Concerning State Indebtedness

n. B. Kimball, in the Ellsworth
Record of Feb. Is, makes the follow
ing characteristic observations up
on the subject of State Indebted
ness:
The constitution of the State OF
Wisconsin expressly limits the
amount of Indebtedness that may
be incurred by the State to one hun
dred thousand dollars.
The same instrument just as ex-
plicitly restricts the purposes for
which any Indebtedness may be in
Cured, to defraying extraordinary
expenditures, repelling invasion,
suppressing instruction, and de-
| Tending the State in time of war.
The constitution still further safe
guards the interests of the people
by definitely providing for the can
collation. of any indebtedness that
may be incurred hereunder, at a
date not later than five years from
the time that such debt may be con-
| tracted.
There is nothing obscure or am
biguous about the foregoing consti-
tutional limitations and restrictions
concerning State misunderstanding
are as clear and comprehensive as
the English language can make
them, and yet the present Attorney
General is reported as having ex-
pressed the opinion that the State
can lawfully issue certificates of in
debtedness for one million dollars,
to run thirty years, the proceeds to
be devoted to the purchase of lands
for forestry purposes. The bead
! forester wants three million dollars
to be used in carrying out his plans
but the Attorney General evidently
feared that the constitution, in its
present Anticipated form, would not
prove sufficiently elastic 10 stretch
to the three million mark, while the
constitutional limit is one hundred
thousand.
In view of the definite clearness
with which the constitution limits
State Indebtedness, as to amount,
purposes for which it may be con-
tracted, and length of time it may
remain outstanding, we are COM
pletely at loss to understand why
the legal adviser of our common
wealth should SO interpret that doc
ument as to permit the contracting
of a State debt for ten times the
amount, and for a period six times
that specifically given in the consti-
tuition and for a purpose never
dreamed of by the trainers of the
charter.
While upon this subject we will
suggest something concerning
State indebtedness that is known
to but a comparatively small
number of taxpayers. 1t is this:
The taxpayers of Wisconsin are
now paying seven per cent. interest
on State debt amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars that
exists in direct violation of the con-
stitution. They have been doing
this for oyer third of a century,
and their Indifference to the consti-
tutional limitations relating to
State Indebtedness may have in
f1uenced the Attorney General in
forming the opinion that million
dollar increase in the State debt
would be tolerated.
Should any combination of Off
Gals attempt to carry out the At
torney Generals opinion that the
existing unconstitutional State debt
can be constitutionally increased
one million dollars, it would be an
excellent plan for some public. spir-
tied citizen to ask the Supreme
Court to pass upon the proposition.

There is a movement on foot
among farmers in many of the
towns of Chippewa and Barron
counties to do away with the pay
ment of road taxes with work, and
substituting cash. Petitions for the
Inauguration of the new system will
be made to various town boards. 1t
is pointed out that very little is &C.
complished, as a rule, toward i'm
proving roads by different farmers
working out" the taxes, and by
paying cash, it is believed, the road
supervisors can hire competent lab
orers and keep them at work during
the whole season.-Dunn County

1t ought to be no cause for sur
prise that a nondescript local ex-

it is at, should become somewhat
confused concerning the attitude of

FOUR-YEAR-OLD MADE A BONFIRE
 OF MAMMA'S CHAIR
The Chair Was Big, Had a Fine Fringe and Made a Splendid Blaze.

Emmett Riddell. aged years, who resides with his parents at 2S8 Ben ham avenue, has been interested for a long time in the bon fires that he saw larger boys build in the street
 Several times he has helped himself to matches and attempted to start fire on his own account. but on each occasion he was thwarted by some older person, until this morning when he selected a large upholstered chair with a heavy fringe as an excellent thing to make blaze with. The chair was located in his mothers par Tor, but Master Riddell did not care where it stood as long as it made a big fire. He touched a lighted match to the fringe and it was off. The smoke filled the rooms. An elder brother of the mischievous youngster hustled to Park and Benham avenues and sent in an alarm from box 351. The auto chemical crew arrived in a jiffy and carried the blazing chair out of the house. No damage done to the house, which is owned by F. E. Lalley.

They agreed on Saturday. but when MT. Terry arrived shortly after o'clock Monday morning he found the Italians enjoying life beneath the shade trees. He asked what the matter was and Cortenio Sabbi who had been appoint ed spokesman, said that the men were unwilling to work the extra hour un- less their wages were advanced from s1.5O to s1.75 a day. MT. Terry refused to increase the pay but said that he was willing to split the difference as far as the time was concerned and asked them to work nine and a nall hours a. day. As the 1tallanS were still obdurate they were discharged, and all left the premises except the three who were in the City court this morning. MT. Terry lost no time in getting into the center of the city where he hired a dozen or so Hungar- ians to substitute. When he arrived with the new 1aborerS the three 1tal- ians who had remained picked up shovels and picks and charged upon the new arrivals, shouting that they lr;Il f Qt n6 n go to work. The Hungarians thought discretion the better part of valor and hied themselves in the direction whence they had come. MT.

ASKS $5,OOO FOR
 EYE BURNED OUT
Terrible Injury Overlook Iron Works Employe When Molten Iron Struck Gold Bars.

Steven Kenhartz. a resident of the West End, through his attorney. Rob- ert E.. DeForest, has brought suit against the Bridgeport Malleable Iron Co.,, for s5,OO0 for injuries received while working in their plant. The plaintifh states that he was engaged as a moulder, that part of his duty was pouring up, or carrying molten metal from the furnaces to the mouldS.
 This work is now done by the moulders themselves, though prior to the recent financial panic, every moulder had one or two helpers to assist him. On Dec. IS, of last year. Kenhertz was directed to carry the moulten metal into a part of the foundry to which he had never work ed in previously. The place, he claims was wholly unfit and highly danger ous, because of the fact that it was insufficiently lighted, because it was obscured by vapors and most of all because there were a number of metal bars upon the floor over which the plaintiff stumbled. The metal spilled upon the cold bars. Spattering about the plaintiffs right eye was burned out, The fact. that an explosion would occur when the hot and cold metal came il contact was known to theg defendants but was entirely un- known to the plaintiff. Property to the value of S6,OOO of the company has been attached to cover the suit.

