WI. LEAGUE TEAMS READY
Presence of Five New Managers in
Circuit Make Predictions on
Outcome Uncertain.

Green Bay.-With the opening in
the Wisconsin, Illinois league only a
few days off, the managers of the
eight clubs are preparing to get their
strongest combinations ready for the
initial combats. From the dope it is
a little hard to figure out how the.
clubs will line up for the race, due to
the fact that only three old managers
are left and nearly every team has
lost through sale or draft one or more
of it's stars of last season. The teams,
however, that appear strongest on pa.
per represent Oshkosh, Green Bay
and Marinette-M enominee
The old pilots who will lead clubs
in the WI. circuit again in 1914 are
Joe Killian, who won two pennants
with the Oshkosh club; Bobby Lynch,
whose Green Bay club finished in
third place last season, and Harry
Bay, the Madison clubs leader, who
set hot pace after getting acquaint-
ed with the league during the last
two months of 1913. The new mana
gers were taken from the ranks of last
year except in one case, that of Geo.
Bubser, who is to lead the Wausau
club. The other men who will have
their trials at managerial tasks are
Red" Wickenhofer of the Marinette-
Menominee club, Frank Reynolds Of
the Racine Bellies, George Brautigam
of the Appleton team and Orville
Wolfe of Rockford
From all the facts that can be OBJ
tanned from the training camps of the
eight clubs no one will have walk
away with the pennant this year. The
season gives promise of bringing forth
some baseball well, up to the WI.
standard.

VAST SUM FOR HIGHWAYS
State Will Spend About $3,60o,000 on
Construction Work Next
Year.

Madison. About $3,600,000 will be
spent in the construction of highways
in the state next year. In a letter to
the division engineers and county
highway agents in the state, A. Il.
Hirst, state highway engineer, says
that indications are that state aid
will be more than called for again
this year He urges that the counties
and towns keep down the appropria-
tons SO that the aid will not overreach
a total expenditure of $3,600,000. The
state has already appropriated $1,000
900 as its share of state aid for next
year.
Mr.. Hirst's statement that the total
appropriation for state highway aid
made will be utilized is indicated by a
statistical table, which he encloses in
the letter to the division engineers.
He has received replies from 6S7
towns, of which 421 voted taxes this
year, which is 60 per cent of the total
towns heard from. OF the total num-
Der voting taxes 325 voted taxes both
years; forty seven voted taxes in 1914
but not in 1913, and 160 voted taxes
in 1918 but not in 1914. Of the same
towns reporting in 1913 aid to the
amount of 1886, 908 was voted last year
as compared with $327,766 this year,
or a reduction of $58,142. The per-
centage of 1913 taxes voted by the
same towns in 1914 is over 50 per cent,
according to the records of the state
highway commission.

STATE WINS SUIT
AGAINST RAILROAD
SUPREME COURT ORDERS NOR.
THERN PACIFIC COMPANY
TO PAY SOS, 900.
GETS AMOUNT OF FILING FEE
In Original Action the Attorney Gen.
eraI Asked Forfeiture of company's
charter-Must Amend Articles
Of Incorporation.

Madison The Northern Pacific
railroad company must pay $95,000 in.
to the state treasury by a decision
handed down by the state supreme
court
The original company was capital
lied at $5,00O,000 and given a special
grant by the legislature. Later the
company increased its capital stock by
$150.000,OOO and again by $95,000,00O.
The attorney general claimed that the
company had failed to pay into the
state treasury the fling fee which the
law required at the time that in.
creases of capital stock we're made by
a corporation and that therefore the
state had had the right to declare the
charter of the company forfeited. Dur.
ing the time that the case had been
before the court the nature of the &C
ton was changed to the right of the
state to insist upon the payment of the
filing fee.
The court holds that inasmuch as
the first increase of capital stock OF
$3.50, 100000 was made at a time when
the law did not require filing fee and
tAat the later increase of $95.0O0,O0e
was made after the law had been
changed to require the payment of 81
for each $1,000 of insurance in stock,
the company must pay into the state
treasury $4,000 and file amendments
to its articles Of incorporation with
the secretary of state.

DEFECT IN THE ROAD LAW
Measure Providing For Improvement
Districts Said to Have Been invai-
idated by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ment tc.Many il True.

Des Moines, April +.-Communities
of the state which We're expecting to
make use Of the law enacted by the
Thirty third general assembly, author
izine the creation Of improvement dis
tricts for the paving OF highways,
probably will be disappointed for the
reason that the act is believed TO be
nullifed by an amendment which be-
came section thirteen of the law. AS
sistant Attorney General Henry Z.
Sampson has been requested TO give an
opinion on the matter.
Alrho the district law was adopted
in 1909, apparently no extensive use OF
it was planned until recently. Land
owners along the Lincoln highway, the
White Pole road and River-to- River
road, who are interested in having
sections OF the thoroughfares pared
this year, have turned to this law with
the expectation of using it. Several in
qu;ries regarding the measure also
have originated in Polk county.
The highway commission having
doubted the legality Of the law which
would permit land owners 20 form i'm
provement districts for putting thru
paving projects submitted the matter
to the attorney generals office.
The law is know as chapter ninety
five acts Of the Thirty third general
assembly. It provides that districts
may be formed for the purpose OF
ievy!ng a special tax not to exceed 2
mills to pay half of the cost Of pave
ments, the remainder to he assessed
| to the property within the district, ac-
cording to the benefits. But when the
! bill was in the house there seemed no
way 10 get it thru until the lesislat-
ors tackled on the thirteenth section,
which says:
The provisions Of this act shall not
be applicable nor shall any levy be
i made hereunder by the board Of SUI
pervisors if the levy provided in sec
ton No. 1880 OF the code supplement
of 1907 is made by the board Of super
visors herein provided"
| Section 1880 provided that the super
visers shall levy l mill tax for the
county road fund. Therefore in the
| opinion of Mr.. Sampson chapter nine
! ty-nye, acts OF the Thirty-thir gem
eral assembly. is completely nulliied.
| for the reason that the tax provided
| for in section 1880 must De levied by
| the supervisors; there is no choice in
| the matter.
