LAW A PUZZLE TO
STATE POLITICIANS
New Statute TangIes Choice OF
National Delegates.
Is EFFECTIVE AT LATE DATE
Reapportionment Act Becomes Law
But One Day Previous to Primary
and Question Arises as to Proper
Procedure for Candidates.

Madison. Politicians are dis
turbed just now over the interpreta-
ton OF the law passed by the last
legislature providing for party cleo
rions of delegates to- national conven-
items. The law provides that the
election shall take place at the time
of the judicial elections, which is the
first Tuesday in April, It is further
provided that the law shall not be-
come effective until April i, 1912,
and as that falls on Monday it is
just one day before election day.
The perplexing feature of the law
is that it is required that to be a can
didate at that election for delegate to
a party national convention one must
secure signatures to, a petition in or
der that his name may be placed on
the ballot for the, election. Whether
those signatures shall be secured in
the congressional district in which
the candidate seeks election at the
time of the circulation of his papers
for the nomination or in the district
as it will be on election day, is the
disturbing question.
The> cOncensus Of opinion about
Madison is that the districts as they
are to be after April / is the proper
geographical division for candidates
in circulating their petitions, though
there are those who are Of contrary
opinion

BOARD COMBINE. PROPOSED
Agricultural Body Believes Several of
State Commissions Overlap in
Performance of Functions.

Madison.-At a meeting Of the
Wisconsin state board of agriculture,
held here, it was decided to try and
have many of the present boards
and commissions having to- do with
state affairs united into one commits
sion. The various bodies which would
be thus combined are the state board
of public affairs. the state board of
agriculture, the state board of immi-
grafton, the dairy and food commits
sion, the forestry department, the
farmers Institutes. All of these
bodies overlap one on the other more
or less and it is believed more effec-
tive work could be done if all were
combined In addition to this, it is
proposed that the supervision of
county affairs should be vested in the
same commission. A bill to this. eff
feet will be drafted and introduced
in the next legislature.
The financial report presented
showed that the state fair of 1911
cost $115, O12.67. The state fair of
1910 cost $96,12649. The state fair
of 1909 cost $1O4,935.78. The total
expenses for the fair of 1911 were
$119, 27967 and the receipts $114,-
6277O The deficit is $4,651.97.
The outstanding bills are $5,293.-
81, with outstanding collections at
$685. So, leaving S4,7281S still to be
paid. There is balance in the gem
eraT fund of the board OF $1,012. Is,
which leaves $3,716.03 that will have
to be taken out of the state appropri-
alton of $3.50 when that comes
due on the first of the year. This
will leave the board with a balance
of f,28397 to begin work for the
fair of 1912

BLIND; SUCCEEDS ON FARM
Former Chicago Alderman Prospers
in Northern Wisconsin, Where He
Went After Losing Sight.

Marinette- an office build
ing in Dearborn street, Chicago, to
Athelstane, Wis, is a far cry, but
not marked SO much by miles as by
contrast This is the experience of
Charles Fl. Rector, formerly an al
derman of the old Thirty-fourth
ward, Chicago, who, although handi-
capped by the affliction of blindness
and burdened by the care of six chill
dren, has built up home in the wild
and has established a reputation as
one of the most successful farmers
in northern Wisconsin.
Mr.. Rector was an alderman in
Chicago for six years and was en-
gagged in business as house nTov-
ing contractor. His activity in bust
ness and political affairs resulted in
a strain which was destined to
change the whole course of his life
and transplant him from the mad
whirl of the loop to- the grim calm of
the primeval forest.
One hot day in July, as Mr.. Rec
tor was walking ON La Sale STREET,
he suddenly was stricken blind. Not
Withstanding his affliction, he con-
tinued to- manage his important bust
ness interests, but it was not long
after this before he heard the call of
the wild and moved his family to- a
900 acre tract of virgins forest, now
known as. Athelstane, Wis.
With great diligence. he applied
himself to the upbuilding of home
and the improvement of his lands,
and with such success that he has
today 100 acres of land cleared and
under cultivation and a home which
rivals city establishments, for COM
fort and convenience.

The rate of apportioEment for each
person of school age residing in the
state on the thirtieth day of June,
1911, outside of the cities of the first
class, was S2,6S3 The rate of ap-
portionment for each person Of
school age residing in cities of the
first class was $2,7S3 for 16,733
persons of school age.
The total number of children re-
ported is ninety-six less than the to-
tai number reported as residing in
the state on the thfrtieth day Of
June, 1910, owing to the fact that it
has been necessary to withhold aid
from five school districts in the state
for failure to comply with section
SIS, chapter 1883, laws of 1907,
amount S256.37.
The total amount of money appor-
toned will be S706S1, plus $256.37,
less than the amount required for
the total number of persons at the
per capitas named, for the reason
that it has been found necessary to
deprive five districts, totaling 294
persons of school age, of their right
to share in the distribution of the
seven-tenths mill tax as provided in
chapter $50, laws of 1909.
