For Larear WauSau

The best bargain is the one that
gives you the most for your money, if
the thing you buy is something you
need. Wausau people need two
things badly the coming summer.
They need dry street crossings and
their garbage removed. Both needs
can be easily and very cheaply sup
piled.
Another absolute need is a regula-
tion by ordinance Of all barns where
horses or COWS are kept. More than
nine-tenths Of the house flies are bred
In horse manure. In cities that are
successfully fighting this great typhoid
carrion, the house fly, all manure bins
are required under heavy penalties to
be kept covered during the summer
with wire screen so that the young
flies cannot escape from them. Thus
imprisoned they die very soon of
starvation. This means of prevention
is so cheap that it costs less than
nothing. The livery barn proprietor
or other owner of horses who thus
screens the manure receives more
than the cost, by saving his horses
from the flies that swarm about them
in the barns, constantly fostering and
fretting them.

HEAP BALLOON ESSENCE.

Several very important deals in real
estate have been made the past week
in tee air. At the same time
several monstrous buildings have been
constructed in the same way-warm
ozone. To the optimist who is con-
tinually crying ga greater Wausau'
these stories sound good and amuse;
to others they are insipid trash. Why
one night last week company bought
piece of property in the heart of the
city and erected a sky scraper on it.
But during the night the building
crumbled and fell to the ground, and
the Did owners of the property are
still doing business at the old stand.
Today big company bought the
Lemke property, corner Jackson and
Fourth streets, and built big build
ing or it. If you don't believe it
We'll show you the blacksmith shop
at the rear end of the property.

AND now we are going TO know all
about who are the moulders of pub
lie opinion in our state in the future.
There is bill in the legislature max
ing it necessary for every newspaper
in Wisconsin to publish a list of its
stockholders. This is absolutely right
and a just bill. Every other copora-
tion does not hesitate to make known
its stockholders and why should not
the newspapers? The stockholders of
a paper have much larger response
bility resting upon them. To illus
trate: Jackson & Brown own paper.
For everything published in their
paper, they are held responsible.
Then why not hold the stockholders
Of a paper responsible If the paper
advocates a certain brand of politics;
is for certain state, county, or munci-
pal measures; is against labor; is in
favor of prohibition, ETC., why those
are the sentiments of its stockholders;
if a stakeholder is not in accord with
the policy of his paper he should get
out. By all means let us have pub
Lefty in corporation papers.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-02-28

There is now before the legislature
a bill amending certain laws so that
daily papers will not have an unfair
advantage over weekly papers. AS it
is now the Information to Voters"
general and primary election notices,
petitions for liquor licenses, and
other notices, must be inserted in a
daily paper provided there is one pub
lished i'm city or town and that the
highest legal rate shall be paid for
such publication. This is discrimina-
ton with vengeance. The legisla-
ture might as well say that all goods
for county asylum shall be purchased
at department store if there be one
in the county, and fix the prices for
the same double what would have to
be paid elsewhere. If our law makers
have the right to pass such unjust
and discriminating laws they will
have the right to say that all legal
notices, all ordinances and municipal
printing, shall be given to a daily
paper if there be one published in
a town.
Weekly papers, how do you like
this? Isn't it about time to call a
halt on the despicable work of the
wisconsin League of Daily Papers p
The laws say, for instance, that
the Information to Voters" shall be
published in two papers representing
the parties casting the largest votes, y
in city for municipal election and
in a county for general election. In
Marathon county when bids were
asked for county work, there were
only two democratic papers and some
six or eight republican papers. The
democratic papers had chance to
bid on all the work and the informa-
ton TO voters vert down to $1,000.
The republican papers could not bid
and the only daily raked in $4,000
for the same work. How do you like
it, you other republican papers
Don't you think it is about time to
make howl and do something for
yourselves? A daily paper can be
started in any little town, and be-
cause of the discriminating laws,
swipe the printing from the weekly
paper.
Let every weekly paper in Wiscon-
sin write to his senator and assembly
man to vote for the bill amending
certain laws that will give all pub
fishers an equal show.
Every saloon keeper in Wisconsin
living in town where a daily is
printed, now has to pay the highest
legal rate for publishing his applica'
tion for a license, because Of the pres
ent very dishonest and discriminating
law
