SEES BIG TRADE
BOOM FOR STATE
Lake Harbors Soon Accessible to
Seagoing Vessels, Predic-
ton of Legislator.
WOULD CUT FREIGHT RATES
AssembIyman Nye MemoriaIizes Con-
gress to improve St. Lawrence
Bill to Repeal Personal Prop
erty Offset in Income Tax

MISUNDERSTANDING that the state
of Wisconsin will be greatly benefited
from trade standpoint by the I'M
provement of the st. Lawrence river,
which would make Lake Michigan and
Lake Superior accessible to seagoing
vessels, Assemblyman Ray J. Nye of
Superior offered a memoria to con-
gress suggesting the Improvement OF
the river, in cooperation with Cam
ada.
The assemblyman said he foresaw
the day when the great ocean liners
from Liverpool, Hongkong and other
important commercial centers would
be steaming into Lake Michigan and
Lake Superior ports with their prod
ucts. This Improvement, he declared,
would cut transportation on wheat 6
cents bushel between Superior, Mil
waukee and all English ports. The
resolution was adopted.
Senator Pullen offered bill fixing
the minimum salaries Of county or dis
trict superintendent Of schools at
from $1,000 to $1,000, based on num-
Der Of teachers employed.
In the lower house Assemblyman j.
w. Conner offered a resolution indoors
ing the league of nations plan.
Assemblyman John w. Porter of JEFF
ferson presented measure requiring
private and parOchial schools to dis
play the American flag.
A bill to repeal the personal prop
erty offset in the state income tax law
was offered in the assembly by Assem-
blyman G. e. Hanson Of Pierce coun-
ty. This bill was recommended by the
state tax commission in its biennial re-
port just filed with the governor. As
semblyman Hanson said that he has
been unable to discover any reason
why this personal property offset
should be retained. His measure will
greatly increase the returns under the
income tax law and will materially in
crease the revenues of the state. For
the year 1918 the personal property
offset in the state amounted to Sc, 307, i
435. The Hanson bill would increase
the tax revenues of the state and To-
calities by that amount. Since the in
come tax law has been in operation
the personal property offset has
amounted to $12,837, 1927. while the
cash collections have amounted to
S16.5O2, 1899. In other words, about 40
per cent Of the state income tax is
dissipated in offsets"
Another bill offered by Assembly
man G. e. Hanson gives the legislature
power to remove an appointive Off
cial. The bill provides: "Any appoint
i've state officer, after being examined
lis provided in sections 1928 and 1924,
may be removed by the legislature by
joint resolution adopted in each house
by a majority of the members pres
ent. The power to remove appointive
state officers provided in this section is
additional to and shall not be con-
strued as destroying the right Of re-
moval by other persons

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
Kidneys
By DOCTOR WATSON.


People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have duty
of vital Importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form Of urate saltsin the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain comhina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, so that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles, don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce.
too, and he will tell you what to eat and
how to live so that more uric acid win not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce viii not
charge for this advice.

First Socialist Bill offered.

y
The first piece of Socialist legisla-
ton presented in the assembly was
that by Henry Sievers, Milwaukee. 1t
was a resolution memorializing con-
gress to take immediate steps to as
sumo ownership and operation of all
coal mines, because ''such a great pub
lie necessity essential to the life and
comfort of the people, ought to be held
for the use and benefit Of all the peo-
pie, rather than as an instrument for
massing of great fortunes" and
"The present system Of private own
ership and management of mining of
coal results in struggles between capt.
tai and labor, wasteful methods of
mining, high profits to capitalists and
high costs to the consumer

Speaking with one of the commits.

had only been surmised. Herds of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells.
many of them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
Of leveling and getting under cultiva-
ton will take a long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer
on this side Of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds Of live stock
will have to be replenished, and this
will take years: the provisioning Of
the people in the meantime is the task
the farmers here will be asked to I'M
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de.
mand; all that can be provided will
be needed. This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion Of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments Of European neutrals for In
creased supplies now that there is no
submarine menace.

er this means demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time in the
past. Wheat will be needed, meat win
be required. The slogan 'don't stop
saving food" is as necessary today as
ever. The purpose Of this article is to
direct attention to the fact that hum
dreds Of thousands Of acres Of land
in Western Canada are still unoccu-
pied, and this land is capable Of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
its rich grasses are easily raised land
cheaply too-the cattle that. will be
sought; in its soil lies the nutriment
that makes easy the production of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
the farmer will be assured of a good
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices, on easy
terms, and with the abundance Of re-
turns that it will give, it does not mean
matter Of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These facts, the low cost Of the land,
and its great productivity, combined
with the admirable marketing and
transport facilities at the disposal Of
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada an attractive propositions Ad-
avertisement.

Socialist Loses on Lot Election.

A decision given by Circuit Court
Judge M. J. Kirwan at Manitowoc
gives the contested assembly seat in
that district to John Forfeldt, Repub-
lican. George Rathsack, Socialist, won
the seat on a lottery when the vote
was declared a tie, but this was set
aside when the Fourth ward poll lists
showed as many names as ballots
cast. Two of Lorfeldt's ballots, hav-
ing been withdrawn from the count in
that ward, were ordered restored and
counted, giving Lorfeldt a plurality Of
two.

Wisconsin Brewers TO Quit.

Wisconsin brewers will quit without
making a fight against the validity of
the proceedings leading to the ratifica-

ment, according to statement made
by William FL. Austin, counsel for the

brewers take the position that the fight
against the amendment is up to the
people, and those in the brewing in
dustry will not expend any money for
propaganda or for halfway legislation

Concerned About Rabies.

Ten counties in Wisconsin, reports
the state laboratory of hygiene, have
reason to be concerned about rabies.
They are Milwaukee, Waukesha, Dane,
Washington, Jefferson, Racine, Vernon,
Ozaukee, Rock and Walworth. Since
last July the laboratory has received
from these counties the heads of 81
animals. Eight showed that the ami
NAL had rabies. These were only a
small proportion of the animals which
have died of rabies in these counties
since the head is not always sent for
diagnosis.

A memorial asking for the calling OF
state constitutional convention was
offered in the assembly by Assembly
man E. W. Knappe, Milwaukee. The
resolution calls for the submission of
this question to vote of the people at
the election in November, 1920.
'sThe present constitution is anti
quated,' says Assemblyman Knappe.
