REVENUE BILL
MAY PASS TODAY
Chairman Simmons Will Make
Effort to Have it Passed
By Senate
TALKS DELAY PROGRESS
TALKS DELAY PROGRESS

Washington, Dec. 21.-Although
renewal Of general Senate debate
halted progress on the war revenue
bill, Senator Simmons, chairman of
the Finance Committee, announced
that an ecort would be made to pass
the measure before adjournment to-
day. Republican leaders, however,
expressed the belif that the measure
would go over until Monday.
Practically all of today's session
was devoted to discussion, the prin-
cipal speakers being Senator Jones
of New Mexico and Senator Thomas
Of Colorado, both Democrats. The
former declared the bill contained
many inequalities and injustices
which handicap the conduct of busi-
ness.
Speaking in support of substi-
tute measure, of which he is author,
Senator Thomas declared the watch
word for this Congress should be
"retrenchment, frugalit yand econ
omy." Adoption of Federal budget
system was urged by the Senator,
who said national bankruptcy would
result unless such system is put in
to ecect.
Senator Thomas opposed granting
the recommendation made by Sec
retary Daniels for increased naval
appropriations declaring "every dol
lar placed in battleship is dollar
wastel."
Vote on 1920 Tax Today.
Senator La Follete, Republican Of
Wisconsin, plans to discuss his sub
stitute bill today, after which Sena-
tor Simmons hopes to obtain a vote
on the committee amendment provid-
ing for $4,000, 900, 900 tax in 1920,
the section which Republicans are
opposing.
Just before the Senate adjourned
Senator McKellar, Democrat of Ten
nessee, announced that before final
passage of the bill he would demand
a separate vote on the postal section
tentatively accepted by the Senate
late yestrday proposing tn repeal Of
the present zone system for scond-
class mail and substituting a one
cent a pound rate within $50 miles
and l 1-2 cents beyond.

as far as possible in producing substi.
tutes for those supplies demanded for
the support of the American armies
and their Allies in Europe.
That the big expositions of America
are invaluable for reaching the pro
ducers is a fact recognized by the
American and Canadian Governments
early in the war period, and that is
why both Governments are strongly
cooperating with their agricultural
fairs.
Records for 1917 show that over 49,
100000 attended fairs in the United
States alone, and among those who
attended the fairs were a large per.
centage CT producers of America.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture is sending to the Wiscon.

will occupy over 5000 square feet Of
space with educational features.
A Hoover exhibit occupying as much
space is being prepared under drec-
ton of Mr.. Hoover's department.

BY OLIVER E. REMEY, Secretary.


Milwaukee, July %. = The Wiscon-
sin State Fair has shown an increase
of sixty-fve per cent in attendance in
three years.
Why?
During the past three years grounds,
buildings and other equipment have
been added to, and, still more impor-
tant. every department has been i'm
proved, and new departments and fea-
lures have been added, bringing the
great Exposition right up to date.
In 1917 the Wisconsin State Fair
took its place among the Class A ex-
positions of America, which means
that as a well balanced, educational
institution it ranked with the best in
America.

Gov. E. L. Phillip has spent
several days at each of the last
three state fairs. He says:
"Those actively engaged in
production in Wisconsin especial
ly cannot afford to miss our
mammoth annual State Fair, and
urge all citizens of the State
who possibly can do so to attend
this years exposition because of
the beneficial educational results
to be obtained from this model
state institution. Those who have
seen it during the past three
years need no urging to avail
themselves of this oppor+"r;.y

There are other expositions of
greater magnitude-notably the Texas
and Minnesota State Fairs-but none
is better balanced or excels in class,
and few are equal from the point of
view of keeping stride with educational
progress.
Because of the improvement during
the past three years in the Wisconsin
State Fair, citizens of Wisconsin are
again giving the great Exposition their
confidence and patronage.
Strong Live Stock Exhibits.
What special features will the Wis
consin State Fair of 1918 offer?
All basic departments of the State
Fair, of which there are thirty-two,
will be as strong as it is possible to
make them.
The cattle, swine and sheep divi-
sions will not only present mammoth
arrays, but quality will be improved.
This will be especially true of the cat
tie department, for at least three
champion herds never before seen in
Wisconsin will be present this year.
The 1917 poultry show was most
highly recommended, yet the 1918
poultry show will far surpass that of
1917.
Premiums offered for live stock and
poultry are: Horses, $10.17O.O0; cat
tie, S10,424.00; sheep, $4,049.O0; swine.
s5.2S000; poultry, s4,30200.
Because of the great gains made by
motor driven vehicles, horse depart
ments at all fairs have suffered. This
ought not to be the case this year, for
the future of the horse breeding in
dustry was never brighter. Every eff.
fort will be made to have strong
horse department this year, and there
viii be several notable features in this
department.
Features of County Exhibits.
In the department Of farm crops and
county exhibits there will be an I'M
usual display by several counties.
number of Wisconsin counties are
noted for live stock. Several of them
are arranging to make live stock ex.
hibits by counties, the exhibits com
petifg in the regular classifcations
for live stock. These exhibits will no
segregated and advertised for the ben.
eft of the counties making them.
This department also will present
new exhibits tending to exemplifv nm.
to-date land clearing and farming.

plants and flowers viii not only pre-
sent greatly augmented exhibits but
