The statement of Dean Henry of the
college OF agriculture that the Iowa Leg
islature at its last two sessions appro-
priated more than $1,000.000 for its agri-
cultural school has furnished food for =
great defl of reflection on the part of the
members, and the belief is rapidly grow
il that the Wisconsin Legislature has
not been as liberal as it might have been
or as it ought to be, particularly as the
Wisconsin college of agriculture was the
pioneer institution and nearly all of the
agricultural colleges in the States have
been fashioned largely after the Wiscon-
sin institution This speaks well for
Prof Henry. but the compliment is lost
sight of in the magnificent appropriations
made by other States, apparently upon
the mere statement that the money is
necessary 1t is a remarkable fact that
while the Wisconsin college of agricul-
ture is considered in the foremost rank
and all of its improver ents are immedi-
ately copied and its courses Incorporated
into those of the colleges of other States,
the Wisconsin Legislature has never
granted an appropriation for the institu-
ton without constant urging and continu-
al begging. Even then the full amount
of the appropriation asked has never
been granted.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishlng best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
Tie time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

The statements before the Assembly

the active war that is being waged be-
tween the Bell telephone company and
the independent lines has given an i'm
petus to the Barker bill to regulate the
rates Of the companies, an impetus that
could be gained in no other way. Mem
beers who listened TO the statements ON
both sides are satisfied that something
ought to be done in the way of at least
hxing maximum charge. The Donald
bill would fix minimum charge in that
1t seeks 10 prevent a company from
charging IS for its phones in one city
of certain class than it does in an
other. This is claimed TO be restrictive
Of competition and it is claimed 20 be a
violation of constitutional rights. The
independent companies want the rates
kept W to a figure where they can op-
crate at profit and to protect them
selves against the fierce competition of
the Bell company which gives away
phones rather than permit the indepen-
dents TO live. The Barker bill would
have a beneficial effect in that it would
make it impossible for the Bell company
to charge an exorbitant rate in one city.
The fact that it can regulate its own
charges and fixes high rates in cities
where there is no competition furnishes
the means the Independent companies
say, whereby it is able to give away
phones wherever there is competition.
Telephone companies. the Independents
say, are quasi public corporations be-
cause they operate for the benefit of the
company and they hold it is for the best
interests of the State TO protect them
against tive competition of the Bell COM
