DEFENDS LAWS
OF WISCONSIN
La Toilette Says Progress
SiveS Are Constructive.
STATE LEADS COUNTRY

alize and General Conditions Have
Advanced More Rapidly Than Else
where in the United States.
Flint, Mich, Jan. 2.-Speaking be-
fore an audience of Michigan citizens
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin took
for his theme, How Wisconsin Has
Prospered Under Its Progressive Ad-
ministration," and declared that pro-
gressive legislation in his home state
has not been destructive, as it's enc
mics predicted.
Instead" he said, "of driving capi-
tai out of the state it has attracted
capital more than any other state. 1t
has made investments safe for all in
stead of speculative for few. 1t has
been conservative and constructive as
well as progressive. Not one of these
progressive laws has been overturned
by the supreme court of the state and
not one has been carried into the fed
eral courts"
Other points made by Senator La
Toilette were:
THE general business conditions in
Wisconsin conclusiyely show that in
stead of being retarded by progressive
legislation Wisconsin. has advanced
financially and commercially more
rapidly than the country taken as a
whole
Judged by commercial failures, Wis
consin has prospered better than the
entire country.
During ten years of progressive leg
islation the expenses of the state have
increased, but the burden of taxes up
on the people has decreased"
Thinks Regulation Beneficial.
The speaker went into details of the
results accomplished. and said:
Having brought the steam railroads
of Wisconsin under state control we
proceeded to extend the control of the
railroad commission over all the other
public utilities in the commonwealth :
In conclusion, after discussing vari-
Gus phases of state government, the
senator said:
wisconsin Is teaching the lesson
that both the people and the investors
In public utilities may be benefited by
our system of regulation. This is so
simply because railroad regulation is
thorough and scientific. Watered
stock and balloon bonds get to con
sideration. And as the commission
knows the costs, ii knows exactly the
lowest point to which rates can be re.
duced II even raises rates when
they are below the cost line, including
reasonable profit"

date was forced to consult a physi

they put the wisconsin senator's mem

The Portland Press of Tuesday had
the following to say of Officer 666;
I'm = of a cop remarked officer
666 disgustedly as they led him away
just before the curtain went down on
the third and last act at the Jefferson
theatre yesterday. Maybe so, but it's
a->-deuce of a good little play that
bears his name and two big audiences
showed their appreciation with enthu-
siastic applause Officer 666'-we
mean the melodramatic farce by Au-
gustin MacHugh now-is one of the
best things that has come to the JEFF
ferson in a twelve-month, and nobody
who saw it will deny the very incest
of the good things that have been
said sabout it. AS for Officer 666. the
man-one of Gotham's ''finest'-he
certainly did play in hard Luce, but nc
doubt everybody who witnessed his
discontinue sympathized with him in
the prospective loss of his job.
The cast presented for this play by
Conan and Harris, is a decidedly
pleasing one, and it would be extreme
ly difficult to determine who assumed
his or her role best, If one were to at
tempt that. There is not one person
in ne company who does not meet
every situation in a decidedly praise
worthy manner, Sydney Stone as
Barnes and GLADDEN. James as Gladwin
