ommends Legislation in Aid Of
Rural Communities.

MADISON, Wis, March 1S-In a mes
sage sent TO the Wisconsin legislature
Gov NcGovern recommends the passage
of bill creating a state market commits

s;res enacted into law.

lature because OF the insistent demand
from the rural communities for assistance
in organizing and establishing Corpora
tive enterprises to protect the farmer
against unfair business practices and
methods of competition. The bill also
seeks to improve conditions surrounding
home life in the country and prevent the
constantly increasing influx of persons
from the rural communities to the cities

rized are:
To prevent monopoly and combinations
in every form detrimental to the people

THE WORK OF A TRADE BODY

The reorganization of the Board OF
Trade should have vital interest fol-
every citizen of Americas. The work
that such an organization accomplish
es is broad and benificent in its infu-
cuce upon every branch of trade AMI
commercial life.
During the past year the local Boari
of Trade has accomplished much for
the betterment of Americas. The pas:
year, one may readily see by survey
CT its achievements, was an unusually
successful one for Americas. The re-
port recently made by a reE essential" e
of the r. G. Dun Compcu who had
gone carefully over the work accom-
plished here during the past year,
shows in figures what Americas has
done in the way of climbing higher hD
the ladder of commercial progress.
Last years record is one that can 70
made even better this year. Co
operation and general aggressivene$ $
can accomplish wonderful things IN
the upbuilding of any city that has
such rich and varied resources for
growth. As the years pass the spiI t
Of mutual helpfulness is growing in
Americas. 1t means that the city is
growing more broadly and more per.
manently than has ever been true be-
fore.
Steadiness of growth has always
been a marked feature of the CONNER
ciaI expansion of Americus. 1t is dn
element of progress that determines
permanency in the things done. 1t is
an element that Americas has known
so long that there is no room here for
growth that fades away IN
a twinkling. The city has builded well
in the past. 1t will build better in
the future, for it is concentrating all
tEc energies and interests of all of it's
in developing into a great =
and more permanent business and
spiritual life.

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS-

New York World.)

We cannot believe that President
Wilson was we'll advised in going 10
the Capitol to consult with the men,
bers of the Senate finance committee
about the Underwood tariff bill
We are not disturbed by the cry of
usurpation, or by the specious plea
that presidential visits to the Capitol
are an lnsidious form of executive in
timidation.
cannot afford to take the chance of be-
liz, publicly flouted by senator or a
representative He cannot afford %
take the chance f having his leader
ship publicly rebuked as private med
ding. But this is what he does when
he goes to the Capitol for conferences
with members CT Congress.
AT the other end OF pennsylvania
avenue there is a White House with
commodious executive offices. BY the
unwritten law of Washington the
President may see whomeyer he pleas
es to see. The senator or representa-
tive who is summoned to the WhitC
House must go or label himself as d..
ficient in the ordinary amenities OF
official life. 1t is impossible for the
President to be insulted in the White
House. Congressional callers may
agree with him or disagree with him,
but there is a line than none of them
may cross without, in a sense, ostra-
cizing himself politically.
1t is quite different matter when
the President goes to the Capitol as an
advocate of legislation. There he is
