LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Compliments The Age-HeraId d

To the Editor of The Age -Herald:
 wish to congratulate you on the ex- ceeding fair manner in which you give the news, both for and against the pro- posed constitutional amendment
 I take daily paper that gives but one side on this question.
 My idea of a newspaper is to give the news, regardless of the individual predi- lections of the editor, and no good paper should be so narrow and contracted as to fail or refuse to do this.
 The people have right to have all the light possible shed upon this subject. Respectfully, s. H. SPROTT.

Contractors and Builders See In
dication OF Record Season
During Coming Months
BIG BUILDINGS ARE STARTED
Architects Busy Getting out Plans
and Lumber Men Claim Orders
are Larger Than in
Previous Years

Contractors and builders in the city
declare that the season just opening in
Kenosha promises to be the busiest
season in the history of the city and
there is every indication that the work
men of the city associated with the
building trades will be kept busy dur
ing the entire season. Advance CON
tracts have been let for a. large num-
Der Of buildings and the lumber yards
and planning mills have been rushed for
some time booking orders for build
ing to be started just as soon as the
weather conditions will permit. The
year promises to be a record breaking
one for factory buildings in the city.
The Balm Wagon Company has already
started operations on the building Of
a great new building for that company
and within another week work will be
started on the great building planned
by the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company.
The Allen Company will have some big
building operations this year and the
Badger Brass Company has announced
that it will build a big addition to the
Lyman avenue plant. The plans of the
Simmons Manufacturing Company are
as yet not fully matured, but it is GER
tain that at least one new building
will be erected by this company this
year.
The contractors for the new govern
ment post office have been in Kenosha
during the past few days and they will
probably start work at the building on
next Monday morning.
There seems to be absolutely no diff
ferences between the Workmen and the
contractors this year and it looks as if
all were ready to work together for
ia great year in building. The archi
tests declare that they are kept busy
night and day getting out plans for new
buildings to be started just as soon as
the season opens and the number of
smaller buildings to be erected in Ke-
noha this year will break the high
water mark reached in 1906
The Commission recently named by
the Common Council to draft a build
ing ordinance for the city, is busy at
work. The task has proved a very
hard one, but the members Of the Com
mission are now beginning to see the
end Of their labor and it is thought
that the building ordinance will be
ready for presentation to the Council
some time in April. It will not be
passed in time to effect all building this
year, but it is certain that the mem
bers Of the Council will pass it just as
soon as possible. The men at work on
the ordinance have tried to make it as
near perfect as possible and every
clause has been written with view
of making it just as good as possible.

Legislature to Act on the Bill for Ke-
nosha Court Soon

The bill to provide for the establish
ment Of Municipal Court in Kenosha
was introduced into both houses Of the
Wisconsin legislature this morning and
the Kenosha bar has strong commit
tee at Madison to urge the passage of
the bill at the earliest possible moment.
The bill was promptly referred to the
committees of Judiciary of the two
houses and ordered published. It is the
plan of the steering committee in
charge Of the bill to make an effort to
get consideration of it on the floor
of both houses in order to have it pass
ed in time to become law before the
end of this month. This would make
possible the election of judge for the
court at the coming spring election as
the bill carriers an emergency clause
which will make it possible to go into
effect at once.

A Leading Question

IF the new steel mills, at Gary, Ind,
can, as the managers claim, turn out
10000 tons of steel rails per day with
less than 10000 men and at the same
time and with the same help turn out
thousands Of dollars worth of by-pro-
duets, how much of the cost of steel
is chargeable to labor? Further, how
many dollars per ton will it be neces-
sary for the government to place on
steel rails as protective tariff to ''pro-
tect' home labor as far as the steel
rail industry is concerned? Probably
not more than one voter in a hundred
knows that the present duty on steel
rails is seven dollars ton or more
according to grade or weight. This
duty, of course, protects the poor g in
FAINT industry" known as the Steel
Trust with it's half billion of "water'
on which it has to pay dividends; some
people claim that the purchasers of
this watered stock are innocent pur
chasers and ought to be protected. 1t
seems to us about as sensible to say
that every man who buys gold brick
ought to be protected, but the govern
ment don t step up and hand him any
sympathy money. AS far as getting a
revenue from the duty on steel, the
government would have a great deal
better chance of deriving a revenue
from the duty if they would let in steel
rails for fifty cents or a dollar ton;
in that case there would be chance
of some being shipped in, but under
duty of seven dollars a. ton the income
of the government from that source
will be mighty small.
