Definite Policy Essential.

Secretary McAdoo now proposes
new bond issue in theSsum Of something
more than seven and a half billions,
bearing 400 per cent interest, and sub
iect to certain taxes-such as the super
tax on incomes, excess profits, taxes
and the like. The first issue of Liber-
ty Bonds is,t be taken up by the new
issue and the balance used for loans
to the allied governments who. are fight
ing with US against Germany. Congress
locks upon some features of this propos-
al without enthusiasm. Members of
both houses are of the opinion that it
is high time for a definite policy to
be adopted for the financing of the
war, for determination of tie per-
centage Of cost to be borne by taxation
and by bonds, for concrete plan for
the retirement of the securities which
are issued, and for general scheme of
marketing government bonds which will
not leave the purchaser of successive
issues at the mercy of the whims of
future secretaries of the treasury, or
of future congresses. For instance, we
now have situation whereby the pur
chasers of the first Liberty Bonds find
the conditions of those securities under
going change even before they have
been printed. If the war is to be sue
cessfully financed, if the country is to
absorb the necessary bond issues with
out disturbance to business, there must
be stability N the programme to be fol-
lowed. Financing war is not exactly
ike building tunnel under the Hud-
son river.

their whereabouts might be definitely
known and absence at entrainment time
be thereby avoided insofar as possible,
In case any of the men fail to report,
however, alternates viii be on hand to
take their places in the ranks. The
men from whom such substitutes viii
come include Serafno Ruffalo, George
Koracev, E. NJ. L. Rasmussen, Joseph
Waikaites, and Peter Zavitniewiez.
They have been informed of their
liability for service and will conse-
quently keep themselves in readiness
in case it may be necessary for them
to leave on Thursday.
The trip to Battle Creek will be
made by way of Chicago and win bring
the conscripts into the national service
by 400 clock on Thursday afternoon.
After they have been formally mus
tered in, they viii be assigned to
temporary quarters and given uniforms
and equipment. It is probable that
they will be employed until their com
patriots arrive in completing canton
ments and surveying backgrounds for
various battaions. They viii possibly
see no training until the entire quota
arrives. This regulation is made in
order that the drafted men may have
approximately the same opportunity
for promotion and may thereby ap-
proach their work with new incentive
for patriotism and efficiency.

Defying Economic Law.

The difficulty of price-ixing in any
commodity is well illustrated by the
copper country. Not all mines are of
the same richness of ore, nor can they
all smell and transport their product
at uniform cost. Yet, if the price of
copper i to be fixed for all producers
and how else can it be done?-the low
grade mines will be compelled to shut
down if the fixed price is lower than
their cost of production, and if the
price is fixed so as to care for the
lower grade producers the high-grade
mines will reap a di9proportionate
profit. 1t will be manifestly impossi-
BILE to establish costs for each indi-
vidual with whom the government will
do business in all the various lines of
supply purchase, yet there can be no
bed of Procrustes by which to set the
standard. The whole idea of price fix
ing is revolutionary in economies.
However, the tendency nowadays is to
set legislative fat above the i'm
mutable laws of supply and demand, of
production and distribution. 1t may be
done, we suppose; but the whole ex-
pertinent is likely to turn out like that
wherein the Irishman taught his horse
to eat shavings by the expedient of
putting green spectacles on the animal,
thus deceiving him into the idea that
the shayings were grass. The horse
learned to eat shavings, all right; but
no sooner had he learned than he died!

Wisconsin Leads in
War Health Measur7,s
tuberculosis Measures Passed by Last
Legislature Will Aid in Solving
War Problem.

Foresight on the part of senators and
assemblymen, who have strengthened
the states facilities for fighting tu-
berculosis as a measure of national de-
Tense, has placed Wisconsin in the front
rank of states which are enacting war
preparedness health measures, accord
ing to Mr.. Otto F. Bradley, assistant
secretary of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association, in personal charge
of the association s legislative work.
"Tn exercising this foresight" he
said, Especial credit IS due the members
of the joint finance committee who
were daily beset with insistent demands
for appropriations for meritorious meas
ures far in excess of the limits set for
the states expenditures, and who bore
the burden of responsibility in deciding
which of the demands were most imper-
ative.o New York is another state
which is guarding itself against an in
creased tuberculosis problem. It's leg
islature last winter passed a, law MAX
ing it compulsory for every county with
a population of over $4,000 to erect and
maintain a tuberculosis sanatorium.
Briefly summarized, the tuberculosis
legislation added to the wisconsin pro-
gram by the last legislature is as fol-
lows:

trio plant at Tomahawk Lake camp,
and appropriating $4,000 available
July l, 1913, for refeetory and en-
ployees' building at the camp, a total
OF $4,000.
"An act appropriating $4,000 for
the erection of a new state sanatorium

rum cannot be opened for patients un-
til the next session of the legislature,
however, no provision having been
made for its operation and mainte-
nance.

first year of the biennium and $685.
900 for the second year, this i~erease
being required of new institutions.
Appropriations were also made for
the Improvement, as well as for the OPP
Grafton and maintenance, of the state
institutions at Statesan and Tomahawk
Lake.
By these measures, in addition to what
has been accomplished in the past, is
Wisconsin preparing to protect herself
against such a tuberculosis menace as
now threatens France, which had not

THE PEOPLES COUNCIL.

We don It know where we're going,
But we sure are on the way.
We want to help the Kaiser
No matter what we say.
We WILL have a convention
If we hold it out at sea
With little U-boats all around
Applauding Bill and We.
We WILL have that convention
If we hold it in Berlin,
To show our friend the Kaiser
How much we think of him.
We don It know where we re going,
But we sure are on the way.
Our crowd is kind of dwindling,
It shrinks each night and day.
But we WILL have that convention
If we only number two,
For two's crowd and two of us
Can talk like twenty-five.

Big Bill Thompson has lot of low
able qualities. In fact he has lot
OF things to recommend him for real
political leadership. However, we re-
call that Benedict Arnold was one of
the best fellows" that ever lived.
He was even leader in the Colonial
army, but all of those lovable quail
ties did not keep him from being a
traitor. The isolation which was
visited on Benedict Arnold with all
his good qualities seems to be some
thing of the thing Big Bill of Chicago
has in store for him.

council IN Generous Mood.
1t was an excellent night for salary
increases as the council seemed to be
IL a generous mood. They started with
an increase of SO per month for JAM
tor Sydney of the city hall, caused by
the opening of new offices in the build
ing and the extra work necessi5ated
The council closed with a general in
crease of salary for all of the persons
employed in the engineering depart
ment due to the exceptional amount of
work which has been laid upon them
Alderman Bounsal early in the meet
ing took the role of guardian of the
public funds as he opposed the attempt
to continue indefinitely on the pay roll
firemen and policemen who were in
jured in the service, as he declared
that every man "would have his
friends in court" and that halt must
be called somewhere Later he be-
came prodigal in urging increases in
salary and a payment of a premium to
Andrew Thompson for efficient services
while in the employ of the city in the
construction of sewers.
The health board came up for its
quota of praise and censure when the
council was asked to employ an addi-
tional nurse for the school months.
Alderman Boylan pointed out that the
winter months meant increase in dan
gers of contagion for children and that
an addition was necessary before the
work became too heavy for the health
department. Alderman Joachim sum-
med up the opposition to the measure
by his statement that eff we keep on
hiring, the first thing we know, we
will have to build new city hall to
house them ALL but the motion was
finally carried by a vote of twelve to
six.
