HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial
by the Editor

The state of New York and the De-
partment of Justice OF the United
States are involved in a controversy
over what is to be done with Louis
Uepke) Buchalter, convicted in New
York of a score Of murders. Priorities,
so common in every business, have the
Lepke case also in their grip. The U.
S. attorney general ignores requests
that Lepke be granted a conditional
pardon so that New York can hang
him on his sentence of death. The u.
S. appears to consider a l2-year jail
term on a narcotics charge Of greater
importance than the New York re-
quest for the doing away of the viscious
criminal.

Politics Peri|s Roads

n lCHlGANS great highway system is in peril today
wi threatened by the greed of county politicians.
Ever since Gov. Groesbeck undertook decades
ago to pull Michigan from the mud, and gasoline tax
passed for that purpose the local governments ea
ously have been cycling the millions of dollars being
pended annually to give the state fine road system
any in the country
Step by step the local politicians have dug deeper and
deeper into the highway funds until today the counties
get all of the automobile weight tax and sizabe portion
of the gasoline revenue.
NOV they demand, in addition all of the maintenance
millions and the right to spend this money them
selves They Michigan with So counties to have So
different maintenance standards on its state roads
This destructive has passed the Senate and
Highway Commissioner Lloyd B. Reid warned Saturday
that 1t is likely TO pass the House
This outcome would not be particularly astonishing,
for the members of the present legislature on numerous
occasions have shown they interested grab
bling what they for their counties than serving the
interests of Michigan as whole
ONCE the right to maintain the state highways is
~ handed to the counties the state highway de-
partment may well be abolished For the Job of build
ing roads is but minor part of the states responsibility
in these times when prorities permit few roads.
The big Job today is a maintenance job
Not sponsor of this money grabbing bill has
argued that it will better maintenance and there
fore better highways.
They know they cannot do the job as well and they
have stricken from the proposed law provision that
each county would have to employ graduate engineer
THIS bill is bold political measure submitted without
i camouflage
The simple truth is that county politicians want tho
control over the hundreds Of highway department Jobs
which are now under civil service
If this measure is damned through the House during
this final week of the 1913 legislative Gov Kelly
should turn his back 10 tremendous Republican pressure
and show his stature state executive by vetong il
