PARAGRAPHS FROM THE MESSAGE
OF Gov PHILIPPs

Under the system of commissions
and bureaus as established under our
present law, the governor is without
power to influence the expenditures to
such bureaus except SO far as he may
exercise his veto power over appropria-
tions made for their use.
1t is the business of this administra-
tion TO abolish all commissions that
are useless and to greatly reduce the
number of those institutions, and as
far as it is practical to bring the gov
eminent back to the constitutional
officers of the state.
Everywhere in the country the
forest tree has been obliged to yield
before advancing civilization, and the
northern part of our state, which is
rich in soil, will not be the exception.
When that time comes your legisla-
ture will yield to the demands of the
willing settler, and your forest re-
serves will be converted into farms,
regardless of what it cost the state
to plant the trees.
1t is no unfair criticism TO say that
legislatures in the past have been
lavish in their expenditures for the
university and most liberal in their
appropriations for the normal schools,
while the rural school, which is the
school of the masses, has been neg
lected. The first step necessary to
improve our country schools is to
provide better equipped teacher In
order to do this we. must provide
preparatory institutions within easy
reach of the young men and women
in the country who are willing to
make rural school teaching a profess
sion.
We are building our educational
system from the top down instead of
from the bottom up. This system is
wrong, and needs to be corrected in
the interest of the people.
There should be frequent recon-
sideration of all state appropriations,
and they should be governed by the
necessities of the case and the ability
of the people to pay.
Water power is best conserved by
making use of it. 1t can not be
stored and held for future use like
coal. The power that is not used is
forever lost.

Neal Brown 5 Revolt.

Neal Brown of Wausau, who is
political philosopher of an indepen-
dent turn, is not enthusiastic over
the acclaim that Wisconsin has been
made a laboratory for experimental
legislation. This is because he is
philosopher of an independent turn.
He refuses to accept the appraisal of
tax-eating sinecure holders regarding
the matter. He insists on judging
the system by its results.
Looking over the situation he finds
flaws, and as he is independent he
calls attention to them. In his adj
dress at the Hoard dinner at Madison
he reviewed the history of the past
fourteen years of progressiyeism in
Wisconsin and remarked:
AS long as the victims of the labo-
ratOry were the insurance corpora
ton /. the railroads and other public
utilities and corporations, the expert
ments were conducted with great en-
thusiasm. The outcries of the sub
iects only stimulated the SavantS to
greater industry. But after these
had been squeezed to the suttermost,
prodigality sought new sources OF
gain. So the burdens Of extravaganza
in state government swept over all
boundaries and commenced to pile
directly upon tens of thousands OF
citizens who had been calmly looking
on while the OK gored the other fellow:
Then they woke up and commenced
to rub their eyes and to look about.
They discovered that boards and COM
missions and bureaus and an army of
officials were stalking like the pesti-
lence at MONDAY. They found that
state expenses had increased to an
appalling extent. Then came the
deluge. Now, l will not analyLe the
deluge, because l have no right to
discourse of politics. It's evident,
however, that the laboratory will soon
be closed and that "wise legislative
experiments will be discontinued.
The bill factory, the source of many
experiments, may even be boarded up.
The cabal of lobbying experimental
lists from the University may be COM
PEELED to confine its energies TO the
education of youth-a duty that has
been somewhat neglected at times.
Neal Brown is not foe of education
on the contrary, quite the reverse
He does not desire to cripple the
University of Wisconsin in any
activity within its proper province.
What arouses his indignation as a
friend of popular rights and free
government is the undertaking CT the
University management to bestride
the state like colossus and relieve
the people of the power of conducting
their own affairs. He believes in edu-
cation, but not in political hierarchy
which in the name of education sad
dies tax burdens on the people for its
own enrichment.
There is bond of union between I'll e
common folk who earn their living by
daily toll and Neal Brown, the
philosopher of Wausau. His inter
eSts are identical in the matter to
which he calls attention. The labora-
tory is an incubus upon all the peo-
pie of the state. The incubus should
be removed. The University should
be made to get out of politics and
keep out. The government of the state
should be taken in hand again by
the voters of WiscoDsin.-Evening
Wisconsin.

