COLUMBUS IN STATUARY

Gated on November 8, 1862, although
the foundation had been laid as far
back as 1916. The inscription it bears
is; ITO Christopher Columbus, the
Fatherland." Spain. which country
failed the Genoese during his life
time, has been more generous to his
memory, and here are many shafts
raised to record the greatness of his
deed
Perhaps the noblest monument yet
erected to the memory of Columbus
is that which stands in Barcelona. 1t
was In this city that King Ferdinand
and his consort, Isabella, received
the admiral on the return from his
first voyage. 1t is most appropriate
situation. Much care was taken in
the selection of the design of the
Barcelona monument, and the result
is artistic in every sense OF the
word
In the new world nearly every
country has testified in recognition
of the deed of Columbus by the cree
ton of some character of monument

graces the center of Columbus circle

the original monument erected on
this continent to commemorate the
achievement of Columbus
1t is unfortunate that there is no
contempoIaneous painting or likeness
of Columbus extant. For this reason
artists who have attempted to repro
duce his lineaments in marble have
been at a great disadvantage
AS matter of fact the accepted
likeness of the admiral is after the
manner of being an idealistic con-
ception, All are familiar with the
strong, clean-shaven face from which
deep, expressive eyes look out under
broad brow The deep lines from
the nose to the corners of the mouth
are also characteristic of the popular
portraits of Columbus. Who would
recognize the discoverer depicted
with gray beard? Yet it is more
than probable that he wore one
when he planted the banner of
Spain on the shores of the New
World
The few descriptions of the person
al appearance OF the admiral which
we have from those who knew him
well tell us "he was man of sturdy
stature, rather above the average
height, of very rudy complexion.

US, that there is no need here to re-
count the many injustices which he
suffered at the hands of his contem-
poraries. The salient fact that he
was shorn of his honors and returned
laden with chains, proves conclusive
ly the cruel contempt with which the
fearless navigator was treated in his
own day. Time rectifes many mis-
judgments, and 1t has done SO In the
case of the discoverer of America,
The wonder of his achievement is
universally recognized and the worlds,
both old and new, have testified in
many monuments to the respect and
honor in which they hold Columbus.
The custom OF preparing eftigies in
stone, so that the names and achieve

passed on to posterity, finds its or

natural that this custom should have
been followed in the case of Colum.

Latin America, too, was the area
over which his discoveries were eX-

Caribbean sea and the West India
islands He had been to England
and at one time in despair had APP

him in his great ambition, but his
experience and his fame were Latin.
Perhaps on this account the name
of Columbus is incorporated more
prominently in the nomenclature OF
Latin America than in that OF Anglo

Will Try and Make Us Like 1t.

During the special session of the leg
islature which is soon to meet in Madi-
son there will be numerous political
conferences by the Republican leaders.
Among the most important will be
those at which will be discussed plans
for meeting the income tax issue. There
is no question but one of the things
which is at the present time worrying
the LaFollette leaders very materially
is as to how the great opposition which
is being shown all over the state to the
income tax is to be met. There can be
nothing gained by saying it is not an
issue, as the farmers and the residents
of the state generally are making it an
issue whether the political leaders de-
sire they do it or not, and everywhere
that men are getting into the mention
state as possible legislative candidates
they are being asked the question very
plainly as to how they stand on the in
come tax law.
The farmers are becoming very en-
phatic in the demand that the tax be
absolutely repealed and there is little
question that platform planks of any
party pledging the repeal of the income
tax will prove popular. A person has
but to travel on a train or take a trip
into any farming district to discover
very soon that not since the Bennett
law has there been statute passed by
the legislature which has caused so
much opposition comment as the in
come tax.
The chief reason why the administra-
ton feels that the absolute repeal of
the law cannot be pledged is the fact
that it was platform pledge of two
years ago that an income tax law would
be passed by the legislature The ad-
ministration feels that as the law was
passed in the regular session of 1911 as

platform measure the sponsors of the
law cannot very we'll desert now even
if it is proving unpopular. One of the
plans proposed is to have a series of
addresses around the state on the sub
ject of the law in which an attempt
will be made to tell the people that the
measure should be given a fair trial
and that it will relieve real estate tax
alton sufficiently so that in the end it
will prove a popular measure. 1t is
claimed that several of the leading La

AS A result of the campaign that has
been conducted in this state for pedi-
greed barley, it is estimated that over
$4,000, 900 worth of barley will be
raised in Wisconsin this year. Hun

year will be from 20 to 80 per cent
greater than in any other year on ac-
count of the high prices. The acreage
in 1910 was $3.50, 600 acres but the acre
age this year will pass 100000. 1t is
grown in Wisconsin this year will be
pedigreed barley. The growing of pure
barley was started several years ago
when Prof. Moore investigated the kind
preferred by brewers. He selected
grains of the choicest kind and grew
more. Later he sent out free seed to
of selling their barley to brewers sold
seed to their neighbors and in this way
increased the growing of pure bred
grain. In 1910 22,429,O00 bushels of
barley were raised in Wisconsin. On
age in 1911 raised the number of BUSH
els to 26,000,O00. It's value in 1910 to-
tailed $14, 355, 900 for 500, 900 acres IN
1905 over 1000 Oderbrucker barley sta
tions were established in Wisconsin.
In 1908 the number was increased to
1900 and in 1910 there were 1900 sta
tions. The aim of these stations is to
get the farmers to grow select barley
instead of the scrub barley.
