State Legislature Strikes at One of
the Leading Industries of
KenOsha County.
MAY DRIVE ICE MEN FROM STATE
The Overlook Bill Placing Tax of Ten
Cents Ton on Exported Ice is
Passed by the Assembly.

The State Legislature of Wisconsin
struck body blow at the great in
dustries of Kenosha county Thursday
afternoon when by vote of 81 to %
the Overlook bill, which has as its OBJ
ject the taxing of all ice shipped from
Wisconsin lakes was advanced to its
third reading and it is now assured
that the bill will pass the Legislature.
The bill provides for the placing of a
tax of ten cents a ton on all ice har-
vested on Wisconsin lakes by COM
panies doing business outside of Wis
consin. Kenosha and Waukesha
counties are'practica11y the only coun-
ties in the state in which the measure
will be effective, but it may have ter
rib1e effect on these two counties. The
bill has met great opposition from
Chicago ice companies and it is
claimed that it's passage will result IN
the ice companies taking their bust
ness from Wisconsin into other states.
The opponents of the measure show
| ed that the ice business was one of the
| 1arges businesses in Southern Wiscon-
sin. During the year just passed the
Knickerbocker Ice company shipped
SIG, 900 tons of ice out of the state. OF
| this amount 227, 900 tons came from
Kenosha county. This company spent
in wages in the state the sum Of half a
million dollars and a large amount OF
this went to labor employed in this
county. The Jefferson Ice company
also had large holdings in this county
as did several independent companies
and their business, the county for the
year is estimated at not less than a
million dollars. Nearly an equal
amount has been paid to 1aborers in
the county. The business of these
companies in Kenosha county is con
stant1y being enlarged. New houses
have been built on Kenosha county
lakes this year and more are planned
for the coming year but with the de
handing of the tax the companies will
be forced to give up their holdings and
seek other sources for the Chicago ice
supply.
The opposition to the bill are declar
ing that the bill is demonstrations
and an effort will be made to prove il
so as soon as it is passed by the 1egis
1ature. The passage of the law woulc
bring the state an annual income Of
100000 a year, but the income would
be secured at the expense of Kenosha
and Waukesha counties. Assembly
man S1ade Of this county refused t.
vote on the measure and with the as
sistance of Senator Reynolds he is
making every effort to defeat it.

WELCOME FOR MR.. KUNKLE.
Members of the Baptist Church Extend 9
welcome to Their New Pastor.

~
Welcome to Their New Pastor.
The members and friends of the
Baptist church to the number of Two
hundred gathered at the par1ors of the
church Friday evening for the purpose
of extending q cordial welcome to
Rev. E. G.. Kunk1e, the new minister
of the church. The reception was of a
delightfully."- informal nature and most
of the evening was spent in the pastor
getting acquainted with his parish
toner's and the people of the city.
The pastors of the different churches
in the city were present in a body and
extended a cordial welcome to the new
minister. Rev. H. S. Roblee delivered
short address welcoming Mr.. kunkle
to Kenosha. He spoke of the pleasant
churches in Kenosha and assured the
new minister a warm welcome among
the church people of the city. Mr..
Rob1ee spoke of the honored place
which had been held by Mr.. Corey in
Kenosha and predicted that the new
minister would find quite as warm a
place in the hearts of the people of the
city. Rev. Van Overing was also
present and made a few remarks.
In response Mr.. Kunk1e made a short
speech in which he thanked the people
for the kindly reception they had
given him and assured them that he
would do all in his power to wage
the battle against sin in Kenosha.
After the speeches were over a jolly
social time was enjoyed for several
hours. At the close of the evening
dainty refreshments were served by
| the ladies of the church.

THERE are good men in our State
Senate, but there is not among them a
man who gives more careful con-
scientious and studious attention to
the questions brought before the Leg
is1ature than Senator Whitehead.
Moreover, there are few men IN the
Republican party of the State who
have given it more faithful service.
In the matter of the primary election
bill he had not been much heard from
until Thursday evening. In the mean
while it was known to many that Sen
ator Whitehead was giving the ques-
ton the most thoughtful consideration
and his speech before the Senate
Thursday evening was by all means
the most practical, the most logical
and the most convincing without the
aid of sentimentalism that has yet
been heard on the subject.

