out of a situation so easily and clev-

He has been very nice to me, but
he has one nasty habit of not doing
anything all day and then beginning
to sit up and dictate all his letters

''Margie, do women have to go

pretend not to notice something with
every man we meet and the man al

A Trick Amendment.

AS a sample of the viciousness
of the proposed amendments to
the constitution of Wisconsin
which the people will be called to
vote on at the approaching cleo
ton it is worth while to consider
the one to authorize higher pay
for members of the legislature.
The present pay of legislators
is FIVE hundred dollars per SEES
sion. The adoption of the amend
ment would make it six hundred
per annum, which would be
twelve hundred dollars per SEES
sion, though the average voter,
unless his attention were espec-
iallv called to the matter, never
would think about that. The
evident intent of the trainers OF
the amendment was to frame it
in such a way that the size of the
increase would not appear SO
large as it really is.
The Evening Wisconsin reiter-
ates it's advice to its readers to
vote against every one of the
proposed amendments. -Crandon

1.-The convention which nominated

position to the present state policy of
reforestration | am opposed to the
project on the ground that there can
be no return within a reasonable time,
and maintain that as a state under
taking it is not businesslike use OF
the peoples money. The state has
purchased upwards of 100000 acres
of land for reforestratIon purposes.
The cost of operation for the year 1913
was over $34, 900. 1t has been urged
that the purchase of land be increased
to a million or more acres. 1t may
reasonably be expected that the cost
of operation will be correspondingly
increased should the purchase be
made. Inasmucb as it will require a
long time, probably hundred years,
before there can be any returns, it can
easily be seen that the investment
will be large"
