eve don't care, it only has strengthened
our cause.
Ask # they believe the decision of the
supreme court of the state will declare
the La Toilette ticket the regular one
and again the reply is We don't care
what the court decides"
The stalwarts are Boosting already
that they h,,ve tip that the court will
decide in their favor.
'All right. If the courts, too, are
under the domination of these trust
lobby influences, let the people of the
state see it, " is the only comment of the
La Toilette men, The people know the
right and wrong of this contest and
no court decision can change their
minds now"
A CORPORATION FIGET
Gov. La Toilette has been criticised
for running for third term. He was
asked concerning this. All he would
say was that he did not consider his
work done. The governor started ont
to bring about three great reforms in
the state, which are summoned up as
follows The direct primary nomina-
ton law, the assessment of railroad
property as any other property and on
the same proportionate bases for taxa
ton, and the creation of state railroad
commission to fix freight rates for all
the railroads of the state and prevent
the system of rebates and discrimination
now in operation The primary law Is
as good as ratified. The railroad tax
law also is in effect, or win be as soon
as the best statisticians that can be EN-
ployed arrive at an equitable value of
the railroad property in the state. The
third and most effective reform remains
yet to be accomplished
Many of the governor friends urged
him to combine his commission freight
rate plan with his law to tax the rail
loads, but he wisely desisted. NO, he
said let us get ahead step by step.
He did not wish to invite more opposi-
ton than was necessary, or give the
lobbyists too good year at Madison.
But he held in his mind the determine
tion to follow up the taxation law with
the plan to fix rates and do away with
rebates
This is the real cause of the fight
against La Toilette. His defeat is neces-
sary to corporations in other states than
in Wisconsin. A triumph for this re-
form here would make a similar law
certain in every western state It is q
case of killing La Toilette and his state
organization, no matter what happens

we are going to nave this law on the
statute books, is the governors deter
mined, earnest assertion when this PHI, Sc

Cattle Bresdlnu.

Cattle breeding h not the easy
science that Il seem 10 be. Il Ii
fraught with problems that the strong
est minds have studied and have not
entirely settled, Among them are the
great questions OF ~in-breeding and
atayism. %In-breeding is one OF the
obstacles we place IN the way OF
atavism, that Is. The tendency OF ant
mails TO revert to the primeyal type.
This matter Of ~in-breedlng Is one that
must be handled in the most careful
manner, though It Is not as necessary
now as It was in the early days OF
the breeds. Then Il was used as a
meal Of securing continuance Of type
and the quality known as prepO-
tency.
Il Is an encouraging thing that our
agricultural colleges are making the
exhaustive study they are Of the sci.
ence Of breeding. Il is more C

Black and the reddish baby calf

calf is sometimes lined and combined
with white kid, but the black is all
smooth. glossy black, with not even a

Snake skin, too. should be recorded
