WHEN IMPERIOUS Caesar con
quered all Gaul he Travelled either upon
horseback or in a jolting, springless
cart which no farmer in this day would
care to own Neither Caesar nor any
of the despots who preceded and fol
lowed him We're possessed of half the
physical comforts that are to be found
in every farmhouse in the land today.
Let us rejoice, brethren, that We are
the rich heirs of all the ages. 1t is a
long stride from Caesars chariot and
cart to the twentieth century limousine,
but we have taken it. 1t is long
reach from the crooked stick drawn by
a bullock to the modern twelve-furrow
gang pillow, but we have spanned it.
The luxuries of yesterday have become
the utilities of to-day, and there is no
new invention or discovery that is not
ultimately placed within easy reach of
every farmer. Surely we can say that
our lines have fallen in pleasant places,
and we have a goodly heritage.

THE WAY COLORADO is quitting
it over' all other sections in the east
eYn land and irrigation shows should
be enough to touch the pride of the
most lukewarm of our citizens. We
do not realize what wonderful possibi
lities lie within the boundaries of our
own state until we see the best that
can be produced in the whole country
forced to take back seat by the Colo
RADIO products. Don't forget that we
have the depth and strength of soil and
the climate conditions that make for
the best products to be found any
where on earth. Wherever we go and
with whoever we enter into competi-
ton we make them all sit up and take
notice and to think that in the past
year in the eastern land shows Colo
RADIO products have carried off more
prizes than all others combined we can
easily be pardoned if we exhibit lit
tie state pride.

Concluded from Page 81

fore the legislature makes all kinds OF
employers, big as well as little, re-
spOnsible for damages in case OF ac-
cidents and sweeps away important
defenses now open to the employer.
'Wilfull misconduct" on the part OF
the injured employe alone exempts the
employer from liability.
Legislators generally understand the
proposal, and some Of the folks back

keen interest to the limitless zone Of
the measure as it applies TO all classes
of employers. Sentiment is favorable
to some kind of a workmen's com
pensation law-that is plain-but in
some quarters there appears to be an
active opposition to the present sweep
ing measure.
A distinct feature Of progressive
legislation is the joint hearing prae-
tice that has been inaugurated here.
This is in line with Wisconsin's de-
sire to suppress as much as possible
any secret work by the third house.
Under the present scheme tentative
bills are presented for public discus
sion. By the time these discussions
have been brought to a close all
phases of the measure have been dis

to be said in committee meetings,
where. in the old days the lobbyist
got in his best strokes The effec-
tivesness OF this scheme already is
apparent. Fewer lobbyists are regis
tered than ever before and there is
little of the old-style quiet button
hole work being done. Large inter-
ests desiring to prevent views In OPP
position to important measures, like
workmen's compensation and income
tax, appreciate the situation and are
trying to make the best of it.
Instead of employing good takers
and big spenders to work on the out
side, they are sending attorneys to
Wisconsin to appear at the joint hear
ings. These attorneys are extended
the privilege of addressing the legis-
lature and when they close their ar
gument, the legislators reserve the
right to ask questions The result to
