Commissioners In Trouble

Complaints were filed last Satur-
day in the circuit court of Dane
county, by Attorney General Frank
L. Gilbert in the suits for recovery
brought by the state of Wisconsin
against former Insurance Com
missioners William A. Fricke, Emil
Giljohann and Zeno M. Host and
their ,bondsme-f, and against Com
missioner of Insurance George E.
Beedle and his bondsmen. In ali,
seven causes of action are set forth
involving penalties in the sum of
$40, 900. Against w. A. Fricke
and his bondsmen two causes of &C
ton are recited with penalties of
$1,000 each; against Emil Giljo-
hann, three with penalties of S2o,-
600 each; against Zeno M. Host,
two with penalties at $4,000 each
and against George E. Beedle two
with penalties of $4,000 each.
The complaints charge in sub
stance, that the defendants were
charged with the duties of examin-
ing both foreign and domestic in
surance companies doing business
in Wisconsin, and with the duty of
paying into the state treasury all
sums collected by them as compen-
satiOn for such examination, as pro-
vided by law, over and above the
actual, necessary expenses of such
examination. 1t is alleged in each
of the several complaints that the
respective commissioners conducted
such examinations during their
terms of office and collected there
for large sums of money, over and
above the actual and necessary ex
penses conducting the examinations
the exact amount of whichr is not
known to the plaintiff, and which
were converted by the respective
commissioners to their. own uses
and benefits.

DudGe County Training School

John Kelley, superintendent OF
schools for Dodge county, has issue
a circular of information, relative to
the establishment of a county training
schoul for teachers in Dodge crounty,
copy of the same having been sent
to each member of the board of super
vlsors of that county. The circular
contains report Of the action of the
board at its last session at which q
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the matter and report at the
MAY 1909 session of the board.
The committee made a favorable re-
port recommending the establishment
OF such school.
Mr.. Kelley in his circular says
"Iu is my own convictiun that a
county training school would greatly
promote the educational interest of
the county by giving US better trained
teachers for the common schools and
that too without any additional cost
over the present systam.'' The posi-
tion taken by Supt. Kelley is all righ,
fully proven in the counties which
have such schools and should the large
sums Of money now spent on normal
schools be distributed among the
counties for the maintenance of
training schools, eighty per cent
more teachers would be equipped for
their work and all localities benefited