Cotton Market Improves.

Last week the cotton market adj
vanced to practically nine cents a
pound for late deliveries. This is the
best news that has been sent over the
country since the war began. How
ever, it is advisable for the cotton
planters to continue getting loans on
their cotton If the money is needed
instead of selling it, so as to take it
of the market for several months,
and if this plan is followed, the price
of cotton will soon be ten cents per
pound, and will undoubtedly remain
at that figure or higher, provided the
cotton planters only plant one-half
their usual acreage, because in the
future, whether there is war or peace,
Europe will not buy much more than
half its former annual purchase for
several years to come.

FALLING HAIR OR
ITCHING SCALP

Now that Partisan Sage-an mex
pensive preparation that supplies
every hair and scalp need--csn be had
from w. w. Albers, it is certainly
needless to have thin, brittle, matted,
stringy or faded hair. No matter how
unsightly your hair, how badly it is
falling, or how much dandruff, Par
isian Sage is all that is needed. Every
trace of dandruff is removed with one
application, the hair roots are nour-
ished and stimulated to grow new
hair, itching scalp and falling hair
cease.
Partisan Sage is certainly one of the
most invigorating tonics. and will
surely make your hair soft, abundant
and radiant with life and beauty.

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
substantial reductions in state ex-
penditures and make a reduction in
state taxes possible. The people de-
mand retrenchment.
The results of the recent election
justify the statement that there is a
general demand among the people for
substantial reduction in taxes, and
1 regard it as my plain duty to re-
commend to you policy of strict
economy.
1 regard my election as governor as
contract with the people to reduce
the expenditures of the state govern
ment TO reasonable basis, and pro-
pose to fulfill that promise as far as it
is within the power of the executive
to do so.
The people of Wisconsin want a
government that is humane il it's
tendencies, truly progressive and re-
sponsive to the demands of more
complex civilization. In meeting
these demands, however, we should
not allow our zeal to lead us into
costly fads, nor should we forget that
waste of the peoples substance is
not helpful to the cause of human
progress.
1t should be our purpose to retain
every service rendered by the state at
this time that is useful to the people
and is worth what it costs.
1t is an unfortunate situation in
our government, municipal, state and
national, that in the expenditures of
public money the financial situation
of the taxpayer receives no considera-
ton.
Permit me to suggest to you that
there is no demand in this state at
this time for much new legislation.
The legislatures that have assembled
here il recent years were evidently
possessed with the idea that every
human i'll can be corrected by statute.
We can not proceed by mere policy
of abolishing commissions; we must
retain certain ones in view of the
| fact that there are now certain lines
of service which this form of admin
istration is best suited to perform.

 Few of these immigrants become citizens or those cho declare their intention only onebird take out tler final papers because that involves moderate ed rcatona test which they are not prepared to meet.

COTTON "coMEs BACK"

The cotton situation isn't bad after all With the staple selling well over eight cents and dealers pre- cting that will go over the apparent disaster q war brought on the South is vanishing
 The foreign market has strengthened greatly during tie last few weeks New Orleans exporters expect 10 our shipments aggregate 5O00O0O bales by the first March although it was thought earlier that the total
 ports for the whole season would exceed 6oooOO bales If the expected 5oOOOO0 mark is reached soon e exports win be within 2OOOoOO bales ot the usual ure
 With its chief product flowing out in such volume and cash flowing in correspondingly the south is fast getting on its feet again The s1S5OOOOOo pool intended fer cotton loans is going begging for brrowers,
 The fact that you cant eat cotton" is now as for ,nate for the cotton-arowers as formerly un- fortunate: for cotton will continue enter Germany and Austria freely while all oodstuffs barred as con traband Europe win presumably take its usual Quan uty of raw cotton even though takes it more slowly and pays less for it.
