arid regions Of the West, says former
United States Senator Charles H.
Dietrich of Nebraska, who while he
was in the senate spent much Of his
time studying the irrigation question

Of irrigation laws.
Senator Dietrich is thoroughly
familiar with the needs Of the West
in the way of irrigation. 1t was at

of the Western senators and con-
Rrsssmsn was called Al Omaha in
1901 to consider that need, AID at

He says he Is we'll satisfied with
the progress that has been made, but
he believes that the next quarter OF

TO GUARD HEALTH OF STUDENTS
State University Authorities Arrange
for Reports On All Cases of Illness

In order to insure prompt medical
attendance and prevent as far as pos
sible the Development of serious i'll
ness among the students of the univer-
sity, the faculty committee on hygiene,
of which Prof. M. P. Rayenel, head of
the state hygienic laboratory and Of
the university department of bacteri-
ology, is chairman, has arranged with
all those in charge of houses where
students live to have every case Of
sickness reported promptly to this com
mittee. Each case of student illness
will be investigated by the committee
at once. By this method it is expected
that the amount of sickness among the
students, which on the average in the
past has been very small, will be reduc
ed to minimum.
To maintain as hygienic conditions
as possible in all university class-rooms,
laboratories, and in the buildings gen
orally, monthly reports from those in
charge Of these rooms are to be made
to the committee on hygiene. Careful
investigation of ventilation, heating,
lighting, and general sanitary condi
tions in all Of the buildings is to form
a. part Of the faculty committee S work
in this direction.

Governor Davidson has every reason
to be proud Of the Endorsement given
him at the recent election. The official
returns give him a big plurality over
Taft and this in spite of the fact that
an underhandeds campaign was waged
against him by a certain element with
in his own party. The result is a
great personal triumph for Davisdon and
shows how strong hold he has on the
rank and file of the party all over the
state, On the face Of the returns the
failure Of certain of the campaign ora
tors to make any mention whatever OF
the state ticket does not appear to have
had much effect ON the vote, 1t looks
very much as if Davidson could safely
rest his case with the people and de
pend on them to defend him from al
attacks from every source.

W. N. CowelI, Former KeHosha
Man Injured in Chicago, De.
mands Big Damages
CLAIMS INJURY PERMANENT
CoWell Makes First Visit to Kenosha
Since His Injury and His Health
is Greatly Improved
After Accident

Walter Marshall Cowell, former Ike
nosha attorney ana real estate man,
terribly injured in an accident on the
street railway in Chicago three months
ago, has filed suit against the Chicago
City Railway Company demanding dam
ages to the amount of 100000 The
suit has been filed in the Superior
Courts of Illinois and it is understood
that the former Kenosha man has Sc
cured the best legal talent to be found
in Chicago to press his claims against
the company.
IN his suit he declares that the acct
dent resulted in the loss of his right
leg and that he is permanently dis
.abled. No time has been set for the
trial of the suit, but the agents of the
company have offered to make an eff
fort to settle the case out of court
and it is estimated that they will be
willing to pay CoWell the sum of $4,000
if he will release the company from
further claims for damages. CoWell
has declined to make any settlement
with the company as yet, but it is
stated that he is willing to settle if he
can arrive at proper arrangement
with the company.
Mr.. CoWell came to Kenosha, this
morning accompanied by his wife and
this is the first time he has been in
Kenosha since the accident. He was at
his Office for more than two hours dur
ing the day and many Of his friends
came into the Office to extend congrat-
ulations on his miraculous escape
Cowell appeared in better health than
he had been in years and he admits
that his general health has not been
impaired any by his long stay in the
hospital. His right leg was cut eff
just below the knee and he is now us
ing a crutch leg and a cane, but in
short time the leg VIII be fitted with
a wooden leg when it is said will be
just as good to all appearances as the
leg he lost in the accident. Both of
Cowell's feet were crushed by the car,
but the left foot has almost entirely
recovered.
In the meantime Mr.. Cowell has been
indicated in the criminal action recent
ly brought against him by one Young Of
Chicago as it is said that Young who
was the only witness of the state
against him has left Chicago and can
not be located Cowell insists that he
will bring action for million dollars
damages against the City Of Chicago,
Cook county, and the State of Illinois,
charging false arrest.

