Views and Interviews.

Conductor Geo. Kuhns: 1t is the
intention of the railroads operating
in Wisconsin to reduce running ex-
penses as soon as legislation is
enacted that is detrimental to their
interests. About the first thing
they will do will be to cut down the
number of passenger trains on
branch lines where traffic is light.
It is very likely a change would be
made in the train service Lancaster
now has probably the former
schedule would again come into use
and you remember that wasn't
very satisfactory.
J. j. Oswald: I used to know
everybody in Lancaster, but I meet
many every day I do not know.
Lancaster is changing and l have
watched it's advance for thirty years

SCHOOL TAX Is
APPORTIONED
Grant County to Receive the
Sum of $29,O41.1 "A.
EACH TOWN GETS PIECE
Lancaster to Draw $1,77O.41 of the Total
Amount. Every Child of School
Age Increases Plum $2.2o6.

State Supt. Harvey has appor-
toned the annual state aid to COM
mon schools. The apportionment
aggregates 81, 681, 626.10 this year as
against 81, $50, 625.O1 last year.
The money for this state aid is
principally derived from the assess
ment of one mill on every dollar of
taxable property in the state. The
assessment this year brings in ST.
5O4, 346, as against 81, 1876, 1884 last
year. The money derived from this
one-mill tax is supplemented by the
interest on the common school trust
funds, which this year amounts to
$3.50, 836.96. All but $3,656.86 of
the available funds for state aid was
apportionment, this small reserva-
ton being for the purpose of meet
ing any claims that may be made by
some little districts that have not
complied with all requirements, but
which may later.
The apportionment is based on
the number of children of school
age between 4 and 20 years -there
are in each district. After it is
known how much money is available
for distribution, the rate per capita
is found by dividing that sum by the
total number Of persons Of school
age in the state. This year there
are 752, O69 persons of school age in
the state The rate this year is 81
236 as against $2.2O6 last year.
There are $500 school districts
that will get portion of the money
apportioned. The money will
not be paid by the state until next
February, after the one mill tax has
been collected.
The various counties will collect
their One-mill assessment at the
same time they collect their other
taxes, which will be in few days.
Notwithstanding about $3.50, 900 OF
the amount of state aid apportioned
comes from interest on the common
school trust funds and from certain
fines, most of the older settled coun-
ties of the southern part of the state
are compelled under their one-mill
assessment to contribute more
toward this state aid fund than they
receive. Grant county comes out
trife ahead as a result of the appor-
tionment, receiving $29, 041.15 and
contributing 1913, 947.85.
County Treasurer Scheinpfug has
received the apportionment from
the secretary of state. 1t will be
divided among the various towns of
the county as follows, although not
disbursed until all taxes are paid in:

The argument that the creature has
greater power than the creator is not
absolutely new, but it is such a poor
weapon that one wonders why it is
used. Courts are created by LegisIa-
lures. TO talk about the inherent rights
of courts which cannot be limited by
Legislatures seems to be the veriest
kind of baIderdash. The subject de-
serves something more than a para
graph. 1t is capable of heightened ar
gument but that must be left to others.
one could go into all the sources Of
power, which might fill many volumes.
But in a nut shell the argument as to
the inherent rights Of courts" Is a
usurpaion of the rights of the people,
and an effort towards establishing a
legal tyranny.

The Papa tia fake seems in danger of
being exploited again plus other fakes
equally absurd. But if people will be
gulled out of their money one need not
object whether it goes into the pockets
Of Papa Ita's projectors and managers,
or into the pockets Of similar enterprise
ing gentlemen who exploit the wonder
full feats of the Magnetic Georgian Girl.
All these things are the veriest Of fakes,
but if people will be taken in by fakes,
will gravely go down and look on at
fakes they must expect to lose little
out of their pockets 1t is amusing to
see thimble rig or three card monte, or
half a dozen other things including
Papa Ita and the Kahunas but it is GER
tainly as poor a way as a person can
choose to throw money away.

excite us today and be of little interest
tomorrow and contemplate the truly
lasting ideas of the great literature to
which we are heirs Every nation is
heir to the ideas of great writer's or
great speakers, and as time goes on
each nation becomes heir To the best
that has been put forth by brilliant
men generations upon generations ago.

The Alternative for Trusts"

Philadelphia Press.
Judge G.. g. Garrison, of the New
Jersey Supreme Court, urges the pur-
chase of the anthracite coal mines I'M
der the right of eminent domain. So
did the New York Democratic Gonven-
ton. Only Judge Garrison, knowing
some law, urges purchase by Pennsyl-
vania, aud the Saratoga Democratic
Convention, knowing none, wanted
the Federal Government to act
The action of the convention was
politics" Judge Garrison is a ju-
rist. He is also keen, able and fore
thoughted man. When he urges State
ownership he speaks for Democrats of
ability and principle.
If President Rooseyelt's proposal of
complete publicity and strict regula-
ton for ''trnsts" is not early adopted
this is the alternative. 1t may as well
be faced, here and now, by the great
corporations, their managers. owners,
stockholders and defenders.

The coal strike in the United States
is attracting more and more attention
in Berlin. The newspapers print
rather full accounts of the conferences
at Washington. The press takes sides
with the miners and censures the OPP
orators for their unyielding attitude.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, regarded
as the best financial authority in Ger
many, devotes leading editorial to
the strike. 1t alludes to the spirit of
the operators as ''lunacy of fancied
greatness, and adds:
"When the coal combination sees it
is able to throw seventy millions of
people into anxiety and need and re-
main beyond reach it will naturally
get the idea that il holds possession
by the grace of God. like the poten-
tates of old Europe"
