Pension Roll DiminiSheS.

Capt. F. H. Madgeburg, federal
pension agent at Milwaukee, in his
annual report for the fiscal year,
gives the following significant
figures:
The number of pensioners on the
rolls of the Milwaukee agency is
453o2. On November 80, 1910,
the number was 46,5oo. Thus
there has been q loss of 1907. Dur
ing the last fiscal year 1908 pen
sioners were claimed by death and
63 dropped from the pension rolls
for other reasons. Transfers from
other agencies numbered 335. The
agency's territory includes Wis
consin, Minnesota and North and
South Dakota.
During the year ending Novem-
Der 80, the agency paid out 49,
I66, oo2 az, which was SIo5,ooo.88
less than the previous year. Should
the same ratio of decrease continue
for the next few years, there will
be no pensioners, but the PROBABLE
tiles are, that there will be far
greater death loss each year from
now until all the veterans of the
civil war have joined their COM
rades on the other side of the
boundary line between time and
eternity.

Move In Right Direction

Three weeks ago, the Leader sug-
gested that the boundaries of the wards
in this city be changed and six more
wards be created, that Watertown have
larger representation on the county
boards of supervisors in jefferson
and Dodge counties. The suggestion
received the hearty approval of all, and
at the meeting of the common council
Tuesday evening, a message from
Mayor CRUDE was read calling attention
to the ACCESSIBILITY of creating six new
wards by changing the boundry lines of
the seven wards as now constituted, four
new wards in jefferson county and
two new ones in Dodge county, so that
Watertown might have an equal repre-
sentatien on the respective boards with
other localities. He also, thought it
advisable that each of the thirteen wards
be allowed one alderman and the writer
would suggest that an additional alder
man be elected at large who shall be
president of the council We now
have fourteen aldermen and no addi-
tional expense would be incurred. The
message was placed on file and a reso-
luton adopted authorizing the mayor
to have census of the city taken by
ward divisions that an ordinance might
be passed by the council submitting the
question of the changes proposed to
the voters of the city at a municipal
or general election.

A Riot of Extravaganza.

Secretary of State Frear has is
sued a statement showing the in
crease of public expenditures as
compared with the state expendi-
lures in 1900. The disbursements
tor 1900 were s4,636,o47.oo and
for 1910 they had crawled up to
50, 782,45o.5S. More than doubled
during the reform" period when
great promises were made and none
fulfilled. One of the most notice
able increases in expenditures is
the state un;versity-a hotbed of
extravaganza. In 1900 before re-
form it cost the taxpayers $685.
2oo.6o and by 1910 had crawled
up to 81 $3.50, 900. 80 to maintain a
propaganda for reform and reform
candidates. During the period
mentioned. boards and commissions
have been created to furnish places
for political heelers and the private

Reason for Rejoicing.

Next Monday, December IS, the
christian people all over the world
will commemorate the advent into
the world of the noblest, grandest
and best man that ever appeared
on the earth, Jesus the Christ, the
son of God, who came in sinful
flesh, although sirless, to make
himself appreciate to mortals,
that he might be way-shower to
those in bondage to sensual sense,
that they might escape from such
bondage by putting off the man of
sin and obtaining eternal life, by
following in the footsteps of the
Great Examplar.
1t should be a day of spiritual
rejoicing, that the great plan of
atonement was universal in its APP
plication, and that all, through the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ might OBJ
tain pardon and salvation. The
day should be observed in spirit
of good cheer, but free from all
that contributes to the demands
and satisfaction of the mortal, so
that all may sing, GLORY to God
in the highest, Peace on Earth and
Good will toward Men,"

Cannot Rob a Man.

Judge Grimm has decided an
important case relative to what
may be charged by city for the
daily fee for transient merchants
who go into small city with a
stock of goods and remain but a
few weeks selling at bargain sales
and then move away. 1t is lmpor-
tant as it has a bearing on all cities
in the state of the second and third
class.
A so-called transient merchant
who refused to pay SIS per day In
Monroe was arrested and fined $50
and costs by justice of the peace
in that city and he appealed the
case to the circuit court and it
came before Judge Grimm who
handed down decision of which
the following is synopsis:
Under the facts and circum-
stances in the case the amount OF
the per diem fees as fixed by the
ordinance is not a reasonable ex-
ercise of the power granted by the
laws of the state, for the.very plain
reason, if for no other, that it is
exorbirant and prohibitory. He
stated further that the power to
prohibit by means of an excessive
and exorbitant license fee, except
when applied to occupations dam
gerous TO public health, morals
or the general welfare; that a
license fee upon any occupation
of ordinary commerce must not
be such as to, under the attending
circumstances, make it impossible
for one to engage therein without
certain loss, otherwise the exaction
of the fee would operate in re-
straint of trade; that none are bet
ter able to Judge local conditions
than the constituted authorities OF
cities and villages, and for that
reason the legislature contented
itself with fixing the maximum
sum that might be required under
the most favorable circumstances
leaving the determination of what
was a reasonable sum in each par.
ticular locality to the sound discre'
ton of the local authorities under
the salutary restrictions of the
well-known rule of law that the
courts can be appealed to in al
cases where it is claimed that such
discretion has been wilfully or ig-
norantly abused; that the purpose
of the license fee is not to protect
the local merchant against ruinous
competition, although it may oper-
ate in measure to bring about
that result, but to compel him who
appropriates the benefits of organ
lied city government to pay his
just proportion toward maintaining
it: that the fee cannot be imposed
for the purpose of general revenue,
nor for the purpose of protecting
local merchants from competition:
hence the fee must be reasonable
and not so large as to be prohibit
DRY. He also decided that the only
power which a city can exercise in
such a matter is to determine by
ordinance or resolution the per
diem fee which a transient mer-
chant is to pay, leaving the en-
forcement of the payment and pen
atty in case of nonpayment, as
provided by the statute. He held
the ordinance void.
