Mrs.

Minister Procope waa to be the honor guest at the dedication of the new Suomi College building in Hancock, December IS to 17. BY GUY H. JENKINS (Grand Rapids Press) such time as the etate can atart the printing pressee to meet all demands the question of finances will be an aggravating one. For yeara there has been a difference of opinion as to the statue of the treasury, unpaid bills, how much for this or the other thing.

But since July 1 the accounting divlalon of the auditor office has been functioning, on ita figures. Vernon J. Brown, auditor general, announced the financial activities for the first quarter of the fiscal year 1930-40 Indicates the deficit June 30 next might exceed the one the administration Inherited last June X0. Brown also announced that for the first time In the state's history there is going to he a monthly financial statement everyone can understand. The auditor general drew the fire of the executive office, budget office and State Treasurer Miller Dunckel.

when he made hla dcficit prediction. Gua T. Hartman, budget director, aays Brown Is wrong. So does Dunckel. Emerson R.

Boyles, asalstant gov ernor, possibly speaking for the front office, says there will be no deficit and up to Brown to stop psying out cash when appropriations have been exhausted. Brown's press statement kicked np quite a fuss. But that made no difference to the auditor general. The monthly will be forthcoming so the people will know the situation. FOR YEARS POLITICIANS HAVE PROMISED PROGRAM For years the politicians have been promising Just such a program and it appears that Brown Is the first to make good.

Alex J. Groesbeck established the administrative board and accounting division so he could find out the cash position of the state. And so it went until Frank Murphy became governor three years ago. He put Harold D. Smith in as budget director and Smith, at a coat of many thouaands of dollara, brought financial order out of chaos, but still no one was able to get any financial figures that would stand up.

Brown asserts his accounting division is OK and he will stake his life on the authenticity of the reporte. Brown touched off aome political fireworks in Detroit in proposing governmental reorganisation. One of his 18 points rather emitted some aroma. 8ome believe Brown was making a bid for the gubernatorial nomination. Others say no.

They feel Brown is not Interested In the gubernatorial race at this time. Gov. Dickinson, in spite of his repeated announcementa that he is not a candidate for any office, will be In there next year If hla health permits. The feature In program Is his suggestion of a homeatead exemption from property taxes for owners more than 60 yeara of age. If such a proposal were enacted the local assessing officers would boost other valuatlona to make up for the loss of property removed from the tax roll.

The proposal goea over big with those whose property would come within the exemption. Brown'e suggestion for a central revenue office seems to be a good one but Michigan's legislature haa refused to adopt the plan. The preasure against the loss of political Joba always has predominated. KIDDER, IONIA DEMOCRAT, MAY LAND LIQUOR JOB Gov. Dickinson is going to take another week or 10 days before deciding on a successor to V.

F. Gormely, whose term as a member of the liquor control commission expires Dec. 15. The governor really looks with favor upon Theodore I. Fry, former etate treasurer, but it Is understood that Fry Is not interent- ed.

For several montha Fry haa been acting aa trustee for the Reo Motor Co. In the reorganization program now before the federal district court In Detroit. He Is not Inclined to leave the post for a political appointment auch as the liquor commlaalon. Dickinson Is giving the field of possibilities a thorough atudy. He wanta a Democrat who has had some merchandising experience but is going to be in no hurry to make known hla choice.

The governor la considering Harvey E. Kidder of Ionia. Kidder, one of the wheel horses of the Democratlo organisation, haa machines and finally to the load- ng bins. To Employ About 75 It. is estimated that hot ween R0 and 75 men will be employed at the plant when it Rets undor production.

No housing have been made at. Kremlin, so for the time being at least, the ployes will have to commute ho- twren Kremlin and Pemblne. Whether It Is plnnned to eventually build at Kremlin hns not been made known. Pemblne, the Aus tin company of Chicago having completed Ita construction Job for the Staso Milling company at Kremlin, seven miles east of Pembine, 25 millwrights are now en gaged in tuning up the machinery for the rock crushing plant that is expected to go into operation before long. Rock for roofing ma- torial will be crushed and colored at the plant and loaded Into 10 loading bins, each of which will hold about a carload of material.

The plant has all the appearance of representing a large In vestment. Early estimates placed at $250,000 the coat of the construction. Eighteen buildings are located on the site and there are a multitude of conveyors between the various crushing machines and the siding where the loading bins are located. A total of seven crushing machines are located on the site. Much Other Equipment The equipment includes four storage tanks, three large acid tanks, three large blast driers, silos that are 25 feet in diameter and 30 feet high and much other equipment.

The acid tanks, for use in coloring the rock, are rubber lined and even the piping is of rubber. Remaining to be Installed Is an air cleaning machine, the purpose of which is to take all the dust out of the buildings. A concrete ramp has been built at one end of the project to permit trucks to haul the rock to the first crushing machine, from where It will be conveyed to other I Hospitol Edmond Rober, Fayette, submitted to an operation for relief from appendicitis at St. Francis hospital.

SIDE GLANCES by Galbraith been a successful buslnees man.1 He served as warden of Michigan reformatory at Ionia In the administration of Gov. William A.

Comstock. He haa held aloof from internal party etrlfe. His selection to aucceed Gormely would not arouee the political wolves, many believe. PORRITT SEEM MURPHY ON SUPREME BENCH Charles S. Porrltt, Democratic atate chairman, predicts Attorney General Frank Murphy will be appointed to the United States supreme court to succeed the late Justice Pierce Butler.

While in Washington recently Porrltt was able to do a little political scouting after taking care of his legal business. Porrltt puts It this way: know professionally I am a lawyer and I must take care of the business of clients. But it real- looks as If Murphy la to have the appointment. He Is well qua! ified and in addition to that la very friendly with the president. The apointment would be a great compliment to Porritt and G.

Donald Kennedy, deputy highway commiasioner. had about 20 mlnutea with James A. Farley, postmaster general and chairman of the national committee. The visit gave them an opportunity to put in aome plugs to hold the 1040 Democratic national convention In Detroit. Farley told the Michigan man that several cities are eager for the meeting.

Philadelphia, Loe Angeles and Chicago will make bids, as will Detroit. If the uaual procedure Is followed the convention will go to the city which makes the largest contribution to the national committee. Of course, party leaders will have something to say about the final decision. Porrltt dlacovered that many western Democrats are booming Los Angeles. Others would like Chicago, which ir about midway between the east and the west.

Detroit gets the convention it will be required to raise considerable money, probably more than PorrlK said. believe a decision will be reached before Porritt has about concluded President Roosevelt will not be a candidate for a third term. PUTTING MURPHY ON BENCH WOULD END STATE ROW The chairman said he would summon the state central committee early In January to tlx the time and name the city for the and ask spring convention. The Jackson day dinner will be in Detroit Jan. not Jan.

25, as first reported. Porritt says the committee prob- sbly will meet the day afterward. He intends to talk to some of the members before Issuing the call. The vacancy on the supreme court bench has many possibilities ss far as Michigan Is concerned. If Murphy is nsmed It would tend to quiet the Democratic factions In the state.

However, If he does not accept the appointment, which many believe President Roosevelt will tender him. there Is a possibility that Miss Florence E. Allen of the circuit court of appeals at Ctnclnnatl may he selected as Butler's successor. If this should happen Judge Frank A. Picard of Saginaw may be In line to succeed Judge Allen.

All of which furnishes the political dopesters many speculative oportunlties.
