Five amendments to the state const! tion ; are to be submitted to the

likely, to attract any particular attention. :- Space will not permit ns to

; One of tbese^proposed amendments
is of Art. VI, 5 Sec. 21, and seeks to
confer upon the legislature the authority to fix the salary of the secretary of state, state treasurer and attorney general. .. -
A second seeks to amend Art. .Ill,
Sec. 1,'extending the privileges of
the absent voters' . law to include
other classes, notably teachers
A third amends Art. X, Sec. 26 relative to the number of hours men may
be employed.        -
The fourth will amend Art. XIII
and will €topower the 'legislature to
authorize municipalities to condemn
more land tban may be necessary for
parks, etc and to issue bonds tbere
for. We suspect this amendment is
of no interest save to the larger
cities. .: >    -     -

Michigan passes Missouri and now
becomes tbe seventh state in population having 3.6^7,222, a gain in tne
tea years of 857,049, -more than one
half of wbich was in tbe citj| of Detroit, that city now reaching well tp-
war^ the million mark or > considerably oyer one fourth tbe entire population of the state. _.. '
•' With tbe reBUlts of the new census
known, there wili come a new apportionment in the membership of tba
national House .of Repregentives.
If the same basis of represention is
to be retained, there will be an increase of 66 in tbe number of members, making tbat number 500 If
tbe present number is to.be retained,
tn-n of course tbe > basis m'uet be
changed.  A-* ' r~ f- a
**. An interesting conjecture arises as
to tbe effect tbat an increase in the
number or Representees may have
on the question of prohibition. The
city, members are largely wat, the
country dry, regardless of party.
The increase will come largely from
the cities as tbere is where tbe increase in population largely is. . Evidently the change wiJl not help tbe
cause any, .