foreigner who cares to attend. The
men who have the ambition and the
grit to acquire an education in this way

people the opportunity to educate them

ASKS FOR NEW LAWS
Secretary of State in Report to
the Governor Asks for New
Primary EIeclj0o Laws
JUDGES NEED MORE MONEY

An unusual report was made to the
governor Friday by Secretary of State
Frear who accompanies his formal re-
port with number of important rec
concentrations for new legislation.
This is unique feature, the biennial
report usually being forwarded with
out comment. Among the recommen-
dations made are:
:" A change in the paying of bounties
for the scalps of harmful animals, by
which claims can be audited by the
state. Many claims have been paid in
past years for scalps supposed to be
those of dogs and other animals:
An increase in many cases Of the
salaries paid judges. but provisions
against payment of salaries in advance
when likely to cause confusion in the
audlting Of accounts.
A better check upon automobiles
registered
A change in election forms to do
away with the advantage at present
enjoyed by the candidate whose name
comes first, when the lists are arranged
in alphabetical order.
A more effective law providing for
publicity of campaign expenses, and to
preserve party lines in the primaries.
"A change in the inheritance tax
laws providing for the more effective
work of collecting such taxes, and the
giving to the county authorities Of a
larger proportion Of the receipts.
Secretary Frear in his report also re
fers to the remittance of state taxes
showing that the major portion Of the
states receipts are now drawn from
other than the ordinary property tax,
being derived from corporation taxes,
inheritance taxes and other such
sources.
On the question of campaign expense
publicity the report says:
1EThe present law effecting publicity
of campaign expenses by providing for
fling Of statements in this office does
not fully meet the purpose of the
statute. To be effective, some limit
should be placed upon the expendi-
lures. Such laws exist in other states
and bill to that effect was proposed
at the last legislative session. Unless
unconstitutional, an effective limitation
would be appreciated by candidates. as
well as by electors Statements of cleo
ton expenses as fled in this office are
frequently indefinite and meaningless.
Payments made to sundry persons and
similar items are even more specific
than other statements on file, indicating
the slight value of expense statements
and ineffectiveness of the present
statute.
| |1The returns on file show that the
primary law can be further strength
ened by requiring declaration of
party utilization before or at the pr
/ mary or by providing that party nomi
nees for each separate Office must
jointly receive a certain percentage OF
the party vote cast at general elections
in order to warrant certifcation Of a
party nominee for that Office Such an
amendment would help preserve party
lines and largely prevent political in
reference in the party primary by
members Of an opposing party

The Board of Education is law IN
to itself when it comes to erecting new
buildings and in all other matters re
lating to the schools. The members of
the Board are responsible to their con
stituents not to the Council. The
Board names the amount Of money it
requires to run the schools and all the
Council has to do is to include the
amount in the tax levy. The Council
cannot "cut down the estimates" of
the Board for it has no authority over
the Board in any way.

The most important business to come
before the next session Of the legisla
ture is that relating to the fraternal
insurance companies and there is every
reason to believe chat laws will be en-.
acted which will vitality affect many of
the fraternal orders. An attempt will
undoubtedly be made by the legislature
to fix some standard of rates to which
all insurance orders will be expected
to conform and there is a strong prob
ability that the minimum rate under
this standard will be higher than that
now charged by many Of the companies
and orders doing business in this state
for there is a, feeling among the mem
bers of the legislature who have in
vestigated the condition Of the frater
nal orders that in many instances Tho
rates are too low to keep the companies
within the safety limit.
