Fight to be Started Early
For Repeal of State Aid
For Highways Law.
BENNETT TO FATHER MEASURE

The repeal of the state road law, un-
der which upwards of three thousand
miles Of roads and nearly seven humid
red bridges have been built in the last
three years, will be asked of the legis-
lature by Senator j. Henry Bennett Of
Viroqua, Vernon county. He says that
it is the most unpopular law in the
state of Wisconsin today and adds that
the people of Minnesota are equally
dissatisfied with the operation of a
similar law in that state.
Supervisors Ask Repeal.
County board after county board
has petitioned for the repeal of the
state highway law" said Senator Ben
nett today, "and | intend to ask for
it's repeal. Tt is extravagant, waste
full and results in lack of system in
highway building. I shall also ask for
the repeal of the law which leaves it
to the county board to determine
whether the local road taxes in a
county shall be paid in money or labor.
This latter is matter that should be
left to the people of town. If they
want to pay their taxes in money let
them vote to do so, but don It let the
county board tell the towns which
method they may pursue. Vernon
county today has the worst roads that
it has ever had in the last ten years
and all through these two laws which
| have specified"
While Senator Bennett would repeal
the present system he will offer sub
stitute, which has become known in
Wisconsin as the John R. Jones plan.
This provides that there shall be a
county highway system. Under the
bill which Senator Bennett will pres
ent as substitute for the present plan
the state will give no aid to road build
ing. Every county will be required to
raise certain amount Of money on
the basis of the assessed valuation of
the county. This money will be ex-
pended for road building within the
county under county highway COM
missioner elected by the county board.
The towns can improve and build their
local roads as at present and farmers
should be permitted to work their
taxes out by labor, if the people of the
town so desire.

Richmond's Centennial

It is very interesting to contemplate the at
tractive features which could be incorporated
into program for the proposed centennial cele-
bration of the founding of the city of Richmond,
next year.
BY all means such celebration should be
countrywide, so intimately related is the history
of the city with that of the county.
Particularly appealing is the suggestion of
Supt Giles Of the Richmond public schools that
movement be launched for an historical page
ant. Nothing could be more instructive or en-
PERTAINING, and as municipal attraction would
pale to insignificance any of the city's success
full fall festivals and similar events There are
plenty of public spirited citizens who would
willingly give their services for such an under
taking, and with an appropriation by the city
government as nucleus for centennial fund, to
be further increased by popular subscriptions,
the success of the event is foregone conclusion.
There are few Richmond people acquainted
with the early history of their city and the pro-
posed pageant would unfold an enthralling story
to them.

wrote in 1854, this letter fortunately being pre-
served.
On the site of the North A Street Friends
Meeting house was erected the first church in
the city, made of logs. model of this long for
gotten edifice has been suggested. In the old
log school, now at Glen park, typical pioneer
school session, which Andrew Young in his his
tory graphically describes, could be held. The
contrast in modern and backwoods educational
methods could not fail to interest.

All Want to Wear Gowns.

The craze for legal gowns, says a Calcutta newspaper, has now spread to the mukhtears of Bengal. A few years ago vakils obtained permission to wear gowns. Black gowns were suggested by vakils but as these would have led to their being mistaken for members of the bar, blue gowns were given them. Recently the pleaders asked that the privilege of wearing gowns should be extended to them and the necessary sanction was granted, green being the color selected. Not to be outdone the mukhtears are now moving in the matter and the initia- tive has been taken by those practic- ing in the Jalpaiguri courts who have petitioned the registrar on the appel late side of the Calcutta high court to be allowed to wear gowns. The color suggested is chocolate. The matter is under consideration by the chief justice.
