ulate the expenditure of money in cleo
tons may seem to be less necessary
than the immediate enactment of the
other measures to which l refer; be
cause at least two years will elapse
before another election in which fed
eral offices are to be filled but it would
greatly relieve the public mind if this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the dam
gers to the public morals Of the pres
ent method of obtaining and spending
campaign funds stand clear under re-
cent observation and the methods of
expenditure can be frankly studied In
the light Of present experience; and a
delay would have the further very Sc
riouS disadvantage of poStpOning &C
tiOn until another election was at hand
and some special object connected with
it might be thought to be in the mind
Of those who urged it. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion of partisan purpose.
| shall not argue at length the desir-
ability of giving a freer hand in the
matter of combined and concerted eff
fort to those who shall undertake the
essential enterprise of building up our
export trade. That enterprise will
presently, viii Immediately assume,
has indeed already assumed, a magni-
tude unprecedented in our experience.
We have not the necessary instrument
talities for it's prosecution; it is
deemed to be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present. laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles
and create q basis of undOubted law
for it which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity is here and may escape us
if we hesitate or delay.
Porto Rico's Needs.
The argument for the proposed
amendments Of the organic law of POr-
to Rico is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges of
its people are not just. We have Gre
ated expectations of extended priv
Iege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption OF
the pending measure would happily re-
move. We do not doubt what we wish
to do in any essential particular. We
ought to do it at once.
There are other matters already adj
vanced to the stage Of conference be-
tween the two houses of which it IS
not necessary that I should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be found
and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, prob
ably the last occasion l shall have to
| address the Sixty-fOurth congress, ]
| hope that you will permit me to say
| with what genuine pleasure and salts
| faction I have co-operated with you in
| the many measures of constructive pol
icy with which you have enriched the
| legislative annals of the country. Ii
| has been a privilege to labor in such
| company. I take the liberty of con-
| graduating you upon the completion Of
| a record of rare serviceableneSs and
distinction.

Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite.

Instead of an ak and saw to remove
the tops of trees that are to be used
as masts in logging operations, dyna-
mite is used to shoot off the tops.
After the branches have been removed,
u rigger climbs the tree, with set OF
irons, to the point where it is neces-
sary to cut off the top. Here the trunk
is usually about II inches in diane
ter. The rigger ties a string of dyna-
mite cartridges, fastened end to end
like sausages, around the trunk at this
point, inserts blasting cap with about
20 feet of fuse in one of these sticks,
lights the end of the fuse, and de-
sends before the explosion takes
place. The tree top pumps into the
air with the explosion and the trunk
is left ready for attaching the rigging
for dragging in and loading the logs.

The above makes no consideration
of the revolving funds, such as the
dormitories at Oshkosh. Stevens Point
and Superior and the cafeteria. station
cry stand and special music courses.
Neither has any recommendation been
made for provision for extension work
by the normal schools. For this pur-
pose $4,000 a year is asked by each of
the nine schools, but the matter has
been referred to b. B. Buckingham.
StatiStician of the board, for further
consideration. The extension work
proposed is not academic, but relates
to the promotion of professional work
among the teachers.
Included in the capital items above
are provisions to meet requests for the
purchase of lands. S131, $50 for 1917
and $75,S50 for 1918. These items,
however, have been referred to the
state engineer, who will make sur
vey of the needs of both the normal
schools and the university with Il
view to determining the ultimate needs
of the institutions in the way of added
areas.
The university also will ask for
funds to purchase lands, 100000 for
1917 and $4,000 for 1918, principally
to secure purchases of tracts upon
which options now are held.
All these land purchase proposals
will be made the subject of a supple
