CAPITAL WILL HAVE
VOCATIONAL BUREAU
Institution to Be Supported by
Three Commercial Bodies,
on BIumenthaI System.

After several months Of discussion
and careful consideration, the special
committee from the Board Of Trade
which has had the matter under advise
ment, has decided that Washington
shall have a vocational bureau along
the lines proosed by Prof. Gustav
Blumenthal.
In order to give it greater scope, how
ever. the trade board committee Will
ask the Chamber of Commerce and Re
tail Merchants Association to CO.

Y. NJ. c. A. has been abandoned. ana
1t will be maintained as separate In.
stitution. 1t has also been decided that
the bureau shall be financed by tne
charging fees, as is sometimes the
case.
Decision was reached on these mat
ters at a meeting yesterday afternoon.
which lasted about two hours: DR..
William NJ. Davidson, superintendent Of
schools, met with the committee.
Mistaken idea.
Because the public school system has
added a system Of vocational training,
some members Of the committee be-
lieved Dr. Davidson would advocate
putting the bureau under the control
of the school authorities.
On the contrary, he explained the
difference between vocational training
and vocational guidance, said the school
system could not paossibly take up vo-
cational guidance and gave his hearty
Endorsement to the establishment OF
such q bureau as Prof. Blumenthal pro-
poses. to be operated under supervision
Of the commercial bodies.
Prof. Blumenthal again appeared be-
fore the comittee and vigorously ex-
pounded his views Of vocational train
ing. He declared B per cent Of the
people are in the wrong line Of work.
They may be doing fairly well, he, said.
but in Is per cent Of the cases there 10
a field In which they could accomplish
better results.
No Connection.
Prof. Blumenthal disciaimed any con-
nection with such vocational work as

ward, who tests applicants for their 1T
ness for certain position.

DYNAnITING TROUT.

Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Mathie and Mr..
and Mrs. Emil Braatz were down at
Freeman's Creek on Sunday, for an
auto ride and to spend the day pic
nicking and trout fishing. One of the
gentlemen while going down the
stream heard two explosions some
distance away and rushing out on the
car track spied four men picking up
fish and putting them on a hand-car,
on which they soon made their escape
toward the town of Halder before
being identified There is no doubt
but what these men were dyDamiting
the stream. Here is chance for our
game wardens to do little detective
work and make examples of these
men. 1t is a burning disgrace that
after all the work done by our sports
men to fill our streams with trout
that such reprobates should be al
lowed to go free and continue in their
dastardly work of killing off the fish.
This has been-do in Little Rib I'M
til one can hardiy.catch trout in its
waters, and which, otherwise. would
have been one OF the finest trout
streams in the country Our game
wardens should double their efforts to
preserve the ish in our streams and
they will find the good people of our
county backing them up every time
Let not a guilty man escape.

WOULD MEAN
CHEAPER ROADS
Removal Of the Asphalt Tariff
Would Benefit Wisconsin

Wisconsin representatives and the
senator's from this state can str;la
an effective blow for cheaper good
roads and asphalt streets by insisting
that the new tariff law shall admir-
asphalt free OF duty. There "a no
question of protection involved far
there is no lake or natural asphaIt in
the United States The competing
domestic materials such as oil asphalt
and tar are so much lower IN
price than the imported product that
they need nc protection. In fact
about all the existing tariff-s3 90 a
ton on refined asphalt and $3.50 on
crude-has done is to result in adding
these amounts to the taxpayers bin
for good roads aid streets. The tariff
tax is not only added to the price
of the imported product but it makes 1t
possible for the producers of similar
materials to increase their charges as
well, without coming into price com
petition with the imported asphalts.
Some kind of luminous binder"
to hold the stone in place is used in
most roads in these days of heavy
traific. To make roads of this kind
as cheap as possible everybody inter-
ested in the good roads movement
ought to work for tariff-free bitumens.
The saving that will result from the
removal of the tariff will not go to
the asphalt people. They have prom
ised to reduce their prices by the
amount OF the tariff If it is cut off, and
trade considerations would make them
do this in any case. The saving will
go to the taxpayers, who can spend
the money on additional construction
that they could not otherwise afford,
or they can keep the money In their
pockets. Their bills for roads and
streets have gone up tremendously
in recent years; there are millions
more to pay and there seems to be
no good reason for adding to these
millions by continuing the tariff tax
On good roads and streets.

WAUSAU LEADS AGAIN.

Workmen's compensation for indus
trial accidents is making great pro-
gress in this country in replacing the
liability of the employer under the
common law by definite provisions of
compensation TO the injured and in
nearly every state such laws have
either been enacted or are now pend
ing. The problems which these laws
have thrust upon the employers of
labor made the new form of compen-
Sation insurance a. necessity, and
Wausau has the distinction of having
the first company of this kind organ
lied in this country, and has been of
help to employers in other states in
the organization of similar companies.
Representatives,. of these companies
already having an annual premium
income of more than three million
dollars, met in Detroit last week for
the purpose of organizing a National
Association of Mutual Workmen's
Compensation Insurance companies.
The objects of the association are set
forth in the following resolution
Resolved, that the purposes of this
association shall be TO cooperate in
solving the problems of workmens
compensation, 10 reduce the number
of industrial accidents, to gather sta

apply such experience in the prepare
ton OF an individual rating system,
and to further join in all efforts to
promote cordial relations and main
tain high standard of service to en-
ployers and employees; provided, how
ever, that no members of this aSsocia-
ton shall at any time be permitted
to enter into any agreement to fix or
maintain rates.