There were some queer arguments
used up there at Madison Thursday
night Just before the vote was taken IN
the Senate that resulted in killing the
Primary Election bills. Senators
seemed to arrive at the conclusion
they were after from almost any d1rec-
ton they might choose. In fact, some
of the conclusions drawn from some OF
the premises used are striking IN the
extreme. Senator Martin, for in
stance, made great speech, the basis
of which was that, by passing pr1-
mary election bill making it optional
with the counties, the Senate conceded
the merit of the principle, and he con-
Guided that if the principle was good
for the counties it was good for the
state. In other words, if physician
experiments with new remedy where
it can do the least harm possible, he
thereby comedies the curative quail
ties of the remedy, and may justly
conclude that if a teaspoonfu1 of 1t is
good teacup full of it is better.
And then Senator McGillivray struck
some s1edge-hammer blows at the OPP
ponents of the Stevens bill by some of
the most startling feats of logic that
this or any other senate has ever wit
messed. He pointed out how much
nicer it would be to be Spooner than
a Pettigrew, and made the very clear
deduction from that premises that it
was, therefore, to the interest of all
who preferred to be Spooners to being
Pettierews to vote for the Stevens
primary election bill. The course Of
reasoning will be seen at once. Senator
Spooner is a big man, the undisputed
king of the senate, while Pettigrew is
rather small potatoes. 1t is evident
that the right minded man would pre-
fer to 1ocomote in Senator Spooner' S
shoes than in those of Pettigrew
Therefore, vote for the Stevens primary
election bill.
There were other gems of brilliancy
and originality struck off at that
session of the senate, but these are
particularly worthy of notice. One is
stricken with wondor and amaze at the
thought that the bills we're actually
killed in the face Of such opposition.

AS THERE is no politics in our school
curriculum, there should most en-
phatical1y be no politics in our School
Board. Nevertheless there is, and
politics of the very worst kind. There
is not only politics there, but the most
disgracefu1 and ruinous contention OF
the elements of se1fshness, avar1ce
and self ggrandizement. There are
men on our School Board who are
seeking not merely to organize the
School Board on a political basis, out
there are men there who are seeking to
advance their own interests at the ex-
Dense. or at least without consideration
for the good of the school.
There is one man on the Board, fully
convinced of the superior qualifica-
lions of him self, who is exceedingly
anxious to rush to the salvation of the
school system of the city by making
himself Superintendent, and all other
things must be kept subservient to this
am bition.
There is another member of the
School Board who is overtaken with
consuming desire for the Chairman
ship of the Teachers committee. Maybe
he expects to introduce stationery and
text-b book department into his business
and it is rumored that he has certain
friends and relatives whom he is inter
ested in getting appointed in the pub
lie schools. This very honorable as
piration on the part Of the School
Commissioner exercises such suprem-
acy over the gentleman that he is in
c1ined to the opinion that he was elect
ed to his. position in order that he
might enjoy this privilege.
These are the motives that are actu
ating certain of our School Commits
sioners, and it is just this that will II
time utterly demoralize the public
schools of the city of Kenosha. The
men who are at the bottom of these
selfish and partisan schemes have NJ
business on the School Board, ever
though they have been placed there by
the franchises of the people. They
have forfeited their right and wher
another election rolls round the aver
sion of the people to this gross per
version of the School Commissioner
ship will result in their retirement.

eve have been here three months, -
said Senator O'Nei1, land I do not
know of a law that has been passed
that we would not have been just as
well off if it had not been passed. -
Senator O'Nei1 might have expressed
it little more dramatically but he
could not have better told the true
story of the present session OF the state
legislature. All important business
has been hung up in Difference to the
Governor and his primary election
bills, Time of the state and of the
LEGISLATORS has been almost absolutely
wasted in order that the friends of the
Stevens primary election bill might
manage, in some way, to engineer their
bill through the Legislature, and the
final result is that it will be defeated.
IF the friends of the bill had shewn a
greater desire to bow to public opinion
and not so much determination to row
with the powers that be, as advantage
Gus results might have been accom-
p1ished long since and some of the
work of the state might have been
attended to besides.
AS it is, the so-cal1ed stalwarts, or
the men who have made their fight on
the public demand for compromise
measure, have manifested a disposition
to GO half way in any arrangement to
hasten the question, and in the Hega-
meister bill, that will probably be
adopted by the senate, they have shown
themselves willing to go little farther
than half way, for the Hegameister
bill provides for the primary election
system under the most favorable Cir
cumstances under which it could posi-
bly, operate. In fact, the friends of the
Stevens bill are really the gamers by
the action Of the senate, because the
system for which they have beer
contending is made conditional upor
its effectiveness and satisfactorynes:
where there are the least possible
obstica1es to it's successful operation

