Wisconsin's annual output of dairy
products exceeds 500, 900, 600. This is
the startling statement contained in
the Forthcoming biennial report of

This is an increase of more than SIS per
cent. in five years, the United States
census report for 1910 giving the total
value of all Wisconsin dairy products
for 1909 as $53, SOS, OPS. Wisconsin pos
sesses natural resources. There is no

ExrRAvAcANcI An rHE BOTTOM on Il AM

EXTRAVAGANcE AT THE BOTTOM OF II ALL
An agricultural paper declares that
farm tenancy is the greatest menace
now confronting the nation and can
only be checked by affording the :en-
ant and the laberer facilities for ac-
curing property and by reducing he
high rates of interest which are now
sapping the vitality of agriculture. -
The greatest menace now affecting the
state and nation is excessive taxation.
Every industry feels the oppression,
and unless better business methods and
decent degree of economy are evolv-
ed the burden will soon be too great
for any class to bear. AS to interest
rates, the farmers and farm securities
OF any com immunity bear a less
rate than do large and small business.
In Wisconsin the republican party
has made start toward better meth
DDS, greater economy and efficiency by
nominating for the had of government
thorough business n an, one who will
conduct public affairs along right lines
instead of political sclIeming at the ex-
pense of the ax-payers Because this
is so dozen political lawyers, office
holders who are afaid they will lose
their easy and lucrative jobs, and dis
appointed politicians, gathered in Mil
waukee hotel and brought out one of
their number in hopes of defeating the
will of the people as expressed at the
primary. Let no republican or tax
payer be deceived by their empty la
mentations. 1t is their last hope to
perpetuate themselves or their friends
in fat jobs and make more heavy the
yoke of oppressive taxation Blaine,
their independent" candidate, as a
late member of the legislature, was a
champion of the fads and fancies that
are in large measure responsible for
the almost confiseatory taxation that
is upon the people, And in the face OF
all this cry against btate burden Blaine
declares openly for their continuance.
If there is desire upon the part of the
people to fnrthur petpetuate thi' reigr
of heavy tax-paying they shoe vote
for Blaine. If they want to fr, = them
selves from this bondage they n safe.
ly vote for Emanuel L. Phillip, the
business man, who was REGULAR nom
mated for governor by the p, ople al
the primaries as direct protesr against
further excessive taxation in W. sconsin.

SHOULD BE REspkcrEp oR REPkALEn

When the editor of the CENSOR was
a member of the legislature he favored,
worked and voted for the primary cleo
ton law, SO that the people might
rule" In practice it seems that when
ever a few disgruntled, self anointed
leaders, professed friends of the law,
fail to nominate themselves or the par
ticular candidates they desire they
promptly attempt to overturn the re-
suit of the primary~determine that the
people shall not rule, make a mockery
of their principles and bring out indie
pendent candidates. This class of pro-
fessionals are the very fellows who
sneer and jeer at those who justly COM
plain of burdensome taxation.
We should either respect the will of
the people-let the people rule-abide
by the result of the system we estab-
lished with such such high praises, or
repeal the law.

REPUBLICAN STAND
ON COMMISSIONS
RETAIN ONLY THOSE THAT HAVE
PROVED ESSENTIAL TO THE
PEOPLES WELFARE.
PLANK IN STATE PLATFORM
Believe In Concentrating Responsible
ity in Hands Of Constitutional
Officers.

Milwaukee, Oct. 14-Referring to
commissions, Emanuel L. Philip,
Republican candidate for governor.
said in his Glenwood City keynote
speech on Sept. %:
In my primary campaign / urged
that all unnecessary commissions be
abolished. / maintained that the
delegation of power to boards and
commissions which are out Of reach
of the people is building up a waste
full, meddleso2e and dangerous bu-
reaucraey that is destructive of the
fundamental of government and the
American principle of home rule The
Republican platform convention
adopted the following resolution up
on this subject:
I'VE believe in constitutional
govern ment and in concentrating re-
sponsiLility for government in the
hands % the constitutional officers
OF the state, who are elected by the
people and who are directly respon-
sible to the people. We promise the
abolition of all commissions that can
be dispensed with, retaining only
such as experience has proved are
essential to the welfare of the people
This is substantially what urged
during the primary campaign. This
resolution was unanimously adopted
at the platform convention; and mas
much as this convention included all
Republican nominees for the legisla-
ture, and the state officers on the Re-
publican ticket, it is an assurance to
the public that the Republican party
is now thoroughly committed to this
program"
