REPRESENTATION IS CHANGED
REDUCTION IN SOUTH ERIN
STATES VOTE WILL FOLLOW.
States Must Ratify Action Before 1t
Becomes the Law of
the Party.

Washington, Dec. 19.-By adopting
resolution providing for a radical
change in the basis of representation
on the national nominating commit,
tees which would reduce the quota
of southern states from 33 to 16 per
cent of the conventions total vote, the
Republican national committee con-
Guided It's work for the reform i'll party
procedure and launched its campaign
for reunion of warning elements.
The action of the committee, crit.
icized in vigorous terms by several OF
it's members, but made unanimous be-
fore adjournment, must be endorsed
by states entitled to cast a majority
of votes in the electoral college be.
fore it becomes a party law.
In order that such action shall be
promptly taken the committee appoint,
ed q subcommittee of three, consist
ing of Charles B. Warren of Michi
gan; Senator Borah of Idaho, and Gov
ernor Hatfield of West Virginia, to
prepare an address to the states urg
ing immediate ratification of the pro
posal. This address will be drawn
up shortly before the holidays and
leading members of the committee eN
pressed the hope that it would meet
early action.
Approval by the states will insure a
call from the national committee fOI
the national convention of 1916 along
the lines just laid down.
The reorganization plan adopted
came as d compromise which reflected
the views Of many committeeman that
southern representation should be re-
duced but not brought to the vanish,
ing point.
The new basis of representation
shall not be made the basis for the
call of the national convention to be
held in the year 1916, unless prior to
January 1, 1915, Republican state con,
ventions held under the laws Of the
states or called by the Republican
states committees of the states in such
number of states as are entitled to
cast a majority of the votes in the
present electoral college, shall ratify
the action of this committee in re-
spect to determining this basis of rep
resentatiOn.

approval in the report of Second Is
sistant Postmaster General Stewart
The report says that such expert
ments as heretofore have been made
in the carrying Of mail by aoroplanes

thus transported were entrusted only
to sworn carriers. The satisfactory
performance of the service has in

art FOR an appropriation Of $4,000 for
a regular experimental acroplane ser

MARRIAGE LICENSE
IS NOT NECESSARY
MEMBER OF THE U. S. SUPREME
COURT DECLARES CERE-
MONY NEEDLESS.
BLOW FOR EUGENICS LAW
Judge Says Mutual Agreement TO Ac.
cept Each Other is Sufficient,
and This VIII Prevent En-
forcement of Statute.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. %. - The
Wisconsin eugenic marriage law,
which goes into effect on January !,
and which has created statewide
discussion for several weeks, received
a severe jolt when Horace +. Vain
sIey, member of the bar of the SUI
preme court of the United States,
came forth with statement that a
marriage ceremony in Wisconsin is
unnecessary and therefore the eu-
genie measure is useless.
Can't Enforce Law.
"All that is required in this state is
that two persons who are not married
at the time agree to accept each 9th
er as mates" said Mr. Walmsley. mo
service is necessary and the physical
examination required by the late law
cannot be enforced"
The contention of Mr.. WaImsley is
based on a decision Of the state SUI
preme court of April s, 1913. The de-
cisiOn says that any man or woman
not married at the time may make a
legal and valid contract of marriage
without any license, medical eXamina-
ton, priest, clergyman or magistrate.
All that is required is that two persons
agree to take each other as man and
wife and begin to live together in that
relation.
No Evidence Required.
No written statement nor witnesses
are required, but the court suggested
that for the benefit of both parties it
would be well to sign an agreement.
The court also suggested that there
be duplicate copies Of the agreement
so that both parties may be supplied.
This discovery has thrown the Ell
genie supporters into a state OF uncer-
tainty. They are beginning to feel
that the law is useless. The opponents
of the law are happy and nov every
one is awaiting the new year 10 see
just what will happen.
The decision of the supreme court
permitting marriages without licenses
and examinations will hold after Jan.
] and cannot be changed until the next
meeting Of the state legislature.

toned the school fund income when.
had accrued up TO and including De-
cember 1, 1913, together with the
amount hereafter to accrue to such
income from the state tax levy made
the same year, and the 100000 to be
appropriated from license fees and
taxes paid by corporations as re-,
CURED by section 654 OF the statutes
The total amount apportioned is
$2,21S,2166S
The total number of persons or

the first class on June 80, 1913, as re-
ported, was 649.536. The number Of

ing in the state on June 30, 1913, was
77O,S20. The per capita for persons
of school age living outside of cities
of the first class was $2.S652. The
per capita of persons living in cities
of the first class was $29652.
The total number of persons OF
school are reported living in the sew
eral counties below will be found to
be SS4 less than the total number re
ported, owing TO the fact that Ii has
been necessary to withhold aid from
Il school districts for failure to COM
ply with section 554a of the statutes
1t has been necessary to withhold
from two districts their share of the
seven-tenths mill tax for failure to
comply with section SIT, chapter 50,
laws of 1913
1t has also been necessary to de-
prive four districts of their right to
share in the apportionment of the
seven-tenths mill tax for failure TO
comply with the provisions of section
430f of the statutes.
The amount apportioned and the
number of children in the several
counties in the state, with the excep-
lions as noted above, is as follows.

gon, hog cholera has prevailed serious
! ly, much vaccinating done with fair re-
suits following, and yet some failures.
The season has been wet, autumn es-
pecially, delaying work Of season. PO-
tato crop mild, some good, some poor,
below average. Hail, washed out,
worms scab, etc, cause of failure. On
account of wet weather fall work is
farther behind than for many years
past"
Speaking generally on conditions in
| Wisconsin Secretary Mackenzie says:
The average yield of clover seed
for the state is 2.S bushels as com
pared with the yield of 81 bushels in
| 1912, and the quality of the product f.
| 93.S per cent. The average Of timothy
seed is 6.1 bushels as compared with 6
bushels in the year 1912, and the quail
| ity of the product is SO per cent
The percentage of the 1913 product
still remaining in the hands of the
| farmer on the date Of this report is
as follows: Wheat sos per cent. :;
| rye, 70: barley, IA; oats, 1913; corn,
$780, buckwheat, 1873; flax, 1873;

| falfa acreage 1885, condition 9G.4
winter wheat acreage 93.3, condition

age of blowing done November 10 was
! 65.3. The weather conditions subse.
quent to that date, however, have
been most favorable, and the percent
age Of blowing done December ! will
be fully up to the average Of previous
| years.
"A close canvass Of the state shows
that there is total Of 1881 silos on
the farms in Wisconsin, approximate
| ly one-fourth of the farmers of the
state are using silos, and the indica-
tons are that double this number
will be in use within the next two
