Frear pefends state Economv.

Frear Defends State Economy.
In a speech at the annual Wood
men reunion and field day. at Madison
Secretary of State James A. Frear
made answer to a recent charge Of
E. L. Phillip of Milwaukee that the
state has suffered in past years by
reason of extravaganza in the admin
istration of its affairs, the charge be-
ing aimed more particularly at Sec
rotary Frear.
The celebration here was unique
from the fact that political candidates
of every party invited to be present
and many accepted the invitation.
Secretary Frear was the chief speak
er of the day. In a statement which
was non-political in its nature, Mr.
Frear cited particularly the fact that
the reform laws affecting taxation of
public service corporations and insur-
ance companies had enabled the state
to remit millions of dollars TO tax
payers, and, at the same time. carry
on all the business of the state with
out the imposition Of a state tax for
any purpose. except the small mill
tax for graded schools. Beginning in
1903 state taxes were RENTED an
nually
The record of state finances under
progressive legislation in recent
years has placed Wisconsin in the
forefront of all states" said Secre-
tary Frear SO far as can be ascer-
tanned, no other state has handled its
fund to better advantage or with
greater economy in the conduct of
administrative expenses.
"A pamphlet against political re-
form in Wisconsin has been given
some publicity and exploited for po-
litical purposes. In order to correct
erroneous conclusions that have been
drawn, few facts are presented from
the state records and the same years
of 1899 and 1908 are used in compari-
son, as these years are the ones used
in the pamphlet
1t should be understood that state
administration expenses are all paid
out of the taxes ard licenses received
from corporations and other sources
of state revenues, but that no STATE
taxes we're levied during the ten-year
period named, excepting for educa-
tional purposes. The reform law
which changed the method of railway
taxation. passed in 1908, together with
other recent laws, materially in
creased the state revenues"

An action was begun in the circuit
court of Dane county before Judge E.
Ray Storms, on behalf of the state, for
the issuance of temporary order re-
straining the American Refractories
company, an Illinois corporation
from blasting and otherwise disfgur-
ing and destroying the natural condi-
tons and landscape on a certain 80
acres of land at Devils lake, owned
by that corporation, until suit in con-
sdemnation by the state park board,
begun in the circuit court for Sank
county, may be determined.
The land in question is wanted by
the state park board for park pur-
poses, to complete it's plans at Devils
lake, but the corporation demands an
excessive price, claiming that the
rock there contains a peculiar ele-
ment valuable in the operation of its
busir ess, that of making glazed
brick. To secure the property the
park board finds itself confronted
with the necessity of condemnation
and in order that the work of disfig
urement of the landscape may not be
continued, pending the suit, this ac-
ton for restraining order is started
H. L. Butler of Madison appeared
for the corporation, and Deputy Attor-
ney General Russell Jackson for the
state. August II has been set for the
hearing. The constitutionality of the
state park board law may be at
tackled.

State to Count Marriages.

State to Count Marriages.
The state is going to check up the
marriages in Wisconsin from October
l, 1907, to December 81, 1909, for the
county clerks are receiving letters
from Madison from the ofTice of the
board of vital statistics instrueting
them to send in the stubs of all the
marriage licenses granted.
When the law was changed taking
away from the register of deeds in
the various counties the filing of
births. deaths, accidents and mar
riages with them and ordering that
these statistics be filed with the state
direct in the future, there was an
amendment to the 1907 laws PASSED,
ordering the clerks to make stubs of
all marriage licenses issued and re-
tain them so that the state could get
the stubs for checking up the licenses
The ministers, judges and justices
of the peace are now required to send
in all the marriage records to the
state. The state now desires to find
out if they have been complying with
the letter of the law and for this rea-
son asks for the stubs.
Some county clerks have failed to
keep an accurate record of the mar
riages licenses issued by them and
will be up against it,

K1LLED IM,fENsE EAGLE

Fargo, Oct. II. An eagle, one of
the few ever seen or shot in Cass
county, was killed last Sunday after
noon by Hermann Johnke mead Addi-
son. The bird was huge one and
measures seven feet, tip to tip, when
its wings are outstretched. It
weighs eighteen pounds. Mr.. Johnke
has sent the bird to- his brother, Otto
Johnke in Fargo for mounting.
Eagles are exceptionally rare in
this section Of the county. Several
persons who have looked at the bird
state that it is the first one they have
ever seen. An old residenter in Far
go, who is familiar with the natural
history of North Dakota and the
western part Of northern Minnesota,
stated today that he could not re-

eagles appearance in this section Of

the first shot but was compelled to
follow It a mile and ire seven shots
before It was killed. y.

duty to consolidate our vote for Hon.

Mr.. Hanna's legislature record has
been on the side of all temperance

Cashel, democrat, at the June prim-
aries received 6,735 votes; Purcell,
democrat, at the June primaries re-
ceived 4,466 votes.
Who did the governor appoint,
Thomas Marshall, "the candidate re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
at the general election regardless of
politics?"
Emphatically no.
He appointed his personal friend,
Fountain L. Thompson, a man whose
name had never been mentioned in
connection with the senatorship, and
who was unknown and untried in
public life.
Later when Senator Thompson re-
signed, who did Gov. Burke appoint?
Thomas F. Marshall, "the candidate
receiving the highest number of
votes at the general election regard
less of politics?
Emphatically no.
: He appointed w. E. Purcell, the
candidate who received the least num-
Der of votes at the primary election.
Both these men selected by Gov.
Burke were democrats.
The governor paid no attention to
the choice of the people as expressed
at either the June primaries or the
general election.

act?

GRONNA and HANNA
WILL MAKE TRIP IN WESTERN
J . 4 PART OF STATE. STAND
ING BY PRIMARY NOM
s. INEES

~ It. is understood that Congressman
Gronna and Hanna will make tour
of. the western part of the state, and
speak at republican meetings. The
first meeting of this kind was held
at. Grand Focks chis week, and was
addressed by Congressman Gronna,
nominee for the senate. In his
speech he took up at length the ac-
tion of the governor in the appoint
ment following the death of M. N.
Johnson and used the governors ac-
tiOn at that time to prove his point
that he would act as democrat al
ways and that the republicans of the
state should see that the majority
rules by electing the republican can
didate. Is
AS showing the get-together-spirit
that now prevails in Grand Forks
county, and the increasing sentiment
for ratifying the nominations made
at the primary election, by electing
the entire ticket. Sec'y. Devine Of
the republican committee, says:
"1f the law disrupts party, it is
certain of being frowned upon, and to
prove that it is a good law, republi-
cans, stalwarts and progressives a.
like, should stand by its operation in
the recent primary"
Republicans throughout. the state
see the primary election law, the re-
form measure put upon the statue
books, by republicans is, to great
extent, at stake in the election. If
the people are to make the selection
of candidates undr the primary law,
every good citizen and fair minded
republicans will stand by the major
ity will, or the law should be re-
pealed. This seems to be a reas-
enable view to take of the situation.
