MAY CANCEL BIG STATE DEBT
General Fund of Wisconsin Still In
debted to Trust Fund" on
Civil War Loans.

Madison.-The state debt of Wis
consin, amounting to $2,251,00G,
may be ordered paid by the legisla-
ture. In a special report of the tax
commission a recommendation is
made that this obligation be disposed
of. Wisconsin is specifically forbid
den by the constitution to incur in
debtedness in excess of 100000 ex-
cept for purposes of war. The state
debt at present existing was incurred
at the time of the Civil war and,
while refunded, has never been can
celed. During the Civil war the state
loaned the national government out
of "the trust funds of the state"
The repayment of war advances by
the United States occurred in the ifs
cal years 1903 and 1905, amounting
i'm those years TO a total of S1,1S7,-
219.8S. This money, while received
from a credit obligation of the fed
eral government to the state was
turned into the general funds and not
into the trust funds from which it
had been borrowed. The money was
used by the state for its current ex-
penditures, resulting in low tax levies

Idaho Supreme Court Is an Out

chairman, which was received here
Saturday, extended to r. S. Sheridan,
c. o. Broxon and A. r. Cruzen, pub
fishers of the Capital News, who were
sent to jail for publishing Colonel
Roosevelt's criticism of the Idaho su.
preme court, his sympathy and ad-
miration. He also communicated
with Progressive senators to see if
something can be done in the United
States senate with regard to what he
terms the outrage"
Colonel Roosevelt's telegram in part
follows 81 am confident I express the
feelings of every decent American
citizen when I say that I am outraged
and indignant beyond measure at the
infamy that has been perpetrated in
Idaho.
N it's essence the action of the
court is. in the first place, to deny to
a very large minority, possibly plu-
rality. of the voters of Idaho the right
effectively to express their desire as
TO who shall be the chief magistrate
of the nation, and, in the second
pIace, to punish those who protest
against this denial of justice and
thereby seek to intimidate all men
who may hereafter desire to protest
against similar outrages.
NO anarchist agitator could ever do
anv thing against the courts compare
BILE in effect to these actions Of the
highest of one of our state courts"

TAFT At OWN WAKE
FAvoRs, ARBITRATION OF PANA,
MA CANAL TOLLS IN NEW
YORK SPEECH.
SUGGESTS HAGUE TRIBUNAL
Chief Executive Refers to Roosevelt
Attacks the Enemies He Holds Re-
sponsible for His Political de-
ise'--Answers Banker Clews.

New York, Jan. I'm event the
pending negotiations between Great
britain and the United States fail to
bring about settlement. President
Iaft declared himself here Saturday
as uneqlivocally in favor of arbitrat-
ing the Panama canal tolls.
The Presidents first public declara-
ton OF his attitude on the question
was made at luncheon given in his
honor by the international peace
forum. Later, at the Republican re
organization" dinner, he presided at
what he styled his own political
wake. He made the funeral ora
ton over his political corpse, asked
modest praise for his deeds during
the time he lived at the White House,
recited at length the causes that led
up to his demise and attacked the
enemies he held responsible for his
taxing off. In the course of this
speech the president made his first
pubic reference to Colonel Roosevelt
since the campaign, saying that prob
ably 1.000.000 Republicans voted for
wilson ito avert the danger OF
Roosevelt's election.
The presidents remarks on the
Panama question apparently were
prompted by declaration in a
speech by Henry Clews. banker. as
sorting that for President Taft's adj
n1inisIration ito concede the right to
arbitrate the difference would be a
splendid achievement" but holding
that I'VE are in the wrong and would
most likely be defeated if it should
go to The Hague for decision"
Referring to the Panama canal
treaty the president, who had said
at the outset of his remarks that he
rose with mingled feelings of sorrow
and pleasure" continued:
MY friend Mr.. Clews differs with
me and with the administration in
the constructions of that treaty. That
is all right. / suppose questions be-
fore have arisen as to construction
of contracts in which good honest
people have been on both sides. Now
that presents to me very significant
and useful example with respect to
arbitration. A good many people are
saying: Don't arbitrate because you
are going to lose. This is our own
canal, and while England is making
point of it, England would not fight
about it, and therefore why give UP
when you are not likely to get an
arbitration that will be satisfactory
to you and your view of the construc-
tion?'
Now then-even if this view were
correct as to probability of result
which | need not admits just the
time when / am in favor of an arbi
tration."
