The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-03-01

THE fees that have been paid out to
private attorneys by the state of Wiscon-
sin during Governor LaFOllette's term
of office seem exOrbitant and no doubt
are. The hiring of Lenroot in the adva-
loren tax case is matter that always
perplexed US when trying to solve it on
the theroy that public necessity demand
ed his retention 10 those cases 1t always
occurred to us as being a very poor in
vestment to keep high priced lawyer
in Washington just to see that we got all
the public lands we were entitled to, or
that the federal government liquidated
its war obligations to our state. 1t is
such wastefulness OF public moneys that
breeds opposition to taxes, and that
makes men groan when called upon to
bear their share of public burdens. But
recurring to the matter Of lawyers fees
which have become alarmingly large in
recent years, and no inconsiderable part
of miscellaneous state burdens, it is
reasonably certain that these fees are
largely based upon the wealth of the
client and not upon the earning power
of those who receive them. The legis
lature ought to do something to curb
the license that has been given state
officers IN the matter or hiring lawyers.
rudge Comstock's sinecure should be
abolished-the Dairy and Food Com
missioner's lawyer should be legislated
out Of office, and reasonable limits put
upon the hiring of private lawyers by
any state officers. The best limit is one
that compels the state officer to make
contract for legal services in which the
compensation shall be agreed upon. If
this is done, there will be no chance for
exorbitant charges Stoughton Courier.

The census bulletin relative to the
manufacture of dairy products shows
that the cost of cream increased 24.79
per cent and milk 81 since 1900. The sta
tistics are gathered at concerns manu-
featuring cheese, butter and condensed
milk. The number of factories has de-
creased because of the absorption OF
smaller plants and the use of hand sep
arators by farmers. In other words, this
important business is fast passing into
the hands of The much hated trust.

SUNDAY WORK ON THE DOCKS.

1t Is hard to understand why the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company in
sists upon forcing its men to work
Sundays, when it has not enough
work to keep them busy on full time
through the week. 1t seems strange
that when work is so slack that the
men work only few hours each day
that they should be compelled to re-
port for duty as usual Sunday morn.
ing. 1t would appear that the men
might work full time ON Saturday or
Monday, or both, and have Sunday
for day of rest as it is intended
to be.
The railroad may have its reason
for this seemingly unjust ruling

Few voices can withstand bad

years of study depends the length of
the career. How many students have

altogether, for some have turned up
again as professors! A student should

THE SCHOOL BOARD FIGHT.

AS was greatly tosbe feared at. the
outset, the school board is carrying
the fight between its members into
all features of school work and its
disastrous results are beginning to be
felt. The fight began over the cleo
tion of a secretary and, as whip to
bring one faction or the other into
line, other features have been drawn
in until the strife now seems to show
itself In every action the commission
ers take.
The board is divided with Presi-
dent Crowell, Commissioners Peter
son and Arner on one side and Com
missioners Bradley, Moore and Stack
on the other. The Crowell faction
want former Commissioner Walker
for secretary of the board and the
Bradley men are backing Charles F.
Moore. On one pretext or another,
President Crowell has refused to
appoint the committees, evidently
trying to bring the opposition into
line by his tactics. In the meantime
the board is supposed to be acting as
a committee of the whole.
The Bradley-Moore-Stack faction,
however, claim that they are not TAX
en- into the confidence of the others;
that everything is cut and dried with
out they being parties in the discus
sion so that the Crowell men carry
on affairs as they please. To meet
this move, it appears, the Bradley
men have decided that, as long as
everything Is to be done as a commit
tee of the whole, the whole board
will be present, as far as they are
concerned, or there will be nothing
done at all. To this end, so It seems,
the Bradley men have agreed that
when one of their number cannot at
tend a meeting none of them will,
thus preventing a quorum being pres
ent
So the fight goes merrily on and
the schools are bound to suffer as a
result If the commissioners are
deadlocked on the secretaryship, and
If that question is the root of the
whole affair, why not drop both the
present candidates, Walker and
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-03-05

Moore, and select some one upon
whom all can agree? Surely there
must be other men In the city besides
the two already mentioned who are
capable of being secretary of the
board Then let President Crowell
name his committees, having the best
interests of the city in mind and not
the welfare of any clique OF faction.
Cut out this petty quarreling, gen.
tlemen, and get down to work. The
people are heartily sick of the pres
ent method of doing business.
