Patriotism Now Not Partisanship.

To the Voters of Wisconsin,
Now that the campaign of 1914 is on,
the Home Rule and Tax Payers league
comes to you with an earnest appeal
for thoughtful, unselfish, patriotic ac-
ton.
Do not let narrow partisanship either
dim your vision or influence your ac-
ton. A few things are clear and plain
to all observing men. The people OF
Wisconsin are overgoverned. They are
overtaxed. There are too many offic-
ials. If there is any truth in the state
ment, "that government is best that
governs least" then our people have a
right to protest against the present
condition of things; and they do pro-
test. They demand change. They
demand relief from excessive taxation.
They demand repeal OF obnoxious
laws that deprive them OF the right to
manage their own private business, TO
have a voice in all matters OF local
self-government. They resent the con-
slant, unnecessary, offensive lnterfer-
ence of petty officials. They believe IN
a genuine, intelligent democracy that
is, in government of, for and by the
people" The league believes that we
have drifted away from such a govern
ment. We have been and now are
plagued with a swarm of experts,
specialists and inspectors, whose ser
vices are not needed, whose activities
demoralize business and exasperate our
most enterprising citizens and whose
salaries and expenses, constantly in
creasing, eat out the substance of the
people.
Not only are our statutes overloaded
with freak legislation, but our consti--
tuition is in danger Political folly and
partisan prejudice have combined in an
attempt to make our fundamental law
the receptacle of every fad and fancy
that afflict the legislative tyro. Wis
consn has grown; our people have
prospered genuine progress has been
made under the constitution as it Is, as
the men VINO founded the state framed
it. Do not permit those who are re-
sponsihle for the present condition OF
things in this state to tamper with that
organic law in and by which the people
are protected and their rights secured.
They have done harm enough already.
From all parts of the state the demand
comes for the repeal of some of the
foolish, unjust laws we now have in
stead of adding mischlevous amend
ments to the constitution.
See to it that in your different locali-
ties the principles of the league are
clearly understood, and that support is
given only to those candidates who are
thoroughly in sympathy with US.

THAT the stock insurance companies
collected in Wisconsin for workmen' s
compensation premiums in 1913, the
sum of $957, 46936 and paid in losses
only $115, O4279, loss ratio of II per
cent or a collection of 1888. 80 in prem
iums for each 500 in losses paid, is the
statement of Commissioner of Insur-
ance Ekern in recent address before
the national convention of insurance
commissioners. Mr.. Ekern said: 1.-THE
tremendous increase in the insurance
taken by the employers in Wisconsin
since workmen's compensation became
a fixed policy is of great interest. This
offers very inviting field for insur-
ance ability and capital. At the same
time, the greater ease with which the
business is written and the increased
volume of the business call upon the
insurance men for such changes in the
business as will very materially reduce
the proportion Of expenses to benefits
paid. "

Wisconsin Farmers Can Prevent Mil
lion Loss

Heavy losses from the destructive
white grub will occur in large areas of
Wisconsin in the summer of 1915, I'M
less our farmers use every means to
prevent it's the warning issued by
Prof. J. G. Sanders, entomologist of
the Agricultural Experiment Station at
Madison.
The losses in 1915 promise to be as
great or greater than in 1912 when 30
per cent of the corn crop was ruined.
This trouble will occur every third year
until more efficient controls are found.
Professor Sanders and other entomol-
ogists are trying to work out better
control methods, but for the present
the following recommendations are
made to farmers for checking the white
grub, wherever the June beetle (the
adult stage of the grub were plentiful
this summer:
l. Fall plow and drag Immediately
all fields where corn will be planted
next year.
2. Plant corn again on 1914 corn
land
3. 1t will be comparatively safe to
plant corn in a field with pure stand
of clover in 1914
T. Do not plant corn on sod land
plowed up next spring.
Special insect control problems Of all
kinds will receive attention free OF cost

THAT there has been wild extrava-
gance everywhere in this country will
not be denied. We have, as a nation,
as state, and as individuals. INDUCED
in ever-increasing luXuries without
counting the cost for so long that it has
become habit to believe that thing
is necessary simply because we desire
it. The war in Europe has brought
home the realization that this course
must stop. AS individuals we will have
to live on a more simple scale; as a
municipality we shall have to abandon
attempts to cope with improvements
by our neighbors simply to equal or ex-
eel them and thus crafty civic pride;
as state we need to largely curtail
the extravagant program laid out by
the tax MASTERS; and as nation "pork
barrel bills and extravagant admins
tration by department heads will not
be tolerated.

How many of you good citizens have
taken the trouble to read any one, not
to say all, of the nine proposed amend
ments to the state constitution which
appear on page six of this paper? There
are not many of you, that's sure, and
we hardly blame you for they at least
are dry reading and not clear as to pur-
pOse>in all cases. The safe thing to do
is to vote against all of them. For the
most part they propose changes in gov
ernmental methods that are of very
doubtful value, are experiments, so to
speak, that the ultra progressives
would have US try on in Wisconsin-at
our own expense of course-for the
benefit of other states too businesslike
in their methods to rush into new
schemes until they have been tested.
Wisconsin has enough new schemes on
foot to keep her statesmen busy for
ten years. Let us adjust and make
practical those that we now have and
let some other commonwealth do the
expensive experimentation along the
lines suggested in these amendments.
Vote mo- on all of them. White

HENRY WEMMER, Lima, Ohio, cigar
manufacturer, who was in Europe when
the war broke out, in a recent inter-
view on his return, said: '"The war
had one effect upon the German people
about which nothing has been said, yet
which | believe is vitality significant 1t
has brought a return to the old ways
of seriousness and soberness in thought
and actiorf The whole nation is i'm
pressed with the awful solemnity of
the affair, of its terrible Importance to
the national destiny and to their indi-
vidual lives. The frivolity and folly
that has made up, in late years, so
large part of the peoples lives, the
tango teas, the taste for nasty sex
plays, for suggestive dancing, the craze
for fine clothes, for pleasure and ex-
element were swept away in single
day, and overnight the nation returned
to the old way of plain living and high
thinking, of sacrifice and soberness.
Germany came to its senses, and it has
had time to remember that there is q
God. In place of theatrical shows AND
things of that sort, religious services
are being held every day, and they are
so crowded that overflow meetings
have to be held on the outside. | have
no doubt that the same effect is being
felt In England and the other countries
engaged in the war; would be glaC
to think that America would catcf
some OF that spirit, for it is needed.

WHY should the hundred million-dol-
lar tax the Democrats are about to
foist on the people be called ''war
tax?'' This country is at war with no
nation on earth. We are not mixed up
in the terrible European conflict at all.
The truth is, the Democrats proposed
this tax to cover their own gross ex-
travagance of the peoples money. The
tax ought to be termed an urgent de-
ficiency'' tax since its main purpose is
to raise money to supply the deficiency
in revenue resulting from the Demo
cratic tariff law. Lake Geneva Herald.
