Ing Issues is focusing the   attention!    -- SUMMARY:
of the citizens of the state on develop-*
ments under the. Capitol dome at:
Lansing. Capitol punishment, highway finance ahd control, arid appropriation bills are the issues which inject most spice into the sessions.
Re-enacting the accustomed drama
which It is the habit of the House of
Representatives to stage every two
years, the House devoted one entire
afternoon to a, memorable debate on
the McEachron Capital, Punishment
pill. The largest crowd of the ses-
- sion jammed the side lines and packed the capacity of the galleries to
hear the members make their eloquent and impassioned pleas for and
against the passage of the bill.
Friends of the measure called attention, to the alarming increase of
crime in Michigan and advocated the
death penalty as an effective crime
.deterrent. Opponents of the measure sought to show that capital punishment did not reduce crime ana
that is was the certainty of punishment rather than the severity of
the penalty which would check the
crime wave. Scriptural passages
were volleyed back and forth between
the opposing camps. On the final
roll call the bill went down to defeat
by a vote of 46 yeas to 54 nayes.
Pass Atwood Road Bill
With fewer spectators, but non less
intensity of feeling, the House fought
a prolonged battle over the provisions of Senator Atwood's bill authorizing the laying out of 500 miles of
additional trunkline mileage. As
passed by the.Senate, the determination as to Where these roads should
be built was left in the hands of the
* State Highway Commissioner and
the State Administrative Board. The
House, in committee of the whole,
substituted the State Highway Board
for the State Administrative Board
whenever the latter body was mentioned in the bill. However, after
the House members had thought and
j-alked over the matter for a day,
they adopted amendments when the
bill came up.for third reading which
replaced the words "State Administrative Board" in the bill. On final
passage the House approved the bill
72 to 8.
Thus far this session the Senate
has been able to dodge embarrassing
contests on controversial issues. The
defeat of capital punishment by the
House has relieved them from considering this troublesome question.
They have also been able to keep all
Child Labor bills in committee. However, there seems to be one leading
issue which they cannot side-step. A
reappointment bill giving Wayne
County 7 seats instead of the 5
Which they now possess has, been
reported out of committee and'awaits
general consideration on the floor.
The Detroit members wanted 10
seats for Wayne, but no doubt would
be glad *to haye a loaf, rather than no
bread.
Farmers' Bills Delayed
Progress on bills desired by farm
era has been none too rapid in the
Senate. After many delays, the
Senate Committee on Agriculture
finally reported out the bill providing
funds for paying indemnities on eon-
*d6mned tubercular cattle. However,
they cut the appropriation from $500,-
000 for each of the next two years to
half that amount. This will slow up
the bovine T-B eradication campaign
in Michigan and compel many counties-which have already provided the
local funds to remain on the wait-ing
list for a few years. The bill is now
up for general consideration by the
Senate.
Important farm bills now pending
in the Senate Committee on Agriculture include the measure to give the
State Commissioner of Agriculture
much needed authority to enforce
grades and standards, the bill making
the federal potato grades compulsory,
in Michigan and the Bspie bill to prevent bringing untested cattle into a
county where a T-B clean-up cam-'
paign has been carried out. A move
ia on foot to exempt feeding and
grazing cattle from, this bill and such
an amendment may be made.
Fate of Tax Bills Uncertain
Tax reform continues to be one of
the leading issues before the Legislature, although it is impossible to
predict whether oj.; not any important
bills on this subject "Will receive final

evening, BMarch 31. This luncheon
is to be served at the Hotel Doherty
and the price of the tickets are fifty
cents. Prizes are to be given away
at this meeting and they have been
contributed by the following business

a desire to meet with the Clare business men in a social way, and this
seems an opportune time, so the Clare

close to and between the Five lakes.
By building a dam three of the lakes
can be made into one by raising the
water two feet, Mr. McKay offers
to "build during this coming summer an up-to-date dam, across which
will be made a wide driveway. This
will cost him over $500.00. This dam
will have a six foot shoot, which will
enable the water to be raised or
lowered as is necessary.
With these donations already made
it appears that all the expense the
township would be to is the graveling.
Some time this summer it Will be
necessary to make many improvements on this road in order to keep
it in condition for the mail route and
it would seem that now would be the
proper time to build it for all times.
Every voter of Grant township
should see to it that he votes favorable on this road as it is said to be
the first piece of state reward road to
be built in this section of the township.

The John Q. Look lodge No. 404
Free and Accepted Masons accepted
an invitation from the Congregational
church and attended services in a
body last Sunday morning. The choir
rendered a very fine anthem. Rev.
H. B. Johnson spoke from the text,
"and they song the song of Moses,
the servant of the Lord, and the song
of the Lamb."
He said: "The song of Moses was
a song ofpatriotism, and the principles and precepts of Masonry teach
men to be patriotic. Some of the
greatest patriots-in the world, such
as Milton, Garabaldi and George
Washington were Masons. The secrets of Masonry are not incompatable
with patriotism any more than the
secret meetings of Bank Directors. It
was a song of Law. The Bible is on
every Masonic altar. If we fail in our
efforts to shape our lives after the
model it presents, it is not" the fault
of the order or the book. The goal of
law is the protection'of man and society. Law, singly is- inadequate to
this book. Morals and religion are
co-workers. So law, religion and
morals are the three great regulating
and controlling agencies by which
right and justice are upheld and
society is made possible. These
agencies must be directed by an organization. The church gives regulative force to religion.   The State puts
PASSES FROM THIS LIFE » ** behind the law.   With morals
is the post of the Masonic order.
World-wide, respecting every creed,
it looks to religion on one side and
law on the other and standing on the
middle ground, of the universal sentiments of mankind, puts behind them
the force of tradition and precepts
and organizes the mighty sanction of
human disapproval of immorality.*
Masonry believes in the capabilities'
of human nature, the willingness of
the divine to reinforce the human and
the betterment of the world by the cooperation of God and man.
We sing also the song of immortality because through the lion of the
tribe of Judah, we have proven the
immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body..
When we sing the song of the
Lamb, 'we turn from Sinai to the
little town of Bethlehem, where the
babe is cradled, who is to change the
face of history, to a place called Calvary, where He wins the world by
sacrifice.
There is one perfect example for
life, found in the teachings and life of
Jesus Christ, and if we follow and
serve Him, as we enter that Celestial
lodge above, we shall hear the words,
"Well done, good and faithful- servant."
I wish to state to the voters of
Clare that I have withdrawn my name
as a candidate for city treasurer
from the Democratic ticket for the
reason that I am a Republican and
cannot conscientiously run on that
ticket.
