Road Money in Demand.

That Wisconsin mas awakened from
the dream prompted by the thought
that amy old road is good enough" is
evident in the fact that for 1913 there
already are applications from II coun-
ties asking $4,000 of state aid under
the new highway law, where for 1912
only SIS counties asked for aid and the
petitions called for but S453,O00, In
almost every county the number of
towns asking for aid has greatly in
creased, averaging much more than
double.
The highway commission already
has received the applications Of all
the counties, but not all of them are
in form to be permanently entered on
record. Among those in perfect form
and available for reference are:

Al Counties Push Work on Highways.
Wisconsin will enter the second
year under the new state aid
law with every county on the list APP
plying for state aid, according to ad-
vance figures given out by A. r. Hirst,
state highway engineer In 1912 only
SIS out of Il counties in the state ap-
piled for state aid while in
1915 all applied and in most
cases the counties which were
most liberal in their appropri-
atoms in 1912. and thus received the
largest benefit from the state good
road fund have largely increased
their appropriations for the coming
year.
SS0,460 for this year. is In line with
S47 100 for 1918: Douglas, with 5000
for 1912, viii have s15,4Oo for 1913;
Fond du Lac, which appropriated
$3.50 for 1912. win expend s12.650 in
1913; Milwaukee increases its road
fund from $4,000 for 1912 to SS3,670
for 1913: Monroe increases from $4,000
to S21,S00; Ontagomie from $400 to
$4,000; Sank from s26,430 to $4,000;
Villas from nothing in 1912 to $4,000
il 1913, and Price from $500 to $500
As has been stated, Price county
had but one town which appropriated
nothing under the act Of 1912 for road
purposes. while for 1913 every town
in the county is on the list, save
one.
The total cost per capita to the
state aid roads built in the state in
1912 was 1851; the total cost per
$1,000 of valuation was S044, and the
total cost per square mile of territory
was S24.25. When the roll of counties
is called. Florence leads all the rest
with an appropriation for good roads
of 1921 per capita. and SSH per 81 900
valuation, compared with So cents per
capita and so cents per $1,000 of val
uation for Milwaukee.
In only one respect does Milwaukee
shine. and that is in leading the other
counties in the state in the amount ex-
pended per square mile of territory.

State Ready for Insurance Business.
Wisconsin will be ready to en-

ance within a few weeks. Commits
sioner Ekern. who is doing the final
work on a schedule of rates is reti-
cent about naming a definite date
upon which the state sill be prepared
TO consider applications for policies,
because such announcements il the
past have been followed by a flood of
letters seeking infori alton about the
plan that the state viii conduct insur-
anee business that swamped the de-
partment. Judging from early indi-
cations the state viii do a large insur-
anee business, as Mr. Ekerp has re-
ceived hundreds Of queries asking
about rates.
The law" said Commissioner
Ekern, provides Tor life insurance
and annuities on a basis that is abb
solutely safe IT uses the same as
symptoms of death claims and for in
terest earnings as the safest Ameri-
can old-line life insurance companies"
The rate of premiums, said Mr..
Ekern. will probably not be much
lower than those of private insurance
companies, but the security would
doubtless be considered better The
liability OF the state, however. is not
