100000 BOND ISSUE
TO AID SETTLERS
Rusk County, Wis.,, the First to
Take Advantage of the Re-
cIamation Law.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July Zone Of The
most important steps for the develop
ment of northern Wisconsin has been
carried out by the county board OF Jtusk
county. in voting 500 600 of bonds to
help settlers clear their land. Rusk
counties. but 1t is the first county in the
State to take this action.
This action was taken by the Rusk
county board under what Is known as
the county reclamation law. which per
mits counties to issue bonds not to ex-
coed the per cent Limitation OF the
State constitution, less the bonds already
outstanding, and after such bonds are
sold to use such money for the clearing
OF lands for settlers within the county.
This money under the law may be paid
either to the settlers themselves or to
some expert contractor, who nay be
able to clear land cheaply.
This law provides work should be car
lied on through commission, Of which
two shall be selected by the county
board and the third to be announced by
the governor. All Of the expenses of the
commissioners and the cost and expense
of this work will be computed and pay
ment provided fer by a tax placed on
the lands that are thus cleared for y
period of from FIVE to twenty years. 1t
Is believed the county can thus sell
these bonds at about AZ per cent inter
est which would provide money for
clearing land at a much less price than
what Is now paid by settlers individual
ly throughout northern Wisconsin.
For n county to issue 100000 of bonds
for such purposes as this Is an innova.
ton, and yet II Rush county's venture
proves successful, undoubtedly hundreds
Of thousands of dollars of bonds will
thus be issued within the next four or
five years By northern Wisconsin coun-
ties
Under the per cent constitutional
limit Rush county can still issue a quar-
ter OF a million dollars OF bonds for this
purpoEe. and from the sentiment dis
played in that county 1t is evidenced
that other bond issues will follow, II

BANKS FOR SOUTH
AMERICA.


by the National City Bank of New
York toward the establishment of
branches of that institution in South
America is a much belated step on
the part of our banking institutions.
1t marks the turning point in our
heretofore intermittent efforts to de-
velop commercial relations with the
vast territory lying south of US and
under our political protecting care.
Aside from the excellent efforts
of. William R. Grace & Sons, of New
York, on the west coast, and the
Iidgerwood Machine and Singer
Sewing Machine Companies, there
have been no persistent efforts on
the part of our banking and CONNER
cial interests to wrest from the
strongly entrenched countries of Eu-
rope share of the valuable business
of Latin America. Aside from some
subsidized steamship line of years
ago, we have never had our own direct
transportation communication with
South America. Wenowdepend chiefly
on the instrumentalities of keen and
grasping competitors for the trans
mission of our confidential informa-
ton by cable and the transportation
Of what we buy from and sell to
these countries.
At present, Brazil, Argentina, and
Chile, the three largest traders, take
from Us about Is per cent of the
supplies they buy from foreign coup-
tries, and in return give the United
States about % per cent of their ex-
ports, mostly represented by coffee
from Brazil and nitrates from Chile.
All of this tonnage is carried under
the flags of other countries and the
banking is done almost entirely
through London and Berlin, netting
vast sums in freight rates and
money exchange to the commercially
supreme countries of Europe.
The opening of the Panama canal
will bring Chile, the country furthest
away from our east coast, $500
miles nearer to New York. 1t will
do even a greater thing. 1t will
cause the strategic center of the
Mediterranean, the Suez canal, to
lose its long cherished glories.
The shifting of the strategic CEN
ter of commerce to a point owned,
developed, and controlled by the
United States, the main object being
the more intensive development of
South America, affords ample reason
for Us to become the controlling COM
interest in the development
of that continent.
The establishment of branch banks
in these countries should be followed
with direct steamship communication
under our own flag, directed by our
own cables. Ther. will fol- wv, as a
matter of course, the horde of COM
mercial interests which have been
much hindered by the lack of ade-
quate transportation and communi-
cation, not to mention the enormous
loss in the present system of bank
ing exchange.

UNFAIR" COMPETITION.

OtllatOr DOTdH prOUeSIS against
the use of the term unfair compe-
tition" in the trades commission bill.
He thinks the term is too vague and
uncertain; that instead of establish
ing standard, it would open a wide
field for varying constructions to in
troduce conflict into the actual oper-
alton of the law.
The Senator's argument pretty
closely follows the line that was
taken by gentlemen who opposed the
legislation for regulation of railroad
practices. "What was a fair and
reasonable rate?" they demanded.
Who could tell what those words
meant? They pointed down the vista
of the future, to the awful maze of
conflicting determinations that they
were certain would entangle the eff
fort to run the railroads in accord
ance with any such vague definition
of a standard.
Yet the legislation passed, the
highest court has repeatedly sus-
tanned it, administration has crystal
liked very satisfactory procedure
for ascertaining how to apply its
rule, and it is as certain as any
thing can well be, that the man who
would undertake seriously to repeal
that Legislation would ruin his pub
lie career.
In the passage Of the interstate
commerce legislation, and of the an
THRUST law, it was found necessary
to use terms as simple and direct as
possible, and leave to administrative
to work out detailed def
nitions and applications. That has
certainly gone far enough reasonably
to justify the judgment that dictated
the legislation in this form. The ex-
perience of administering the inter-
state commerce act has developed
very clear and satisfactory under
standing of what a fair, just, and
reasonable rate is. 1t would seem
that no greater difficulty should be
experienced IN working out an IN
derstanding of unfair competition,
Regulation that will preserve fair
competition and reasonable equality
Of opportunity is the alternative to
an economic evolution that will bring
us first to private monopoly, and
thence to public ownership and con-
duct of businesses. Assuredly it is
not yet desirable, in the minds of
very many people, that general bust
ness should be started toward COM
munistic control. There may be
reasons in favor of public ownership
of those public facilities that are by
nature monopolistic; but those rea-
sons can hardly be urged with the
same force in favor of public owner
ship and management of the classes
OF business that would fall within
the purview of the trades commits
sion legislation.
If it is to be maintained that there
is no difference between fair and un-
fair ccmpetition-and Senator Borah
seems to feel that there is no diff
ference specific enough to be capable
of definition and accurate under
standing-then it is necessary to de-
eide whether all competition is to be
as fair or unfair. If it is
all fair, turn it loose, and let it kill
itself by its own excuses. If it is
all unfair, then the answer must be
found in its suppression through
assumption of control
over all industry.
If the difference between a fair
and an unfair rate could be deter
mined by one commission, why may
not the difference between fair and
unfair competition be similarly de-
termined?

t Mr.. Arthur j. Donniez, represent
ling the l.. NJ Booth Co., of New
York, is in Lakeland today in the
Interests of his concern, whose spe-
.cialty is the installation of water
7softening and purifying plants,
These plants are of great value from
both health and economic stand
points, and many cities are installing
them. Lakeland has the best water
in Florida, but there is certain de-
gree of hardness which if eliminated
would result in great saving OF
soap, longer life of pipes, plumbing,
boilers, ETC., besides destroying any
bacteria that might exist and rem
dering the water more pleasant to
use. At some future time, when the
city shall be in better position to
add improvements, it is not unlikely
that such plant would be very fay
orably considered. The cost of in
stallation in a town of this size is
estimated at $4,000.
