hard coal on the docks of the North
western Fuel company in this city
and advised people to purchase their
coal before the supply was gone. We
were lacked up for publishing this
item and were informed that there
was plenty of coal to do throughout
the winter. The coal supply has now
given out as we predicted and unless
coal is brought in from outside
points, no more is to be had.

amount of fuel that the Northwest

seem right that they should lsell
their coal to outside points and leave
the city without enough to last them
throughout the winter.

MADISON NOTES
Weekly Specials From the
State Capitol on Legisla-
lative Doings.

Madison, Wis, (SpeciaD Reduc-
ing the excessive profits of the trusts
and monopolies extorted from the
people on the necessities of life is
hoped to be accomplished by the bill
Of Senator E. E. Browne, Waupaca.
The bill creates a commission to
promote cooperative activity along
all lines that will tend to benefit the
people of the state and multiply state
resources.
The commission, as proposed in
the Browne bill, is to consist of two
members of the Wisconsin Union
American Society of Equity, two
from the Wisconsin Federation of
Labor, one from the Wisconsin State
Grange, one from the Wisconsin Con-
sumers' League, one from the Wis
consin Live stock Breeders Associ-
alton, one from the Wisconsin Dairy
mems Association, one from the
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
Association, one from the Wisconsin
Horticultural Society and one from
the Wisconsin Federation of Women s
Clubs.
Such an organization will create
worldwide attention and would bring
to Wisconsin many thousands of
dollars for investment in cooperative
activity. In fact, it is maintained, it
would become to Wisconsin and the
United States what the Cooperative
Union Limited is to England and
Europe the center of cooperative
thought and activity.
The introduction of the measure is
pursuant to a Republican platform
pledge to encourage cooperative
methods in Wisconsin.
The Browne bill makes an appro-
priation of $4,000 for carrying on
the work for the first two years.
The members of the central organiza-

muneration whateverfor their service.
In the opinion of M. Yves Tubbs,
secretary of the Wisconsin Union,
American Society of Equity, the time
when the work of the central organ
ization may be dispensed with will be
comparatively short.
Pass Anti Treating Bill
To the surprise of the brewing in
terests the senate this week passed
the Teasdale anti treating bill almost
unanimously. The assembly failed
to pass an anti-treating bill last week
but it is predicted by some that
enough votes will be mustered to
pass the senate bill in the lower

a figure Attorney John Walsh of

Perhaps you people back home

Walsh cuts. 1 saw him last summer

and consulted by the the men now
running this little old United
States"
Since delivering the seconding
speech placing in nomination the
name of Woodrow Wilson for Presi-
dent, Mr.. Walsh has taken very act
i've part in politics and is now looked
upon as being one of the big men of
the country. Although Mr.. Walsh
is of a different political faith than
this paper represents, yet we would
like to see him forge ahead and we
feel like giving him a boost whenever
the opportunity presents itself.

Saturday was the last day for filing
nomination papers for the Office of

papers for the following were filed
with County Clerk Nels M. Oscar
and their names will appear on the
official ballot: H. P. Axelberg, w.

Henry C. Rehm, who entered the
race some time ago as a candidate
for the office, decided the latter part
of last week not to continue in the
race and for that reason his nomina-
ton papers were not filed.
The Office of the County Judge
is an important one for eventually
nearly all of the property in the coun-
ty must pass through this Office and
it is important that the Judge in
charge should be capable of handling
the business. The business of this
court will continually grow larger as
the county develops and it is i'm
portant that the proper man should
be elected to the office. Voters
should size up all of the candidates
and decide which is the best qualified
to fill the office and then cast his
ballot on election day accordingly.

Washburn Wisconsin, Thursday, March goth, 1918

work was started some time
during the months of November
or December the first that the
council knew of it was on Janu.
ary 7th, when Alderman Ambly
reported to the council that the
Committee on Public Buildings
and Public Grounds was having
a cement floor put in the front
part ,of the basement of the
Bank of Washburn Building and
otherwise improving it. He
further stated that it was the
intention to remove one of the
vault fixtures from the old town
hall building and to install the
same in this place. so as to fit it
in first class shape for an Office
or any other purpose the coun-
Gil might use it for.
Mr.. Ambly stated at this
meeting that the object in begin
ming the work was in order to
keep the street commissioner
busy during the winter months
when he would have. no other
work to do, and it was for this
reason that the work was start.
ed. Alderman Martinson was
not present at this meeting and
at the February meeting he
wanted to know what authority
the committee had for beginning
this work, but apparently he
was not informed.
Although the work seems to
have been started in order to
furnish work for the street COM
mission, yet we find. according
to the records. that his salary
for the time that he worked in
the basement, was but a very
small part of the money expend-
ed, Mr.. Arseneau's time being
charged against the basement
work to the amount OF. $73.75,
while the cement, and sand that
he used amounted to $64.28, a
total of 136.03.
Among the otlier items we
find chargedJ p s,tsinst this last
work undertaken by this com.
mittee is $2O2.44 for plum bing
and hardware supplies. labor
$500, lumber $15.6a, painting
s17.4O, Mason work 1895, brick
$27.88, carpenter work $28.67.
wiring $24.48. From this it
would seem that a large part of
the expenditure went for plumb
ing and hardware supplies.
When we learned that this
was the case we Immediately
turned to the order book to
learn from whom these supplies
we're purchased, and to whom
the orders were paid. In
both cases we found that the
city order was drawn to the
firm of B. Ungrodt, one being
NO. 81O3, dated January 29th,
1913 for 123.O9 and the other
No 1857, dated March 9th, 1913,
being for $79.35. We then turn
ed to the original bills in order
to learn what supplies had been
purchased and here was where
our surprise came. There seem
ed to be something radically
wrong. The first bill consisted

Since our last issue some Of the
aldermen have tried to convey the
impression that the figures given in
our last article were not correct,
claiming that over $400 worth OF
, fuel was burned with the old boil
er during the last year that it was
, used. We have again compiled
these figures and find that slight
error was made of $50 but this
does not change in the least what
we intended to show--and that is
, that the new boiler has been more
expensive to run than the old boil
er. The corrected figures are as
follows: Fuel burned with old
boiler one year $2l2.30. Fuel
burned with new boiler during
, nine months $3044l. We invite
taxpayers to compare the figures in
the office of the city clerk to prove
our figures to be correct and we
challenge any alderman to disrmhe
, them.
