COUNTY JUDGES
WANT MANY LAWS,
Plans to Make Probate Work Through
out the State More Uni
form.

KENOSlIA, Wis, Jan. 81 Special
County judges in the First Wisconsin
district have received from the LeGisla-
tive committee of the Wisconsin asSoci-
alton of county judges copies of the bills
to be presented at the coming session of
the Legislature. The committee will
recommend about forty new laws and
amendments to make the probate work
in the different counties of the state
more uniform. Many of the old trou-
bles of the probate court are to be done
away with and errors that have been
in the laws for years will be eliminated
The most interesting portion of the re-
port is two laws proposed in supple
,ment to the report. These laws relate
to the salaries Of county judges and the
terms of office. The first law provides
that the salaries of the county judges in
the different counties of the state shall
be fixed according to the population of
the counties and the amount of work re-
CURED by the courts. To this end the
law provides that the compensation shall
be fixed by state law as follows; \
county judge to receive 500 for the FIRST
thousand of population in the county,
and an additional $50 for each additional
Thousand of population up to torty-nine
Thousand, when the compensation shall
increase at the rate Of $50 for each thrrC
Thousand people. This salary shall be
in lieu of all fees formerly paid to the
county judges 1t is made condition
of the law that in no case shall the sal
airy of the county Nudge be greater than
that paid to the circuit Judge in the dis
itrict. The law would iN the salary of
the register Of probate at $500. and al
lowing him additional fees for his work
/ The section in regard t. the terms Of
office provides that beginning with the
elections in 1909 the judges shall be
chosen for a term of six instead of -four
years. 1t is understood that the state
association of county judges will make
every effort to secure the passage Of the
laws proposed by the committee The
Judges will meet in Milwaukee on Jan.
Iuary 10, to consider this proposed leCis
Ilation and make plans to urge the pas

TRY FOR GOAL TO GO?
Football Rulers Nay Make Impor-
tant Change Neat Season.

There is a strong possibility that next season
NAV see an important change in football scoring
methods The practice of making goal from
the field equal In value to a touchdown was
changed some seasons ago, and at least one
Influential and important member OF the foot
ball rules committee is IN favor Of abolishing
the extra point allowed when goal is kicked
from placement after a touchdown. This man.
who was a member of the old rules committee
before the reformation of the game in 1905,
thinks that the difficulty of kicking this goal is
not by any means One-ffth as great as that of
scoring a touchdown, and that there Is no real
reason for continuing to award point for such
goals.
1t Is thought by good many persons that
there is so little difficulty in kicking this goal
that many games simply delayed by the
time taken to punt out and make the kick. OF
course many goals are missed, but it is not
often that a critical game is decided by the
scoring or failure in scoring a single point.
Probably the last case OF the kind was IN the
Pennsylvania Cornell game in 1908. when the
score was IL to IL, and there is a good deal of
reasonable argument permissible to whether
game should hinge on such point 1t is often
the case. when goal is missed. that sudden
puff Of wind had more to do with the direction
Of the kick than the players foot. and luck may
well. In such a case. decide an important con-
test