THINGS are relatively quiet IN the
army just now, so the officers are try
ing to get before the public by criti-
cising the statue of Logan, recently
unveiled at Washington. They say
that his position on the saddle is
unmi1itary, and that one leg is longer
than it ought to be, and that he does
not carry his sword in the proper
manner when on parade. But the
officers need not take too much care to
themselves on this account. The
majority of the people will not be up
to these little deficiencies, and if they
are, the name on the statue IS enough
to hide them.

IT is persistent1y urged by the
friends of the primary election bill
that the people knew what was in the
platform when they elected Gov La
Toilette. We hope that is true, but
there was no statement in that plat
form, was there, to the effect that If
the people did elect Mr.. La Toilette
Governor, they would have to have
a primary election law, whether they
wanted it or not?

THE Evening Wisconsin is taking
some hard raps at the Senators who
voted for the Hagemeister substitute
and is pleased to charge them with
bending the knee to the street railway
influence. The reason for the Wiscon-
sins frenzy is the fact that the Hage-
meister substitute, which it calls
swindle, does not contain a provision
allowing the cities the same option on
primary system as is given the
counties. We are of the opinion that
the omission of some such a clause de-
tracts from the merit of the Hagemeis-
ter bill, but do not credit the charges
of the Wisconsin in the matter. There
has been such a strained condition in
the Senate since the beginning of the
discussion of the primary election bill
that it became almost impossible to
expect results that could be satisfac-
tory, even as a compromise measure.
The unyie1ding attitude of the friends
of the Stevens bill is as responsible for
this state of affairs as any other e1e-
ment. Had the objections urged to
the bill by those opposed to the Ste
vens and Miller measures met with
anything like fair and reasonable
treatment at the hands of those who
befriended the bills, or had that fac
ton manifested any willingness what
ever to compromise on neutral basis,
there would most assured1y have re-
suited something far more to the pub
lie taste than the Hagemeister substi-
tute. But when antagonism is so en-
gendered and rival opinions are made
to clash so ferce1y and unmitigatingly
as has been necessary iii this case, it is
not to be wondered at that the results
are unsatisfactory.
We believe that it would have been
to the interest of ali concerned to have
had the cities given the privilege of
primary elections. If there is pana-
cea for the ills of the present system of
nominating city officials in the primary
election system, it is certainly high
time the cities avai1ed themselves of it.
Moreover, there is no sphere IN which
the primary election principle could be
so we'll tested as IN the nomination of
city officials. It would encounter there
more obstacles of the nature of those
it would have to meet in state system,
than in the counties, and would, there
fore, receive thus a more severe test of
it's wonder working propensities, either
for good or evil, than in the counties
alone. It's successful operation in the
cities would not, by any means, mean
that it could be successfully operated
in state affairs, but it would go as far
as the county test, while, if it failed in
the city, it would be inevitably fail
ure in the state, though it might pro
duce fair results in the county. The
results of a primary system in the
counties can no more be taken as a
criterion of it's results in the state,
than the success of such a system IN
the state would prove it practical
thing in national politics.
On the whole, the Hagemeister bill,
though more or less of makeshift,
looks to us like as good a product as
could be we'll constructed by the un-
compromising, antagonistic elements
of the State Legislature, with slight
advantage with the friends of the Ste
vens and Miller bills.

THE Wisconsin state legislature
seems to be fated to conduct itself IN a
manner and spirit just exactly con-
trary to the legislature of Minnesota.
The Minnesota legislature has passed
a primary election law and likewise a
marriage bill, which will make it nee
essalv for all the matrimonial1y in
c1ined in the Gopher state to go before
a medical examining board and receive
a certificate before license may be
granted them. The twin sister of the
Minnesota bill has recently been
killed IN the Wisconsin Legislature. It
remains for time and experience to
determine which of the two has acted
most wisely. It is already an estab-
1ished fact which of the two has acted
the most effectively.
