FINALLY AT ESD

The state legislature al .nrned
about a week since. after a session Of
six months. 1t was six weeks shorter
than two years ago. when adjourn
ment day was August a. So much
OF war concern was apparent during
the time that the session was doubt
less a month longer than it would have
been naturally. AS a whole, the peo-
pie have little reason to complain OF
the work accomplished. About 1400
bills were introduced, half the num-
Der becoming laws-very many more
than are necessary. The members
had in view the best interests of the
people, keeping appropriations below
the limit of two years ago. so that no
state tax is necessary except for edu-
cational purposes. and they are with
10 the resources and natural receipts
of the state.
Vernon county taxpayers and peo-
pie have reason to congratulate them
selves on the record of their repre-
sentatives, Senator Bennett and AS
semblyman Carter. They had in mind
all the time the tax burden and voted
on all matters to keep it to the low
est limit consistent. They aimed to
personally redeem every promise they
made in their campaigns.
Governor Phillip, too, was persis-
tent in mis- endeavors to keep down
appropriations, imbued, too, for the
welfare of the state in all things. In
our judgment his attitude in all re-
speets was what he believed equitable
We cannot agree with him. however,
on the matter of his veto of the pro-
hibition referendum But for his in
terposed veto the people would have
opportunity to decide for themselves.
at next springs election, whether
they want to continue or to abolish the
liquor traffic from the commonwealth.
The CENSOR believes the voters are
competent and DESTROYS of deciding
that foI themselves.

every make - tractor. of which there
are over fifty. sold in Wisconsin, and
perhaps many makes not yet on sale
in this state.
Simply showing a tractor does not
suffice so officials of the State Fair
have obtained 1900 acres of land west
of the Fair grounds for demonstrations
during the mornings Of Fair week,
Sept 10 to 10 inclusive.
This land lies along the Interurban
railway, and electric trains will leave
the main gates of the State Fair every
half hour up to noon carrying people
to the demonstrations Pass out but
tons win be given to those who desire
to leave the Fair grounds for the dem
onstrations and return at noon.
The demonstration lands lie between
West Allis and Calhoun. five miles
apart Tractors for demonstration
purposes can be unloaded either at
Calhoun or West Allis.
No other State Fair in the United
States has taken up the tractor idea,
but many are planning to follow Wis
consins example next year.
Wisconsin Fair officials are striving
each year to make the State Fair
stronger lndustrially as well as along
agricultural lines. and the tractor 81 Nv
and demonstration is a result of this
policy

of rallying time for consideration of
fraternal matters, and it is understood
that a number of fraternal orders in

MUST BE REGULAR

After January lst there can be no
more common law marriages without a

law was passed in 1915 there have been
many common law marriages to escape
getting a license, such marriage be-

fled a written declaration of their in
tention with register of deeds. Tn.
der the new law common law marri-
ages may still be performed, but the
parties are required to first obtain a
license before the contract is valid.
