the average foreign laborer because
he is better educated and can &C
complish better results in shorter
time. He completes with the world to-
day because there is nothing to
prevent foreign labor from coming
here and what he manufactures is sold
abroad in competition with that same
labor. Labor asks no largesse of the
state. 1t wants but freedom OF Oppor-
tunity to have and to enjoy and to
exchange the products of its handi-
craft The protective tariff cannot be
for the benefit of the workingman.
Then for whose benefit is it? There is
a tariff of $50 per cent on oil for the
benefit of the Standard-Oil, company,
although this same company sells its
oil all over the world and for less
than it is sold here. We tax hides to
hamper the shoe and leather industry,
and pay higher prices for our shoes
for the benefit Of the beef trust. We
tax steel rails and obstruct the de-
velopment Of our transportation ia
cilities for the benefit of the steel
trust. We tax wood pulp and hamper
the printing business by the increase
in the cost of paper for the benefit OF
the paper trust. AS if to add insult
to injury, these trusts in almost every
instance sell their products for less
in foreign countries than at home.
The same article the American trust
sell in England for five dollars is sold
in America for five dollars plus the
tariff. The injustice Of the present
tariff schedule is so apparent that a
general demand has been brought
about for tariff revision. There are
some who take the position that while
they favor revision they think it
should not be done until the people as
a whole want it. The man who says
that he is in favor of doing right
when everyone believes in the right
can never carry out his good inten-
tiOnS for Che time will never come
when all men will be of one mind as
to what is right. If the protective
tariff as now arranged is an injustice
it cannot be corrected too speedily
and any pOstpOnement of the remedy
is unfair to the people. The sugges-
ton that the tariff should be revised
by it's friends is in line with the re-
quest of the highwayman that he be
tried by jury of his peers, which he
insisted meant jury composed of
men of his own calling. If this OPP
pressive system that taxes the people
without their consent and usually
without their knowledge, is ever to be
remedied it must be done, not by
those who think it is right, but by
those who know it is wrong and who
hate monopoly"

THE UNIVERSITY COURSES IN
DAIRYING.
Year Opens Nov. 6-Advance Reg
istratiOn 25 Per Cent More
Than Last Year.

Than Last Year.
The dairy school at the University
of Wisconsin Agricultural College
will open Nov. 8, and the advance
registration indicates that the attend
ance will be the largest in the history
of the school, as it is already % per
cent more than the registration at this
time a year ago. 1t is anticipated
that there will be 100 or ITO students
in the department, taxing the capacity
of the dairy buildings to their utmost.
This is the first year for the dairy
school under Dean H. L. Russell, who
succeeded Dean w. A. Henry last
spring, and there have also been nine
other changes in the faculty of the
school. A new course of instruction
in the various methods of determining
the water in butter at creameries has
been added to the curriculum, and the
laboratories have been fully equipped
for this purpose. Students will be
given opportunity to use the different
methods so that they can make deter
limitations of water content in butter
at their factories. Other courses of
instruction include the manufacture OF
Swiss, brick, and limburger cheese,
the operation Of all kinds of dairy
machinery, milk testing, milk inspec-
ton, laboratory work in farm separa-
tors g starters, and pasteurizattOn of

FOR A SPIRIT OF FRATERNAL
DEMOCRACY.

