plain and easily followed Where a
city is also the school district mem
bers of the board must be chosen
from wards. Where the city is only
part of the district members of the
school board are to be elected without
restriction as to residence as before
the board was increased to seven
members. If this be not the proper
reading of the law, then it must be
held that the legislature intended to
curtail the rights of the electors Of
the school district residing outside
the city by preventing them from be-
ing represented upon the school
board; for the law, if my construc-
ton of it be not correct, gives the
right to sit upon the school board of
this school district to those only who
are residents of wards in the city of
Lancaster. To hold that the IegisIa-
ture intended by the law of 1905 to
work such injustice would be to place
an ABSURD construction upon the law
when a reasonable meaning can be
given it without violence to its Ian
guage.
1t must be plain to anyone that the
amendment of 1905, requiring the
election of the members of the school
board of seven from wards-one from
each ward-could not be intended to
apply to a city like this that is within
the school district, when it is consid-
cred that under such a construction
of the law if the city of Lancaster
had seven wards the territory of the
district outside the city COULD NOT
BE REPRESENTED on the board.
Such a construction would make the
law both unreasonable and unconsti-
tutiOnal. G.. G.

WHO is RADICAL7

We radical Americans would grow
into some strange misconceptions if
it were not for an occasional glance
at the embattled conservatism of old
Europe. While we sit on the side
lines, pluming and congratulating
ourselves upon the daredevil way
way we have of receiving such startl-
ing news as that the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage association has
voted to carry on a state rather than
national campaign for equal suffrage,
a report comes from a corner of the
caste-ridden continent, of revised
election laws giving the women of
Denmark not only the right to vote
but also to hold office upon the same
terms with men.
Danish women have had municipal
electoral rights and municipal eligi-
bility since 1906; now they will have
full electoral rights and full elIgi-
bility. The proposed bill has passed
both houses, and upon a referendum
to the country" it was so popular
with all classes-even unto the
Conservatives the entire lower
house was reelected unanimously with
out single opposition candidate be-
ing put up, and the upper house was
also reelected. The new diet then
passed the measure. which, by
special arrangement, was brought up
for consideration despite the general
closing down on constitutional
changes following the outbreak OF
the war.
The equal suffrage bill has probab-
ly already been signed by a king.
Are We so very, very redical, after
all?-Exchange.

Ed Howe says: At the barber
shop where / go to be shaved l
frequently have my shoes shined.
Recently the black porter asked if
I wished my shoes cleaned, and l
replied did not. Whereupon the
porter brushed them neatly and
quickly as compliment to a
customer. Here is an idea that
some of the efficiency engineers
might teach. The action of the
negro porter pleased me and he gained
my trade by a little attention which
cost him almost no effort. Every
man in business should occasionally
DO something for nothing for good
customers; occasionally remember
zhe customers heart and not be
always greedily thinking of his
pocketbook.

Interpretation that leads to an alb
surdity ought to be rejected" 27
Wis, 400.
Notwithstanding the puzzle as to
the legislative intent that arises upon
a casual reading of this law, very
simple application of judicial con-
struction gives a clear solution to the
question of whether or not, in this
school district which contains the
city of Lancaster, but which is of
considerably wider boundaries than
the city, the law as it is requires that
members of the school board should
be elected from wards. We have seen
that before the law of 1905 the mem
bers of the board might be elected
without restriction from any part of
the school district. Only school dis
trict containing within its boundar-
les a city in which a high school is
maintained" could, or now can, at its
annual meeting decide to have a
board of seven members (which shall
be known as the school board of the
city comprising IN WHOLE or in
part such district This law as it
now reads provides for two kinds of
school districts which may have
board of seven members, one kind
being, as ours is, district larger
than the city, the other being a dis
trict the boundaries of which are
identical with the boundaries of the
city.
Before the enactment of Chapter
421, Laws of 1905, the law speaking
of the election of the seven members
said, as it does now, "three of whom
shall be the director, treasurer and
clerk as now provided by law who
shall each discharge the separate du-
ties now imposed by law, and shall
be elected and hold Office for the term
now provided by law" Later on the
law provided, as it does now, that
1.-THE remaining four members of such
district board shall be elected as
school district officers are now re-
quired to be elected, at the annual
school meeting, which may adopt this
act," etc. Nothing whatever is said
in the law Of 1905 which can be con-
strued to require that these four
members shall be elected from wards.
After the words above quoted 'for
the term now provided by law" the
amendment of 1905 is interpcIated,
which amendment begins ''and no
two of whom shall be residents of the
same ward in such city until each
ward therein shall have at least one
member on such board" Through
out this amendment nothing is said
of the school district. 1t deals wholly
with "SUCH CITY" What city?
TWO cities are mentioned in the law,
one whose territory is of less extent
than the territory of the school dis
trict, the other city whose limits
are identical with the limits of the
school district-THE CITY BEING
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. Manifest
ly the city meant by the term 'such
city, is the city whose boundaries
are identical with the school district
not city, as ours is, that forms
only a part of the school district. So
construed the statute throughout is

The School Board of Seven.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
If you will afford me space 1 would
like to give my views upon the law,
under which, at the school meeting
held on the evening of July 9Th, this
school district voted to increase the
school board to seven-so far as this
law relates to the election of the
members of the board from the diff
ferent wards.
The law in question was first en-
acted by Chapter BIT, Laws of 1899,
which provided for increasing by the
vote of the electors at an annual
school meeting the school board of
school district containing within it's
boundaries a city" of not less than
1,500 inhabitants, from three to sew
en- members; (which shall be known
as the school board of the city COM
prising in whole or in part such dis
trict." Three of the seven members
to be ''the director, treasurer and
clerk as now provided by law" and
"the remaining four members of such
district board shall be elected as
school district officers are now re-
quired to be elected at the annual
meeting" This law was amended by
Chapter 205, Laws of 1901, by strik-
ing out the requirement as to the
population of the city and as so
amended was re-enacted. Under the
law as it then stood there can be no
question that each member of the
seven members of the board was to
be elected by the electors of the dis
trict present at the annual school
meeting without any restriction as to
trict of the one voted for to fill
place upon the board. So, if all of
the members of the board elected
were residents of the city that was
within the district, or if all of them
were residents of the territory of the
district that was outside the limits
VI IlAO City InoI was WACA1h CIAO OAo-
trict, in either case the election
would be legal.
Uncertainty and ambiguity was Gre
ated by the injection of new matter
into the law by the enactment of
Chapter 421 of the Laws of 1905.
The law as thus amended is ambig-
uous. All will agree that it is a poor
piece of legislative workmanship. 1t
appears in full as Section 493-a of
wisconsin Statutes 1913" That this
section is not easily to be understood
was evidenced by the different views
as to it's meaning expressed at the
school meeting. Taken literally one
part of the law is inconsistent with
another part. But this fact does not
make the law nugatory if study of
it's provisions discloses the legislative
intent. ga statute is to be interpret
ed not only by it's exact words, but
also by it's apparent general pur-
pose" "Where the main object and
intention of a statute are clear it
must not be reduced to a nullity by
the draftsman's unskillfulness or ig-
norance of law, except in the case of
necessity or the absolute intractabil-
ity of the language used" School Di-
rectors of Pelican V. School Directors
