Phillip Hears Farmers Protest.

Twenty or more Rock county farm
ers called upon Gov. E. L. Philip at
Madison to protest against the obiec-
tionable features of the quarantine
imposed by the federal government
following the foot-and-mouth disease
epidemic, and to secure an early lift
ing of the restrictive regulations.
Attorneys NJ G. Jeffris. Charles
Pierce and John l. Fisher presented
the facts to the governor. 1t was
claimed that stock raisers anG breed
ers of Rock county are suffering
losses of $1,000 day as result of
the quarantine which practically pre-
vents all trade in live stock, despite
certain notifications in the quaran-
tine order. It was pointed out that
stock which is now shipped to outside
markets, especially the Chicago stock
yards, under the approval of an in
spector as recently provided, is con-
signed to the quarantine pens and
sells at prices averaging one dollar
hundred less than is paid for regular
receipts.
In addition to this auctions cannot
be held in the county, stock cannot
be driven over the highways, the gov
eminent orders requiring transporta-
ton IN wagons is a severe hardship in
the case of large numbers of sheep
and cattle, and stock for breeding pur-
poses cannot be shipped in or even
carried from one farm to another.
Mr.. Fisher explained to the gov
ernor teat as a result of the quaran-
tine it had been necessary to abandon
a mammoth sale which the Duroc Jer-
sey Breeders association had planned
at GAINESVILLE on February 2. This
would have been a sale of prize hogs
from all parts of the state which
would have attracted scores of breed
ers to the city. It's postponement works
a hardship on breeders all over Wis
consin.
Governor Philip gave the men a
most courteous hearing and said he
intended to take the matter up at once
with the United States department of
agriculture and that he would do all
possible to secure a release along the
lines suggested by the farmers.

normal school at Superior. It is evil
dent from this that if the courts order
the payment of this amount the insur-
ance fund will show a deficit, which
means that the premiums accredited
to the insurance account in the past
ten years have not accumulated fund
that protects the state against loss
either by fire or tornado; in fact the
state has lost a subs-antial sum of
money by not insuring its property.

ECONOMY KEYNOTE OF

sage delivered by Gov. Emanuel L.
Philip to the Wisconsin legislature
ts, in part, as follows:
The most Important problem that
confronts US at this time is TO intro
duce economies in the management of
our state affairs that will produce SUBJ
stantiaI reductions in state expendi-
lures and make a reduction in state
taxes possible. The people demand re-
tTenchment
In the year 1900 the cost of the state
government reached the sum Of 81
600 600 In the political campaign that
was carried on in that year this
amount was claimed to be excessive,
and much criticism was INDUCED in by
the press and from the stump Of what
was termed an extraYagant use of the
public funds. Economies that would
bring about a substantial reduction in
expenditures were promised How
ever, instead Of reduction there has
been a steady increase until at the
close of the fiscal year 1894 the
states expenditures had reached the
sum Of $15,138,05199.

himself candidate. 1t has been said
here that the present encumbent. j.
A. Morton, of Willinston will not offer
for reelection, but this report has not
been verified and it is given here only
as rumor. He is now serving under ap-
pointment of the chairman of the county
court to fill the unexpired term of
David Dobbins. If it should happen
that no one becomes a candidate for
this place il will, indeed, be something
rare under the sun. The office pays an
average of about 5000 per year for four
years, being more when the realty is
assessed and less when only personally
is assessed. There were four or five
candidates in the race when the last
primary was held, and aliho no one has
announced his candidacy up to date,
there may yet be as many in the race
as Lefore.

Every white citizen has an opportunity
to help in this campaign by encourage
ing the negro teachers to read these
outlines and do the study suggested by
them. There is certainly danger ahead
for the peace and well-being of the
