| WaterpoWer men to sign a contract
which at the expiration OF 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 stormy time of it. The SEN
ate voted to kill the bill and then fol.
lowed 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 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 Plurkett, who has accomplish
ed such notable results through the
establishment of system of cooper
alive buying and selling.
Must Give Farmer Aid.
1--WE 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-
| TEN 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 tremendously big subject
both to the nation and to the states"
Wisconsin is turning it's attention
| to more sanitary conditions in 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-
| tons.
| 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 1t desires
to be represented by a party ticket
that it must use a separate ballot 1t
| is generally admitted that to go be-
fore the voters under these conditions
will prove a 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. Morris 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 a
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 that
Senator Scott ought to run Speaker
Merlin Hull has his ear to the ground,
as they say in politics, and it is likely
that he, too, will be candidate to
| succeed McGovern.
