Wat0rpOWer men to sign contract
which at the expiration or a thirty.
year franchise would permit the state
to cOnfiscate their property. Mr.. Bra.
zeau contended that any time the
state decided to take over waterpower
property that it ought to be willing to
pay for it. He denied that WATERFOWL
er men are opposed to conservation.
He said real conservation consisted Of
of utilization of waterpowers. He said
the greatest waste was represented by
Must Label Glucose Products.
State Dairy and Food Inspector J.
Q. Emery has won another notable
fight to have the ingredients of glu-
cose revealed to the public on every
package of the product offered for sale
in this state. The bill favored by Mr..
, Emery was passed last week in the
senate and now goes to Governor Nc
Govern for final approval. The meas
ure had a stormy time of it. The SEN
ate voted to kill the bill and then fOl.
lowed a long wrangle on rules over
motion to reconsider the matter.
Lieutenant Governor Morris finally
ruled that the subject had been re-
opened for debate. Senator Boss
hard then began speech of nearly
two hours duration, at the close Of
which the senate voted to reconsider
the bill and then passed it, which is
| rather an unusual proceeding for one
session Of the senate. The strong
est argument against the bill was that
It would prove an injustice to Wis
consin dealers, inasmuch as glucose
without a label could be shipped to
| customers in Wisconsin by the large
mail order houses. 1t was also argued
that glucose is not injurious to health.
Wisconsin is determined to carry
on a careful study of the marketing
question, which is Of great interest
to the farmers of the state. At the
close of the present session, DR..
| Charles Mccarthy, head Of the legis-
lative reference library, will spend
two months in Europe studying the
worlds markets. He will visit Den
mark, Ireland and Germany and while
in Ireland will be the guest Of Sir
Horace Plunkett, who has accomplish
| ed such notable results through the
establishment of system Of cooper
alive buying and selling.
Must Give Farmer Aid.
eve teach the farmer through our
; state university how to raise the best
kind of crops" said Dr. Mccarthy,
''but there we leave him stranded We
must give the farmer aid in offering
a system Of efficient distribution Of
products The present lack of sys-
tenn is a heller SHELTER affair in which
the middleman receives that which
belongs to the producer, the man back
on the farm, who plants the seed,
brings out the crops and offers it to
the public at large. The steel trust
would go broke in three months if it
operated under the same chaotic con-
ditions that face the American farm
er Of today. This market question
goes directly to the high cost Of liv-
ing. 1t is a tremendously big subject,
both to the nation and to the states"
Wisconsin is turning it's attention
to more sanitary conditions il the no
tells of the state. The Rosa bill was
passed in the house and concurred in
by the senate. Under the provisions
of this measure the state board of
health is given authority to name in
spectors who shall visit the hotels
and make an investigation of condi-
lions.
Bull Moose Party Not on Ballot.
The Bull Moose party as a party
will not be given a place on the bal
lot in the next general state election
in Wisconsin. Because the party
| failed to have a candidate for govern
or at the last election, Attorney Gen
eral Owen has held that if it desires
to be represented by a party ticket
| that it must use a separate ballot. II
! is generally admitted that to go be.
| fore the voters under these conditions
will prove handicap for Bull Moose
candidates, as independent ballots
! usually receive little attention.
After an absence Of several days
| Lieutenant Governor Morris, LaFol
lette candidate for the United States
senatorship to succeed Isaac Stephen
son, has returned to the capitol city
| The return of Mr.. Norris has given
rise to more speculation as to what
! Governor McGovern intends to do
| The governor, as usual, is saving
wood and saying nothing. An effort
was made to give out the impression
that the governor would run for {
third term as governor, but LaFol
lette men are banking upon his can
didacy for the senatorship. The prob
ably candidacy for governor of George
E. Scott continues to cause favorable
comment. The LaFollette men have
taken kindly to the suggestion tina
Senator Scott ought to run Speake
Merlin Hull has his ear to the ground
as they say in politics, and it is likel,
that he, too, will be a candidate t
succeed McGovern.
