expense of converting a session
in the fall, when a week or two
now would dispose of everything.
The apportionment committee
has held several sessions the
past week and it is thought that
plan carving the state into
Senatorial districts will be sub
mitted to the legislature this
week. It will be consided thor
oughly blythe joint committee, be-
fore is presented and placedupon
the calendar at once and may be
disposed of in short order.
Should it meet with the opposi-
ton the assembly plan encount-
cred, this measure may prolong
the session.
The state tax commission s
bill providing for an increase of
over half a million dollars in
taxes, to be paid by railway COM
panies, has been recommended
for indefinite postponment by
the Assembly Committee on
assessment and collection of
taxes, Mr.. Hall and Stevens dis
senting from this report. Ac-
ton upon this measure is also
expected this week, and while
the bill will probably be defeat
ed, a similar measure is before
the Senate, SO the bill will not be
allowed to die in the upper
house. The railways have a
powerful lobby here who are
leaving "no stone unturned" in
their efforts to defeat it.
The Osteapathy bill providing
for the creation of an Osteopathy
board and a measure that has
claimed SO much of the atten-
ton of the legislature has been
compromised. An Osteopath is
to be placed upon the state board
of medical examiners. This
settlement ends one of the hard
est fights of the session.
Mr.. Halls constitutional
amendment providing for voting
by methods other than ballot
has finally been killed in the
Senate. This action was taken
it seems as the result of an opin-
ion rendered by the Attorney
General, in which he states that
the voting machines may be used
without amending the constitu-
ton, that in employing the
machine a ballot is used and that
the constitution provides for this
form of ballot no matter how it
manipulated. The Senate
thought an amendment unnec-
essary.
The bill providing for the Ii
censing of BARRIERS. and one
which passed the assembly has
been recommended for an indefin-
tie postponent in the Senate.
Senator Mills saved it temporari-
ly by having it referred to the

The occasion last week for
the return of the Wisconsin
battle flags from the State His
torical Library was interferred
with on account of bad weather.
Governor LaF'ollette issued an
order forbidding their removal
should it rain, because the flags
would absorb the moisture and
be completely ruined. Delega-
tlons OF veterans from all parts Of
the state had come to Madison to
take part in the event, and the
weather was such that the
governor orders had to be
carried out. The exercises how
ever were held in the Assembly
Chamber during the afternoon.
Governor LaFollette, Senator
O'Niel and Assembiyman Spratt
were the principal speakers.
The flags were returned the
following day and now occupy
the positions they formerly did /
in the receptales made for them
in the routunda of the capitol.

LAEOLLFTTE To ABOLISH THE
aIs-5 a.. BOARD

GOVERNOR LAFOLLETTE says
the State Board of immigration
must go-and consequently go 1T
will. just what method of rea-
soning the Governor has for this
determination is a trifie more
than we can comprehend. The
statement that the moneys ap-
propriated to the board in past
years has been squandred with
out results is a very poor argu-
ment. No one will attempt to
deny that the appointment of the
secretaries in past years has
been very unfortunate, and that
they have not accomplished re-
suits is no reason why the board
should be done away with.
Governor LaF'ollette did a very
eommendable thing when he
fired Secretary Tayler, but he
should have appointed some one
in his place and the work should
have. continued uninterruptedly.
There would be just as much
sense in abolishing the office OF
Governor because in the last few
years Wisconsin has had some
mighty poor sticks in the place.
There is work, and plenty OF it,
for a good active board of immi-
grafton, and it should be continu-
ed, and good men who will do
something more than to attend
to the drawing of the salary
should be named upon it. The
abolishing of this valuable board
is a genuine blow to northern
Wisconsin, and it seems to us
that the Governor would have
served the state better if, before
arriving at decision, he had
taken a few days lay off in trying
e>push through obnoxious, pri-
mary election methods, and have
Investigated the real merits and
needs of the immigration Board.

- The threatened great steel
strike among the steel workers
seems. to have been satisfactorily
settled, and the treatened labor
upheavel in that industry has
has been ayerted. Strikes are a
bad thing for both labor and
capital, and it is gratifying
sign of the : improvement
of conditions when laboring
men and their employers
can get together and arrive
at "a satisfactory settlement of
their differences. A few years
ago the great manufacturers
seemed to look upon labor as
simply so much hire, and they
did not hesitate to dictate terms
which the men are told to take or
go. But it is different now, and
every man has a voice in such
matters. In the face Of this
changed position who will dare
to say that labor unions have not
been an educator, and a benefit
to the employers and producers
alike.

