TRADE STAMP LAW
HELD TO Be VALID
BILL PASSED BY LAST 1EGlSLA-
TURE UPHELD BY WISCoN-
SIN SUPREME COURT.
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1918
New Law Prohibits Use of Stamps in
Connection With Sales of Mer-
chandise - Decision Is
Fourth in Country.

Madison-The 1917 law prohibiting
the use of trading stamps in connec-
ion with the sale of merchandise, was
sustained in all it's provisions by a
memorandum decision, handed down
by the Wisconsin supreme court.
This law was introduced in the last
legislature by Assemblyman Charles
f. Hart, Oshkosh and Assemblyman
p. w. Peterson of Racine. After the
bill was passed by the legislature the
governor signed 1t but attached a
memorandum message expressing dis
approval of it in some respects. The
law as passed provides that it shall
take effect Jan. l, 1918.
Early in November four suits were
commenced in the supreme court by
Sperry & Hutchinson company of New
York, Ed Schuster company Of Mil
waukee, Merchandise Bond company
of Milwaukee and the United Cigars
Stores company of New York to have
the law declared unconstitutional and
to- have state officers enjoined from
enforcing it's provisions. The case
was argued in the supreme court on
Dec. Z.
While the bill was pending in the
legislature Deputy Attorney General
Walter Drew was asked to advise with
respect to it's provisions and constitu-
ionality and assist in framing the bill
and gave an opinion that the bill, If
passed, would be valid. The decision
of the supreme court is the fourth de-
cision in this country sustaining such
legislation.
The Wisconsin statute is the most
COMPREHENSIVE and effective statute of
the trading stamp business that has
been enacted

STATE DEATH RATE is LOW
Quarterly Report Issued by Board of
Health Shows That Wisconsin
Figures Are 90 Per 1000.

Madison-Figures showing Wiscon-
sins death rate to range around SO
per 1000 people, as compared with
rate of IA for the states comprising the
registration area, are published by the
state board of health in a quarterly
bulletin now in press. During the
third quarter this year $3.50 deaths
were reported. The death rate. of 80
per 1000 for that period is an average
rate for the past nine years. In 1916
the rate was 1913.
Relative to the decline in infant
mortality this year the board says:
"On account of the unusual prevail
ence of diarrhoeal disease during the
hot summer months, it may be ex-
pected that under normal conditions
there will be an unusual increase in
the number of deaths reported among
children under one year of age This,
however, is not the case and we are
pleased to state that the number of
deaths under one year of age for the
ten-year period from 1908 to 1917
shows gradual decline"

Chancellor Martineau of Little Rock issued a mandamus on Secre- tary of State Terral requiring that of ficial to issue a certificate of nomina tion to J. T. Robertson of Marianna as candidate for delegate from the First Congressional District to the constitu- tional convention to be held in No vember. The chancellor. however, de- clined to grant the petition to direct that the certificate of A. l.. Hutchins of Woodruff be rescinded.
 The petition was sustained on the ground that any citizen had right to have his name certified as candidate by filing his request within the speci- fled time with the secretary of state. On the same grounds Chancellor Mar tineau sustained the demurrer of MT. Terral in regard to resembling the certificate issued to Mir. HutchinS. Both. according to his decision, had equal rights as citizens to be certified by the secretary of state as candi- dates.

PETITIONS ARE FILED BY FIVE TRUNK LINES OPERATING
 IN THE STATE.
ASK PERMANENT INJUNCTION
Judge Trieber Gave the Railroads 90 Days in Which To Take Proof, the State To Have 90 Days Following
 Submission of Carriers Proof.
Little Rock

Federal Judge Jacob Trieber of Lit tie Rock set January 14, 1918, for final submission of petitions filed by the Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Cotton Belt, Kansas City Southern and Pine Bluff & Arkansas River railroads for permanent injunctions against the Ar kansas two-cent passenger rate law. The petitions were filed in April, 1915. when temporary injunctions were ob- tained.
 Postponement of action on perma- nent injunctions was obtained to en- able the state, through the 1917 Legis- lature, to obtain finances to contest the cases.
 The Arkansas Railroad Commission and the attorney general recommend ed an appropriation of $20,000. The Senate passed bill appropriating $1O.- 900, but the measure died on the House calendar.
 Action on the petions of the i've roads will be based on conditions ex- isting prior to their filing or before the present conditions due to the war arose Judge Trieber announced that he would incorporate a provision in his decree permitting the losing side to reopen the case should conditions after the war change sufficiently to warrant a new hearing.
 Judge Trieber's statement was made following a request by Assistant At torney General Campbell that the hear ing should be postponed until after termination of the war and when con ditions were normal.
 The first two-cent passenger rate decision handed down by the United States Supreme Court. in which the railroads lost, contained similar pro- vision. and it was under that provi- sion that the present cases were in- stigated. The United States Supreme Court dismissed the first cases with. out prejudice. informing the railroads that they could file new suits if condi. tions changed.
 The Frisco Railroad, which brought a separate suit, obtained an injunction in a recent decision of the Supreme Court, which held that two-cent pas senger rates, as applied to the Fris- co. were confisCatory
 Judge Trieber gave the railroads go days in which to take proof. the state to have 90 days following submission of the carriers proof. The carriers then will be given 20 days in which to get up rebuttal testimony.
