Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1911-02-17
Many New Bills Are introduced.

So many new measures have
been dumped into the legislative
mill that no attempt has been made
to look all of them over owing to
the new method in vogue of
receiving them and bringing them
back for formal introduction
after they have been through the
hands of the revision clerks How
ever, the effects of this change will
be seen later in the session, for this
scheme insures correct drafting OF
bills in accordance with the statutes
and makes less trouble for the vari-
GUS committees, which can therefore
go directly into the merits of all
measures.
large number of bills relating to
the liquor problem are due before
tuesdays session has been adjourned.
Most OF these have been drawn by
persons connected with the Anti-Sa-
loon league, although representatives
of the brewers and the retail liquor
dealers also have a number to offer
through members who are noted for
their beliefs in the doctrine of per
sonal liberty
The state tax commission has trans
mitted to the governor and the pre-
siding officers of both houses its spe-
c1al report on the taxation of life in
surance companies and bill covering
its recommendations
The bill proposes a novel form of
taxation and provides for the pay
ment by companies doing business in
Wisconsin, except lodge and fraternal
societies, of a license fee to be fixed
at a rate Of five per cent on part
of their gross incomes, the part
taxed to be determined by the rela-
tive proportion between the Wiscon-
sin insurance in force and total
amount Of the insurance in force.
This bill of course would make the
proportion of it's income, for instance,
on which the Northwestern Mutual of
Milwaukee would pay, quite heavy,
for the reason that a very integral
portion of it's total business is in
Wisconsin. On the other hand, it
would probably raise the amounts
which outside or foreign companies
would have to pay. This would in
crease the retaliatory taxes of the
Northwestern-which is the only COM
pany really 1000, &C.
cording to the report.

Alps for the winter sports, and the

State Fair Board Elects New Head.

State Fair Board Elects New Head.
The old crowd, which for many
years has absolutely controlled the
state fair board, had their hold
loosened and were badly shaken up
by the outcome at the first meeting of
the new board at the meeting.
Charles ]. Hill of Rosendale was
elected president Of the state board
of agriculture defeating George Nc
Kerrow. Mr.. Hill was named on the
first formal ballot. j. J. Nelson was
elected vice president on the first bal
lot
John M. True of Baraboo, for the
last thirteen years secretary of the
board, who resigned to accept the Of
flee of state senator, will be succeeded
by r. w. Rowlands of Genesee.
Little difficulty was experienced in
electing the board of managers for
the state fair The balloting resulted
in the election Of C. l.. Hill. J. ]. Mel
son, Grant u. Fisher, o. G. Rewey
and George McKerrow.
Aside from the election of officers
an important decision made by the
board was to open the 1911 state fair
on Tuesday instead of Monday and
end it on Saturday instead of Friday

Discusses Country Schools.
AS the result of hearing on
the various bills proposed by the
special committee on education, it is
likely that the bill to make the office
Of county superintendent appointive
by a county board of education in
stead Of elective will pass. The hear
ing was we'll attended and Inspector
Of Rural Schools Larson in an adj
dress, declared that the country
school must be reorganized to teach
country life to the country boy. He
denounced the course of study which
includes only 'book-learning, and de-
clared that Caesar and poems 200
years old were out of date, for which
declaration he was roundly applauded
by the members.
simultaneously a hearing was 60
ing on, on the industrial insurance
bill, representatives of manufacturers
making a last effort to secure
amendments which are opposed
by the proponents of the meas
ure. 1t was announced at the hearing
that the Equity News, the off cial
organ of the Wisconsin branch OF the
farmers society, will circulate broad
cast among the farmers an editorial
calculated to disburse the minds of
the agricultural population of the
idea that the measure is inimical to
their interests.

this city, will this week go to the Great
Wicomico river. Va, to inspect the wreck

reported as being menace to the safety
of vessels passing to and from Election

The Itinerant was well known bay
vessel and was frequent visitor to this

THE DANCER OF
RHEUMATISM

The danger OF Rheumatism is in
temporizing in the treatment, or fall
ing to realize the powerful nature of
the trouble. If the blood is allowed
to remain infected with uric acid,
Rheumatism soon becomes chronic,
and then, if not checked, it some
times makes complete physical
wrecks of its victims by permanently
stiffening the joints and seriously in
terfering with the, bodily nerve force.
External applications will often tenn
porarily relieve Rheumatic pains. but
do not reach the blood where the
cause is located, and to depend en-
tirely upon such treatment is a very
dangerous thing to do. ). 5. S.
cures Rheumatism by removing every
particle OF the cause and purify .ng
the blood 1t filters out of the circu-
lation every trace of the sour, in
f}ammatory matter. cools the acid
heated nerves, causes natural and
healthy nourishment through the
blood to all muscles. joints and bones
and perfectly cures Rheumatism i'll Ill
its forms. S. S. S. does this great
work because it is the greatest of all
blood purifiers. acting directly on the
source OF disease. Our special book
on Rheumatism and any medical adj
vice will be sent free to all who write.
S. S. S. is for sale at drug stores.
