BAsING his candidacy upon a ten
years record in office, G. P. Carey is
again a candidate for the office of state
superintendent of schools. Opposing
him is William Kittle, who for num-
Der of years has been secretary OF, the
state board of normal regents. The
candidacy of Superintendent Carey is
strongly supported by large proper
ton of the educators of the state. In
a recent "call," published by Mr.. Kit
tie in support of his candidacy, it was
found that only four of the seventy
two county superintendents in the state
had lined themselves with the Kittle
forces. Only one of the seven princi-
pals of county agricultural schools fav-
ors his candidacy, not one Of the presl-
dents of the eight state normal schools
supports him, while none of the faculty
members of the twenty-seven county
normal schools is supporting Mr.. Kit
tie. Of the $50 names affixed to this
''call,'' but sixty-three have been
found to be actively engaged in the
teaching profession; of this number
twenty-seven occupy obscure nor
nal school positions. But twenty
three of the $50 high school principals
are connected with the anti-Carey fac
ton, and of the seventy-two city sup
erintendents but ten have signed the
s'call.

WHILE ''Our Bob was scheming to
perfect ways and means to get at the
physical valuation of railroads, the
thought ought to have occurred to him
that it would be mighty good thing
for the taxpayers pocketbooks If some
law could be devised for the mental
valuation of statesmen and officehold-
ers, many of whom are charging con-
fiscatory fees for the services they are
rendering If Bob will extend his
physical valuation law so as to compass
mental valuation, in order that we may
apply it properly to public officials in
our state, most of our citizens will
arise and call him blessed. If we are
to be plundered, it makes but little
difference to us whether we are plum
dered by railroads or politicians. :

A FACT that ought not to escape no
tice in the report of the secretary of
state for 1912 is the list of employees of
the railway commission, including
clerks, engineers and experts, number
ing approximately 200. The new capt.
tol will nowhere near accommodate the
growing list of state employees and the
proposition to erect in Milwaukee an
overflow building to house the tax
eaters in that part of the state is not
without some reason if commissions
continue to multiply.
