THE members of the Legislature
went to their homes for the Easter re-
cess full of the warlike spirit of ''no
compromise" But it is to De hoped
that a few days quiet reflection far
away from the overshadowing inf1u-
ence of the capitol will put them in a
more reasonable frame of mind and
lead them to see the wisdom and the
necessity of reaching some sort of an
agreement on the primary election
law. If the Legislature does its duty
to the Republican party some kind of
primary election bill will be passed
at this session. Ever since the Legis-
lature met the attitude of the Assembly
towards primary election has closely
resem b1ed that of the small depositors
towards bank with regard to their
money when a run is in progress. If
they can get it they don't want it. If
they can't get it they want it and want
it right away. A little rest and re.
Election ought to put the members IN
more reasonable frame of mind. The
primary law as sent to the Assembly
by the Senate is radical enough in all
conscience. All the Offices in the state
except 152 come under the operation Of
the law, and these are to be put under
the law later if the people so will. IF
it is passed at this session the people
will have an opportunity to judge of
its workings before voting on it. And
if the advocates of the law are as sure
of the result as they would have us
believe, they have no reason to fear
the judgment of the people.

First National Bank Will Advance
money to Pay the Orders Is
sued TO City's Workmen.
ALL IMPROVEMENTS MUST WAIT,
Saloon Licenses Expected In July Will Re-
lieve the Depleted Condition of
the Treasury for Few Weeks.

The workmen for the city will re
ceive their pay on time potwiths nd
ing the fact that the funds in the city
treasury are now exhausted. The of
ficials of the First National Bank have
come to the aid of the city and the
bank has announced that it will adj
vance money for the payment of al
city orders issued up to the first oil
July. Of course there will be a limit
to the payments made and it is under,
stood that the orders paid are to be
those necessary for the running ex
penses of the city.
Had the street workers aud men or
the regular pay roll been forced to sci
their orders for the next three months
many of the wage earners would have
lost considerable money, but the bank
will cash the orders at par and make
some settlement with the Finance
Com n1ittee of the City Council later in
the year.
The condition of the city treasury is
such that it will be impossible for the
city TO meet any obligations until
after the first of next July when the
money due from saloon licenses will
be coming in. The fifty odd saloons
IN the city will pay into the city treas
ury something like $4,000 and this
money will be used for the running ex
penses of the city for the remainder OF
the year.
In the meantime it will be necessary
for the members of the Council to do
away with all expenses that are not
absolutely necessary, as money for
these purposes will not be advanced by
the bank. Of course the money re-
ceived from the saloon license fund
will not be sufficient, but it will give
the Council a chance to meet its OBJ.
legations and avoid the payment of in
terest on money for any long period.
The funds will again be exhausted
about the first of September and at
that time the city will have to make
some contract with the bank for the
payment o. orders until the first of
AN0I As4uACL WHICH, duOluGI LAX levy
will become availa Bile.
The present condition of the city
treasury has shown the members of the
City Council that the tax levy, as it is
now made, is wholly inadequate to the
demands of the city, and already the
members of the Council are discussing
an increase in the tax levy for next
year. There seems to be a decided
movement in favor of the city secur-
ing some sort of reserve fund which
will make it possible for it to get
square with the world once and begin
over again. For many years the
funds of the city have been running
low and the large indebtedness that is
to be paid each year makes it impossi-
BILE for the Council to pay all expenses
from the funds raised.

Operators OF Separat0rs in Ken0sha
and Lake Counties Meet in Keno
sha and Form Combine.
DEMAND BETTER AND SURER PAY
farmers Wife viii Also be Required to
See to it That the Threshers are Better
Fed During the Season.

The operators of threshing machines
in Kenosha county and Lake county,
ILL.,, met in Kenosha Friday afternoon
for the purpose of forming an associa
ton, and hard times are in sight for
the farmers of the two counties when
the threshing season opens again. In
cidentally the farmers wife and the
servants at the houses will be consid-
erab1y interested. The meeting was
attended by large number Of the
trade in the two counties and the SEN
timent in favor of the combine was
we'll nigh unanimous.
The plans of the new association are
still in embryo but it is certain that
the evils of the life of the thresher
will be corrected and the farmer will
have to pay for the corrections. The
threshers claim that they have been
losing money for the past few years.
The business is not what it used to be
when Kenosha was great wheat
county and again the rates for insur-
ance on the machines has been raised
until the risk of running machine
has become very great.
The farmers have in years past
taken the old plan of forcing the
thresher to wait for his money until
the crop is sold and sometimes even
longer. These evils are to be corrected
by a raise in the rates for work and
besides this the new combine will de-
mand that the farmers pay up all the
old accounts before the machines are
pulled into their barn yards! If the
old accounts are not paid up the grain
will be allowed to rot in the stack be-
fore the members of the Threshers'
Union will touch it.
The rules of the Union will be issued
early in the season so that the farmer
will have due warning of the prices to
be paid and the terms on which the
work will be done. It is probable that
this set of rules will also affect the
women of the farmers home as rules
in regard to the food to be furnished
the threshers will be placed IN the
general announcement of the new COM
bine.
No longer will the horny handed
sons of toll be willing to feast on corn
beef and cabbage or salt pork and
beans but the new rules will probably
stipulate that the men who follow the
machine be fed on the fat of the land.
The temperance element in the organ
ization will probably prevent de-
mand for beer in the yard, but this
element will insist on many kinds of
pie and a plenty of roast beef or chicken
with the other de1icacies of the season.
The trade of the thresher is such
that he demands good food and he will
have it or the farmer will return to the
old method of using fail to get his
grain and husks separated. 1t is ex-
pected that the new combine will be
composed Of every operator of thresh-
ing machine in this section of the
country and the trust will be an ex-
ceedingly strong one.
