475 New Proposals Approv-
e4 by Solans Include
Huge AppropriationjS
VETO AXECSi FREELY
This Article is Interesting Summary of Work of Recent
Session,
During the recent session of tho
State Legislature 899 bills and 20
3oiht resolutions were thrown into the
'hopper of the legal mill. After the
•Wheels of government had ground relentlessly on for the unusually long
period of four and a half months, 471
■ot these bills were enacted into law
-v and four of'the joint resolutions weTe
adopted. The other proposals fell by
■the wayside as chaff removed and,discarded in the lawmaking process.
Outstanding among the measures
•liassed by the 1927 lawmakers were
{he Leland 3 cent gas tax, the Wade-'
J3artlett bill amending the "workmen's
compensation act, tlie new criminal
'code, tho school code and the -traffic
" *ode.
yf*rom early in the session until almost to the end, capital punishment
• was one of the mooted questions continuously before the lawmakers. For
Ihe .previous three sessions, death
penalty hills had been defeated in the
, House by narrow margins, but had
"■ never been brought before the Senate.
This year tlie Armstrong-Palmer bill
jpassed the House by a vote of 61 to
' ";J5 and later, in considerably amend-
; ed forrn, was approved by the Senate
•-"svifh only one vote to spare, How*
.ever, the Senate and the House failed
'to reach an agreement regarding several important det. lis of tlie bill, so
Governor Green was relieved of the
perplexity and embarrassment which
might have been his had he been plac-
- ed in the position of having to sign
or veto the death penalty proposal. *
Enact New Crime Code
Though no capital punishment bill
was passed, several measures to dis-
ooiffiage crime and to secure more
swif£ and sure justice were enacted
iato law. Probably the most important of these was the new crime code
dealing with criminal procedure and
punishment. It was a volumnious
measure, codifying and simplifying a
large number of previous statutes
dealing with the same subject matter.
It includes several features of the
famous New York Baumes criminal
law. For instance, the penalty for
conviction the fourth time for felony
is life imprisonment.
The Legislature adopted -a whipping post bill, but it was promptly
vetoed by the Governor, who held
that it would be ineffectual and serve
only to give Michigan a lot of unwelcome notoriety.
Highway finance was another of the
knotty problems which harrassed the
law-makers .during the greater part of
the session. The 'only important bill
along this line to emerge from the
committee was .the Leland bill boosting the gas tax to 3 cents, a gallon
■without making any change in the
present system of automobile licenses. This passed the Senate with
only three negative votes, and was
once defeated by the Representatives
38 to 50. However, it was later revived and adopted toy a vote of 65 to
Sfi.
•Lobbyists In Limelight
One of the spectacular issues coming before the 1927 session was tlie
regulation of lobbyists. Shortly after
convening, both the Senate and the
House passed amendments to their
rules, excluding all lobbyists from
the floor of the legislaure chambers
during the hours of the daily sessions.
This didn't bother the lobbyists much
because they could button-holeH the
lawmakers at any other time, except
during the sessions and they could
hear and see all that went on from
their seats in tlie galleries.
Ail administration bill for the regulation >of lobbyists was subjected -to
& dbfcen or so ridiculous amendments
and then postponed indefinitely. A
companion bill to prevent Senators
or Representatives from receiving
compensation in connection with the
passage or defeat of pending legislation, was permanently side-tracked.
During the closing hours of the session the House passed a resolution
commending the lobbyists for their
conduct and assistance.
Probably, the feature of the recent
session of greatest . interest, to the
average citizen is the huge total of
ih<3 many'appropriations which were
rranted. Budget bills with and with'
out tax clauses totalling approximately .?8O,OO0,00O of State funds to be expanded during the next two years
were approved by the Legislature and
sent to the Governor.
In the case of appropriation bills,
Michigan's Chief Executive has the
authority to veto them in their en-

PUBLIC SCHOOL TO ASSIST
IN MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM
The Clare high school band is making excellent progress, there being
twenty-three members of the organization who are meeting each week
for practice, and several others are
waiting for instruments which have
been ordered.
Supt. Zinn, seeing the need of an
organization of this kind in our school
and community, has made it possible
thru students who desire to carry this
as a subject from the six grade and up,
can do so and its future has been
made possible by the Chamber or commerce and some of the business men,
also an appropriation by the Board of
Education and the donating of instruments of the former city band.
Mr. George Boyd of Alma College,
is director of the band, and spends
one evening a week in Clare looking
after this work.
Mr. Boyd is a senior at Alma and
will graduate in June. He is well
qualified as a director and instructor
in band music and fortunately for
Clare, is to be a member of the high
school faculty next year.
The boys and girls of the public
school will march in the Memorial
Day parade next Monday, Children in
grades 1 to S inclusive will meet at
the school house at 10:00 a. m. Teachers will be present to direct their
children in the march.
The Junior singers will take part
in the servicss at Cherry Grove
ceme.-.i-y.
The School Art Department, under
the direction of Miss Genevieve Tosier, is preparing wreathes for the
soldier ahd sailor graves.
The Boys Bicycle Brigade will be a
feature of the parade. The younger
boys are decorating their bicycles for
the occasion.
The new Clare school band plans
to form in line at the City Park and
join in the march, Tho the band is
not ready to play it is already a
reality. The next memorial day will
mean more to Clare for her own boys
and girls will be ready to furnish the
music. While Clare waits for the
home band to develop It appreciates
the work of the visiting band.
The school contains the future
voters in America's citizen. These
coming citizens are glad to join "the
older citizens in the observance of
this sacred patriotic day.

