AUTOMOBILES sTARvE FLIES


reports from various quarters in
dlcate that there are many less flies
this summer. Inasmuch as time
takes the edge off of past pain and
the decrease is much greater than
any of us realizes.
Undoubtedly, the "swat the fly"
campaigns and, even more, the
"starve the fly" campaigns have a
most powerful influence. Never be-
fore has the general interest in an
Initiating the fly equalled the pres
ent.
In citing the various agencies to
which credit is due, sight must not
be lost of the automobile. The in
crease in the number of automobiles
and the decrease in the number of
driving horses, particularly, is hav-
ing a marked influence in Kidding
residence neighborhoods of fles.
Private stables which used to
furnish their full quota of uncovered
manure boxes are now locked or
used as automobile garages. A hasty
survey of a large residence neigh
borhoOd in Milwaukee failed to dis
cover a single stable in use. In this
district there were years ago (when
it was much less populous) large
number of fly maintaining horses.
The better class residence districts
of New York have, for years, been
comparatively free from flies. In
deed, window screens have been
comparatively scarce That this has
been due, in part at least, to the pro-
hibitive cost of maintaining private
driving horses cannot be denied.
With the passing of the horse,
there will come great i'm
provement in the general sanitary
conditions of our cities. The streets
will be maintained in clean con-
dition at less cost than has been re-
CURED to keep them partially so.
While horses will continue to be
extensively used for some years to
come, the tendency will be to concen-
trate their stabling. With this con-
centration there will be greater pos
sibilities for local health officials to
maintain more rigid enforcement of
sanitary regulations.
Ie must not be forgotten that III
spite of this years gains upon the
fly, that the period of their greatest
prosperity is the present one. Vigi-
lance needs to be maintained. New
interest needs to be stimulated.
Above all, waning interest needs to
be revivified and fortified. Fortu--
nately for us, the fly has no sense.
He doesn't know he is being licked.

FRANK FOOTE
FOR STATE SENATE

All conservative Republicans and
Democrats who want to see man
elected to the state senate, who will
do his level best for the taxpayer
should cast their vote both in the
primary and in the election for Frank
Foote of Lake Mills. Mr.. Foote is a
safe and conservative business man.
He thinks straight and will vote
straight. We have known Mr. Foote
for forty-eight years and because of
that acquaintance we heartily rec
ommend him to the confidence of all
Jefferson county voters.
We badly need such men in the
legislature who will turn in and help
straighten up that miserable mess
Progressives have made-Jefferson

payers.

The taxpayers of this state,
should they desire to be relieved
from the burden of excessive tax
alton that has obtained the past
fourteen years under so-called
progressive administrations, will
vote at the primary and general
elections for Emanuel I. Phillips
for governor. Should he be elected
the expenditures of the state will
be reduced about to 7 million dol
lars annually and the great army
of taxeaters be reduced in number
one-half, if not two-thirds. At the
present time about 5000 men are
on the state pay roll and a half of
that number transact all the bust
ness as efficiently, if not more SO,
than at the present time. The ex-
penditureS last year aggregated
about SIC, 900, 900, half of which
sum could have been saved by sane
and economical management. 1t is
estimated that during the past
twelve years the people have been
robbed of at least $40, 900, 900 by
excessive and unnecessary taxation
to create and maintain a progress
sive political machine. There is no
difference between the progressive
republicans and progressive dem
ocrats iso-called) for they have
acted together as was demonstrated
two years ago and from them no
reform can be expected.