Crucial Vote on Motion to Substitute Minority for
 Majority Report All Fairfield County Sena- tors Vote With People
 Except Holzer Charge Made That Senator With Whom He Paired Turned Traitor and Broke Promise to
 Bridgeport Man
Manwaring and Arnold with Minority Report, Which Latter Would Amend By Making Commission Elec- tive by People, But is Ruled Out of Order.
Special from United Press.)

Hartford, Aug. 3.-The state Sen ate passed the Barnum public utilities commission bill today by a vote of IS to 13. NThis does not represent quite the closeness of the situation. The previous vote on the substitution of the minority bill, showed only Is Sen ators against the substitution to 15 in favor of the minority bill. Sena- tor Arnold, who voted for the minor ity bill stated that Senator Holzer, who was absent had asked him to say that if present he would have voted in favor of the minority bill. This would have produced a tie but the general feeling is that Senator Brooks would have dissolved it in fla vor of the Barnum bill
 The Senators whc voted against the substitution of the minority bill are as follows: Chamberlain, Middleton LlIddington, Shanley, Heineman, Bow en, Hurley. Lattimer, iAllyn, Brad ford, SearlS, Burnham, Barnum, Barnes, Day and Higgins. Those who voted for the substitution of the mi sop, Abbe, Courtney, Chase, Phillips, Arnold, Manwaring, Peck, Brinsmade. Silliman, Reid and Turner.
 When the latter vote on the Barnum bill vast taken, Senators Phillips and Turner switched over and voted for the Barnum bill.
 There did not appear to be any ner- vousness over the fate of the Barnum utilities bill when the Senate met this morning, and there was no such rally ing of lobbyists as would have been the case if it was expected to be close. After the Senate had cleaned up some minor business at 11:30 it took a recess until 12 o'clock. Upon reassembling, Senator Barnum reported the public utilities bill and moved it's passage. He read a lengthy speech which GOV cred the salient points of the measure and defended the special committee from some criticism that has been made of its course in adopting this bill. He believed the bill that bore his name to be a conservative step forward and all that ought to be asked for at this time. At the conclusion of his re- marks Senator F'enn said briefly that the report of the special committee was similar to the situation that would prevail if committee had been ap- pointed to revise the bill and had re- turned the apOchrypSa. He moved the substitution of the minority bill.
 Senator SearlS called his attention to the fact that this motion was not in order and he withdrew it and offered amendment striking out. all after the enacting clause in the Barnum bill and substituting the minority bill.

SENATE TO
 END FIGHT Agrees to Vote on Confer ence Report of Tariff Bill Thursday at 2 P. M. SENATOR BAILEY
 PUTS THE MOTION President Taft, on Hearing News Prepares to Leave
 for Beverly Friday
Senator Clapp of Minnesota Had Denounced the Bill in
 Concluding Speech
Especial from United Press !

Especial from United PreSs.)
 Washington, Aug. 3.-Tke Senate this afternoon agreed on motion of Senator Bailey to vote on the conference re- port on the tariff bill at D. n Thurs day.
 When the President was informed that the Senate would vote on the tar if bill on Thursday he said that he would probably leave Washington for Beverly, Mass, on Friday evening. He expects to go on the Federal express at 5:35 D. m.
 Senator Clapp of Minnesota had just concluded a speech denouncing the bill and nobody else appeared to be ready to take the floor. After moment or two the Vice President again put the motion for the adoption of the confer ence report. There was another chorus of Ayes and a chorus of Nos" Be- fore a motion could be made for a, roll call, Senator Bailey suggested that there should be some agreement as to the time of the vote because several of the Senators still wanted to speak. He thought it possibI etc fix Thursday at ? o'clock, but he said, significant tly, that he wanted it distinctly. under stood this would not include any sup elementary proposition. This refer ence was of course to the resolution
 w changing leather schedules. It might take as long to pass that, Bailey said, as it has taken to pass the tariff bill.
 At this point Senator Aldrich hur- ried in. He was asked as to his pur- pose to introduce such a resolution but he would lnot commit himself further enough matters in the tariff which needed correction. Senator Bacon suggested that several Senators had things which they wanted changed in the report. At this point Bailey put after tomorrow as the time for voting On the bill as reported by the con fereees.
 The motion was then unanimously agreed to. Bailey's yelled threat about the lengthy debate on the resolution rather disconcerting to the Republican leaders. It was meant as an intima- tion of the Democratic purpose to use this opportunity to compel the restora- tion of cotton bagging to the free list.
 McCumber. Republican, N. D), a appeared much in the conference re- port, stated that he would vote for the bill. As McCumber was about to go to the White House, Secretary of Az riculture Wilson asked him if he had taken all the kinks out of the bill.
 ''No, there are lots of them in 1t yet, replied McCunnber.
 When consideration of the confer ence report was resumed today Culber- son, Democrat, Texas), called atten- t1on to published reports that joint resolution would be introduced with regard to the duty on leather goods. He gave notice that when the resolu- tion was presented he would offer an placing cotton bagging on the free list.

 New York, Aug. 3.-Seventeen thou sand coat tailors are expected to strike in New York and Brooklyn today. making total of 30.00O who have walked out. The tailors demand a ten per cent. raise in wages, a. general nine hour day and the abolition of task work.
