which expensive buildings are made
conspicuous.
There will be three main tracks

this building and these will be COW

the building will be set off with a
gigantic marquis of structural steel.

as far as the curbing. Above this will
be placed clock three and one-half
feet across the dial.
When the building is finished, the
exterior will present an imposing
structure of Bedford stone, adorned
by it's long marquis and clock and
hemmed in by its six tracks and UNI
brella sheds. The inside, however,
will show the real pains of the &C.
signers and builders.
There will be corridor and an
immense general waiting room. The
dimensions of the latter will be rs
by so feet and the ceiling, SO feet
above the floor, will be decorated with
a heavy bas relief scroll work cast in
plaster of Paris Later these decora-
lions will be tinted but the color
scheme has not yet been decided. The
walls of this room and those of the
corridor will be wainscoted with
white marble and according to the
plans this is to be 81 feet from the

In addition to the main waiting

Prof. Edward A. Ross, sociologist of
the University of Wisconsin, who re-
Gently returned from a trip to China,
said; China would not be anywhere
near her present condition of moral
uplift and social progress were it not
for the steady and patient labors of
the missionaries.
THAT the trans-continental rail-
road construction Of China will have
an i'll effect upon the import trade of
the empire is my firm belief" said
Prof. Ross. 1.-The acquisition of cheap
transportation will open up a wide
area of what fields in the interior
provinces. The coast cities, which
are now importing a large per cent
of their wheat and -four, will be able
to draw from the interior, and the
price of flour. which is now about one

that Is just what a score or more
people on Main street in Fond du

order to warn the crowds at cor

Mat Michels, owner of a big farm

VOTERS To PASSION
REEAMENOMENTS
CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES ARE
PROPOSED AT ELECTION
THIS MONTH.
DOUBLE PAY OF LEGISLATORS
New Apportionment Method and Pro-
vision for Internal improvements
by State to Be Considered
by Citizens.

Madison.-Three proposals tC
amend the constitution of Wisconsin
will be submitted to the voters of the
state On the ballot at the November
election.
They are as follows:
No. 1--Relating to pay of mem
bers of the legislature
No. 2-Relating to appOrtionment
No. 3-Relating to internal i'm.
provements
Amendment No. provides for the
amendment of section 81 of article 4
raising the pay of members of the
legislature from $500 to 900 per
annum. The original constitutional
provision was for the payment of
members of the Legislature, senators
and assemblymen, at the rate of
$3.50 per day for each days attend
ance during the season and ten cents
per mile for every mile he shall travel
in going to and returning from the
place of meeting.
That was the provision until 1881
when the constitution was amended
by making the sessions Of the legis-
lature biennial instead of annual and
fixing the compensation of members
at $500 for the biennial term with
the original provision for mileage
From that time the compensation Of
members has remained as so fixed
The purpose Of amendment No. .
Is really to provide a way to abandon
the state census and accept the decen-
NAL census of the national govern
ment as the basis of apportionment
of members of the legislature The
proposal now submitted will require
an apportionment only once in ten
years. The amendment submitted on
the ballot is as follows:
Section 3. At their first session
after each enumeration made by the
authority of the United States. the
legislature shall apportion and dis
trict anew the members of the senate
and assembly, according to the num-
Der of inhabitants, excluding Indians
not taxed, soldiers and officers of the
United States army and navy"
The third proposition to be sub
mitted is for the purpose of permit
ting the legislature to appropriate
money for certain specified internal
~" lol ny Inv
fundamental law.
The constitution now provides that
the state shall never contract any
debt for works of internal improve
ment or be party in carrying on
such works. The legislature, having
in mind the conservation of natural
resources, proposed an amendment
which will do away with this obstacle
as it relates at least to the class of
internal improvements or betterment.
provided that the state may ap-
propriate moneys for the purpose of
acquiring, preserving and developing
the water power and the forests of
the state: but there shall not be APP
propriated under the authority of
this section in any one year an
amount to exceed two-tenths of one
mill OF the taxable property of the
state as determined by the last pre-
ceding state assessment
These amendments all are sub
mitted on the big ballot for the No
vember election and must be voted
for separately by Eyes" or mo" in
squares printed on the ballot forthat
purpose.
