COMMISSION RULE ACCEPTED
Change Made in Form of Government
by Big Majority-Sentmen Has
Changed Since 1913.

Antigo.--The campaign for COM
mission form of government won
here, 1873 to 1872. The proposed
change was defeated a year ago by
about $50 votes. The vote today is
attributed to sympathy in behalf OF
Patrick Byrns, laborer, who is said
to have rendered bill of SIS to the
present council for cleaning the city
park. The council refused payment,
declaring the bill was not presented.
Byrns sued the city and the officials
secured change of venue, making it
impossible for Byrns, who is unable
to leave his work here, to fight the
case. Success of water plant opera
-tion in other cities under commits
sion rule also contributed toward the
success of the plan here, the city
having recently acquired the plant
from w. G.. Maxey.

Milwaukee Gets Pium-1oard VIII
Borrow $4,000 on Personal Notes
Special Meeting Scheduled.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will have a
state fair this year and it will be held
on the fair grounds in Milwaukee,
Sept. IA to Is. The state board OF
agriculture at its annual meeting
voted TO borrow $40, 900 on the per-
sonal note OF its members and to ac-
cept the $4,000 guarantee offered
by the Citizens Business league and
the Hotel Mems association of Mil
Waukee and use the money in paying
the obligations of the board until
funds are available from state APP
preparations and receipts of the next
fair. The board will hold a special
meeting in Milwaukee on Feb. 30 to
sign the note and negotiate the loan
from one of the banks there. 1t is
proposed to make the note payable
ON or before a year from its date.
The board selected the dates Sept
IA to IS, inclusive, for the next fair
after hearing delegation of repre-
sentatives of the northern part OF
the state, who urged that the fair be
held late in September. This dele
cation consisted of w. B. Webb OF
Superior. ]. G. Lewis of Amigo, J II.
Schmidt of Wausau. and NJ r. Bell
of Prentice. The dates assigned the
Wisconsin fair by the Western AS
ISOLATION of Fair and Exposition at a
meeting held in Chicago several
months ago We're from Aug % to
Sept. 5, inclusive. These proposed
dates were strongly opposed, partic-
ularly by citizens of the northern
part of the state, who said they were
too early to enable them to make
horticultural and agricultural exhib-
Its because their products would not
mature in time. The board held sew
eral hearings on the matter and An
ally decided to reject the early dates
assigned Wisconsin at Chicago and
select Sept. IA to Is, inclusive.
The fair last year was held on
Sept. to IL, which was in the sec
ond week of September. The dates
for this year will bring the fair In
the third week.

In the house of representatives, from
the same platform where five times
Mr.. Cullom was presented with fed

was draped about the speakers stand.
In the center aisle was the casket, COW
cred with flowers. On either side sat
members OF the Supreme court, state
officers, small remnant OF the old

cred eulogies of the deceased, as did

Washington, Feb. 3.-Postmaster
General Burleson submitted to the SEN
ate Saturday the recommendations of
the departmental committee appointed
by him to investigate the practicable
ity Of government monopoly of tele-
phone and telegraph lines, wireless
communication and whatever system
OF transmitting messages may later be
devised by congress.
The report declares that the only
way to afford to tae people the COM
plete and modern postal facilities that
the Constitution makes 1t duty OF
the government to provide Is by car
rying out these suggestions:
/. That congress declare a govern
ment monopoly over all telegraph. tel
ephone and radio communication and
such other means for the transmission
of intelligence as may hereafter de-
veiop
g. That congress acquire by puT-
chase at appraised value the COM
mercisLl telephone network, except the
farmer lines.

tion and under such regulations as
he may pres tribe. revocable licenses
for the operation, by private individu-
ais, associations, companies and cor
porations of the telegraph service
and such parts of the telephone serv-
ice as may not be acquired by the
government.
Government ownership OF the teie-
phone rather than telegraph lines is
recommended for the reason that teie-
graph service can be more readily SUI
perimposed on telephone lines than
telephone service ON telegraph lines.
The cost OF acquiring the telegraph
facilities is estimated at 100000,
as against $200,000,O00 for the long
distance and toll telephone lines.
