ARGUE ON TITUS STATE JOB.
Attorney General Gilbert Wants 1t
Exempted From Civil Service.

Attorney General Gilbert Wants IL
Exempted From Civil Service.
The state civil service commission
last week held hearing on the appli-
cation of Attorney General Gilbert for
the exemption of the position of the
first assistant attorney general from
the classified or competitive list. The
position is held by Attorney A. c.
Titus of Superior and carries salary
of $4,000. The legislature at its recent
session passed a law increasing the
number of assistants in the attorney
generals department from three to
four and, in the opinion of the civil
service commission, putting the posi-
ton held by Mr.. Titus under the civil
service. Attorney General Gilbert ar
gued that the position could best be
filled by the attorney general without
the restrictions that would be imposed
by placing it under civil service, and
he presented letters from Circuit
Judge James ONeil of Neillsville,
Senator w. G. Owen of Maiden Rock
and Attorney Burr w, Jones of Madi-
son supporting his assertions. Attor-
ney Glenway Maxon of Milwaukee ar
gued against exempting the position,
saying that such action would tend to
weaken the civil service law. The
commission took the matter under
consideration.

st. Paul, Sept II. = Valuation of
the mining properties of the state
for purposes of taxation has been
increased $50 to 200 per cent in the
report that will be presented by the
tax commission to the state board
of equalization. The aggregate as.
sessed valuation of mines in the state
for last year was $70,0O0,000, and the
figures. as they will be reported by the
tax commission to the equalization
board will amount in the aggregate
10 about s2OO,O00,0 900. Accurate fig
ures of the report OF the commits
sion are not Obtainable as yet, because
the clerical work on the schedules has
not been completed, but the work will
be turned over to the state board OF
equalization to-day.
Although the assessments on mining
properties in the aggregate have been
more than doubled, the final figures of
the tax commission have been greatly
reduced as a result OF the argument
and evidence presented by the mining
cOmDanies at the hearing recently.
The commission has classified all of
the mines of the state definitely and
has fixed rates for the different classi-
ficati0ns After the meeting with the
mine owners it was deemed advisable

NEW ELEVATOR AT SUPERIOR.
500 Line to Settle Grain inspection
War at Head of Lakes.

500 Line to Settle Grain inspection
War at Head of Lakes.
1t has been definitely learned that
the 500 road intends to erect large
terminal elevator at Superior This
fact was divulged in the fight between
it and the Great Northern before the
rate commission at Madison the first
of last week. The officials of the 500
at that hearing announced that the
road has already secured a site and
will erect an elevator of several mil
lion bushels capacity. The site is 900
feet VIDE and is one of the best pieces
of dock property in Superior. BY
many it is thought that this will end
the big fight between the Superior and
Duluth grain interests, as the 500
has intimated that it will make no dis
examinations in handling grain, and
this will give the Superior men
chance to do business and under the
Wisconsin inspection law. Commit
tees from the Dakota grain men have
had several conferences the with 500
officials and they have repeatedly been
promised that they and their interests
will be we'll taken care of when the
500 gets into Superior.

TERMINAL FIGHT is WARM.

Great Northern objects to 500 Secur'
ing Right of Way in SUPERIOR
The fight between the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railways on
the one side and the recently incorpo-
rated Wisconsin & Northern Minneso-
ia company, subsidiary branch OF
the 500 line, over the right of way
into Superior is becoming interesting
in view CT the fact that all parties to
the controversy appear to be deter
mined TO fight the matter to finish.
The whole question seems TO nlnge
upon whether or not necessity can be
shown By the 500 and Wisconsin Cen
trail for the building of their own ter
minals in that city. The Great North
ern controls the present terminal COM
pany and they affirm that the accom-
mediation afforded is sufficient and
that the building of other tracks on
the already congested line of docks
will seriously hamper traffic and make
confusion worse confOunded. The
comDanv also states that the right OF
way acquired by the 500 south Of SUI
perior will interfere and hamper it in
the conduct of it's great ore yards. 1t
also protests against the building Of
the tracks of the new Interstate
Transfer railway, Steel corporation
venture, on similar grounds.

son and Engineer w. d. Pence are in

effort to fathom the matter.-W.

The State Day by Day
RELIGIOUS ACTIVITY AT AZ y
Four Special Pastors to Begin Work
Soon at State University.

soon at state University.
Although religious or sectarian. in.
struction of any kind cannot be car
ried on in the University of Wiscon-
sin under the university auspices,
since it is state institution, support
ed by public funds, still this does not
argue any lack of religious influence.
Though the university authorities IA
vOr and encourage religious life
among the students, the institution
cannot allow religious teaching any
place on it's official program. There
are even specific sectarian forces
brought to bear from five different
churches and by student departments
of work within those churches. The
Baptist. Presbyterian, Congregational
and Catholic churches have young men
already at work as university pastors.
and the Episcopalians of the diocese
have appointed a committee to consid-
er a similar appointment and to plan
work among the Episcopalians Of the
student body.
This movement toward the estab-
lishment of definitely religious tenden-
cies within the academic environs is
not the result of any discovery of a
specific wickedness of the students or
of the influences surrounding them in
the university. On the contrary, sta
tistics compiled by Wisconsin pro
fessor recently show that 60 per cent
of the students in the state universe
ties of the Middle West are church
members and 70 per cent consider
themselves church adherents. The
tendency is toward an increase rather
than a decline in church membership
among university students. The
Young Mems and Young Women's
Christian associations are material
factors in this increase.