Base ball will not dOWn-there is
no getting around that fact There
have been several attempts made in
a small way to secure team for the
coming year, but no organized effort
has yet been carried through. All
that has been lacking is for someone
to 90 ahead and take the lead, and
push the proposition. 1t might have
appeared earlier in the season that
there was no disposition to have a
team for the comming summer, but
as the time when playing should be-
gin draws near, the sportsmen and
enthusiasts are beginning to ask one
another: ''Well, what are you going
to do about it, They don't relish
the idea of having that fine park 90
unused, and there is no danger that
it will. Tim. Keefe, the catcher and
base ball crank, has secured his re-
lease from the st. Paul team, and is
beginning to think that Washburn
is about as good a town as he wants
to find to play the game in. John
Sullivan, Lever Lien, Chris. Pcder-
son, Charlie Sowder, and other lovers
OF the game could never be content
to live at home" this summer un-
less there was an occasional game
of base ball to liven matters up, and
the result is going to be a team.
There is only one thing to stand in
the way, and that is the question of
finance-it takes money to run
good team. But that can be fixed
all right, and it will bet is only a
question of the amount of work and
hustle of making canvass among
the business men and sportsmen to
secure the guarantee. We are glad
to say that such a movement is now
being made, and it is safe to say
that if it is vigorously pursued that
there will be no trouble on that point.
Yes, Washburn is going to have a
ball team this year-and as usual, it
will be of good players, who will 90
after and skin everything that it is
brought up against.
1t has been observed that one of
our young men has discarded almost
entirely the use of his tan coat and
light hat. His friends suggest that
the reason is to prevent any further
cases of mistaken identity.
Business men frequently comment
on the different ways in which differ
ent classes of people have of starting
out in the letters they write, but one
received by prominent business
man of WashDurn during the past
week takes the biscuit. !" The
gentlemen III question held several
years tax certificates on a house and |
lot in Bayfield,, and before proceed
ing to foreclose on them he notified
the owner, who came back in this
way: Your welcome letter receiv-
ed, and was glad to hear from you"
The Washburnite nearly dropped
dead, but at last accounts he had
sufficiently recovered to continue
the reading of the letter. and the in
dications are that he will be lenient |
with the delinquent who thus neg
lected so important a matter as to
take care OF his taxes for so long a
time as to nearly lose piece of
valuable property.

promise measure passed by the
Senate having gone to the AS
sembly Committee on Privileges,
and Elections. The Hagemeist-
er substitute is fated in the
Assembly, and measure similar
to the one submitted by Senator
Hatton will probably Resent back
to the Senate. If the Senators
fail to concur, a conference is
likely, which means the indefin-
tie prolongation of the matter.
One Senator tells me they have
submitted fair proposition, and
should the operation of it prove
successful in counties the "stal-
warts" will be willing to extend
it.
The matter will probably re-
ceive the attention of the Assem-
bly, this week, and a measure
applying the Primary Election
principle to legislative, and city
offices as well as county, will be
submitted to the Senate. The
compromise sent over by the
Senate will never pass the lower
house, for in addition to the
strength the original Stevens
substitute had in that body, they
will have with them the nineteen
Democrats in the Assembly, who
will vote solidly against any Pri-
mary Election bill, no matter
how limited in scope the bill may
be. They stand opposed to the
principle itself, and will vote to
defeat any measure pertaining
to reform along these lines. The
friends of the compromise meas
ure are using every effort topass
it in the lower house so that it
may go to the Governor, and he
may sign or veto it, which ever
he chooses; if the latter, the re-
sponsibility of the failure to
carry out that plank in the plat
form, the "stalwarts' maintain,
will fall upon him. On the other
hand the friends of the Stevens
bill are working zealously to have
the Senate bill defeated in the
Assembly, thus to shield the
Governor from any blame should
he feel disposed to veto bill so
different in purport from the one
he has championed. 1t is diff
cult at this time to say just what
the outcome will be. If the Sen
ate remains firm in the stand it
has taken, opposing any plan
applying to other than county
officers, the conference between
the friends and opponents which
it is suggested will take place,
may result in framing a bill
which will at least go upon the
statue books as a Primary Elec-
ton law, even though it may fall
short of the purposes intended
by Mr.. Stevens, and the friends
of the substitute, passed by the
Assembly.
1t is safe to say now that the
final adjournment of the legisla-
ture hinges upon this one i'm
portant question, and if the con-
ference results in compromise
satisfactory to both parties the
session will end May 18th, as the
joint resolution passed by both
houses now calls for. If an
agreement is not reached the
session may run along into the
latter part of the month.
Owing to the many important
measures yet to be acted upon
by the legislature, talk of an ex-
ira session has been heard, but
at present there is no indication
that suchaplan will be attempted.
While it is true that apportion-
ment, and taxation measures
have received, but slight atten-
ton owing to the prominence of
the Primary Election measure,
and that in order to give to these
