picture of suffering. After ealing at

This is the worst famine Russia

Funds will be needed to the end OF
July to feed all these millions, and
then the harvest will bring relief, but
there are many hundreds of thousands
to whom the harvest Will not bring re-
lief for they have neither land nor
cattle. The few cows that are in ex-
istence are in such a pitiful condition
themselves that they are useless for
milking purposes. The result is that

coming of young women and girls

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

Madison, April 16.-TaB voters of
WISCONSIN will have an opportunity
to declare whether or nGt they want
the constitution changed to allow the
legislature to appropriate money for
the building of highways. After a
Sphhted debate the senate adopted the
Browne resolution for submission of
this proposed Constitutional amend
ment. The vote was q to 4, both for
the adoption of the substitute and for
the adoption of the resolution as
amended. The opposition came
from Senators Burns, Hrssang, Smith,
Whitehead and Wolff. Senator Burns
voted for the amendment bat was in
opposition on final passage. Senator
Whitehead opposed the substitute, hut
swung into the affirmative after irae
first vote demonstrated that oppo@-
ton WAS useless.
Speaking in favor of the good roads
resolution Senator Browne mentioned
a large number of organizations
which had declared in favor of state
aid for the building of public high
ways. He reviewed Che large number
of petitions signed By thousands Of
citizens and declared from the testf.
H0ny OF the state geological and nat
ara history survey and other author-
tiles that the only effective way of
getting permanent public highways
built WAS by system of state aid,
which involved an amendment of the
constitution. He declared that the
farmers of the state are annually
spending some 100000 and that
large part of the money is wasted
because it is expended by people who
have no knowledge OF road building
and the work is not of a permanent
character. Senator Browne also re-
marked upon the fact that while the
petitions favorable to the. measure
were numerous and signed by people
from all walks of life and residing in
all parts of the state. there had not
been received a single remonstance.
Senator Husting said that all recog-
nized the need and desirability of hay-
ing better and more permanent high
ways, but that it was matter for
county supervision and support and
not for the state to undertake this
great and hazardous burden.
