The following resolution adopted
by the board of supervisors of En-
met county at their session on Fri
day, October l5, 1920, was read:
ors did on the 21st day of October,
1919. unanimously adopt n resolution
protesting, for reasons therein, set
forth, against further maintenance Of
the Michigan State Police, and re-
questing the Representative of this
County at the next session Of the
State Legislature to use its best en-
deavors to abolish the said police
force, and
Whereas, the knowledge acquired
during the past year of the activities
and cost Of maintaining such police
force has confirmed the opinions Of
the members of this board that the
alleged benefits resulting from such
maintenance, il, indeed, there are any
such benefits, are wholly dispropor-
tionate to the expense involved,-and
Whereas, Emmet county is still a
part of a democratic State and part
of the self-governing country of the
United States of America, rather
than province Of an autocratic gov
eminent,
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
note with satisfaction the action TAX
en- by various Boards of Supervisors
in this State concurring in our for
mer resolution; that we again pro-
test against the maintenance of such
Police Force as being unnecessary,
un-American, detrimental to the de-
velopment Of good citizenship, and a
wastefuul expenditure of public mon
ey at time when the utmost econo-
my should be practiced by all bodies
having control of funds raised by
taxation; and
again request the Representative of
this county at the next session of the
Legislature to endeavor to procure
the repeal of the statute creating
such police fc-ce.
Be it further resolved. that the
clerk be and he is hereby directed to
transmit copy of this resolution to
the clerk Of each board Of supervisors
in this State. and to the persons who
shall be elected to represent this
snl efy-,A N

Respectfully,
