Commonwealth Where New Ideas
Have Come to Light
Most Popular Book

Ray SIannard Baker tells or WIS
consin in the February American
Magazine and points out some unusual
characteristics of the state. Among
other things lie says:
"By the way, did you ever hear La
Toilette speak to his constituents?
Well! A red-hot chautauqua tent, a
broiling open space at the county fair,
Masonic hall in the town packed to
he gasping point-and La Toilette
10 there in a long black coat, his pug
nacious hair standing straight up,
pouring out bucketfuls, barrelfuls,
hogsheadfuls of facts. Never were
such deluges of statistics, never such
husky argument Of political creeds,
ever such apostolic denunciation and
prophecy. After two hours the alarm
watch which the senator carries goes
eff with a metallic burr. 1t is the sig
nal for him to stop, though he has no
intention of doing SO.
eco on, go on!' roars the audience,
and there they remain, dissolving in
mutual perspiration, for another hour
Or so of it. A regular Jonathan Ed
wards of politics-is this La Toilette.
And the wonder of La Toilette is the
people who listen to him and elect
u; in
wisconsin is the least partisan, the
most fearless thinking Of the states;
and its most important contribution
to the nation is it's hard-wrOught po-
litical and educational pioneering and
experimentation. Carl Schurz, fresh
from the German Revolution Of '48,
was one of it's earliest leaders, and a
trustee Of it's university. John Bas-
com, the moral philosopher when
president Of that university, trained
a whole generation Of fearless politi-
cal athletes, La Toilette among them.
Professor Ely lit the light Of indie
pendent thought in hundreds Of young
minds; and later there have been
President Van Hise, Professor Ross,
Professor Commons, Professor Reinsch
now ambassador to China, and many
others-all sturdy thinkers. No rep
resentat.ves at Washington have been
more stubbornly independent than
those from Wisconsin. 1t was no acct
dent that Wisconsin sent the first So
cialist to congress, and elected the
first Socialist administration Of a
large city.
with it all, Wisconsin is not rad
ical state: it is too tough-minded, too
practical It wants to go ahead, but
to go ahead solidly and cautiously.
Other states may go wild with reform
legislation but not Wisconsin. Wis
cons'n wants to be certain that all it's
political reforms are buckled down to
real educational and economic ends.
Thus, while no state has gone as far
as Wisconsin in the voluntary appli-
cation Of cooperation to daily affairs,
the state has not adopted the Initial
i've, the referendum or recall; while
it's taxation system is probably the
best in America, it voted down woman
suffrage; and with the most advanced
laws for state insurance and the con-
troll Of railroads, banks and corpora
tions, every effort taus far to secure