third in the 220 yard dash, Acey
Parker placed third in the high jump,
and Wilson Sharpe won fourth place

Johnson, Jr., and Wally Johnson were
the members of the Clare team and
they were matched with Caro and

Lowell's fourth man and brought vic-
toi'y in this heat. Clare'sx time for

After the •Wheels of government had ground relentlessly on for the unusually long period of four and a half months, 471 ■ot these bills were enacted into law -v and four of'the joint resolutions weTe adopted. The other proposals fell by ■the wayside as chaff removed and,discarded in the lawmaking process. Outstanding among the measures •liassed by the 1927 lawmakers were {he Leland 3 cent gas tax, the Wade-' J3artlett bill amending the "workmen's compensation act, tlie new criminal 'code, tho school code and the -traffic " *ode. yf*rom early in the session until almost to the end, capital punishment • was one of the mooted questions continuously before the lawmakers. For Ihe .previous three sessions, death penalty hills had been defeated in the , House by narrow margins, but had "■ never been brought before the Senate. This year tlie Armstrong-Palmer bill jpassed the House by a vote of 61 to ' ";J5 and later, in considerably amend- ; ed forrn, was approved by the Senate •-"svifh only one vote to spare, How* .ever, the Senate and the House failed 'to reach an agreement regarding several important det. lis of tlie bill, so Governor Green was relieved of the perplexity and embarrassment which might have been his had he been plac- - ed in the position of having to sign or veto the death penalty proposal. * Enact New Crime Code Though no capital punishment bill was passed, several measures to dis- ooiffiage crime and to secure more swif£ and sure justice were enacted iato law. Probably the most important of these was the new crime code dealing with criminal procedure and punishment. It was a volumnious measure, codifying and simplifying a large number of previous statutes dealing with the same subject matter. It includes several features of the famous New York Baumes criminal law. For instance, the penalty for conviction the fourth time for felony is life imprisonment. The Legislature adopted -a whipping post bill, but it was promptly vetoed by the Governor, who held that it would be ineffectual and serve only to give Michigan a lot of unwelcome notoriety. Highway finance was another of the knotty problems which harrassed the law-makers .during the greater part of the session. The 'only important bill along this line to emerge from the committee was .the Leland bill boosting the gas tax to 3 cents, a gallon ■without making any change in the present system of automobile licenses. This passed the Senate with only three negative votes, and was once defeated by the Representatives 38 to 50. However, it was later revived and adopted toy a vote of 65 to Sfi. •Lobbyists In Limelight One of the spectacular issues coming before the 1927 session was tlie regulation of lobbyists. Shortly after convening, both the Senate and the House passed amendments to their rules, excluding all lobbyists from the floor of the legislaure chambers during the hours of the daily sessions. This didn't bother the lobbyists much because they could button-holeH the lawmakers at any other time, except during the sessions and they could hear and see all that went on from their seats in tlie galleries. Ail administration bill for the regulation >of lobbyists was subjected -to & dbfcen or so ridiculous amendments and then postponed indefinitely. A companion bill to prevent Senators or Representatives from receiving compensation in connection with the passage or defeat of pending legislation, was permanently side-tracked. During the closing hours of the session the House passed a resolution commending the lobbyists for their conduct and assistance. Probably, the feature of the recent session of greatest . interest, to the average citizen is the huge total of ih<3 many'appropriations which were rranted. Budget bills with and with' out tax clauses totalling approximately .?8O,OO0,00O of State funds to be expanded during the next two years were approved by the Legislature and sent to the Governor. In the case of appropriation bills, Michigan's Chief Executive has the authority to veto them in their en- *ContlnueG on Last Page)" ORGANIZATION OF V SOCIETY FOR CRIPPLED Representative Number of Clare Citizens Attend Meeting Held at ,Hotel Doherty Wednes- f day Evening.

The Mount Pleasant acrobats gave an entertainment that Avas very much enjoyed. It had variety and a few thrills.

Supt. Zinn, seeing the need of an organization of this kind in our school and community, has made it possible thru students who desire to carry this as a subject from the six grade and up, can do so and its future has been made possible by the Chamber or commerce and some of the business men, also an appropriation by the Board of Education and the donating of instruments of the former city band. Mr. George Boyd of Alma College, is director of the band, and spends one evening a week in Clare looking after this work. Mr. Boyd is a senior at Alma and will graduate in June.
