License for Commission Men.

License TOT COMMISSION wen.
The licensing of commission men
as a means of protecting farmers in
getting proper returns for their la
Dor is proposed in Assemblyman
Spoons bill. He has introduced a
measure which those interested be-
lieve will prove a hog tight" fence
against those commission men who
fail to make proper returns on the
produce consigned to them.
The bill provides first that no COM
mission man can do business with
out license. This he is to obtain
from the secretary of state, for which
he will have to pay So, or rather for
the secretary's work in examining
and approving a bond that the COM
mission man will have to file before
getting the license.
The bond remains in force until
notice of it's being revoked is filed
and for thirty days thereafter. It is
provided that successive actions
may be brought on such bonds for a
breach of the condition thereof by
the persons injured thereby, until the
entire amount of the penalty is ex-
hausted''
Any one who tries to dispose OF
farm products for the producer with
out having obtained a license shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
On conviction he can be fined from
500 to $500 for leach and every
day. in which he has been engaged
in business.

RESTRAINT Of

SPEAKER HULLS mi,
NATION BILL PASSES AS
SEMBLY, "a TO q.
FAVOR "RAISE" FOR SOLoNS
Resolution Limiting Sessions o. Legs
Iature TO 40 Days is Another Inn
portant Measure Adopted in Lower
House.

Madison The assembly by vote
of "a to 4 advanced Speaker Hull's
characterization bill designed to
prohibit under selling of commodi-
ties. A similar measure was advo-
Gated by Woodrow Wilson last fall
for national enactment. Hull has
pressed this measure in four legisla-
lures The bill would prohibit the
selling of commodities in one COM
munity for less than the same dealer
sells the same kind of goods for in
other communities, due allowance
being made for difference in grade
and cost Of transportation.
The AxeI Johnson resolution limit
ing sessions of the legislature to d
maximum of 40 days was adopted in
the assembly without opposition. The
resolution increasing the pay Of
members of the Legislature from
$500 to 200 for the biennial pc
riod was passed, making the second
passage of this resolution by the as
sembly, it having passed the legisla-
provides for the payment of a salary
TO legislators of 5000 annually.
Representatives of Wisconsin
Christian Scientists are here plan
ming a campaign for the protection
of their people in the right to Sc
lect the healers and advisers they
desire in times of illness. The cam
paign of the Christian Scientists will
be fought this year on a somewhat
different ground than it has been car
ried on in the past. When the So
called medical bills are taken up the
Christian Scientists will come for
ward and declare that they have no
objection to any protection being
thrown around any class of FRACTION
ers or healers which those FRACTION
ers or healers may desire, so long as
it is clearly understood that the right
of individuals to choose any kind of
healing or advice in cases of illness
is protected. In other words the
Christian Scientists will ask that the
limitation placed on the practice of
medicine or any other form of heal
ing such as chiro-practice, be solely
for those professions and that no
attempt shall be made to legislate
that the individual shall not have the
right to call healers outside of those
professions if he so desires.
The plan now in regard to the in
come tax amendments which have
been offered to this legislature is to
hold a general hearing on the meas
Wes before any special hearings are
held on any particular clauses on
which there have been amendment
bills presented. The general hear
ing on the income tax question will
be held some time early in March.
Senator Brownies bill, appropriate
ing S470,000 for state highway aid
fund, went through all the processes
of introduction, references, reading
three times and passage, without dis
cussion. From its introduction on the
opening day, in the senate, to the
hour Of it's passage, not single word
has been uttered for or against. it.

UNITED STATES NOT
TO INTERVENE rs A
RESULT OF Staying
at Mexico City Stirs
Officials in Washington, But
Policy Remains the Same
---WiII Watch Huertd.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 24.-Pres-
ident Taft announced Sunday night
that the Staying of Madero and Suar-
ez, the deposed president and vice
president of Mexico, deplorable as it
must be regarded, will not precipi-
tate American military Intervention.
To quote what the president said,
the crime affords no basis for any
change in the policy of the United
States with reference to the Mexican
situation
That policy contemplates the con-
centration of an expeditionary force
of troops at Galveston, Tex, com
prising the Fourth and Fifth army
brigades, and the maintenance of
battleships in Mexican waters.
The assassination of Madero broth
ers will be proof to the other lead
ers in the field that failure to obey
the government viii result in their
execution if captured. But what this
government is afraid of is that a
reign of terror will be inaugurated
far worse, if that is possible, than
has been the case up to the present
time.
It was in the hope OF preventing
such a condition that Ambassador
Wilson, in accordance with instruc-
tons sent to him by Secretary Knox,
expressed the earnest hope that Ma
dero would not be executed by any
summary or illegal process, and that
his life might be spared. Mr.. Will
son explained that this representa-
ton, made on behalf of his govern
ment, was based purely on humani-
tartan motives and on the belief that
the execution of Madero would be a
blot on the record of the new gov
eminent. Gen. Huerta promptly gave
assurances that no i'll advised action
would be taken and created the eX-
pectation that Madero would not be
killed.
The effect Of the treacherous con-
duct of Huerta toward Madero, the
man under whom he served as mill
tary commander, and his responsible
ity for the death of his former chief,
will be, SO far as the United States
is concerned, to place his claims to
the government OF Mexico under
more rigid scrutiny. His assurances
of protection to Americans and for
eigners generally and their property
will be regarded as worthy Of little
consideration and as justifying the
adoption Of all possible precaution
and even Intervention if necessary.
His government has not been recog-
nized by the United States nor has
any refusal to recognize it been made.
Ambassador Wilson is in relations
with him as the defacto authority in
Mexico City and in other places
where his rule has been accepted.
Huerta will be held to strict &C
countability for any attack upon
Americans, and should these attacks
be of a general character, or should
communication be interrupted be-
tween Mexico City and it's port, Vera
Cruz, marines and blue jackets will
be landed at once and will be prompt
ly reinforced by the army. Public
opinion in the United States is ex-
pected to support such a policy, and
the murder of the Maderos and Suar-
ez unquestionably Will create such
feeling in this country as to back
up the extreme step Of Intervention
should it be taken.

LEGISLATORS WORK

TER DRAGGING ALONG FOR
SEVEN WEEKS, LAWMAKERS
BEGIN RUSHING IN BILLS.
AID FOR FARMERS PROPOSED
AssembYman Spoons Measure for
Licensing of Commission Dealers
Is Designed as Means of Assuring
Square Deal to TilIers of the Soil

Madison.-After dragging along
for seven weeks without accomplish
ing anything of moment, the legisla-
ture has gone to the other extreme.
Now there is shown a feverishness of
action with view of making every
one, including the legislators. be-
lieve that great work is being done.
Over on the assembly side this
rushing has given rise to predictions
that the legislature will come to a
close by April /. The old timers
among the members smile indulgent-
ly at these dreamers of dreams. They
will be we'll satisfied if the legislature
can adjourn sine die on June l.
However, for the present there is a,
rush to get bills scheduled for hear
ings. In the desire to make a show
ing bills are bulletined for hearings
which have not yet been printed. I'm
til bill is printed no one outside
the authors and a small circle of
friends of the measure knows what
the bill contains, or whether it is
loaded
1t is we'll within the probabilities
that these bills will have to be put
over when reached, as in all decency
persons can not be asked to appear
before the committees until they
have had chance to study the meas
ures carefully on which they are to
put in an appearance.
