COMPETITION SUPPRESSED.

The report OF the special attorneys
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion recommends that the Attorney.
General Of the United States take &C.
toin to annul the contract between
the Union Pacific and Rock Island
railroads for the control OF the Chi.
cago and Alton railroad, which was
virtually wrecked by the Hartman
syndicate. The most startling an.
nouncement IN this report IS that
railroad competition has been sup
pressed IN an area equal TO one-third
OF the United States;r and that the
profits OF the great railroads Of the
Far West are being used 70 buy
stocks and control systems IN the
Last, instead of building more roads
for the development Of the West"
Yet after this exposure Of the deals
Of Hartman and other railroad mag
mates they are indignant that the
Legislatures Of the States included In
the area equal 20 one-third Of the
United States" should legislate 10
compel railroad CORPORATIONS TO
charge reasonable rates instead Of
extracting vast sums from the public
to buy the stocks Of Eastern railroads.
The fact that the Acknowledgement Of
the United States needs prodding to
protect the public interests shows that
the chief reliance Of the pldndered
people must be through their own
direct representatives In their State
Legislatures. rather than the prooras-
tinating action Of Federal officials.
Those good Democratic doctrines OF
State Rights and Home Rule are
much more effective than all the
bOasted strenuousneas Of the present
administration. To guard those State
rights from the encroacbment Of Ped
eral power by preserving all reserved
rights not granted BY the constitution

only way for the people to secure re-
dress Of wrongs and preserve their
liberty. Not a railroad n charging

The First Gas Tubes.

William Murdoch, a Scottish mining
engineer employed in the Redruth
mines, Cornwall, appears to have been
the first to suggest that gas might be
conveyed in tubes and used instead Of
lamps and candles. He made a very
ingenious gas lantern for himself, with
which he used to light his way over
the Cornish moors at night. This Ian
tern consisted of bag filled with gas
and fitted with a tube. at the end OF
which the gas could be lighted. Carry
ing the bag under his arm, Murdoch
used to light his way home at night.
On meeting any one it is said that he
would give the bag a squeeze and thus
send out a long tongue of flame. This
led to his being looked upon as the
demon of the Cornish mOors.- =

Railroad Measures.

Many measures affecting railroads
still remain to be considered, including
the two-cent bills, on which hearings
will be held this week. Last week tha
senate acted favorably on two i'm
portant measures. One was the Eud-
nell bill, providing that parallel OF
duplicate railroad or interurban lines
could not be made without the conse ut
of the rate commission. It pacti> d ly
prohibits the duplication Of public
utilities. The other was the co-en,
ployes and comparative negligence bill
on which there had been furious con-
test by tbs railroads. II takes away
as ground of defense the comparative
negligence of other employees and

an aggregate of sixteen hours on duty
in every twenty-four hours. The orig

[Representati> e from jackson County,
and a number of other big measures
received action in one form or an
other at the hands of one or both Of
the two houses.
Of course the greatest interest at
taches to the public utility bill. While
a whole lot of argument was directed
| against lit by a strong array of law.
yers and experts representing special
interests, the changes made in the bill
are comparatively insignificant and
have chiefly to do with its phraseology,
making clear certain points that were
in dispute. On the question of wheth-
er the public utility should lear the
cost of valuation, sort of compro-
mise was reached, the state bearing
the expense, except in cases where the
utility is found to be in the wrong.
Opposition Brings Concessions.
Those utilities against which COM
plants are made will be valued first,
but others will be taken up by experts
as time goes on. The strenuous OPP
position made against the bill by the
independent telephone companies re-
suited in some concessions being made
to them. They are excluded from
three provisions of the bill: that which
gave the rate commission power to
prevent duplication OF plants where
unnecessary; thatregarding franchises,
as the telephone companies have no
franchises, and that providing for
municipal purchase.
a uniform system of accounting Is
prescribed for all public utilities.
There can be no keeping of double
set Of books, such as the gas COM
panies wish on the grounds that they
were but parts of a syndicate which
had it's own system. 1t is probable
that the bill will still be contested by.
the telephone companies on the floors
of the two houses as many members
in each house doubtless own stock in
telephone companies. The Democrats
and Social Democrats may also make
a fight for municipal regulation as
against state regulation, but their OBJ
jections will be swept aside by the
dominant party. The Democrats prom.
Use to make an issue on this question
in the next campaign.

To Shorten the Session.

