COSTLY TO THE STATE

COSIL4 10 The STATE
Seemingly Insignificant Little
Bill Will Cost State Quarter
of Million for Heating
Plants.
How tall oaksfrom little.acorns
grow IS AN old, old story that
has its exemplifcation in many
of the affairs of life. For instance
at the last session of the legisla-
ture very interesting and in
offensive looking little bill was
introduced providing that when
school districts of the first class
and the law pretty nearly com
pels them all to be first class
within the meaning of the term
have complied with certain re-
quirenlents regarding the install
lation OF approved ventilating
systems, they shall be entitled to
draw $50 from the state as
special aid, reward, as it were
for vigilance in the interest of
properly ventilated schoolrooms.
Twas a pretty little thing in its
young vigor and backed enthusi-
astically by numerous makers of
schemes of ventilation, hot air
and otherwise.
And no sooner was the meas
ure safely through the legislature
and endorsed by the governor
than they got busy all over the
state inducing district school
boards to give orders for their
apparatus. 1t was an easy Job,
for with the state paving $50
toward SIS dingus, a cross be-
tween sheet iron warming
oven and a halfa-dozen joints of
stove pipe. twas picnic selling
them, and nearly every district
participated in the deal.
There are 1000 school districts
in the state and State Treasurer
Dahl says that he expects every
one of them will be on hand
January l with a claim for $50
state aid. Twill be tidy sum,
100000, pretty close to quar-
ter of a million. Then, too, there
is the clerical work involved in
the writing out of the necessary
1000 vouchers, checks or what
ever may be necessary. This will
be no small job; in fact, it is not
so many years ago when twice
the number, or 5000, was the
entire number of orders drawn in
a year against the state treasury.
Now halt that number are re-
quired to care for a little side
issue that is but a drop in the
great bucket of commonwealth
expenditure through the state
treasurv.-M adison Democrat.
School boards in Villas county
have a finger in this pie and will
receive special aid from this fund.
The Marco and Mayo schools
in the town of Eagle River have
complied with the law as to in
stalling of the proper appliances,
as has the schools in the towns
of Conover and Hacklev, SO far
as we have been able to learn.
In conversation with members
of the local school board the
statement is made that IN order
to follow instructions to secure
this aid it is a trifle more expen-
sive to equip than would ord1-
narily be the case if they choose
their own heating system and
appliances, but that in the long
run it is just as cheap to JOIN IN
with the bunch and secure the
$50 prize hung up by the state
even if you are compelled to
purchase your plant and appur-
tenances of some one firm which
the state stipulates.

ASK BERESFORD'S HEAD.
Clamor of London Newspapers Er-
Dected to Force Government 4cta0n.

London July S.-The campaign now being waged
nv the newspapers against Admiral Lord Charles
Reresford has reached point where it seems In
evitable that the government must interfere IN
some way to abate what is becoming PUBIC
scandal It is difficult to arrive at the true facts
I'm the case but ever since the signal incident on
November 2 1907, strained relations have existed
between Lord Beresford and Rear Admiral sir
Percy Scott.
Lord Beresford also has declined 20 continue MS
friendship with Sir John Fisher, First Lord or the
Admiralty on account of his disagreement with the
Admiralty policy This feeling has been so open
that Lord Reresford of the Kings levees
held recently deliberately cut Sir John IN the
presence of many naval and military onlcers.
Several of the influential London newspapers
openlv clamor for the resignation or the removal
or Lord Beresford from the command of the Chan-
mel fleet on the ground that he cannot'agree either
with his superiors or with his interiors. and that
naval dIssensions of such q nature are national
danger
Other papers contend that Lord Beresford is the
victim of an unfair press campaign. The Stand
ard this morning asserts that Lord Beresford sig
nailed to Sir Percy Scott that he right in dis
chewing a signal which the admiral had sent up
for an evolution which II obeyed would have
brought the cruisers Argyll and Good Hope into
collision and tins incident. says The Standard" is
