v ? i Smelle Topsy-Turvy ASSOCIATION should attend to four major problems —welfare, civil service, labor and the budget—and go home. The death at Governor Pitsgerald. the advent at a new leader and the subsequent 3-aqnlriea which have cen- iators. Frajik ~McKay and ^Bdwaid Barnard, have all tended to Impede action In the House and Senate. The fourth month is drawn*: t o a dose, and comparatively little has been accomplished. This is not intended as sarcasm. Circumstances have been most unusual. Party Purge While headlines hint of new sensa- tions in connection with McKay and the Republican party, a group of leg- islators at Lansing is grimly determin- ed to purge the party in Michigan of the growing suspicion that conven- have been controlled In recent by big city bosses. The fire-, crusading Elton R. Eaton of Plymouth, in Wayne county, led a band of young Republicans in the House to effect passage of a bill aim- ed at the clipping of Barnard's wings at Detroit. In the senate Che bill en- countered an unfriendly committee. A substitute bill wts hurriedly introduc- ed by Uenator D. Hale Brake of Stan- ton. With the McKay Inquiry adding fuel j to the flames, the Eaton-Brake allies ! are demanding a thorough "clean-tip' sound financially, i t s n some 45 per cap} ia, and have a lower net debt and have a debt nearly 30 times as Michigan "a Prom point of view, the state sound financially, although cash requirements." Governor -Dickinson indicated that the 1939-40 budget would be balanced Thursday. M y 1 9 3 9 Happenings at the State Capitol By SEN. HAROLD SAUR i Governor Dickinson recently ex- pressed the opinion that many state did not earn the salary that paid them.

A drastic labor relations b U, c til- ing for the Fitzgerald 10-lay stricr notice, was passed the house by Re- publican caucus agreement only t o b> thrown out by a senate labor com- mittee. 2. A civil service bill, calling for re- duced classifications so that less than one-half of all employees would be af- fected was passed by the house only to be sidetracked in the senate. The senate labor committee, of which Hberal Senator Harry Hlttle of Lansing is chairmsin. has reported out a substitute bill. The measure would create a three-man labor mediation board to seek settlement of difficulties between employer and employee in in- trastate commerce. As nearly all of the major industries are subject to the federal Wagner act. the state media- tion board would affect chiefly the small industries which are now outside the O. L O. field. Since the United States Supreme court outlawed sit-down strikes, some legislators feed there is no pressing need for Michigan legislation. Sena- tor Hittle, however, feels that the ator Brake of Stanton and the writer I Were always the first members of t h e I senate to show im in rh» mmtu A driver, stopped by highway police in Long Island, N. prepares to blow up a balloon In a test lor dranken driving on the highways.

Appre- | party cannot ignore labor and that it heaslve lest <ha party be accused of should woo workers by legalizing ptok- con ducting a "whitewashing" investi- gation, James Thomson, chairman of the Republican state central commit- tee, sent an invitation to Attorney General Prank Murphy at Washington for action by O-men. Murphy is said -boit<iha£ bv to have smiled cryptically at the letter | hlll and remarked: "He is Just two weeks late". Department of Justice have been sifting possible evidence of fraud in connection with the Blue Water bridge financing. While it is very doubtful whether anything worthy of grand «ury consideration will be found. Mur- phy Is reported to be hopeful that O- men will be able to substantiate the charge Which the New Deal governor made frequently last fall that gambl- ing interests were leading contributors to the Fitzgerald campaign chest. Thomson Invites an inquiry painting c-ut *hat the committee h a s a treaeory deficit of 143,000 Messrs.

Civil Service Again All existing eligible lists would be the Brake civil service s reported out for con- sideration of the senate the otner day This measure, a substitute- for the {house civil service bill, would require the civil service commission to conduct new examinations. Exempt from civil service would be ail profeslsonal people (even attorneys and nurses have had to take a civil service examination), persons in spec- ialized occupations such as bank ex- aminers. insurance actuaries, cashiers, sales tax auditors and so on; division heads, court employees, labor depart- ment deputies, attorney general em- ployees and all unskilled workers. Governor Dickinson has assured friends of civil service of fair play. With separate bills passed by the house and senate, the final measure will be agreed-upon in conference com- mittee. The Lansing sideshows, however, have When Governor Luren D. Dickinson | uch ° ! " h ~ l " a " ' abor announced ahortlv after taking the •***" service.

(2) who would be the Republican nominee for governor in 1S4G? As for the 1940 nomination, capital observers began to survey the "cabin- et" to weigh possibilities. Simultaneously, while the sideshow was getting a full house Auditor Geneial Vernon J. Brown pre- cipitated a counter attraction with a disclosure about cancellation of state purchasing orders Involving many thou- sands of dollars, and substitute orders at higher prices.

Schools Get a Break The decision of Governor Dickinson to Mgn a bill appropriating $2,500,000 for public school tuitions comas a s a relief to educators. Grover C. Dillman. director of the budget, recommended that this amount be authorised as on advance payment on the school's allocation of state money for the coming fiscal year. Dr. Eugene B.

Such glowing reports pour in daily tr s t a t e fish and gams division here. An investigation revealed that the Santa Catalina quail is a species en- tirely peculiar to the island and is found nowhere else in the world.

House of Representatives By MAURICE E. POST

T h e past week has b t e n a very busy one in Lansing. T h e committees are commencing to report bills out tha t they have been holding abice the f irst of the year. Th is usually happens, a n d as the session is about to come to a close there is a last minute rush to get their bills out a n d t ry to have them passed.

T h e milk bill. House No. US. was re -ported out of Ways a n d Means Com-mittee this week. Was considered In the Committee of the Whole, passed the third reading a n d voted on the same day. and h a s been sent to the Senate.

Thia bill is not perfect, but most mlttc producers are of the opinion tha t it would a t least help to stabilize the inllk market , a n d have a tendency to

S> in Christ shall all be made alive." Among the Bible c;t«tions is this

passage (Revelations 22:14): "Blessed are they t h a t do h i s commandments , t h a t they may have r ight to the tree of hfe. a n d may en te r in through the gates into the city."

Correlative passages to i - read from the Christ ian S c i e n c e textbook, "C."4eaue and Heal th with Key to the Scriptures." by Mary Baker Eddy, in-clude the following (p. 316): "The real m a n being linked by Science to £is Maker, mortals need only turn from sin a n d lose s ight of mor ta l selfhood to f ind Christ , the real m a n a n d his rela-t ion i * God, and t o recognize the di-vine sonship."

diacomage price wars t h a t are always disastrous to both the ptoducer a n d the consumer.

The House passed the Civil Service Bill some t ime ago Last week t h e Senate passed a bill that was al togeth-er different t han the one the House passed. There was a conference com-mittee appointed, three members f rom the House a n d three from 1-he Senate. I was appointed Chai rman of t h e House Committee.

I have pu t considerable work on these Mils, t ry ing to compromise a n d get together, and I believe t h a t we have a bill now t h a t will be sat isfac-tory to both House and Senate.

We expect to have a new Welfare bill this week, a n d the appropriat ion bills are supposed to be reported f r o m the Committee on Ways and Means.

We expect t h a t many people in many depar tments will be disappointed be -cause there is not enough money t o supply all their demands. The schools will most likely receive 837,500,000. I n the past two years practically every d e -pa r tment over-spent their appropr ia-t ion to the extent t h a t we have m twenty-seven million ov t r -d ra f t . We expect this year to have all the appro-priat ions definite, a n d make tverv de -pa r tment live within their appropria-tion.
