that he is still young.
