Bill - Assemblyman George e.

the Ginseng Root.

Assemblyman Thomas Roycroft OF
Chippewa will introduce a joint reso-
luton in the assembly Tuesday for an
inquiry into the subject OF county gov
eminent in Wisconsin, especially con
corning the advisability Of change
from the present system of board OF
supervisors to the county commission.
er system. His resolution will provide
for committee Of five to investigate
the subject during the interval be-
tween the present term Of the legisla,
ture and the next session. Three of
the five. members are 10 be assembly
men appointed by the speaker and two
to be senators appointed by the presl
dent of the senate.
Mr.. Roycroft says that the county OF
Dane has GO members on it's board OF
supervisors, while the county of Mi.
waukee, the largest in the state, has
only AZ members. This condition OF
affairs prevails throughout the entire
state, and population apparently cuts
no figure in the number of supervisors.
Mr.. Roycroft thinks the commissioner
system will be uniform and give better
results to the people.
Working on Grain Bill.
The first hearing on the Superior
grain inspection bill will be held Tues
day afternoon. The representatives
of the Minnesota interests are already
on the ground preparing their case in
the Wisconsin legislative library. Two
years ago the grain bin was very bit
terly fought and a powerful lobby Will
undoubtedly carry on the contest again
this year.
To Preserve Ginseng.
A bill to prevent the determination
of ginseng will be introduced in the
legislature Monday by George E.
Scott. 1t prohibits the gathering OF
the root from January 10 to September
10. Fifty years ago Wisconsin fur
nished large quantities OF ginseng,
which was shipped to China, where IL
is regarded as cure-all. The indus
try fell into desuetude, but has again
been developed the past few years.

Indeed. it may be said that the very
worst aspect of the Equitable affair
does not indicate the 81 'ghtest risk OF
the failure Of that company to meet all
Of it's obligations TO It's policy holders
fully and promptly.
That the misuse of the funds of a

might entail its bankruptcy Is true,
that extravaganza might result in max

waste or misuse Of funds sufficient tc

And. since the worst force of the in
surance cyclone has now spent itself
the very fact that il happened will tend
toward additional caution on the part
of company managers; and efficient
safeguards will be thrown around the
business until no possibility Of defraud
