More Than q Score of Companies
Fined In Federal Court.
A few days ago twenty-four paper
manufacturing companies were fined
S., 600 each by the United States cir

If the makers Of news print paper

State Aid for Country Roads.

In my judgement, nothing has come
before the people of the State in many
years which means more to the future
progress and development of our COM
monwealth than this very question of
State aid.
The farmer is especially interested,
If he can but see the question in it's
true light. There is a powerful pres
sure of public sentiment for the i'm
prOvement of our roads. The farmer
has resisted this pressure because, as
matters now stand, the main burden of
construction would come on him, but
If the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution is carried, then all the pro-
perty of the State is placed under con-
tribution for this important object.
Then again, there is no man in the
State who is more vitality interested
from the hard cash standpoint, in hav-
ing good roads to his market town.
than the farmer. The nearer to town
his farm lies the greater its value, and
the more it will sell per acre. A good
macadamized road that can be used
in all kinds of weather and all times
of the year for the heaviest loads,
practically produces distance fifty per
cent for, double the load can be han
died and If need be, the distance can
be travelled in half the time. Wher-

Settings For Public Buildings.

Along with the growing appreciation
of parkways comes the recognition Of
the value, even necessity, of setting
of greensward for all public buildings
In the past areas set aside for munich
pal buildings have had the whole avail
able space covered by one or more
structures. A lawn belt about all mu-
nicipal buildings is now being demand
ed, and the cry Is growing louder and
more unmistakable that these planta-
ton belts should be wider. When this
growing artistic spirit has reached the
proper stage we shall find grass COW
cred parkways and street trees on all
our principal business streets.

WILL PLACE FULL
TICKET IN THE FIELD
Democrats In Convention, Take
Action to Secure County
Ticket.
CHAIRMAN MAKES ADDRESS
Select Nine Delegates to Represent
County at State Convention.

The Democratic sentiment and en-
thusiasm which prevails in this coun-
try cannot be judged by the small
number of delegates present at the
was called for the purpose of electing
nine delegates to the state convention
in Milwaukee, on July q. The APP
parent lack of interest is attributed to
the fact that an impression had in
some way been created, that the Dem
ocrat would have no county ticket in
the field this fall. The delegates pres
ent, almost without exception, were in
favor of naming ticket and the coun-
ty committee was instructed to choose
the candidates and have the nomina-
tion papers for the various Offices
signed and filed before August 2.
The convention was called to order
by T. n. Arthur of Dodgeville.
George Crawford of Mineral Point
was elected permanent chairman and
Frank w. Hadden, of Dodgeville,
secretary.
Chairman Crawford then made a
short address. He said:
81 thank you for the honor you
have conferred upon me in selecting
me to preside over this meeting. [ am
here because | believe that it is the
duty of the citizen to all times take
an active, intelligent interest in the
affairs Of government; to weigh well
the claims which political parties
make ~pon him for his suffrage, and
to give his support and influence to
the party which stands for the best
interests of the people.
81 hold, that today the Democratic
party stands for the highest purpose
| of government-equal and exact just
ice to all citizens.
1.-THE party has nominated good
presidential ticket and adopted q
sound platform.
civilian Jennings Bryan, by his
| iAo1 OIL SouknSCY lis siSoe aO1Ahbsf Ii
positive convictions, and his advoca'
cy of needed reforms in government
has won the confidence of the people
who will, 1 believe, elect him to the
high office of president of the United
States. In his candidacy, Democrats
who have had their honest differences
in the past, are now united as they
never were before.
| "Mr. Bryan's running mate, Hon
John w. Kern, comes well recon-
mended. His high standing in hi:
home state would indicate that no mis-
take had been made in nominating
him.
1.-The platform upon which these
candidates stand, is sound, in every
plank: Trusts, the tariff, campaign
publicity, guaranteeing of bank de-
posits, railway regulation, direct vote
for q. S. senator, are questions
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1908-07-23