President Van Hise delivered a very
good message to the underclassmen
of the University of Wisconsin at the
first convocation for this year. He
invoked the spirit of true democracy;
and exalted faithful, honest work and
the manly, Independent spirit which it
promotes. He said in part:
cit can certainly be predicted that
twenty-five years hence a larger per
centage of those students who are now
waiting on table and tending furnaces
in order to obtain a college education
will occupy positions Of dignity and
trust than those who consider them
selves the aristocracy Of the univer-
sity. Efforts necessary to gain liVIl-
hood while pursuing a college course
develop the energy and resOurcetuI-
ness essential to success in life.
While the more fortunate financially
are the more conspicuous, the less
conspicuous nine-tenths of the stud
ents are the real university, for they
are the ones who are steadily doing
their assigned tasks, and are prepar-
ing themselves for useful careers.
BE not mistaken on this point. The
man for you to emulate is not the man
who is leader in social affairs, but
the man who is leader in his class
work. in the debating society, in the
various student enterprises which
advance the interests of the uniVer-
sity as a whole.
"Tbe university authorities rccog-
nize no difference between the student
who is earning his own livelihood and
the one who comes here with ample
funds. 1t is my hope, however, that
fraternal democracy may be main
tanned throughout the university. AT
this time therefore [ wish to appeal to
the older students and to those who
are in better circumstances to do
everything possible to make easier
the struggle of the less fortunate. If
you will utilize this opportunity by
becoming acquainted with those who
do not have friends, who do not have
money; if you assist in making the
lives of others pleasant, you will be
performing a great service to the uni
Versity and to the state. The line Of
cleavage which sometimes appears
between the more fortunate and the
less fortunate will disappear, and the
feelings between the different groups
will not be those of enemies on the
one side and semi-contempt on the
other, but rather mutual respect
These efforts toward maintaining fra
ternal relations will 60 far toward
developing those qualities of leader
ship essential for the highest sue
cess"

TARIFF WRONGS SHOULD BE
RIGHTED.

Governor Joseph w. Folk discusses
the tariff question just as it ought to
be discussed. He treats it as a great
moral question, - a question of right
and wrong; and he would fight the
great graft Of monopoly tariff taxa
tion as he would fight all other forms
of graft,-withoutc compromise. And it
is appearing more plainly every day
that this is only way that relief will
ever be secured from the burdens ONE
taxes which in the name of protection
are imposed for special privileges
only.
At Nashville, the other day, Gov.
Folk said:
"A monopoly tariff is not necessary
to protect the American workingman
was never intended to do so, and has
never had that result. 1t is self-evi-
dent that if a tariff equal to the diff
ference between the cost of labor in
this country and abroad is necessary
TO keep wages or American laDOrefS
on their present basis, then American
made goods could not compete with
European goods, for as the American
labOrer receives more the American
products could not be sold at the
same prices as those made by cheaper
European labor.
"WhaJ are the facts? All the great
factories Of America now sell in COM
petition with the entire world abroad.
The handiwork of the more skilled
and better paid American laborer is
now sold abroad in competition with
the lesser paiu European laborer with
out decreasing in the least degree the
wages of the American laborer. The
law of supply and demand regulates
the price of labor. The average
American labOrer is worth more than

APPEAL FROM KANSAS COURT
Western Union and Pullman Com.
panies Object to Taxes.
Refusal Results in Stopping of Bust
ness by SunnOver State-Su-
Dreme Court to Decide.

Appeals have been fled in the Supreme
Curt by he Pullman Company. and the
Western Union Telegraph Company from
the decisions of the Kansas Supreme
Court ousting those companies from that
State, so far as domestic business is con-
cerned.
Interstate business is not interfered vth
in any way by the decree of custer, as
that would be beyond the power of the
State, but the telegraph company is en-
Joined from transmitting kilograms be-
tween any two points wholly within the
Sunfower State, and the Pullman Com
pany from collecting compensation Tor
berths or seats for purely local traffic
It's dining car service. however, was not
included in the prohibition.
The proceedings were brought by the
attorney general of Kansas. under what
Is known as the Bush law, which imposes
upon foreign corporations a charter-tax
based on their capital stock for the privi-
legged Of transacting domestic business in
the State for a period of twenty years. in
default Of which, they were to be denied
to privilege. Both companies declined TO
pay the tax assessed, and the proceedings
followed.
In the case of the Western Union the
tax was S20100. its capital stock being
a00000o0 while the Pullman Company
was assessed Sl4.s00 on a capital OF S74.-
100000. The contentious made by the two
companies. in the main are similar-that
the tax is a burden on interstate COM
merce and that It is discriminatory in tax
ing their capital stocks used il States
other than Kansas. because II each State
imposed like tax for the privilege Of
doing business therein, the stock would be
taxed forty-five times.
The telegraph company also asserts that
without the receipts from domestic bust
ness. none of its SEQ or 900 Offices In Kan
sas would pay expenses, and the result
Of closing them would be to place restric-
tions on interstate business.
The Pullman company has an additional
claim against the validity of the tax. in
that it violates the obligations Of its con
tracts with the railroads Of Kansas 10

vices.
