WAS TAKING NO CHANCES

Pretty That's x, who has delighted
the audiences of New York's vaude-

Vermont to visit her sick mother. At

destination.

Encourage the Boys.
When a boy presents an idea that

encourage him, and he will develop a

hard to pay for.
If farming has not paid in your case
by all means give the 10y a chance
to begin without your handicap.
What was good enough for me is
good enough for the boy" is a maxim
unworthy of a New England farmer.

Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1911-03-03

This seems to be an age of publicity.
People are more and more demanding
access to information that has hitherto
been kept locked UP out of reach of the
masses. Departments of government
are being investigated with a view to
determining where the money goes to
and why it takes so much of it. Rail
roads and other public utility corpora.
tions are confronted with the question,
How do you get it?' and are re-
quired to open their books for inspec-
ton, to determine whether or not their
charges are reasonable. The candidate
for office is required to file statement
of his expenses. Proposals for the re-
quirement of publicity in various lines
are made with increasing frequency,
and the interest of the public in seek
ing information is rapidly growing.
There is strong demand for honesty
and economy in the management of
public affairs and for square deal for
all in business affairs, and to enforce
this demand fairly and justly detailed
information is required.
A bill along this line, now pending in
the legislature, provides that all town
boards shall publish in some newspaper
their financial report for the year.
The wisdom and propriety of such a
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1911-03-03

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has decided that the railroads can
not put into effect the proposed in
creased schedule Of freight rates. On
the part of shippers it was claimed
that present rates are sufficient to
yield fair profit, and that the revenue
of road should not be used to build
new lines, to which points the commits
sion agreed. The railroads threaten
to curtail construction and reduce their
forces of men unless they are allowed
to fix rates to suit themselves, and it
is reported that the C. M. & St. P. has
ordered the discharge of 25 per cent of
its men engaged in construction, re-
pairing and maintenance of right of
way. The bluff may work, and then
again it may not. If our memory is
not at fault, 1T was bluffing on the
part of the railroads that caused the
Wisconsin legislature to pass the 2
cent fare law.
