600, 900 Worth OF Cars and De-
mand Continues to Increase
Dodge Brothers, Detroit, have just
completed their first year as manu-
facturers Of motor cars and the record
established is unique even in this n
maizing industry.
The first completed car rolled out
of the plant in December, 1914, and
actual shipments started in January,
1915. With the close of the first year,
Dodge Brothers merely state that the
public has "bought more than $s5, :
600, 600 worth" of their cars. Nothing
is said Of production plans for next
year, but the announcement is made
that the demand, which has always
been ahead of production, remains
unsatisfled.
The record made In the first year
is the talk Of motor car circles. Be-
fore beginning the manufacture of
car bearing their own name, Dodge
Brothers were we'll known in the
trade as large makers of automobile
parts. But no one anticipated when
it was announced that they would
bring out . car that within q year
they would jump among the first six
companies In the country in the pro-
duction Of cars. But such is the fact
and the career Of Dodge Brothers is
sure to be carefully watched by both
the trade and public during 1915

NEW LAW A BENEFIT
EMPLOYMENT OF SUPERVISING
TEACHERS PROVES VALUABLE.
Eishty-one Workers Already Are In
the Field investigating
Rural Schools.

Madison.-That the law passed by
the 1915 legislature providing for the
employment of supervising teachers
for rural schools is of real benefit is
indicated by experiences of workers
already in the field.
Aside from the immediate improve
ment of the schools, the new law opens
up a field of investigation and report
that must in the end be of lasting
benefit.
Interesting information in regard to
the working of the law is found in the
special supervising teachers NUMBER
of the Educational News Bulletin, a
publication issued by the office of the
state superintendent of schools.
The law went into effect late in the
summer of 1915, and because of the
necessity Of organization not much in
the way Of results was expected for
that year Before the arrival of the
Christmas holidays, however, eighty
one supervising teachers had begun
their work in different sections Of the
state. Question blanks were sent by
Supt. Cary to these teachers to find
out what work had been accomplished.
MANY counties reported interesting
methods and results which could not
be reduced to figures" the News Bull
letin says. "All replies, however, gave
statistical information as to the
schools visited Some of the results
showed excellent work on the part Of
supervising teachers, while others
showed opportunity for further i'm
provement.
Seven of the teachers had visited
100 per cent of the schools in their
districts. A total of 1884 schools had
been visited

Ask Loans to Build Schools.

That the smaller cities of Wisconsin
are building new schools with a rapid
ity and breadth of scope never before
approached is evidenced by the fact
that applications for building loans
have recently been received by the
state department of public instruc-
ton in the amount of $750,000. These
applications come under the state law
providing for the loaning, of state
money to the extent of five per cent
of the total assessed valuation for
school building purposes.
Shawano recently voted to erect a
100000 high school building which,
when finished, will be one of the finest
in the state. Amigo has also voted
to replace the building recently burned
by $4,000 high school. Both of these
buildings will be one story buildings,
according to the latest methods of
erecting schools and will include large
gymnasiums, auditOriums, manual
training and domestic art departments,
as well as academic facilities.
Osseo is planning the erection of a
$65,000 building; Fall River one that
will eventually cost $4,000; Bangor a
$4,000 school, and the $4,000 high
school at Lodi has just been COM
pleted

Permit Cost is Big.


Payment herewith made this
29th day of February, 1916, of the
sum of s484,055.35 claimed by you to
be from the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance company to the state of Wis
consin as an annual license fee or tax
for the year 1916, under the pursuant
to section 51.32, Wisconsin statutes,
1915, is made under protest against the
validity of such license fee or tax and
each and every part Of the, same and
against your right to collect or receive
the amount so paid or any part thereof
or to refuse to said company license
to transact business in Wisconsin until
it shall first have paid the license fee
or tax required by said section 51.32,
Wisconsin statutes 1915, and such pay
ment is made with reservation Of the
right to bring suit against you or Ell
Their of you or against the state of Wis
consin, to test the validity of said
claims for license fee or tax, and to
recover back the amount so paid or
such part thereof as the court may
determine it is entitled to demand and
receive"
Such is the preamble to a statement
made to Treasurer Henry Johnson, in
surance commissioner, M. J. Cleary
and the state of Wisconsin by the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company, when it paid it's tax for 1916
amounting to $484 ,055.30. The state
mont further dacIaraG that the nav
ment is made involuntarily and under
duress and only because of threatened
proceedings to enforce collection.
The ground for protest by the COM
pany is based on it's claim that the law
of 1915 is unconstitutional in that it
violates those provisions of the funda-
mental law by denying equal protec-
ton to the company and all others
similarity situated, that it's violates the
rule that congress shall have power to
regulate commerce among the several
states in that it imposes a burden up
on interstate commerce and, further,
that the tax is based upon an arbitrary
and excessive rule which is void for
discrimination
1t is claimed by the company that
no greater sum should be eXacted of
the company under such law than 8
per cent Of the amount of its taxable
domestic income.

figures in the expense Of the care OF
these social debtors can be obtained
under the present methods Of report.

Mr.. Gillin.
1.-THE business men of the state
DDS by which this enormous loss can
be lessened. This cannot be done by
cutting down the allowance to each
person in these classes, because hu-
manitarian motives demand that we
take care of the unfortunate. We
should, however, take measures by
which the number in such classes
should be very greatly decreased. Such
decrease is possible IL business men
who are giving their attention to the
consideration of efficiency in business
affairs devote their attention to the
question as to how this social waste
may be decreased. The business men
of every community should interest
themselves in the conduct of the poor
relief department Of the city; they
should in their commercial organiza-
tons and other welfare associations,
take measures to prevent the making
of paupers, detectives and criminals
Earnest and serious attention to meth
DDS of prevention for one generation
would decrease this enormous sl1tn
very appreciably. II business men
desire to have this great loss lessened,
they must give themselves to the con
sideration of such social measures as
probation officials for juvenile delin.
quents, rational methods Of play and
recreation for the children and youth
of each community, and the organiza'
ton of clubs and like organizations
for the proper guidance Of boys and
girls into the paths of usefulness and
right conduct"
Professor Gillin declared that indus
trial education, properly combined
with individual and organized atten-
ton to the needs Of boys and girls,
| would do much to prevent the increas-
ing burden of pauperism, effectiveness
| and crime. he said that the time is
| coming when business men will see
| the importance of organizing means In
every community whereby the unem-
ployed will be secured employment
| and those who, because of their inef
| ficiency are unemployable, may be sent
