Boys Must Give up Weed.

Madison, March. The bill Of
Joseph Domachowski, the lone
Democratic from Milwaukee county,
prohibiting boys under sixteen
years of aye from smoking or using
tobacco in any form in any public
p ace, passed the assembly this
morning. The author of the bill is
a saloon kec per.
Mr.. Domachowski's bill reads
Every person under the age of 16
years, who shall smoke or use
cigarettes, cigars or tobacco on any
public road, street, alley or park,
or any other lands used for public
purposes. or in any public place OF
business or amusement, shall be
punished by fine Of not more than
so or by Imprisonment for not en-
ceeding thirty days.
O"Any person who shall permit any
person under the age of sixteen
years to use cigarettes, cigars or
tobacco in any form in or upon pre-
misses occupied by him. shall be
punished for the first offence by
fine of not more than $25, and fol
any subsequent offense by fine o.
not exceeding $50 or by imprison
ment for a period not exceeding
thirty days
Mr.. Reynolds tried to get in q
subs titute making anyone liable to
the same penalties if cigarette
papers were found in his possession
but Mr.. Mckenzie said this might
work hardship on innocent mer
chants. The amendment was de
feated and the bill passed unani
mously under suspension of the
rules.

Mister Editor:

Mister Editor:
1 have read most all the pieces
you have printed about this new
lighting plant it is purposed to
build here, and it looks to me as
if we need some information be-
fore We can tell much about it.
Now what [ would like to know
and what it looks to me that we
all must know in order to Judge
of this matter is whether the
horse power at the Sioux River
estimated by the experts to give
$50 for "A hours and 800 for II
hours, will be enough for US.
Can you tell us what the present
company uses on it's full power,
l mean when all the lights are
on? Then [ notice the experts
tell US in figuring on the money
to be made in the deal that 10
cents is a reasonable rate. How
does that compare with the price
we are paying? Then again car
you tell US what the capital
stock of the present company is
as we ought to compare their ca
p;tal stock with our proposed in
vestment in order to know if the
business will pay or not. Then
can you tell US what the $4,000
is going to do. Will it connect
every house now connected or
will there be a lot more expense
after we get that bowed in. l
own up I need information. Now
[ understand that over in Ash
land they got possession of their
water power for One Dollar and
that they have 600 horse power.
Why does ours cost us $4,000?
Then Mayor Williams has told
them he will complete their
plant for $4,000. How is it ours
is to cost $4,000?
Please to answer these ques-
tions. A BUSINESS MAN.

NO HASTE ON FINANCE
Committee Not to Recommend
LEGISLATION by This Congress.

Washington, Dec. lit be said on the
highest authority that II the subcommittee Of
the House Committee on Banking and Currency
now dealing with the subject can have its way,
no effort will be made by the present Congress
TO adopt legislation to remedy the present finan-
ciaI condition. All the energies Of that COM
mittee will be directed toward the framing and
passage of laws more general in character anu
intended to prevent shrinkage of the circulation
Assurance of elasticity by the adoption OF a
credit currency system may be recommended. or
some different measure toward the same end
may eventually be decided upon; but in any
event no legislation will be suggested by the
committee for the correction of present condi-
tions.
The subcommittee held conference for four
hours to day with its chairman. Representative
Fowler. OF New Jersey. at which the bill which
the sub committee has undertaken TO draft was
earnestly discussed. but no decision as to its
precise character and scope was reached IL Is
not likely that the subcommittee will be ready
TO report on the bill until after the holidays
Then the main committee will spend consider
able time examining the BILL perhaps tosrevise
or amend it. Men high in the world of finance
will be given an opportunity to appear before
the committee to present their views on the
proposed measure. Much time will be spent in
both the House and Senate in considering the
bill when reported and it is the hope of the
members of the Banking Committee that the
finances of the country will have adjusted
themselves by that time that there will be no
necessity for legislation looking to the correction
of present conditions.
Congress. realizing the seriousness of the
step proposed, does not mean to rush any hnan-
cial measure on to the statute books" said a
member of the committee to-day. ''The present
disturbed condition must remedy itself aud may
be expected to DO so within a reasonable time:
it is for Congress To legislate a&ay the HkeIi-
hood or the possibility of occurrences in the
future"
