ESTIMATES ON ENORMOUS
GASOLINE CONSUMPTION.

There are over two hundred thous-
and cars in Wisconsin. Three out of
four were certainly in use on July
fourth. This is 10000. They burned
on an average Of not less than three
gallons of gasoline apiece on that day
probably more. Call the bill IS
cents per car and Wisconsin will have
spent $112,5OO for gasoline on that
day. The prospect that the govern
ment will put into effect regulations
governing the use of gasoline in pleas
ure cars to the end that the fuel may
be conserved for war purposes does
not seem so unlikely in the light of
the above figures. Mineral Point Tri-

Time will demonstrate that Mr.
Wilson is the greatest war president
the nation ever had"
That is the opinion expressed bv
MIR. Gerard, soon after his return from
Berlin, where he had been the Ameri-
can ambassador to Germany.
L Mr. Wilson becomes such a pres

steps he took when he was forced to
call for declaration Of war against
the German government.
His first important step after that
event was to turn his back upon-to
positively sever relations the
entire pacifst element.
That step brought to him scandal

The other step exhibited equal
sense and patriotism. The president

which it ever participated, realized
how important it was that he counsel

BADGER SOLONS
KNOCK OUT LAW
Of MINNESOTA
SENATOR ROETHE LEADS FIGHT
ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER NET
LICENSE BILL,
madison Democrat, July 49,

(MdUISOu july 10.
1t isn't often a Wisconsin legisIa-
tive body has the chance to knock
out a Minnesota law. But that's what
happened at the session which closed
this week and the Badger senators
actually did render void one section
of the Gopher states regulations on
fishing in the Mississippi river.
Henry Roethe, editOr-senatOr from
Fennimore, many of whose Grant and
Crawford county constituents are in
terested in fishing in the Father of
Waters, led successful onslaught
upon the duplicate of the Minnesota
law which was contained in a bill on
net licenses introduced in the upper
house by Senator Stevens. The bill
provided that no fishing for CONNER
cial purposes under licenses shall be
done in the Mississippi river except
under personal supervision of a su-
pervising warden, the salary and ex-
pense (not to exceed 50 a day. of said
supervising warden to be paid by the
licensee.
Champion Of the Poor.
Senator ROethe cOntended that this
provision was in the interest of the
big fellows in the fish business who
wouldn't feel the expense, but would
impose hardship on hundreds OF
men whose operations are on a small
score. So cOnvincingly did he plead
that the senate ignored a committee
report favoring the section and cut
it out
In the meantime the Minnesota leg
islature, after a conference with
Wisconsin committee, had passed the
same law, but made it's operation con-
tingent upon Wisconsin adopting the
measure too
Saves Clam Industry.
A proposed law to permit the use
of dredges in clam fishing in the Mis-
sissippi river also was killed through
the strenuous objections of Senator
Roethe, who declared it would ruin
the clam industry. He said dredges
would not only gather practically all
the mature CLANS but would tear up
the beds and exterminate even the
tiny Young ones. so that in few years
there would be none He emphasized
the Importance of pearl button fac
tories at Prairie du Chen and many
other river towns, and told how they
are dependent upon the work Of clam
mers for their supply of shells. The
method Of fishing for CLANS with
crowsfoot hook, in vogue at present,
does not destroy the young nor does
it hog tho supply, the senator said.

England where war conditions have
prevailed for three years, beer is still
being manufactured and sold. The
English government would not dare
face the internal trouble resultant
from cutting off the beer supply. This
is not an argument for liquor selling.
We simply fail to see the consistency
of cutting off the use of liquor in this
country as a war measure while at
the same time we are shipping boat
load after boat load of cereals to Eng
land to be used in their beer making.

company will probably be as obliging-

and that is saying lot. But it does
bring to us that not forever will the
common utilities so essential and ne
cessary. as coal, oil and kindred things,
remain in the hands of private con-
Germs for the exploitation of the peo-
pie who must use them. These things
are necessary to all and the new COS
