Professor Rowland, although an expert
in his profession also has the happy
faculty of producing a magnificent
theme to such low terms hat he brings
it within the grasp of the uninitiate

IT WAS dollars to doughnuts that
Mrs. Pankhurst would be permitted to
enter this country despite the immigra-
ton laws that closed the door against
convicted criminals. There was too
much politics involved in the matter
and the national administration could
not afford to stand for rigid enforce
ment of the law. Mrs. Pankhurst can
now go ahead and teach American suf-
fragetts the fine art of committing
arson, window smashing and rioting.
And the poor immigrant who comes to
our doors with stain on his character
must go back!

Popular Illusions.

A somewhat popular illusion exists
that because a certain breed of cows
give milk of medium or low fat test,
therefore they are not large cream or
butter fat producers, when in fact all
recent history shows the breed to be by
far the largest butter fat producer of
any of the breeds.
In the Wisconsin cow competition, of
whose fairness no one complains, 15S
Holstein cows and 157 .Guernseys, SO
Jerseys and some grade cows competed
for prizes awarded for yearly produc-
tions. These cows were in the hands
of experienced breeders scattered quite
widely over our state. and supposedly
all were fed to do their very best. The
average production for the Holstein
was SOP pounds of butter fat; 421 for
the Guernseys, and 1863 pounds for the
Jerseys. The net returns after feed
were $73, $50 and $50 respectively for
the three breeds mentioned.
For given amount of feed consumed
the net returns from the large, vigor-
Gus Holstein breed are in excess of
either of the small breeds, thereby es-
tablishing their supremacy as the most
economical producers as we'll as the
breed giving the largest net returns.
Comparing the grade cows, it is found
that the grade Holsteins produce on an
average $50 pounds of butter, the grade
Guernseys $50 pounds and the Jerseys
426 pounds.
1t seems singular incident that the
lead of 100 pounds of butter that the
grade Holsteins have over their com
petitors is almost identical with that
Qdn hxr &ho hrn6
pounds of butter is big, big lead. In
common language it might be spoken
of as walkaway.

THE city comptroller points out that
Milwaukee has paid So, 073, 600 for parks
and So, 369, 900 for interest on park pur-
chases. One park cost originally SIS, 900
an acre, but the interest has made the
total expenditure more than $4,000 an
acre. Interest charges have even been
capitalized, since the land contracts
were not paid from taxes, but more
money was borrowed to make payments
a double waste. 1t is horse race these
days between municipal and personal
extravaganza, all to be charged up
under the high cost of living.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-10-31

Is THE old scandal of vote buying to
be succeeded by the new evil of great
expenditure in connection with direct
primaries? Massachusetts has cor
rupt practices act, which limits the
amount which a candidate for governor
may give to political committee to
SIS, 900, but he or others may contribute
in other ways to the expenses of his
campaign as much as they like. The
question is one that must be faced
squarely as a serious element in the
matter of direct primaries. New York
Evening Post.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-10-31

IT APPEARS, if the reports from Mad
ison are reliable, that the state taxes
that were RENTED for campaign pur-
poses last year must be added to this
years levy. AS it means that nearly
So, 900, 900 must be put on top of the
largest state tax ever levied, the coun-
ties will be likely to find their own
reckoning swelled appreciably. The
authority for this statement is given
as Secretary of State Donald Taken
with the statement of State Treasurer
johnson that the treasury will be
empty by January 1st, it looks as if we
are approaching a climax of high taxes.
1t is high time the people awakened te
the wisdom of President Cleveland
statement that no money is gathered ii
taxes that does not come from the
pockets of individuals.

AN INSTRUMENT resembling a watch
has been invented in Hungary whereby
it is possible instantly to compute the
interest at any rate on any given sum
of money for any length of time. That
should give great satisfaction to the
average high school boy when he gets
as far as partial payments"
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-10-31

The latest government figures credit
Wisconsin with a standing of "a per
cent in the condition of the corn crop.
This is a higher percentage than is
given to any state in the so-called corn
belt. 1t is apparent that soon Wiscon-
sin will be credited with being a corn
state, and better than that, the silo
state of the union.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-10-31

NOTHING is more welcome than the
news of 25 per cent cut in express
rates, due to take effect Dec. 1st. The
Christmas stockings of the express
companies are not likely to be as well
filled this wear.

WHAT a whopper of state tax
