A QUESTION IN POLITICAL.
ECONOMY.

The Democrat has question to pro-
pound. Perhaps our good friend and
sound economist Usher can answer it.
Here it is: Does reaction spell economy
and sound finance? Madison is long
and strong on reactionaries; and they
are generally men who are potential in
local politics and municipal affairs; and
yet the capital city has larger per
capita bonded Indebtedness than any
other city in the state. Does reaction
spell economy?

Town and Country People
FraternIze.

No one thing in all the changes that
have taken place in recent years is any
any more striking than the fraternal
mixing of the town and country people
of Wisconsin. Not long ago the farmer
looked askance at banks, thinking them
institutions for other peoples use today
much of the stock in the banks of the
state is owned by farmers and many
farmers are directors in banks.
We find that in the progressive move
ments looking to better farming the
bankers and other townspeople are
active and influential, and it is probable
true that farmers becoming directors in
banks has been an improvement in that
their natural conservatism holds in
check the optimism of their associates
Thus the population of the state be-
comes more homogeneous to the benefit
Of all. Nothing could be more FORUM
ate.

increase the net income of the farm
and thus make possible the introduc-
ton of labor saving conveniences and
other improvements $1,O27, 312.
Extension work designed to be fun
damentally helpful to farm women
seems to include within it's scope GER
tain matters, as follows:
"First.-Plans to increase the net in
come Of the farm. Farm women need
more money for home purposes. The
purchase of home conveniences, the in
stallation of water, sewerage, lighting
and heating systems, kitchen and 9th
err cOnveniences and the bringing of
literature and music into the home are,
in the majority of country homes, de-
pendent upon greater net profits in
farming. knowledge of these con-
veniences and other desirable things is
good but money to buy these desirable
things is vital necessity if country
life is to be made as acceptable to
women as town life.
"Second.-Plans to teach and dem
onstrate efficiency in farm home man
agement. These include such matters
as wholesome food properly prepared
and served in adequate supply and va
riety throughout the year, the care Of
the home and the family linen and
wardrobe, the care and management of
children and sometimes the handling
of certain farm enterprises like poul-
try and eggs, milk and butter, the gar
den, small fruits, etc. Efficiency in
farm home management contemplates
the maximum of accomplishment with
the minimum Of effort to the end that
the farm family may find satisfaction
and cOntentment in the home and that
the time of the farm woman may be
conserved.
'Third. PLANT for leisure and devel-
Opment. The farm woman needs time
for reading, self development, child
teaching, social life and recreation.
'In the development of home eco
nomics demonstration work there
needs to be kept in mind the point OF
view that the problems Of country
women must chiefly be solved by coun-
try women The county agent move
ment i'm some sections of the north and
west started out primarily as a city
mans movement, but it has succeeded
in exact proportion as the farmers of
the county have taken hold of the work
and made 1t their own

Under the reactionary administration
OF Governor Upham the legislature
compromised on the judgments against
the state treasurers for interest earned
on public funds, and thus gave away
vast sums of the peoples money. Now
the water powers, the peoples last great
heritage of public resources, are to be
given away without money and with
out price. No, reaction does not spell
economy.

PRESS POINTS

Delavan Republican: There is now a BILL No
672A, to repeal the state fire insurance fund
law. The only reason back of the repeal of this
law is private greed Since the law has been in
operation, the states Michigan and Minnesota
have copied after the Wisconsin plan
Black River Falls Journal: If the bill to
change the civil service law passes, political
pull will be at premium, and the Civil Service
Commission could be amalgamated with the
Saturday Lunch Club without interfering with
its future usefulness to the state.
Editor Merlin Hull referring to the Grell bill:
Talk about freak legislation by former legis-
latures. If ever there was another measure
which so combined the freak with crazy pur-
pose it is buried so deep in the legislative
records that the oldest resident has forgotten
it. The effect of this bill, if it finally becomes
law, will be to make election day a time of riot
and corruption of the sort which made famous
the good cid days" when vice was virtue and
corruption basic principle of politics. To per-
NIT councils and town boards to have the au-
thority this bill grants would bring the saloon
more actively to the fore as political factor in
every community.

It is not one class lifting another, it is not
class division to give one class an opportunity
