of the Wisconsin Statutes which will
have bearing on the article which
is to follow. The first is Section
925-9O relating to the letting of city

SAUSAGE CASE
MUST Be TRIED
Supreme Court SustainS
Risjord's Decision
And Case Will Now Have to
be Tried at the Spring Term
of Circuit Court

Madison, Wis. March 12,-In
affirming the decision of the low
ell court in overruling Swift &
Co.. s demurrer to the complaint
of Morgan Haley. a minor, the
supreme court held that the
com plaint states a cause of ac-
tion. The company was charged
with selling link sausage of un-
sound and poisonous nature,
from the consumption of which
an infant, Morgan Haley, be.
came sick. The suit is for $5, 900
damages. The court says it
makes no difference whether
there were no contractual rela.
tions between the seller and the
ultimate consumer. The broad
principle that..provisions danger.
Gus to health must not be fur.
nished is the ru ling considera'
tion.
Attorney John Walsh of this
city is the attorney for the Swift
company in this case while the
plaintiff is represented by G. F.
Morris of Iron River. The case
has attracted considerable at
tention in this locality.

to the council of the smoke nuisance
caused by the burning of soft coal
in this heating plant and it was also
stated that the old boiler was ex-
pensive in the amount of fuel that
was consumed. After consider able
discussion the following motion was
finally passed.
THAT if it was found necessary
to install a new boiler in the building
commonly known as the Bank OF
Washburn building that the COM
mittee on Public Buildings be in
structed to take the matter in hand
with full power to act as they may
deem necessary.
The committee on Public Build
ings to whom the above motion was
referred is composed of 6. w. Hack
er, Hans Ambly and George w.
Fluck.
Up to that time, so far as we can
learn, the boiler then in use in the
Bank of Washburn building had been
giving fairly good satisfaction, there
being but one exception. Soft coal
was used for fuel and the burning OF
this scattered SCOT about the streets
near the building and some complaint
was made to the council to have the
nuisance abated, but so far as the
heating of the building was con-
cerned no complaint was ever made
that it was not properly heated.
Although the records do not show
lit, it is presumed that a thorough
investigation was made of the heating
plant by the Building Committee
who found that a new boiler was
needed in the building.
This committee, without first hav-
ing advertised for bids as required by
law, proceeded and did award the
lob for the installation of the boiler
to the Washburn Plumbing & Heat.

Wall Street Concern ReneWS
Battle.
Asks Legislature to Legalize
the Palming off of
limitations

Madison, Wis. March II
(speciaD Unheralded and un.
sung the Corn Products Rein
ing company has renewed it's
attack upon Wisconsin's Pure
Food Laws and State Dairy and
Food Commissioner j. @. Emery
by having bill introduced in
the assembly amending the pure
food law to enable them to sell
glucose syrup in this state un-
der the label of "corn syrup"
This is long drawn out piece
of warfare. Ever since May.
1909, Commissioner Emery has
successfully defeated every
effort of this giant monopoly
with it's great wall street back
ing to break down our pure food
laws. 1t has been a fight to the
hilt on both sides.
The pure food act says ex-
pressly that glucose syrup shall
not be sold in this state under
any other label than ''glucose
syrup" The Corn Products
people were branding their glu-
cose as ''corn syrup" and under
this labelling have built up an
immense business.
The bill now pending before
the legislature is substantially
the same as the two former bills.
Gum shoe methods are being
used to hold up publicity. 1t
has been learned that leading
newspaper publishers have been
interviewed by representatives
of the syrup trust, which may
account for the fact that the bill
has not been given publicity by
la large portion of the daily
press. Two years ago the trust
carried on a publicity campaign.
and it is surmised that this year
they have changed their tactics
| to a still hunt. The presence OF
the bill at this session has just
been discovered by the progress
| ives, and the fight will be
watched with keen interest, both
IN Wisconsin and on Wall street.

With the Committee of the
County Board.

A meeting of the committees
OF the county board of Bayfield,
county and of the town OF Barks'
dale was held at the Knight
Hotel at Ashland on Monday OF
this week for the purpose of dis
cussing the long bridge question
over which there has been SO
much controversy during the
past three or four years. The
com mittee of the county board
was composed of c. II. Werden
of Mason, George Curry of
Eileen and Erick Johnson OF
Port Wing, while the town OF
Barksdale was represented by
Pat. Galligan, Charles Bratt and
Chris Peterson.
These joint mittees decides
at their meeting to employ three
competent engineers to estimate
the cost of each proposed route
and all conditions in regard tt
each of them and to report back
to the committee. One engineer
will be engaged by the county
one by the town of Barksdal'
and the third will be sent here
by the state highway commission
Upon their findings the com
mittee will base their report tt
the county board and whatever
these engineers decide as to. o.th'
best road will likely stand.

The town of Barksdale is
seeking to have the county main
tain the bridge route around the
head of the bay while the coun-
ty board favor the swamp route.
But it is understood that each
committee has agreed that the
findings of the three engineers
to be employed will be final.
The report of the joint COM
mittee will be made at a meeting
of the county board to be held in
May.
In the meantime the county
will expend $500 in making re-
pairs to the bridge route.

