AT THE ELECTION ON NOVEMBER
2, THIS YEAR
HOME RULE AM'DT. NOT FILED
Shall Legislature Raise the Pay of
State Officers is One of
the Questions

The statement by Coleman c. Vaug-
han that the only consistent thing 10
do is to not submit the anti parochi-
al school amendment unless he
should be ordered to do so by the
Michigan supreme court, means that
only four proposed constitutional a.
mendments will be voted on at the Ell
ection on November 2, this year.
The last days for filling proposed
amendments are passed One amend
which was expected that known as
the home rule" amendment, advo-
Gated by former Mayor Ferle OF Ian
sing and some home rulers OF Det-
roit, was not filed.
Regarding .Wage Scale
One amendment, which il appears
now will be submitted TO referendum
is designed to empower the legislat-
ure TO fix the compensation OF the
secretary Of state, the state treasurer
and the auditor general. Their salar-
les are now limited by the constitut-
ion TO $1,000 a year. 1t is the concen-
sus OF opinion about the state house
that these officers are underpaid, with
the cost Of living at the present lev
ell
In all three departments the dep
uties are paid higher salaries than
the heads. For those second in COM
mand $4,000 is paid, while their sup
eriors received but $4,000. officials
have found II impossible, however TO
find competent men who will act as
deputies for $4,000.
The attorney general and governor
received $4,000 while the superintend-
ent OF the public instruction is paid
$4,000. There Is some agitation in
state circles to increase the superin-
tendent's salary TO $4,000.
The effect OF the second amend
ment, which Is proposed to be made
to Article Ill would be to provide
that every male in habitant of foreign
birth, and the wife OF such inhabit-
ant, who, having resided in the state
two years and six months before the
eight day OF November, 1894, and hav-
ing declared his intention OF becom-
ing a citizen of the United States two
years and six months before the Sth

or and entitled to vote also TO extend
the privileges accorded to absent vot-
ers 10 include any person engaged
in teaching in the public schools OF
the state, and the immediate family OF
any member OF the legislature during
any session OF that general assembly,
Would Regulate Hours
Article v would be changed by the
third proposal. which, in effect would
empower the legislature 10 enact laws
relative To the hours and conditions
under which women, as well as men
and children can be employed.
The last amendment, which is In
tended 10 change Article XIII. would
empower the legislature to authorize
OF the state 10 condemn

needed for acquiring, opening and
widening parks, boulevards, public
places, streets, alleys or for any pub
lie use. and 70 issue bonds therefor.

ARGENTINE SUGAR

All our American Gamers and
preseryers this year will be supplied
with large quantities OF Argentine
sugar to be used in putting up their
packs for the season, total OF A.
600 tons have been purchased in
Argentine market a short time ago for
shipment here. Original reports stat
ed that the purchase had been made
direct by the United States Govern
ment, but this report was later denied,
and II was explained that the pur-
chase had been arranged by the
American Ambassador in Argentina
following the request for such action
by the department OF Justice.
Much confusion over the sale terms
Is reported The Department OF
Justice a few weeks ago interested
itself in the preserving and canning
industry, following the discovery that
large part OF the 1920 fruit and
vegetable crops would be lost II the
Gamers were unable TO obtain sugar
and decided TO bring up a large
quantity from Argentina, although the
sugar in question was TO be purchased
by private firms, the Government hay
ing no machinery with which TO put
through the deal. AS result OF the
fact that Government officials arrang-
ed the transaction the Argentine
authorities waived the usual provision
that the exporter must sell at 30 per
cent OF the quantity exported TO the
Argentine government at fixed
prise. Ii was afterward reported how
ever, that such waiver would not
have been made had the Argentine
authorities been informed Of the fact
that the purchase was not being made
by the United States Government dir
ect.
