The Dunn County News, which
deservedly occupies a place in the
front rank of county newspaper"
in Wisconsin, came out last week
under new dispensation," hav-
ing been purchased by THE Dunn
County News Company" with w.
r. Hotchkiss as manager. AS pub
Usher of the Barron Shield Mr..
Hotchkiss has become we'll and
favorab1y known in the northern
part of the State, and We bespeak
for him in his new field of effort a
continuance of the liberal patron
age enjoyed by the News under the
retiring management. The sale of
the paper seemed advisable because
of the death of F. F. Morgan, the
junior partner, and the appoint
ment of the senior partner, Rock

United States Marshal for the West

that time until the first of the pres
ent month. Mr.. Weber died in 1898.

THE STATE CONTEST.

The State declamatory contest
was held in Wausau last Friday eve
ming. Seven speakers took part,
one from each of the seven districts
in the state, and by the decision of
the judges River Falls drew fifth
place in the contest. To take part
in such contest is an honor, and
the local school need feel in no way
ashamed of the place it secured.
Everyone of the seven speakers had
won the right to speak by winning
three other contests, and most of
them came from schools where an
elocution teacher is hired and where
work in elocution is a regular part
of the course. Under such circum-
stances, a state contest comes to be
a contest of experts, and any posi-
ton in it is worthy of congratula-
ton. The contest last Friday was
one of exceptionally high character.
Every speaker in it was an expert.
The markings of the judges indi-
Gated that the first two stood above
the others somewhat, while the next
four were SO close together that any
one of them might have been third.
Miss Chapman, for River Falls, was
as good as ever, and the people here
know what that means. The judges
ranked her 8, 4, 4, 5, S, and her
final was S. The four speakers
from third to sixth were within four
points in the sums of their ranks,
SO close were the markings. The
judges were Hon. Brazean, Grand
Rapids; Chas. Hall, Madison; Prof.
Mitchell, Oshkosh; Miss Maude
Brewster, Amigo; and Prin. Brooks,
Tomahawk. The speakers and
their selections, in the order which
the judges gave them, were, /, Flor
ence Flynn, Superior, "Hagar;" 2,
Elizabeth Plants, Wausau, Madame
Butterfly" 8, Archie DeLand, Apple
ton, Gentlemen, the King" 4, Miss
Bishop, Dodgeville, "The Slow
Man." S, Ethel Chapman, River
Falls, "The Mystery of the Dale
Land" 6, Agnes Meyer, Sheboygan,
"Patsey;" 7, Grace Pearce, Delavan,
"The Little Stowaway."

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court,
last Saturday, handed down one of
the most important decisions that
it has ever rendered. The case
passed upon was one involving not
only the powers and scope of the
State Railway Rate Commission,
but the constitutionality of the law
creating such Rate Commission.
The Court after an exhaustive re-
view of the arguments presented by
the Attorney General, and attorneys
representing number of the larg-
est railway corporations doing bust
ness within the borders of this
State, holds the law in question to
be constitutional, and that all rea-
sonable orders issued by the Rate
Commission must be obeyed. Only
in cases of unreasonable orders can
the courts interfere, and in such
cases the decision holds that the
Commission must be given the
benefit of every doubt. No appeal
to the Federal Courts from the de-
cisions rendered by the Rate Com
mission, except in cases where its
orders are clearly Of confiscatory
nature, can be made.
Though this case originated in a
comparatively trivial matter, the
principles involved are of vital i'm
portance to the people in the trans
portation problem, the Court clear
ly establishing the constitutional
right Of the Commission to fix rates
within the State, and this decision
has been anxiously awaited by rail
attorneys throughout the country
as one likely to form basis for de-
cisions in other states. The de-
cision is valuable not only in that it
establishes the right of the State to
fix transportation rates but in that
it defines the status of the Commits
sion and tells the public utilities"
people "just where they, are at"

LIFE INSURANCE LEGISLA=
TON.

In it's excessive zeal IN the cause
of reform the last Wisconsin legis-
lature went far beyond the require
ments of safety in the matter of life
insurance legislation. The mem
bers of that body knew when they
commenced their proscriptive legis-
lation that the New York investiga-
ton of life insurance methods had
resulted in placing the life insurance
business upon an absolutely sure
basis, far stronger than had ever
before prevailed, and in the face of
this they entered upon course of
legislation which, because of it's
onerous exactions, compelled a
score of strictly irst-class life in
surance companies to abandon the
field here. The withdrawal of such
companies means a withdrawal of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
which they had loaned to citizens of
this State, for, they do not care to
loan funds in a commonwealth from
which they have been practically ex-
Guided by legal requirements too
grievous to be borne"
While upon this subject we feel
constrained to touch upon what ap-
pears 10 US as fragrant injustice
toward a home company which
should at least be accorded a fair
show, even if not fostered. We refer
to the Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance Company, of Milwaukee,
which the legislature seems to have
made an especial object of prey.
The Northwestern pays into the
State treasury, in charges against
it, an average of over one thousand
dollars a day. The annual tax of
this company in Wisconsin if de-
Quoted from the dividends paid to
its policy holders in Wisconsin,
would amount to more than fourteen
per cent. of their premiums, making
a rate seven times as large as the
average premium tax rate imposed
by the laws of other States. Of
course these excessive taxes are
drawn from policyholders, not upon
funds which they possess, but which
are in prospective. The taxes paid
into the State treasury by this COM
pany amount to more than the COM
bined payments of all other life in
surance companies, all fire insur-
ance companies, all accident and
casualty companies, all loan and
trust, plank road, boom and river
improvement, express, sleeping-car,
freight line and equipment COM
panies doing business in this State.
It has paid nearly So, 100000 in taxes
to the State during the last ten
years.
The exactions of the Wisconsin
insurance laws have become so great
that, we understand, the North
western at one time gave some con-
sideration to a proposition to remove
to Chicago, where more favorable
insurance laws exist, but finally de-
cided to appeal to the next Wiscon-
sin Legislature for the even-handed
justice to which it deems itself en-
titled. The insurance laws of this
State undoubtedly need thorough
revision, and we can see no reason
why Wisconsin should not give her
home company opportunities equal
to those given other companies by
their respective States.

About sixty of the former stu dents
of the Normal School who attended
it in the earlier days of its existence,
when it was under the charge of
President Parker, held picnic
gathering at the Park on Friday
evening of last week to give to the
President a token of their kindly
renembranceS of his work in their
school days. A fine supper was
served in the pavilion, after which
the President gave a brief address
recalling the old days and also the
aim and methods of the school and
it's faculty at that time. To teach
facts was of course a prime duty,
but to develop the student, to make
him think, to be accurate in his
statements and work, these were all
important in the view of the faculty
and it was the constant effort of the
faculty to make its graduates re-
sourcefu1 in all respects. And it's
work has proved a success. No
better graduates ever went from any
school than have ended their course
at the River Falls Normal. In com
menting upon it's work an educator
from another locality remarked to
President Parker: "Your young peo-
pie have learned to dig, meaning
by this that they have learned to
think, to investigate, to study
earnestly. President Parker's talk
was warmly received by his old
students, after which one after an
other of those present were called
upon for school remini essences, which
proved both interesting and many
of them amusing. There was how
ever evidence of a minor key in the
general feeling of regret, that this
may prove the last public gathering
at which the students here may
meet their old and faithful teacher,
whose influence has been so full of
good things and grand results for
the city of River Falls and the sur
rounding country.
