Fiscal Head for University.

Plans are being discussed among
members Of the legislature which may
ultimately result in a change In the
management of the fiscal affairs OF the
University Of Wisconsin, many belieV-
ing that the present system, that OF
perfunctory control exercised by
board of regents, is inadequate and in
efficient, both TO the institution and as
subscribing the best interests OF the
state The plan most in favor is TO Sc
grcgate the Institutional or purely ed
vocational side Of the university from
the business or administrative side and
as much as possible relieve the pTesi-
dent from burdens constantly increas-
ing. OF a purely business character.
Up TO this time there has been more
desultory talk about university affairs
than is usually to be found thus early
in the session. Members state that
there is need Of practical plan which
will take from the president the ne
cesslty of financial responsibility and
place its business management In the
hands Of a paid board or commission,
the duty of which shall be to run the
business affairs of the university This
plan, as claimed by the promoters,
Will place the president in a position
whore he can devote all his time and
attention TO educational matters.

Wisconsin River Development

The plan of the Wisconsin River De

pearance In the form of a bill intro
duced by Senator Marsh, OF Clark
county, and which empowers the con
struction of reservoirs, dams and stor'
age basins in the territory adjacent to
the headwaters of the Wisconsin river.
1t is legislation framed after the plan
evidenced in the Wipperman bill in
troduced last session, but which failed
to pass. 1t is claimed by the trainers
OF the present bill that ali the o6jec-
tons to the former measure have
been met and that practically all the
river interests, as well as the inter

section of the state, have been fully

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The immigration During 1905 Was
$4,000.

While 1t is we'll to heed every
word Of caution from the leaders in
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack
solid business foundation, 1t Is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era OF
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
THE Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty Of money, and our lead
Ing financial institutions are In po-
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises Of Canada are not buoyed up
by an era of dangerous speculation.
but are following substantial bust
ness methods and finding safe anc
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
whole, and ultimately lead TO col
lapse through the failure of the arti.
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro.
lection in Canada such as would ere
ate great fortunes for few at the
expense of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tiicial foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion Of
trade and industry, with proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
Gus settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for 1t
is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop a far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by judicious pol
icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dation of our prosperity, is expanding
Win CHCAs hCN expenditure OIl
way construction. We are not In
the flush of railway mania that
could bring its punishment through
the useless duplication Of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
In Canada will create a new Domin-
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens Of debt now freely assumed.
Canada's era of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there Is no sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at its rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands of
| Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
| calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition Of PIC 900 to
It's population OF this the United
| States contributed 63,7S1. The agents
Of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely in
| creased during 1907.
