Porpoise Jaw Oil.

Practically all the porpoise oil used in
this country, even if not in the world,
for lubricating watches and other deli
cate instruments is made near New
Bedford, Mass, which many years ago
was important as whaling port. The
product is taken from the jaw and GER
tain other parts of the animal, which
is caught especially for this purpose.
When the industry was in it's infancy
whalers were depended upon to supply
the porpoise, but now the manufacture
ers maintain a fishing department,
which follows the schools Of porpoise
migrating along the coast and furnish
es a continual supply of them. The
history of the New Bedford industry
reaches back to the early part of the
nineteenth century to a watch tinker
who regulated and cleaned the time
pieces of the whalers.-POpular Me

How the Spenders' System Works.

In speaking of how the tax eaters
have fastened a system upon the state
of Wisconsin, Gov. Phillip says:
"Under the plan of continuing appro-
priations, Gov. Philip said, ''even if
| veto the bills, many of which | feel
are excessive in amounts, the people
have no relief. If new law is not put
into force the old law stands, and in
anticipation of just the condition we
are confronted with, it can be said that
the continuing appropriations carry
amounts largely in excess of some of
the present bills, which to my mind are
far too high in money authorizations.
''There is peculiar side to all this.
In the primary election every candidate
for governor except one, as | remem-
Der, specifically declared it as matter
of platform expression that Wisconsin's
business should be conducted upon the
basis of no state tax levy, except pos
sibly the common school tax. With one
exception, republican candidates and
democratic candidates for governor de-
clared for business appropriations and
expenditures which would relieve the
tax condition in Wisconsin.
''The one candidate who did not so
declare, and who favored a continual
ton, assume of the present system,
received at the election something in
excess of 25, 900 votes. All the votes
cast for the other candidates, in the
primary as we'll as at the election, were
I take it, an expression of the people
for change in the system of extrava-
giant expenditure, and in criticism of
the present methods of state business.
'Since election, and in every step |
have taken as governor, have kept in
mind, and will keep in mind as a pledge
to Wisconsin, the fact that there should
be and must be a change in this system
of waste and what amounts to extrava-
giant use of the states money. So far
as | am concerned, no dollar will be ap-
propriated with my sanction that can
be saved.
CHOSE who see fit to oppose this
policy, and who repudiate what | feel
is an express command of the people,
can make their settlement with the
voters afterwards, being judged upon
the record made. AS far as | am con-
cerned, l stand just where stood when
gave the people assurances that l
would do everything in my power and
in my authority as governor to bring
expenses down to where they should
be in the business necessities of the
states activities -

The attempt to charge the Philips
administration with raising the price of
prison binder Irvine a cent to the farm
ers of the state is another one of those
roorbacks easily exploded. Every man
ufacturer of binder Irvine who buys his
supplies in the open market has been
compelled to raise the price because OF
fine advance in raw materials and in
crease in freight rates. The trust even
raises before prison made goods are
put up. Supt Fitzgerald of the prison
plant says: eff the taxpayers OF the
state want the binder Irvine plant to be
self-suppOrting then the recent raise of
l cent a pound is justified; if, however,
they want to assume the burden Of the
entire support of the plant, then we
can give the Irvine away"

Closing Week of the Legislature.
MAnIcnNr WIS AuO Q 1919

While there may be departments in
the state government which are sup
ported by the taxpayers ready to join
in the economy plan of the present
state administration; this cannot be
said of the University or Normal
schools.
The University, in spite of demand
by the taxpayers of the state for reduc-
ton in taxes, asked for 81, 200, 900 more
for operation in the next two years
than was spent in the last two years.
The Normal schools asked for a half
million more than was spent in the last
two years for operation.
With these eXorbitant demands 1T
was easy for the finance committee to
believe it was making substantial re-
auctions in cutting the demands OF the
University $500, 900 and the demands OF
the Normal schools $500, 900. The fact
remains, however, that if the finance
committee bills were to go through the
legislature and be signed by the gov
ernor, the University will receive
nearly $500, 900 more for operation, ap-
paratus and maintenance in the next
two years than it expended in the last
two years. and the Normal schools will
have an increase in the same depart
ment of activity of nearly $500, 200.
While Governor Philip has not def
nitely stated his position it is said that
he will insist that the expenditures of
these institutions in the next two years
be kept down to the expenditures OF
the last two years and that the steady
increase which has characterized the
making of budgets for the last decade
must be stopped.
His proposition, as expressed to his
friends, is this that the University
and Normal schools be given an appro-
priation equal to their expenditures in
the last two years for operation in the
next two years, and IN order to take
care of increased population, and to be
fair with the institutions, he suggests
that an appropriation amounting to ten
per cent of the expenditures be made
as an emergency fund to be used in
case of emergency. This will demand
a cut of the finance committee Unlver-
sity appropriation of something like
$500. 900 and a corresponding cut for
the Normal schools of about 5000, 900.
The legislature will wind up it's work
this week it is believed and these i'm
portant appropriation bills must be
passed on. 1t is believed it is the SEN
timent of the people that the growth
in expenditures be checked at least.
Because of the continuing appropria-
tions passed by the 1913 legislature it
will be hard to reduce the expenditures
and Governor Philip has no desire to
injure the institutions. If he was met
half way by the University in the mat
ter of economy, this, no doubt, could
be done, but it has developed that DR..
Van Hise has no desire to economic.
The demands on the finance committee
have proved this conclusively.
The contest in the legislature this
week will be watched with great inter
est by the people all over the state,
and one thing is certain-Governor
Phillip is not forgetting his platform
pledges.

THE ending of full year of war has
brought out in the newspapers sum-
maries that stagger the human mind:
With the roll of the dead made up of
2,225,OOO names and 8,770,OOO men
wounded in the twelve months, and
with SIS, 500, 100000 spent to produce
such results, the cost of war in lives
and money is seen to be too great to
permit any one to think lightly of
America becoming involved. The pub
lished reviews coincide in admitting
that Germany has made such progress
that it should win, but they go on to
say that Germany can't win, because
England can't permit it, But more
will depend on England's power than
on her wishes, as is now realized, judg-
ing from dispatches from the British
capital The outcome will certainly
depend upon whether the Allies stick
together, and latest developments in
Poland have raised a large doubt as to
how long Russia will persist in losing
war