which are dealt with without reserve
or equivocation.
"Our Republican friends have
failed to make good. They have we'll
nigh stranded the gallant ship OF
state. With high tariffs, levied os-
tensibly for the benefit of the laborer,
there are at this very hour thousands
upon thousands of workingmen out of
employment, and distress prevails in
many cities in the land.
"We have had eight years Of album
| dant crops; but Notwithstanding these
full years, we are only just recovering
from panic brought on by men made
rich and arrogant by Republican
policies and practices.
Democracy is persuaded that mis-
use of government must cease. 1t is
persuaded that Democratic remedies
must be applied for the eradication of
the evils with which the body polite
is afflicted. Democracy is determined
that the power to block federal legis-
lation shall not be vested, as it now
is, in the speaker of the House of
Representatives Democracy is de-
termined that high tariff duties shall
be lowered; that the power of trusts
shall be curbed; that deposits in
banks shall be guaranteed; that cam
paign contributions shall be made
public. In a word, that there shall be
equal rights for all and special privi
leges for none.
ave are assembled here for the
purpose of choosing delegates to our
state convention. Let us do our plain
duty as men and as citizens and all
will be well. Let us have faith in
God and in the ultimate triumph of
the right. If we are true to our prin-
ciples, a mighty host will be drawn
to our banners. Progressive Democ
racy, and not reactionary Republican
ism, must and shall prevail"
The following delegates were elected
to represent the county in state con-
vention:
E. c. Fielder, Mineral Point; J. B.
Eagan, Pulaski; T. Fl. Arthur,
Dodgeville; Stephen Walsh, Mineral
Point; M. Il. Murphy, Clyde; A. G.
Roethe, Highland, Edw. Duffey,

The manner of naming candidates
for county offices was discussed by
| 7. NJ. Evans and T. Fl. Arthur,
Dodgeville, Frank Aide and W. j.
Penhallegon, Mineral Point, J. B.
Eagan, Pulaski, and others. The DEL
egates present were of the opinion
that to name no county ticket would
be bad policy and tend to disrupt the
county organization. On motion the
county committee was instructed to
see that nomination papers were cir
culated for Democratic ticket, and
filed according to law.
The following delegates were pres
ent: Thos. M Evans, Chas. Bilkey

ExHAUSTS RESOURCES.
Protectionists Begin to See the Re-
suits of the Tariff.

Theodore E. Burton, protectfonfst
representative from Ohio, while speak
ing recently In the house, expressed
the hope that larger degree of atten-
ton might be given to agriculture' In
this country. He pointed out that 'in
the great haste with which we are
using our resources of coal and timber
we must rely more and more upon the
produce of the soil' and that 'our de-
velopment would be more symmetrical
If the tastes of our people and their
energies were more largely directed to
the fruits and products of the farm"
1t would be interesting to hear Mr..
Burton or some other protectionist ex-
plain what 1t is that has brought our
"unsymmetricaP development, which
is draining our raw materials and ex-
hausting the resources of the country
while the nation is still young. What,
except the protective tariff, has forced
industry out of agriculture, to which
the country was suited, into the manu-
facture Of goods which we might have
purchased abroad much cheaper than
we could make them here? Now even
some protectionists see the folly Of the
exhaustion of our materials which
this forcing process has brought about,
but they seem to lack the sense TO re-
move the cause, the huge tariff walls
which prevent the use Of like materials
from abroad.

AS ARBITRATORS
Five Citizens Selected at Meet
ing of the Commercial
Club.
FRIENDLY SERVICES
Offered in the Matter of Claims
Against the Zinc Company.
THE COMMITTEE.

