Too Much of q Good Thing

Under the above caption The Hori-
con Reporter effectively calls atten-
ton to a possible abuse Of the free
rural mail delivery system as follows.
.sThere is well-founded rumor
a1oat that rural mail delivery routes
are being surveyed from Juneau and
Mayville which will reach almost to
the city limits of Horizon, If these
routes are put into operation they
will greatly reduce the revenues Of
our postoffice. so that it will fall in
to the fourth class. 1t will also in
jure the trade of our merchants be-
cause the mail carriers are permitted
to make side line of carrying light
articles of merchandise on their trips.
This is too much of a good.thing and
should be effectively nipped in the
bud. Free rural mail delivery carried
out in the spirit which it is intended
to be by the government, is good
thing, and deserves all encourage
ment. It gives to those who reside
at remote distances from postoffices
better facilities. and places them more
on a par with others more fav0rably
situated. However, when the original
good intention is perverted SO as to
build up one pOstoffice and one town
to the detriment and tearing down Of
others, it becomes an act of rank in
justice almost criminal in it's evil in
tention. Uncle Sam never meant that
this should be done, and it is entirely
safe to say that Congressman Dahle
will refuse to sanction such under
handed schemes after the facts are
once presented to him"

large profits. Mr.. Major tells US that one of
the elements of his cement costs $3.50 pound,

ACCORDING to a plan submitted in
The Milwaukee Sentinel, it is proposed
ito build the Second Congressional
district, when the new apportionment
is made by the legislature, out of the
following counties: Adams, Marquette
and Green Lake on the north tier,
Sank and Columbia in the center, and
Dane and Jefferson on the south tier.
The population of this district would
be 203. COS, only about 5000 below
the ratio created by the proposed plan.
The Sentinel argues that the district
would be s'of homogeneous territory, y
but we must admit that we in Jeffer-
son county would feel rather strange
at first training with politicians from
the distant counties of Adams, Mar
quette and even Sank. It seems to us
that we might be placed in more
compact district. AS at present con-
stituted however, the Second is away
below the ratio in population, and its
lines will have to be changed material
ly. This question of population is the
only one that need be considered in
the reapportionment problem. The
political complexion of possible dis
tricts will not occasion the slightest
worry, as on the basis of this year,
vote not a single Democratic district
could be formed. Therefore strictly
scientific and non-partisan apportion-
ment may be looked for.

Keep Them Cleaner.

The city streets, especially Main
and West Main streets, were in very
dusty condition today and merchants
who wished to make a display Of goods
were handicapped thereby. If sprink-
led, the streets would be slippery for
traffic and it seems as though no relief
can be expected under such condi-
tions. Daily Times.
The remedy lies. at least to a good
ly extent, in cleaner thoroughfares
If the pavement were relieved of its
accumulation of mud and dirt more
frequently, there would be less filth
to be scattered to the four winds"

CIRCUIT BILL PASSES.
The House Adopts 1t by a Large Vote
Dairymen Are Rejoicing

|
By vote Of 1876 to 90, the house oil
representatives on Friday last passed
the Grout oleomargarine bill, which
was under consideration a greater
portion of the last session, and against
which strong, influential Hobbies were
working at Washington. In many of
the dairying sections of the country
the Circuit measure was an important
issue in the campaign just past and
! Representative Dahles effective work
in favor of it no doubt gained him
many votes among the farmers of
this district. Representative David
son, of the Sixth district, was also a
most active champion of the measure.
Representative Stewart, Of the Ninth
district, voted against it.
The bill as passed makes all articles
known as oleomarg arine, butterine,
imitation butter or imitation cheese
transported into any state or territory
for consumption or sale subject to the
police power of such state or terri
tory, but prevents any state or terri
tory from forhidding the Transportation
or sale of such product when produced
and sold free from celebration in imi-
tation Of butter. The bill increases
the tax on oleomargarine colored in
imitation of butter from 2 to ne cents
a pound and decreases the tax on
oleomargarine uneolored from 2 cents
to OF cent pound.
Regarding the interest OF the Wis
cOnsin members I'm the bill, The Sen
tinel WashingtoD correspondent saws:
Representative Davidson express
ed great satisfaction over the Circuit bill
passing by so large a majorisy. He
has taken an active part in PRESSING
tn is legislation AND was the author of
the first bill offered Oh the subject.
Mr.. Davidson is. a member of the
commit tee appointed last
winter aud has devoted all his,time
since he arrived here to work On the
subject. He participated in the debate
to-day and took the view that the manu-
facturers are primarily responsible for
the fraud in the sale of colored oleomar-
garine. He said he was prepared to
pIOSo uIS IIduu Wy WIG ISIdll SiOCcTS,
as he had made a personal inspection
of stores in Chicago where dairy but
ter was advertised, but where nothing
but oleOmargarine was sold. The
fact that the opponents of the GrOut
bill admitted that fraud was prac-
ticed by the retailers made it I'M
necessary to discuss that proposition.
He exhibited card sent out to the
retail trade by one of the leading
manufacturers of oleomargarine,
which contained illustrations showing
the varying colors of different grades
of oleomargarine. Mr.. Davidson con-
cluded by saying that the manufact-
urers colored oleomargarine purely
for, the purpose Of deception in order
that it may be sold as butter.
Representative Dahle got few
minutes near the close of the debate
in which to give the prelude Of an ex
tended address which he ,Hill print in
the record. He spoke for cheap un-
colored oleomargarine for the poor
man and a high tax on the fraud OF
cOlOred OleOmargarine.
