A Good Showing for Wisconsin.

Madison correspondent Of the Mil
waukee News: The per capita cost on
government in Wisconsin is much low
er than many other states Is the con
clusion reached by A. b. Nye, state
controller of California. In II detailed
report, II copy of which han just been
received ut the Office of the secretary of
state here, Mr.. Nye finds that the per
capita expenditure for government in
New York is $7d4; in Massachusetts,,
SALT in Michigan, 81 40 in Minnesota,
$6.42; in California, $6.73, and in Wis
consln, $4,i3. The Minnesota figures
are for 1910. All of the other figures
are either for 1911 of 1919. Nearly all
of the expenditures of government in
Wisconsin are compared in detail with
those of California. Some of the more
important comparative items show that
Wisconsin operates much cheaper.
The increasing cost of government in
all the states in the past ten years is
made the subject of special study in
the report. 1t is pointed out in the re
port that Wisconsin has no more
governmental machinery than in other
states of similar size and less than
some states that are spoken of rs pro.

Those senators who are delaying the
passage of the tariff bill while they

Even the strongest Republican news

says
business wants to shake reef out,

IL cant do that until the national pala

and does what it il eventually bound to
do-pass this administration tariff bill
Let's have 1t over with Let's see
how far our democratic friends can re-
deem the campaign promise they were
elected ON, and reduce the cost Of living
by reducing the tariff.
IF they make good there, nobody
will be more gratited than we, And,
to speak II frank word, we haven't the
least idea that general business is going
to the "demnition bowwows" because
of II new tariff. 1t is II big country,

 Little ROck-tttempts to enforce the Arkansas law governing the hours of worl. for telephone and telegraph operators probably will be dropped by J. c. Clary commissioner of the Bu- reau of Labor and Statistics. Attorney General w l.. Moose has given an opinion which sets forth that a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. involving the act of Congress intended to govern hours of operators, renders the Arkansas act in. effective. although the numbers of hours specified in the state law is less than the number specified in the act of Congress-
 The matter was brought to the at tention of the state c ficials several weeks ago, when report were received by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics that telegraph operators on several lines of railway in Arkansas are fore ed to work longer than the state law pfesCribCs. An investigation of the cases reported showed that the com plaints were not without foundation. it is said, and the attorney general was sought for an opinion concerning the effectiveness of the Arkansas law.

 to the Constitution.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock. The Confederation of German Societies, at it's annual meet ing in this city, adopted a resolution calling for an amendment to the intia- tive and referendum amendment to the constitution. to prevent the legisla ture from using the emergency clause to defeat the will of the people as eX- pressed at the polls.
 The passage of this resolution was the result, it is said, of dissatisfac- ton over the passage of the Going bill which the courts have held cannot be referred to a vote of the people be- cause the legislature attached the emergency clause to the measure.
 Several hundred German citizens Of the state, with members of their fami lies, were in attendance at the meet ing
 The spirit of patriotism among Ger mans was brought out in the program presented. One-of the features of the session was patriotic address by Rev Father George Binkert of Subiaco. who talked of the victories gained by the Germans and their allies over Napo- leon. This address was followed by the presentation of a patriotic play entitled Die Ludowitz."

SHIPPERS ARE ENDOWED
Cannot File Suits to Recover Over,
 Charges From Railroads

Western Newspaper Union Nebs Service
 Little Rock.-Shippers who have claims against the railroads as a re. suit ot the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court sustain ing the Arkansas Railroad Commis. slon's freight tariff, have been re- strained from filing suits against the railroads but must file their claims with the special master appointed by Judge Trieber of the Federal court. The re slralning order was granted on the pe- utlon of the Iron Mountain railroad
 The court has extended the time within which these claims may be flled until January l, 1914 The limit was originally set at November |. but on the application of the railroad com mission Judge Triebcr extended tho time. as shippers claimed that they could not get their claims into shape by November l.
 It is estimated that the amount which the railroads will be compelled to refund to shippers and passengers will be between $2,0O0000 and 5000. 900. This amount represents the diff ference between the amount paid hy shippers and passengers and the amount that would have been paid if the enforcement of the twO-cent rate law and the commissions freight tariff had not been enjoined for a period of about four years.
