Speaks on High Cost of Living.
He touched at length upon the high
cost of living. In recent years, he said,
the cost of production has grown less
and less. while the cost of living has
steadily increased. The cost of living
ought to have gone down just as the
cost of production decreased, he said.
Senator La Toilette declared that the
immense amount of money paid over

people contributes, more than any
thing else. to the cost of living.

Madison, Wis, (SpeciaD The return
TO Wisconsin last week of United

was an event of large interest. Wis

TO deliver a chautaugua address on

The senator appears to be in ex-

said. His color is good, he seems to

Our Correspondent in the Madison

Our correspondent in the Madison
letter to the CENSOR published today
says: Senator LaFollette will return
to Wisconsin in September to open bis
fight on Governor Philipp." What is
he to fight him for? Because Philip
has tried to keep faith with the people?
To keep down big appropriations in the
legislature and spare the Taxpayers
from the burden they are carrying?
Does anybody believe Senator LaFol-
lette is tLst big chump to undertake a
job OF that kind, of placing himself in
that attitude? We rather guess be will
carefully consider the matter seriously
before be makes the leap. LaFollette's
former effective campaigning was in
reading the roll call on direlect mem
beTs of the legislature. Does anybody
believe that Governor Philip will ne
itate to call the roll in the months to
come?
