BAR ASSOCIATION
RECEIVES COMMITTEE REPORTS

ed to prevent the loss of any rights
of the United States.
Our relations with Japan con
tinue to be disturbed by the denial
by some states of this union of GER
tain rights claimed by her nationals.
1t is respectfully submitted that
like all matters of foreign relations
this matter must, by the rules of
the constitution and of expediency
alike, be controlled and adjusted by
the federal authorities as the inter-
ests of the whole country may seem
to require"
The international law committee
also approved the proposed interna-
tional conference for the unification
of laws relating to bills of exchange;
and the proposed international
agreement in respect to deck car
goes exported from the United
States in the winter time.
The committee on commercial
law reports in favor of the cOntinu-
ance of the national bankruptcy act
and opposes all legislation to repeal
the act.
Simplicity and clearness of laws,
so as to be understood by the ave
age citizen, is strongly urged by the
special committee on legislative
drafting. 1t refers in this connec-
ton to the GROWING mo~nstrosity
of the intome tax act" with it's in
volved phraseology and ne attempt
whatever at orderly arrangement"
The formal defects of the act are
pointed out under nine heads, n OF
them showing certain sentences, so
worded as to make no sense II liter
ally interpreted" The committee
adds:
Though we claim to be a demo-
cratic government, our statutes are
addressed to lawyers and not to
the people,; a layman can hardly be
expected to understand their phrase
ology. The principal German stat
utes, particularly the civil code, are
published in cheap, popular and
Mandy eQ1tlOnS, anu are lOuHu III
hundreds of thousands of homes.
The extraordinary sense of legality
of the German people is not entirely
~unconnected with the intelligibility
of their laws"
The committee on taxation also
admitted a report on the involved
and confused form of the income
tax law, and recommended it's re-
vision, as follows:
Apart from specific defects, the
and language of the act as
a whole is open to the gravest objec-
lions. A revision of the law should
therefore extend to it's form as well
to it's substance. The entire act
be reconstructed, and there
be placed upon the statute
book an income tax law so arranged
and expressed as to be convenient
for reference, consistent in all its
parts and capable of being under
stood by a citizen of average intelli-
gence."

Terms and THEIR MEANING

The Weekly Dispatch of London.
in a copy that has just reached
Goldfield, contains an article on
army terms and their meaning" as
follows:
The commencement of a big cam
paign means the introduction of
quite a number of strange words
into the columns of a newspaper,
words which to the ordinary layman
are quite unknown. In order that
the reader may better understand
what is happening at home and
abroad a simple glossary of tech
nical terms is appended and will be
found of considerable assistance.
The army-Usually three to four
army corps form a British army.
Army corps-Two or three divi-
sions, usually two active and m Of
reserve. The German army corps
of two divisions has $4,000 men
and a combatant strength of $4,000
rifles, As machine guns, 1900 sabres
and 144 guns. The French and
iNuSSldu army COi po aiC pioSIiSoiiy
the same.
Infantry division-Twenty thou
sand men is the smallest tactical
unit which possesses all arms. 1t is
normally of IL battalions and has
from Sc to ~ guns, besides field
companies of engineers, medical,
supply, signal and transport serv-
ices. The cavalry with the division
is usually two squadrons, but in
some cases more.
Cavalry division-Two to four
brigades of cavalry and one to four
batteries of horse artillery, besides
mounted engineers and auxiliary
services. The normal foreign cav
airy division has $500 men, and a
comtatant strength of $500 sabres,
IL guns and eight machine guns.
Infantry brigade-In our army
four battalions each 1000 strong. In
most foreign armies two regiments

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. = EN-
phatic opposition to the judicial re-
call, a plea that congress should ap-
ply the same rule to injunction in
labor cases as to other cases of in
junction, and references to Panama
tolls and Japanese immigration, are
among the questions treated in re-
ports of committees presented today
to the American bar association, now
in annual session here.
Concerning the status of judicial
recall agitation, the committee to
oppose judicial recall reports in part
as follows:
"A preceptible change in senti-
ment toward the judicial recall is
slowly but surely showing itself
among the people of the different
states. In many localities it's true
nature is not yet understood. In
most states the average voter has, as
yet, insufficient appreciation of it's
baneful character. The work of edu-
cation must be continued. The
signs, however, of increasing enlight-
ment, due to persistent efforts of it's
opponents, are everywhere apparent.
Former leading advocates of judi
cial recall are saying less about it.
Some of them are 10Y saying moth
ing about it. Some have apparently
given up the idea of the recall OF
judges and have turned to the judi
cial decision recall as a substitute.
Others, more adrOit, have apparently
given up both the recall of judges
and the recall of judicial decisions
and have retreated to positions less
a%ntagOnistic to constitutional democ-
racy."
Injunction legislation before the
present congress receives extended
treatment by the committee in charge
Of this subject. The provision linz.
iting injunction in labor disputes,
originally incorporated in the anti
trust legislation of the house OF rep
recentatives, and later amended by
the senate, is criticized by the COM
mittee, which says:
'The provision distinctly requires
the court to apply to controversies in
labor cases a different rule from tnat
which is applied in other cases. 70
give special privileges to any class
of men is opposed not only to the
Declaration of independence, but to
the whole theory of our government.
On this point all parties agree.
"Can it have occurred to the gen
tlemen who propose this legislation
that if the courts cannot decide these
controversies ~peaceably, they will
be decided by force? The shocking
of the latter method We see
plainly in Colorado. Would it not
have been better to have the ques-
tions which have given rise to blood"
shed there decided in an orderly man
ner by the Colorado courts?
your committee is not opposed to
organized labor. We freely concede
to laboring men the same right to
organize that their employers pos
sess. We are persuaded that in OPP
posing the proposed legislation we
are the tru friends of BOTH"
The Panama tolls question and
Japanese immigration are referred
to in the report of the committee on
International laws, as follows:
"The discussion arising between
the United States and Great Britain
and other countries as to free tolls
for coasting vessels of the United
States has been amicably terminated
by the repeal of the free tolls by
congress by a statute carefully word !