The Commercial club of Mineral
Point has taken the initiative in the
matter Of requesting that the claims
against the Zinc company for DANA
ges resulting from fumes from the
acid factory. At a meeting held at
the club rooms last Friday evening
the matter was calmly and fairly dis
cussed.
Robert M. Crawford acted as chair
man Of the meeting instead of Presi-
dent e. G.. Fielder, who is an attorney
for one of the claimants.
The consensus of all the opini ons
expressed was that the claims ought
to be settled out of court, in fairness
to the claimants, but without unneces-
sary cost to the company.
Mayor Brown accordingly offered
the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted by a rising vote:
Whereas, There are now pending
claims against the Mineral Point
Zinc company for damages to prop
erty owners resulting from smoke and
fumes from the Zinc company; and
Whereas, This Club believes that it
will be for the best interest of such
property owners and the Zinc com
pany and the city to have these
claims settled and adjusted out OF
court,
Now Therefore, Be 1t Resolved,
That the Mineral Point Commercial
Club does hereby offer its friendly
services both to the Zinc company
and the property owners who claim
damages, and does hereby offer in q
friendly way to mediate between the
Zinc company and the property
owners claiming damages; and to
that end let committee of five be
appointed two from this club and
two who are not members of this
Club, as an apraisement and arbitra-
tiOn committee to appraise the DANA
ges and arbitrate upon any and all
such claims.
Be 1t Resolved Further, that one
copy of this resolution be transmitted
to the Zinc company and like copy
to those persons who now have claims
pending against the Zinc company.
On motion the chair appointed the
committee for arbitration, as follows:
Edward Brown, Philip Allen, Jr., w.
J. Penhallegon, James Spensley, and
James w. Hutchinson.
That this action towards mediation
will in all probability bring good re-
suits is attested by a following fair
spirited communication from the at
torneys for Mrs. Sallady. one of the
claimants:
Mineral Point, July 20, 1908.
Hon. Ed. Brown, Chairman of Claims
Committee, city:
Dear Strive are in receipt today
of letter from Mrs. Salladay indi-
eating willingness to submit her
claim to your committee. We beg to
inform you and through you, the
other members of the committee at
any time which will suit the convent
ence of the committee.
On behalf of Mrs. Salladay, we wish
to thank the Mineral Point CONNER
Cial club for its kind offer to medi-
ate between the Zine company and
persons having claims. The commit
tee which the club has selected is
made up of men of high standing and
we have no hesitancy in submitting
the claim which we represent to that
committee. Very truly yours,
Fielder & Fielder.

MILES SEES THE LIGHT.
Finds That Congressional Promises
Are Not Worth Par.


Chairman II. E Miles of the COM
mittee on tariff of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers seems to be
finding out the real character of stand
patters' promises to revise the tariff
Mr.. Miles has labored hard for the
creation Of a tariff commission and
for the use of the knowledge of ex-
perts In the fixing of schedules, and at
one time he seems to have thought
congress had come around to his pro-
gramme, but he knows better now In
recent interview, published in the
New York Journal of Commerce, he Is
quoted as saying:
Information daily aceumulates
showing that 1t is the fixed and seem
ingly unalterable purpose Of Chairman
Payne of the house ways and means
committee to defeat every attempt to
enforce the principles advocated by
those who stand for an honest tariff
based upon clear proof. His remarks
In public and private show at every
turn his absolute insistence that the
next tariff shall not be based upon
information, that it shall be made In
the dark, that experts shall be en-
ployed only as a mere political play
and that the next tariff shall be as
full of graft and favoritism as he and
his kind can make it.
$50 clearly is this evidenced to those
in touch with the situation that Re
publicans who stand for principle and
for the right application of principle
and who occupy very important posi-
tons In the government have ex-
pressed to me the conviction that
Payne and his kind must be deprived
OF their power for evildoing or we
may look upon the possibility of a
Democratic house with complacency.
The lines are closely and clearly
drawn. On the one side are the adj
ministration and all it stands for, the
senate as whole and progressive
Republicans generally, and on the
other side the little clique who have
dominated the house these many years
and who In the making Of tariffs pur-
posely violate all those fundamental
principles of the constitution and the
before the law, for property rights and
against class legislation.
"I cannot in the least question the
statement Of a friend of Chairman
Payne to the effect that Mr.. Payne
said one or two years ago: Logically
the steelmakers, for instance, have no
right to any tariff at all. | would,
however, give them 81 to $3.50 on pig
iron The tariff on pig iron is 81 per
ton.
Another congressman as responsible
hs Mr.. Payne for the present situation
said to the writer: Don't you think we
know these things? Take Senator -.
He held up the Dingley tariff until We
made wholly unwarranted concessions
worth to him personally and a few Of
his friends over $5,000,O00 The -
robber! Know 1t! We had to have
his VOTE"
Mr.. Miles is entirely right. The
down the schedules containing tariff
graft and protecting the trusts in their
monopoly Of the American market.
Stand patters must be deprived of
their power for evildoing," and the
work of revision, downward in the in
terest of the people, must be intrusted
TO those whose. records prove them to
be friends of the people, not friends Of
the protected interests.

effect has been to, at once, increase