Assemblyman Roethe's resolution to
has not yet been acted upon, but IS not
likely to be taken seriously except as
an expression OF the spirit of protest
against long drawn out sessions. 1t
is causing not little discuss on and
will receive some support. It is
pointed out that too much is coming
to be expected of legislators anG that
only well-to-do patriots can ssr o-'sly
consider the proposition of wo.6ing
six months for $500. This o. &c .on
will be met, however, if the next leSls-
lature and the people pass fayoral ~
on the proposed constitutional am nd
ment increasing the salaries O. le2isla-
tors to $1,000. Objection to long ses-
sionS is made on the ground Of eX-
pense to ! le state, yet it is question
if short sessions would not cost the
state more and be of more injury than
long ones
Important legislation requires much
time and opponents OF the short ses-
sion idea show that twas only through
long session that the railway COM
mission bill became a law two years
ago. If there had been time limit
OH the legislature. they say, this valU-
able piece of our enactments would noI
have been upon the statute books. III
similar vein they urge that had thee
been a limit on this years session only
an imperfect and inadequate. perhaps
unconstitutional. public utilities BIZ
would have resulted.
New Capitol Building.
That Wisconsin will have a grand
new StatehOuSe in the course of half
dozen years or more seems assured.
The senate has passed the bill appro-
priating 100000 year for nine years
to meet the expenses of construction,
and the assembly will not oppose the
proposition. Work on the construction
of the main walls of the west wing,
for which the foundation is already in,
will begin about July /. The struc-
ture will be of Bethel vermont gran
tie. Secretary Porter of the capitol
building commission says it is expect
ed that by the end of the year the
wing will be enclosed so that inside
work can be carried Onin cold weather.
From the foundation walls to the top
of the fourth story will be about 50
feet. The Bethel quarry company is
working hard to meet this new de-
mand and expects to have it's first
consignment ready for shipment in
about month. The contract calls for
having the wing enclosed by the end
of the year. It is expected eight years
will be consumed in the construction
will be required to complete the in
terror decorations.

AS to Apportionment.


But little has been said or heard of
the question of apportiOnment but the
subject is one that is causing the
standing committee some concern
now. 1t is generally thought there will
not be much recasting of legislative
districts, but there will be some pull
ing and hauling on the part of mem
bers to shape up districts agreeable to
them. Some will want their districts
left intact; others will want to reach
over into some other mans preserves
for a slice to make his own more Re-
publican or Democratic, as the case
may be- AS there cannot be more
than thirty-three senate districts and
one hundred assembly districts, and as
the apportionment is made on the
basis of population the southern cOun-
ties will suffer at the profit Of the
more rapidly growing northern coun-
ties. Dane county, the second largest
in the state. will retain it's three as
semblymen but Rock county, which
also has three. will undoubtedly have
to forego one.
There is also much sentiment in the
present county board system to the
commissioner system. The board Sys-
tenn is an expensive and cumbersome
one. Thus Dane county again has SIX
ty-fOur members in its board, with
prospects of soon having over seventy,
a body approximating towards the
size of the assembly, and as each
member gets some $50 year the cost
makes no inconsiderable item. 1t is
urged that commission of three Or
five members would be more effect
i've and economical governing board.
Torrens Tranfer System.
The Torrens land transfer system
seems to have thorny road to travel
towards the Wisconsin statute books.
Session after session bills to establish
it have been introduced. only to be
voted down. and now the senate has
repeated history by killing the Ston-
dali bill providing for its establish
ment A resolution for an investiga-
ton of the land transfer practices in
the state is, however. to be acted upon
and may receive more consideration.
A bill of much interest to neWspa-
per publishers was the Thomas bill TO
reduce the rates to be allowed news
papers for the publication Of election
notices. So much opposition was ex-
pressed against such reduction that
Mr.. Thomas finally amended the bill
so as to retain the old rates, but pro-
viding that such notices shall not he
published more than four times, and
in this form the bill was advanced by
the assembly.
= Little Enjoyment This Session.
The session this year has been
marked by little levity or the enjoy
ment of the tighter sides OF life. There
was no Inaugural or legislative ball;
there have been no banguets or con-
certs such as were pleasant incidents
in past sessions. AS there are scarcely
any of the common old-style saloon
FOUNDERS among the members this
year, there is also noticeable absence
of the dandy and debonair type to pro-
mote the social amenities.
On the whole it is an honest. clear,
sturdy, plodding legislature, which