Skeleton Is Found

Mute evidence of a tragedy, which
probably occurred during the early
days of the district, was uncovered
in an old and abandoned mining shaft
near Phoebe recently when Wilkes
Campbell and his brother, Floyd,
dug up a skeleton of a human being.
Although the bones were badly de-
composed, the skull was sufficiently
preserved to prove that the victim
had been murdered.

pany, the second reduction since the
curtailment of copper on account of

sixty employees will be discharged
soon. The shutdown followed the
action of company directors in pass
ing the dividend.

One of the objects for which
many thousands in this ountry are
saving is the ownership of their
ZONES This is a purpose which
bankers are always glad to
age because the home owner is an
especially desirable citizen, and he
usually calls upon the bank to aid
him in attaining his purpose.
In the owned home the ideal fam
lily life is found. Children are
brought up in the most wholesome
surroundings. The man who owns
his home has increased his assets of
self respect and independence. He
has high ideals and a deep sense Of
the responsibilities of life. He Is
generally optimistic and bears the
troubles that come during a life
time more easily than the man who
is living for the moment.
He studies civic problems; he
wants to know who's who in mu-
nicipal affairs, as he pays taxes di-
rectly out of his pocket, and thus
the matter is brought closer to him
than in the indirect way of paying
rent.
He takes comfort in the fact
and his wife sleeps better for it
that if he is taken away his wife
and children will have a DOT over
their heads. The family is kept in
tact through the ownership of the
home. The widow keeps the chill
dren in school and gives them a bet
ter start in life. Many cases of this
kind are known.
So, if you are reasonably sure of
being located permanently in one
place of business, it will pay you to
save money and buy your home

WITNESSES TO Be VOLUNTARY
No subpoenas Are Issued by the Com
mission or by the City and All VIII
be Given Chance to Present Their
Views to the Commissioner.
Iron Wednesdays -Dailyl

The representative of the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission will be in Keno
sha at ten o'clock Thursday morning
for final hearing on the question of
an increase in the rates to be charged
by the Kenosha Water Company and
people desiring to make any statement
II regard to the proposed change in
rates either for or against the change
will be heard at this time. The 9ar-
ing will be under the direction of
Commissioner David Harlowe, who has
held many commission hearings in the
city in the past.
No witnesses have been subpoened
by the city or by the members of the
board of water commissioners, but
members of the commission will be on
hand to lay before the commission the
plans of the water board and show the
demand for an increase in rates to pro-
vide for the funds necessary to make
improvements planned. This statement
will be one Of interest to the people of
the city and it has been prepared with
great care by the commissioners This
statement is a presentation of the
argument for the increase of the rates
and it has been made without any idea
to color conditions. The commissioners
have declared from the first that they
are acting as the servants of the peo-
pie of the city and that they desire
every action taken to be open and
above board. The commissioners will
be on hand to answer any questions
which may be sought by the state
representative.
No witnesses have been subpoened
for the hearing on Thursday" said At
torney J. G. Slater this morning, "and
appearances before the state commits
sion viii for the most part be volun-
tary. The water board has suggested
that the hearing be held in Kenosha
because they felt that the plan sug-
gested was an entirely just one and
one for the best interests Of the city
and for this reason they desired every
person in Kenosha to have a chance to
be heard without his being forced to
go to Madison to appear before the
commis 5ioners there. We expect to
close up the hearing on Thursday
After the evidence has been taken
in Kenosha the members of the state
commission will be in position to
consider the matter in conference and
it is expected that an effort will be
made to rush the decision in order
that it may be made public before the
first of December, the date set for the
new rates to go into effect.
