La CrOsse.-"There are some people
running for Office in Wisconsin who
ought to be in the peniteniary," is the
statement made by Senator Thomas
Morris, member of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate and report upon
the Stephenson campaign expenses.
Subpoenas signed in blank and
placed in the hands OF the Investigate
ing committee are still in existence,
and it seems from the attitude adopt
ed by Senator Morris, who led the in
vestigation inquiry, that the specter of
campaign expenses will rise to haunt
some of the Badger politicians during
the pending primary campaign in the
state.
eve will not file our report" said
the senator, until we have completed
our investigation.
While he would not say what plans
the committee has for further investi-
cation of alleged illegal campaign ex-
penses, it is indicated further prob
ing is contemplated, and that the mat
ter will be sprung on the regular
organization, during the primary cam
paign, during which the administra-

ASK NEW UTILITY LAW.
Railroad Commission Says Companies
Should Surrender Franchises.

Madison.-The annual report of the
railroad commission of Wisconsin
filed with the governor tonight shows
LAO cases disposed of in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1909, 302 of
which were complaints of formal ma
ture. Only two decisions were ap-
pealed to the courts for review, and
each was upheld by the supreme court.
Concerning the right under the law
of the utilities to surrender franchises
and accept indeterminate permits, the
commission believes the law should
be made mandatory, holding that reg
ulation by the commission accom-
plishes more good than can be OBJ
tanned by the corporations under limit
ed franchises.
The reports show many abuses rem
edied through investigation begun
under the informal complaints, max
ing the hearings and exhaustive sta
tistical work unnecessary when the
matters complained Of were taken up
informally with the utility, whose
service is complained of.
Concerning it's investigation of the
Milwaukee street car service the re-
port makes the remark that passen-
gers in the Cream City as a rule "are