Held at Commercial Club
Saturday Afternoon
Much Business Transacted
at Annual Meeting of
Farmers Association

The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Bayfield,
County Farmers and Fruit
Growers Association was held
at the Commercial Club rooms
in this city last Saturday after
noon and was attended by a
large nun ber of the members OF
the association.
After being called together by
President Bogenrief the report
of Secretary Morgan, giving a
detailed account Of the business
done by the association and also
of the financial standing was
read. This statement proved
very interesting 10 the stock
holders as it showed all the
business transacted by the
association since it's organization,
also the financial standing. For
the short time that the associ-
alton has been doing business
there has been a large volume
transacted and the indications
are that it will increase from
this time on.
Four directors were elected,
being as follows: T. A. Oscar,
three years to succeed himself
| Andrew Berge, three years &c
succeed H. Fl. Peavey; Mike
Thoreson. three years to succeed
himself; and Charles Peterson,
two years to succeed James N
Kinney.
Following the business meet
ing some discussion was had or
the kind of seed to be planted by
the mem bers of the association
and it was voted to stick to one
or two varieties Of good yielding
potatoes, and also other crops
adapted to this locality. 1t is
expected that this association
will have much to do with the
growing of marketable crops by
the farmers in this locality ir
the future as the value of growing
good crops will be demonstrated

A constitutional amendment to
permit sherlffs of the state to serve
not more than two successive terms
and after having held the Office twice
they shall be ineligible to either the
Office of sheriff or undersheriff, is
proposed by Senator Glenn of Grant
county. Several years ago the
sheriffs OF the state formed a state
organization and appointed a legis-
lative committee to work for this
change in the constitution. AS the
constitution now stands the sheriff
can hold but one term and is in
eligible for reelection until another
term has elapsed. Up to the pres
ent time no opposition to the mea-
sure has developed.

GRAND ARMY ID BE ENCHANTED
 DOWN IN DIXIE
For the First Time In History Veterans of the Northern Army Will Gather in Real South for Annual Meeting.
Especial to The Republican,

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 26.- When the Grand Army of the Republic meets here on September 15 for it's forty-seventh national encampment, it will be the first time in history that such an encampment is held in the real south. It is true, one national en- campmcnt was held in Louisville, but that city was really too far north and too far removed from the actual seat of the war to be considered as part of the real south. It is different with Chattanooga, the immediate vicinity of which was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of the civil war, in cluding Chicamauga, Lookout Noun
 tain, Orchard Knob and Visionary Ridge
 Undoubtedly there was time when the selection of Chattanooga as the place of the gathering would have been fatal to the success of a Grand Army encampment. During the first fifteen or more years after the close of the war there was still enough of the in
 tense popular feeling against the north left among the impoverished people of the south to make the selection of a real southern city as the place for nOlu1nS Grand Army encdfnpHent q matter of doubtful judgment. There would probably have been no hostile demonstrations on the part of the sOutherners - southern hospitality would not have permitted that-but there would have been embarrassment on both sides and unavoidable friction. But time has worked marvellous chang es. The old time antagonism has been wiped out; great national problems, common national dangers have brought the north and the south closer togeth
 CT; a clearer recognition of the mutu- ality of their interests cemented the fractures and comradship in the camps and upon the battlefields of the Span ish- American war strengthened the bonds of friendship and loyalty be- tween the north and the south more than anything else could have done. It was no longer a matter of doubtful taste and judgment when it was decid- ed to hold the forty seventh annual en- Campment of the Grand Army of the Republic in this city, but a recognition of the fact that the chaSm once separ~ (Cnnfinnp6

INCREASED TAX ON INCOMES |S
 NUT APPROVED
Senators BOrah, BristoW and Cummins Make An Attempt to Assess Heavy Per Cent on Larger h. comes and Fail.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Attempts to increase the large income limit proposed in the income tax. failed in the senate today when Senators 13or- ah, BristoW and Cummins tried it.
 BOrah offered an amendment in creasing the graduate tax on the lar ger incomes until it would have reached five per cent of those above s100,O0O per year. Democrats, aided by ten republicans, defeated the amendment, forty-seven to seventeen.
 A more radical provision with a maximum tax of ten per cent on in comes of $1OO,OOO or more will be submitted by Bristow tomorrow.
 In the pending bill, the rates on larger incomes are:
 One per cent on from twenty to fifty thousand dollars: two per cent on from fifty to one hundred thous- and dollars; three per cent above one hundred thousand dollars
 Borah proposed the following addi- tional tax:
 one per cent on from ten to thirty thousand dollars; two per cent on from thirty to fifty thousand dollars three per cent on from fifty to eigh- ty thousand dollars; four per cent on from eighty to one hundred thousand dollars; five per cent for all above one hundred thousand dollars
 Republicans voting against the in crease were: Clarke, of Wyoming; Gallinger, Lippitt, Lodge. Oliver, Pen rose. Root, Shoot, Warren and Weeks.
 "A man With a small income all ways pays his tax more completely than the man with the larger income. 9 said Borah.
 Tt is much easier to find all with q five thousand dollar income than to find all with a fifty thousand dollar income. A tax of four or five per Cent on a man with one hundred thousand dollar income will not in convenience him more than one per cent would q man with q five thous- and dollar incOme.'
 Williams who has charge of the in come tax provision for the democra- tic side insisted the committee is compelled to go slowly and cautiously in inaugurating a new form of direct taxation.
 T thought it was well to establish tax on simple grounds" he said.

 The only elective officers under the new charter are five commissioners who will appoint a city manager for an intederminate term, the manager to be held responsible for the conduct of the executive branch of the municipal government
 Organized labor did not here, as in Dayton and other towns in this state where this form of charter has been proposed this year, oppose the adoption of it.
