Business of State Banks Grows.

An increase of over $1,000, 900 in the
business of state banks of Wisconsin
is shown in a comparative statement
issued by Commissioner of Banking NJ.
c. Bergh, covering the period of ten
weeks prior to January 81, 1910.
Ten ne@ banks were established dur
ing that period, bringing the total up
to 1888 This caused a large increase
in the total capital stock. Deposits of
various kinds, including checking ac-
counts, demand and time certificates
and savings, deposits increased in the
aggregate almost 100000 during the
ten weeks covered by the compilations.
This is one of the most remarkable in
creases of deposits ever shown by
Wisconsin banks and indicates en-
phatically the present prosperity of
the commonwealth.
Loans and discounts increased over
100000 Surplus funds grew sub
stantially. Decrease in liabilities un-
der the head Of undivided profits in
the sum Of $S45,7 indicates that
the bankers ayailed themselves of the
opportunity offered by multiplying de-
posts to divide the profits which ac-
crue in the business.

INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Beino Taught the Nature and
Methods of Prevention OF
tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods of prevention OF
tuberculosis is being given to less
than six per cent. of the public school
children of the United States, accord
ing TO a bulletin of ,he National ASsO-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. Recent investigation
has shown that in only nine cities,
Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond,
Va. Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Detroit,
Mich. Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass
Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis In three states and one territory,
Michigan Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods OF pre-
vention of tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department Of education has re-
uuested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this pur-
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia wall cards giving instruction
are hung In every schoolroom and the
attention of all children is called to
them.

FIGHT
IN HIGH COURT
Supreme Justices Hear Argu-
ments in Van AIStine Case.
TEST VALIDITY OF THE ACT
Justices Frequently interrupt Attor-
neys with Interrogations-Appel-
Iants Raise Five Points Of
constitutionality.

Madson.-The supreme court or
Wisconsin heard arguments in the
case of A. b. Van Alstine of Outa-
game county to restrain Secretary OF
State ]. A. Frear and State Treasurer
A. Fl. Dahl from auditing and paying
warrants for expenditures in accord
ance with the provisions of the pri-
mary election law The complainant
alleges that the law is unconstitutional
The argument consumed nearly five
hours. All of the members of the
court were present except Associate
Justice w. II. Timlin, who was called
from the city on account of a death OF
a relative.
The six sitting justices frequently
interrupted the attorneys with interrog-
atories regarding points raised, but
both sides seemed well prepared, and
to the best of their ability answered
the questions.
Attorneys Charles F. Lamb of Madi-
son, w. d. Thompson of Racine and j.
Elmer Lehr of Appleton appeared for
the complainant, and Attorney General
Frank L. Gilbert and Deputy Attorney
General T. NJ. Kearny of Racine was
of counsel for Van Alstine, Russell
Jackson for the state officers. The
courtroom was filled with interested
spectators, mostly from the state uni
versity.
The court adjourned to March IS
when a decision in the case is ex-
pected.
The complaint alleges that the law
is unconstitutional for the following
reasons:
First-Because the act in question
has no validity unless it is in force
and effect by virtue of legislative
power delegated by the legislature to
the voters of this state.
Second-Because the act in question
is a general law and was never pub
lished after its final approval by the
voters of this state.
Third-Because the act in question
abridges the right of the people peace
ably to assemble and consult for the
common good.
Fourth-Recause tie act in question
unlawfully and unreasonably limits the
rights of candidates for office in secur-
ing support from voters and the rights
of voters to participate in the selection
Of candidates for office.
Fifth-Because the act in question
operates to coerce the judgment and
discretion of the legislature in choos-
ing United States senator's, and unlaw-
fully regulates the mann"r of choos-
cure their election by popular vote
