London.-King Nicholas will abdi-
cate the throne OF Montenegro in the
near future. The troubles OF his coun-
try are too many for the grizzled ruler
of the little land and he feels younger
hands must guide its destiny.
King Peter of Servia in all proba-
bility will be the successor of King
Nicholas when he abdicates. 1t is said
King Nicholas wishes the Servian
ruler to take his place.
King Nicholas has placed the future
of Scutari in the hands of the Eu-
ropean powers. and the settlement of
the Albanian trouble now depends
upon whether Essaad Pasha and Djayid
Pasha will obey the orders sent by the
Sublime Porte to withdraw their arm
les to the Turkish Empire.
1t is believed that. as Montenegro
has abandoned Scutari. Essaad Pasha
will recognize the futility of his aspira-
tions to the kingship of Albania. in the
face of the threatened AustroItalian
expedition to expel him.
One of the ambassadors at the close
of the ambassadorial conference at
London said:
1.-The situation is saved and the cri-
sis is past. The reported Austro-Ital-
Ian action in Albania has no point
now"
The telegram from King Nicholas to
Sir Edward Grey. the British foreign
secretary, announcing that he had
surrendered, was as follows:
my dignity and that of my people
do not allow me to submit to isolated
orders. l therefore place the destiny
Of Scutari in the hands of the great
powers"
Despite the statement of the ambas-
sador that Austria and Italy now have
no cause to send expeditions into Al
bania, preparations for just such a
move continue.
Russia's warning to Italy to keep
hands off evidently will not be needed.
II not, grave consequences are feared.

books of instruction for county asses

the assessment of property. Some o.
the instructions to the assessors fol
low: Find every person having prop
erty. Large numbers possessing only
personal property are now never visit
ed by the assessor. In case person
claims he has no taxable property
have him take oath in the schedule to
this effect. Have each taxpayer swear
to his schedule. Require complete
schedules from corporations and se-
cure an affidavit to the schedule. Coal
and other mineral reserves should be
assessed. They are frequently owned
by others than the owners OF the sur
face rights and immense value in this
way escapes taxation. Assess poultry
and bees. Inquire of each taxpayer the
amount of this property he possesses.
Assessors are instructed to use more
care in taxing money, notes, stocks
and bonds.

PROGRESSIVEs SHOULD STAND

After reading that editorial very
carefully, we are heartily in sympathy

difference between republican and
democratic progressive in matters of

ways election was only possible by
progressive republicans voting for
him, for Wood County is strongly pre-
gressive The Journal is certainly
right in their editorial position on this
question. We believe it will only be
a matter of time, when progr essiYe
democrats and republicans viii be
of one mind and of one party under

united in. 1t certainly will not be
of the Roosevelt or Bull Moose type.

ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY MAT
TIERS.

We have been asked to give our
position on the present Electric
Light Co. situation.
Without having any legal knowledg
of the Articles of Incorporation on
the cooperative plan as compared
with the Railroad Rate Utility Law,
We believe that it would be best for
the Electric Light Co., to place it
self under the utility law, in fact
We understand that at the present
time, the officers of said company
are obliged to work under that act.
To work under the cooperative
plan will require some special legis-
lation for this particular locality.
Whether this is, possible We are
greatly in doubt
This being true we would favor the
regular corporation Stock Company
plan, issue to each stakeholder, who
now holds stock i'm said company new
stock, to the full cash value, based
upon the cash value of the present
plant Then cut the price of lights
and power to users at such a figure
that the plant would only pay the re-
Quired legal dividend on said stock
under the present utility law. Later,
if the said Electric Light Co., desires
to enlarge and increase its plant,
then sell more stock to users of light
and power who now hold no stock
and want it at the cash value of said
stock. In this manner the old stock
holders who weathered the co-opera-
tive company storm until the pres
ent laws were enacted, would derive
the benefits that they are entitled
to in the difference between the value
of the stock under the cooperative
plan and the present cash value fiXeo
by the Utility law.
This We believe would distribute
the rights and benefits of all concern
ed who are either present stockhold-
ers in said company or users OF lis
service in either light or power.
This we believe would be fair and E.
QuitabIe to all concerned.

SCRAP IN INSURANCE OFFICE AT
MADISON

MADISON.
The attempt on the part of the
Governor through his man, E. L. Ess-
man, to eject H. L. Ekern, insurance
commission er from his office on Tues
day, January p, is disgraceful, not
only % Governor McGoVern and his
assistants, but to the state of WiscOn
sin as we'll To the people residing
in the interior of the state, who have
no personal interest on either side Of
this controversy, they feel that the
Governor is not as broad guaged and
statesmanlike as they expected A
man who is qualified to fill a posi-
ton like the Governorship of Wiscon-
sin ought to be too big, and too
broad to stoop to such methods of
enforcing his orders upon subordi-
mates. The Governor certainly has
lost his former excellent judgment in
the discharge of his public duties as
a servant of the people of Wisconsin.
He is now STOPPING to bum elemen
methods and disgracing the high Of
flee which he now fills. We cannot
express but deep regret to see such
action upon the part of the COVER
nor of cur state 1t is really to be
deplored and We hope the State senate
will place it's disapproval upon such
conduct on the part of our Executive
even though technically he may be
right
He has certainly lost his head in
carrying out the disposition of his
temper, to a degree that is not flat
tering to his administration. The
episode which took place in ejectmen
proceedings on the order of the Gov
ernoor was wholly out Of place and
unnecessary, but the Governors anx-
iety to assert his power and show his
disgust for Extern undoubtedly prompt
ed this step. He viii find the peo-
pie of Wisconsin will not support nor
endorse any such action on his part.
