Discuss Fight on Appointees.


George L. Buck, Racine, introduced
a seemingly innocent resolution in the
senate Wednesday, which started
many rumors Of an attack on the gov
ernor and his appointments.
The resolution provides an amend
ment to the senate rules that all APP
pointments by the governor shall go
to a standing committee before con-
firmation. Senator Buck explained lie
wanted personal knowledge on the
qualifications of the appointees whom
he was asked to confirm.
Senator Buck in a statement in sup
port of his resolution said there was
nothing personal in the matter but
that list of appointees had been sub
mitted by the governor and he did not
want to vote for or against any of
them until he knew whether or not
they were qualified.
Rumors were Immediately circulat-
ing in the Hobbies that the resolution
was introduced as a means of procur-
ing an investigation of several of the
appointments announced.

Declares Milk is Too Cheap.

Consumers are not paying enough
for milk!
milk has risen only 100 per cent in
price during the war, while other food
products have mounted from 100 to
200 per cent.
'"The only way the Wisconsin dairy
men can gain a fair price for their
product is through a strong organiza-
ton!
women who intend to boycott but
ter and eggs because Of the high prices
should be educated by the farmers to
realize that the price is very low"
These were the singing shots in an
address delivered before the annual
meeting of the Milwaukee Milk and
Cream Shippers association by A. j.
Glover, Fort Atkinson.
The speaker explained that there
are 100000 cows in the state and not
one of the animals is given the proper
ratiOnS.
No indication of a change in milk
prices for February was manifested at
the meeting. The dealers price will
be fixed within a few days at con-
ference between the directors of the
Milk and Cream Shippers association
and the dealers.

See No Lower Wheat and Flour.

No prospects of lower wheat and
flour prices are foreseen by Milwaukee
grain men, even though there is an
enormous surplus of grain above the
demand. The government price of ST.
% must be maintained to stabilize the
market, they believe. The payment of
$2.26 per bushel for wheat to the farm
er must continue until June 1, 1920
The government may remove the limit
on the market and pay the-farmer the
difference, but this would disrupt the
market, grain men say.

ASSEMBLY D. KS
WILCOX MEASURE
Ballard of Appleton Asks Probe of
Liberty Loan Drives.
Philip LAUDS DRAFT BOARDS
Asserts All Compensation Was Paid to
Workers Through Provost Mar
shall GeneraI-Sees Nothing
Unlawful.

MadisOn.-While a resolution by
Assemblyman @. B. Ballard of Apple
ton has been offered in the lower
house asking for an investigation OF
the Liberty loan drives in the state,
the prospects are that this resolution
will be defeated by substantial vote.
The resolution asks for committee OF
five members of the legislature, Of two
senators and three assemblymen, to
make the investigation.
Assemblyman Ballard says that
charges have been made against many
Liberty loan leaders in Wisconsin and
that such an investigation would clear
these men Of those charges. An at
tempt to give the resolution lmmedl-
ate consideration failed and the matter
will come up again.
After three weeks of delay the legis-
Iature has adopted the Wilcox resolu-
ton in favor of league of peace, of
which the United States shall be a
member.
Gov. E. L. Philip announced
that he would not transmit to
the legislature an itemized state
ment covering the expense in Wiscon-
sin Of the administration of the draft
act with the names Of all persons who
received compensation, as requested
by Assemblyman Clark Perrys joint
resolution, adopted in the house and
concurred in by the senate.
Thus the proposed investigation OF
alleged patriotic pork and double
salaries, said to have been collected
by county clerks, sheriffs and others
called upon to do extra work in con-
nection with the draft, will come to a
sudden halt.
Governor Philips refusal to trans
nit to the legislature the information
demanded in Mr.. Perry's resolution is
based on the fact that the records be-
long to the United States government
and would be obtainable only through
the consent of the war department. He
says there would be no objection on
his part to giving the complete record
for the closest scrutiny if it were per-
MISSILE to do so.
In a statement, Governor Philip de-
MED any knowledge of graft in con-
nection with the administration of the
draft act, and he expressed the hope
that no one will be led to believe that
anything unlawful was DONE"
"a resolution recently passed by the
legislature providing for an investiga-
ton of abe draft boards in the state,
particularly with reference to the
amount of compensation that was paid
to members, has caused some press
comment, and possibly some wrong i'm
pressions in the minds of the public"
said Governor Philip.
1.-THE compensation that members of
the draft boards received was paid by
the United States government through
General Growder, who acted for the
war department under the direction Of
the president of the United States.
The salaries paid to members were
small-the first schedule was on a per
diem basis and later the payments
were made on the basis of the number
of questionnaires.
I'm all cases the payments were
small in view of the character Of serv-
ice rendered"

Milwaukee 7s Years a City.

Milwaukee has a birthday this week
-73 years old on January 81. In 1916
Milwaukee had grown sufficiently
large to pass out of the village and
into the city class. The Indian name
of Milwaukee was "Mahn-eh-wauk,"
meaning big council place. In the
early days OF city clothes the residents
disputed much whether the end of the
name should he spelled "kie" or "kee. -
For a number OF years the east side
OF the river was Milwaukee and the
west side Milwaukee.

Spring Weather at Capital.

Score Madison as one of the best
little early spring towns in the state.
Winter bluejays have been chirping in
their best spring style, the grass in the
capitol park is green, the first robin

blossomed forth. The squirrels have
left their winter houses in the trees,
and are lined up on all the approaches
to the statehouse. Can any town in
the state beat this early combination?

Would Store Grain in Boats.

The congestion in grain handling ia
cilities in Milwaukee through the
large percentage of elevator space Oc-
cupied by grain taken over by the
government has become SO acute that
directors Of the Milwaukee Chamber
of Commerce passed a resolution adj
dressed to the United States Food Ad-
ministration Grain corporation asking
relief.
The plan suggested in the resolu-
tons is to load some Of the govern
ment grain now occupying elevator
space into boats now in Milwaukee
harbor for winter storage and the
food administration has been asked
for authority to make the transfer
which, in the opinion Of grain men,
will greatly relieve the situation.
