RATES ON FREIGHT
CLAIMED TOO HIGH
COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED WITH
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.
DOCUMENT BEING PREPARED
j.. N. Tittemore of Oshkosh Asserts
Tariffs for the Whole State
Should Be Cut About
100000.

Madison. to ]. n. Title
more of Oshkosh, who consulted with
Halford Erickson of the state railroad
commission, the freight rates in Wis
consin are far too high and for the
whole state should be cut 100000
annually.
Chairman Erickson is preparing to
file complaint, involving all freight
rates in Wisconsin, with the interstate
commerce commission.
Mr.. Tittemore said the freight rate
condition in Wisconsin had been ag-
gravated by the decision in the Mime
sofa rate case. Owls cousin freight
rates are about So per cent too high
on most things" he said.
Mr. Tittemore, while claiming the
freight rates are too high, says his
chief complaint is of interstate rates
and he may ask the Wisconsin commits
sion to ask for a review of these by
the federal commission.
The Wisconsin commission, both as
at present constituted and as it was
prior to last January, has held that
freight rates in Wisconsin are not eX-
cessive, inasmuch as they enable no
railroad in the state to pay more than
6 per cent upon the valuation of its
investment.

Nas $1,000, 434-Amount Available
For Purpose Is $s85,oo

Madison.-The state highway COM

kee, Outagamie, Racine, Walworth,

and the amount available for such pur-
pose is $885,OOO.

ORDERS GAMBLING STOPPED
Chief to Suppress All Machines
of Chance in the City.

Waukesha.-Mayor E. R. Estberg in
structed Chief of Police Don Mckay to
have removed from every business
place in the city all devices of a gamb-
ling character. Cigar wheels, chance
gum machines, dice games-whether
for candy, money or cigars-all come
within the scope of the order, which
went into effect on Wednesday. Mayor
Estberg said that he had no animosity
toward a seemingly harmless cigar
Wheel or a chance game for box OF
candy or a package of gum, but when
they become so numerous that they
were obnoxious and serve as an intro
duction into the gambling world for
young men ranging from Is to 20
years old, he believed it advisable for
them to be removed.

PERMIT TROUGH" FISHING
State to Receive One Cent Per Pound
Last Years Revenue Amount
ed to $1,000.

Observation-Disclosures for taking rough
fish from the inland waters of the state
are now being made by the conserva-
ton commission. These activities are
chiefly confined to the Rock and Craw-
fish rivers, the four-lake region above
Madison, Puckaway lake in Green
Lake county and Beaver Dam lake in
Dodge county.
The contracts give to the CONNER
cial fishermen the right to take rough
fish from designated waters under SUI
pervision of deputy conservation war
dens and the fishermen pay to the
state 1 cent per pound for all the fish
taken, principally carp and buffalo.
Last year the fishermen paid to the
state 80 per cent of the gross sale
price of the fish. Under the present
law 1 cent per pound is a little less
than 80 per cent but it makes more
certain just what the state is to get
and requires less supervision.
Last year the states share of the
revenue from the work was $18,694.54,
the gross sales being $64,157.60-

motor going for more than an hour.
They were finally rewarded by the Wo-
