1921 to apply toward redeeming these
bonds, when new bonds for $S4,525 can
be issued and the proceeds put into the
general fund.
The present assessed valuation of the
state, Sill, 600 0GG, at levy of S.S mills
annually will produce about $455,G00 annu-
ally. If the valuation amounts to a total
of $120,0C0,0 00 III 1901, a 10 per cent in
crease would make the total S132, 900 COD,
which at the same rate would produce
S501,6 600 annually. Fhe committee recon-
mends this increase.
On the question of the school and in
stitution lands the committee makes
strong recommendations fer the sale of
at least a portion of the lands by the
state that the interest on the amount of
funds may be used to relieve the general
fund of the states The state was en-
dowed by the general government with
66S,GS0 acres ofsIand for the elucat ional
and charitable Fl institutions, and 1880 COO
acres for the common schools. Of the
. common school laftds 10000 acres have
been sold at an average Of SIS an acre
1t is recommended that 125,e00 acres OF
the school lands be appraised and sold
between Sept. u and Oct. l, 1901 These
lands, if sold sat an averake of Sl5 IN
acre, would produce S1.S75,030, which, at
a revenue of e. per. cent annually from
taxes and interest, would produce $l12,
zoo annually, or SIPS for every child of
school age in othe state.
OF the institution lands, the commit
tee recommends that a small portion
be sold to relieve the general fund of
the state from the entire maintenance
of the institution, and the following fig

and Has a Good Word for Edward.
LONDON, Feb. ST am keeping care
full watch on American AFFAIRS, SAID
Richard Croker in the course of an IN
tervieW with a representative OF the AS
ISOLATED Press today. But L have no IN
tention of talking to the American press
on political affairs at home. There have
been many things attributed to me which
are entirely untrue, but L have no need
to rush into print to reply to them.
Gov OdeIl has been saying many
things about the necessity Of purity In
American politics. but those who nave
watched the panorama Of New York at
fairs are quite competent to judge wheth-
er his party or mine has produced the
best results.
81 propose to be in England for the
opening Of the racing season, and 1 be-
lieve there is quite good chance for
American success now as ever If they act
on sportsmanslke lines.
ST notice all sorts of stories have been
published about my income tax, but those
Interested can rest assured that I have
never been taxed over 9120, so my place
at Vantage costs little more than hum
dred year. The events Of the past
fortnight in England have been of in
tense interest to me. [ am confident
England has not suffered a loss by the
accession of the king. The fact is that a
manly head of the government must give
the empire a more virile tone, which must
inure to the nations benefit.
81 have been much interested in the re-
cent cables about American trusts. Every
one knows 1 am opposed to all their eff
forts to concentrate capital in single

else, and must decline to be interviewed

INDIAN TsI1SELRiV ALTON.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 9.-In the as
sembly Mr. Stevens has introduced, by
request, a bill providing for an appfo-
priation of 100000 for the establishment
of a wisconsin Home Tor Ine5riates,"
where the state shall, unde~ the direc-
ton of the state board of control, cure
all drunkards who may be committed.
Another bill has come in by request
from Mr.. Henry. 1t provides that no
liquor shall be manufactured sold or
given away within one mile of the state
capitol or the state university, or within
500 feet of any school or church IN the
state. A fine of $50 to 500 is provided for
violation of the act.
Assembly Hodgins has introduced two
bills that are designed to cut up the
Oneida Indian reservation into town
ships It appears that the Indians on
the reservation who have been given
their allotments Of land and have be-
come citizens are in favor OF civil gov
eminent and have held several meetings
lately to consider the subject With this
end in view the bills of Mr. I1odgins Gre
ate two townships and also provide for
the election Of officers for each.
Mr. Coapman's bill provides for the
biennial election of supervisors on the
even years, and is designed TO work in
with the biennial election DILL now pend
ing.
Mr.. Cady's two vagrancy bills are
along the lines advocated by Chief of
Police Jansen, of Milwaukee. The bills
provide that included in the list of va
grants shall be fortune teIlars, gamblers
and all other suspicious characters hav-
ing no visible means of support. The
bill is designed to give the police of Mil
Waukee power to deal with suspicious
characters which they now are not al
ways able to do.

the fight to the floor of the house.
A quiet effort is being made en- the
part of some OF the members of cne as
sembly to kill the sweat-shcp license
bill. Some of the members from time to
time have come in contact with the fac
tory inspector and they are by no means
inclined to vest more power in his hands.
While some of the Milwaukee delegation
also are opposed to the bill, most of the
Milwaukee assemblymer and senators
are for the measure and believe that it
will do much to improve the clothing
manufacturing shops and factories of
Milwaukee. which are most affected by
the measure. The bill IS now t.en,ling
before the committee on Eealth and SAM

house on the bill to make supreme ana
circuit court judges elective at the regu-
lar elections.
Populist leaders threaten to bring suit
to test the validity of the bill recently
passed increasing the salaries of the
governor and judges. Their plan, they
state is to apply for a writ to prohibit
the auditor from issuing warrants for
the increased amounts and thus bring
the matter to head at once. Their con-
tention is based on the constitutional
provision that the salaries of pubic Of
ficcrs shall not be increased during their
terms of office.
The joint resolution for a constitu-
tional amendment which was introduced
into the house by representative Parmley.
of Sioux Falls, permitting cities to en-
