MUST PURCHASE POWER
Plant at the State Capitol Found made
quate to Supply Necessary Light
for Construction.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 14.-[Special.]
the state capitol has an cleo
trio system Of it's own for lighting the
building, the demand for current on ac-
count of the construction of the new
west wing of the capitol has been SO
great that it has been necessary to pur
chase electricity from the local company
here for the lighting of the building.
The power which is generated by the
capitol plant itself will be used for the
operation of the elevators and electric
fans. This arrangement is only tempo
rary, however, and as soon as the new
capitol heating plant has been construct
ed, it will furnish all the power neces-
sary for all purposes in the building.

BADGERS BREAK EVEN.
at Madison, but Lose to Hawkeyes
at Iowa City.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 12.-[Special.]
BY unanimous decision, the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin debating team defeated
the University of Nebraska team in the
annual intercollegiate debate last night.
Wisconsin was represented by Monte F..
Appel, Huron, S. D.; George w. Blanch-
ard, Colby, and Gustav w. Buchen, She
boygan. The Nebraska debaters were
Stuart P. Dobbs, John l.. Rice and Jo-
seph T. Votava.
Wisconsin debated the affirmative of
the question, Resolved, That the cities
of the United States should adopt the
commission form of government" The
argument was for five commissioners,
elected for a term of one year. Each
commissioner was to be at the head of
O city department, and was to be remov
able at any time the people thought it
necessary. 1t was contended that there
is not enough legislation in the manage
ment of a city to make an institution
such as the common council necessary.
IOWA CITY, Ia, Dec. 12.-Iowa de-
baters won a unanimous decision over the
Wisconsin team here Friday night in the
debate on the question, Resolved, That
American cities should adopt a commits
sion form of government" The Hawk
eye team-A. Luxford, E. G. Robbins
and g. F. Coulter-took the affirmative.
The Badgers were III. r. Martin, W. NJ

STRICT ACCOUNT
SALE OF LIQUOR TO MINOR BY
BARTENDER IS CAUSE FOR RE-
vOKING LICENSE.
CONLIN CASE is REVERSED.
Wausau Doctor Wins Suit in Highest
Tribunal After Defeat in Cir
cult Court.
OTHER DECISIONS HANDED DOWN.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 15.-[ Special.l
In deciding the case Of the state OF
Wisconsin ex rel B. III. Conlin, appel
liant, VS.. mayor and council Of the city
Of Wausau, ct al, respondents, the SUI
preme court held that the license OF
saloon keeper must be revoked when the
bartender is convicted of selling liquor TO
minors In the opinion the court held
that we are persuaded that the language
on the subject makes the license fee an
swerable for the acts of its agents,
though he was absent from the place OF
business and had instructed the agent
not to make forbidden sales.
Charles Kalchik, a minor, obtained llq-
uor of Fred Brand at Brands saloon
from Gustave Hoffman, bartender, who
had full control of the establishment.
His guardian, DIR. Conlin, called the at
tenton of the city council to the mat
ter, which body, on hearing, March IL,
1908, refused to revoke the license. Con
lin then asked the circuit court to man
damus the council, but upon full hear
ing, setting up defense that the sale was
made by the bartender instead Of the
proprietor, the court quashed the writ
and Conlin appealed.

STATE COMMISSION SUGGESTS
CHANGE IN ELECTION OF
ASSESSORS.
TO AMEND CONSTITUTION.
Opinion Prevails That Present Method
Leaves Employees Open to Local
Influence.
LETTER SENT OUT THROUGH STATE

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 2.-[Special.l
That the Wisconsin state tax commits
sion believes that an amendment should
be made to the state constitution EN-
towering the commission or some other
competent authority to appoint local as
SCISSORS is indicated in circular letter
now being mailed to prominent citizens
and taxpayers throughout the state. AT
a recent session of the Legislature law
was passed empowering the tax commits
sion to appoint competent man to act as
local assessor when the assessment made
by the regularly elected official is deemed
inadequate by the board. The attorney
general held that the law was unconsti'
tutional, since it interferes with the To-
cality in it's right to elect its own town
officials.
Criticises Tax System.
''If assessors. instead of owing their
offices to local electors, were selected by
some outside authority and with refer.
ence to their capacity, with tenure OF
office and compensation depending upon
faithfulness and efficiency, they would
be immune to the influences now produc-
ing such evil results" says the letter
tASA LAC NOCpSAOE - UohSu w LdC Soh1
mission. 'Shall the constitution be
changed in this respect2'
A portion of the letter is a rather sad
commentary upon the present system of
taxation. which treats of the apportion-
ment of tax burdens and the inequalities
resulting from omissions and arbitrary
valuations of property IN local assess
mentS.
Recommends a Change.
"Such assessments have not improved
materially in recent years, and in some
respects have grown worse, notwith-
standing the efforts for Improvement
made by acts of the Legislature and 9th.
erWise," says the letter. Assessors and
boards Of review are not charged with
having less respect for law or official
obligation than other citizens or officials,
but denunciation is melted out to the
system under which influences tending
to bad assessment are of greater force
than the commands of the lava system
which requires of assessing officials
moral stamina not possessed by the av
erage man."
The fact that the letter is publicly
mailed out is taken by officials at the
capitol as an indication of the most per-
tinent recommendation to be made in
the report Of the state tax commission
early in January to the Legislature.
