Must Obey Commission.

City Attorney John T. Kelly's opin-
ion to the council railroads committee
that 'the order of the state railroad
commission ordering the installation
of air-brakes on all new cars installed
by the Milwaukee Electric Railway e
Light Company was advisory and is
not binding upon that company" is not
according to law or correct, according
to John H. Roemer, member of the
railroad commission.
Mr. Roemer says Mr.. Kelly was
talking under old laws and has evil
IDENTIFY not examined the 1909 statutes
carefully. Mr.. Roemer further says
that an order of the railroad commits
sion operates as a statute and heavy
penalties are provided for all viola
tions of such orders. At the present
time, according to Mr.. Roemer, suit
is being tried against the 500 road for
disobeying an order of the commits
sion with reference to the laying of
a sidetrack, ordered by the commits
sion.
when the commission orders a
company to do thing and it refuses
to obey" said Mr.. Roemer, "the case
is Immediately turned over to the at
torney general, who prosecutes the
violators. Chapter 80, laws of 1909,
will doubtless show Mr.. Kelly his mis-
take"

Emery and Wilson in Tilt.

]. Q. Emery of Wisconsin, president
of the Association of State and Ma
tional Food and Dairy departments,
and James Wilson, secretary of agri-
culture, engaged in Il heated contro-
versy at the thirteenth convention of
the association at Denver.
Mr. Emery attacked the findings of
the Remsen referee board appointed
at the suggestion of President Roose-

of soda as preservative and charged
Secretary Wilson with blocking re-
investigation. Mr.. Wilson replied.
Il wish we had the money to pro-
cure them for the department of agri-
culture" he said, "and l hope they
will be given fair hearing hera."
Mr.. Emery instantly resented this
remark and repeated his charge that
the secretary had blocked the appeal
to the president for reinvestigation
of the benzoate subject.

Madison.-The state fair board and
William MacLaren, superintendent of
promotion and publicity for the great
show, are determined to make the
Wisconsin state fair one of the great
est events of the kind in the United
States.
They intend to start the fair on
broader lines, and to this end will not
only invite the members and officials
Of Milwaukee's principal business or
CARNATIONS to inspect the new build
ings and Improvements at the West
Allis grounds September 10, but will
issue invitations to all state officers
and members of the legislature to ac-
company the board on tour of the
grounds at a set day during the COM
ing fair to inspect what has been
done with the state appropriation,
what is intended to be done with the
$4,000 accruing next year and to see
what further appropriation may be
necessary from the next legislature to
carry out the plans now maturing for
the beautifying of the state fair park
and making state reservation of it.
Every member of congress from
Wisconsin will also be invited to be
present, as it is the intention to secure
through congressional action what
ever of favor or encouragement the
agricultural department a: Washing
ton may be able to extend to such a
fair. 1t is hoped the Wisconsin dele
cation will be able to get through a
bill providing for national aid, to be
extended on percentage basis, to the

lence in each department, as for ex-

East Troy Takes Lead.


The August butter and cheese scor-
ing exhibition at the dairy depart
ment of the college of agriculture,
University of Wisconsin, included an
average number of entries of good
quality considering the difficulty of
manufacture during the summer sea-
son. The principal defects in the
butter were oily and greasy favors
with weak bodies.
The five highest scores were: G. P.
Sauer, East Troy, 96.33; Fl. c. Raven,
Bloomer, $500; B. A. Haas, McFar-
land, 1856; o. J. Groth, Cedarburg,
$500; and F. r. Raven, Bloomer,
$500. The highest score of this exhibit
was 96.33; the lowest $3.50 and the
average 91.51. The highest moisture
content was 1874; the lowest lilo and
the average 1872.
The principal defects found in the
August exhibit of July cheese were
poor fiavors, dry and acid body with
loose and open texture.
The three highest scores in Ameri-
can cheese were: Robert Hauman,
Two Rivers, 95.93; ]. A. Fuller, Lam
caster 95.16; F. w. Schneider, Kiel,
94.33. In brick cheese: w. G. Stei-
ger, Greenwood, 94.S3; G. Anderegg,

Must Recognize Labor's Demands.


The effects of lower rates for street
railway, electric light, gas, water, and
telephone service upon the condition
of wage earners in these industries,
under the public utility law, have
been made the subject of special in
vestigation by Don d. Lescohier, a
graduate student in the University of
Wisconsin, the results of which form
his thesis for the degree of doctor of
philosophy. The state bureau of labor
and industrial statistics, for which he
has been acting as special agent, has
just published his work as a part of
the thirteenth biennial report of the
bureau.
The public utility law, the writer
points out, allows the railroad COM
mission to compel public utility COM
panies to charge reasonable prices, "A
reasonable price being the cost of the
commodity with just profit on in
vested capital added. When a price
is once established the employer can
not increase wages or shorten hours
without a sacrifice of profits. This
points toward the necessity of con.
sideration of labor conditions in the
states regulation of prices. Other.
wise, in protecting the interests OF
consumers, the state will sacrifice
those of the public utility employees.

sponsibility there may be for criticism

Warden Rickeman has the new
