NATIONAL GUARD.
desire to bring to your attention two
matters connected with the national
guard.
The appropriations made to the ma
tional guard are Intended for the rnainte-
nance of the organization. The adJutant
generals office plans the mode Of hand
ling the guard by the use of this appro-
priation The expense when companies
of the guard are called out for riot duty
is heavy. Its uncertainty and possibility
render IL almost impossible to intelli-
gently plan theAuse of the fixed appropri-
alton.
The riot duty expense should be paid
from the contingent fund or made spe-
cial fund designated for the purpose
in the appropriation, and the department
should know what will be available Tor
general expenses.
That part of the work of the national
guard which consists of escorting de-
PENDANTS to trial and staying around the
court house at the trial seems TO me OF
doubtful propriety. The trial of crlml-
nal In community so excited that the
national guard is necessary to preVen'
violence is scarcely compatible with prop
er legal procedure.
7 suggest that some provision be MADE
bv which the governor can have dis
erection as to the venue Of trials, ano
instead of sending the national guard 70

where the crime was committed, the gov
ernor should be authorized to nold the
defendant and direct that the trial be mao

INSURANCE AND BANKING LAWS
Our insurance and our banking laws
need remodeling to bring them. up 10 'ne
progress of the day and to the volume
of business now done.
I suggest that commission or two
members of the house and one memoei
of the senate be appointed with the right
TO select two experts in each of the par
ticular lines, to investigate these SUD
tects and report at the next session OF
the legislature.
CORPORATION LAWS.
Our corporation laws are In many re-
Esnects lax and imperfect. With too great
ease charters are obtained in the supe'
rior court and after they are obtained
tha companies organized are as rule
free from responsibility and supervision
or control ANY kind of scheme, merito'
rious or otherwise, can be put upon the
public. No report is required to the su
perior court or elsewhere showing tnt
manner in which the charter Is peins

being disposed of.
The result is all sorts of bogus enter
prises are being floated at the eXpehs'

NEW COUNTY HIGHWAY
Contracts to Be Let For Con-
tinuous Road from Arbor
Vitae, Through Eagle Riv-
er to Hackley---Board De-
serves Commentator.

In this issue of the News will
be seen the description of the
route of the new highway and
the notice for bids as approved
bv the county board at their
session last week. The pro-
posed county highways will start
at Arbor Vitae and proceed to
Eagle River, then on to Conover
and Hackley.
All ofthe roads will not be new,
but portions will be recon
structed and built up to specifca-
ton furnished by the board. AT
their recent meeting the COUNTY
fathers appropriated a total of
$1,000 to be spent on this pro-
posed highway. Daniel Graham
with a crew of workmen has
been busy the past month having
out the route, and with the no.
tice for bids posted, work on the
new roads will soon be started.
The action of the board in this
matter of county roads is very
commendable. No one thing
develops a country and marks its
progress more than good. we'll
kept county highways. The pro-
spective settler in looking over
new section, looks first at
county's roads and at the posi-
bilities of getting new roads that
will facilitate the handling of his
crops. To induce settlers to To-
cate here we must hav We highways
over which they can be taken
and shown the outlet of their
holdings. Our increasing sum-
ner population, one of the main
stays of this section, will also be
benefited by the building of more
and better county roads. The
appropriation granted by the
board for highway purposes
shows we'll that that body recog-
nizes the Importance of the good
roads question and their atten
ton to the matter speaks well
for Villas county.

Mr.. and Mrs. Finn LAWYER,
who are spending six weeks In
Canada and the east, last Thurs

which, while not serious 10 them

and left the Dominion Thursday
morning, by way of Cornwall
across the st. Lawrence river, to
Messcna, n Y, there to visit
Mrs. Frank Policy, who with

ger boat on its return trip in the
afternoon struck q sand bar in
the river and turned turtle,
drowning eight Of its fifty pas
sengers.
To those who were acquaint-
ed with the whereabouts of Mr..
and Mrs. Lawler in Canada, no
little anxiety was caused by the
of the disaster appearing
in the metropolis n papers, until
word from them stating the facts
was received by Eagle River peo-
pie the latter part of last week.
