There appears to be only one great
nation among the late beliigerentS
that has suffered no financial panic ur
crisis Or serious darg ger of any kind
.inca the war. France As been on the
verge of disaster, Italy has been in a
parlous state Japan has suffered Z.
desperate crisis, and the United
States, while Of course perfectly SOL
vent, faces a colossal deficit for the
current fiscal year. But Great Brit
ain, after bearing the fiscal brunt of
the war, has just paid off half a bill
ion dollars of her debts, and will close
the fiscal year with a handsome sur
plus of revenue over expenditures. It
would be folly to associate this state
of affairs from the fact that Great
Britain, conspicuously above all other
nations, has reduced governmental
finance to a science and has for CEN
turtles made her chief treasury officer
the executive head of her administra-
ton. Her budget system is the most
business-like and efficient in the world !:
while ours is like the storied snakes
of Iceland.-Harveys Weekly.

SOCIALISM IS BANKRUPTED

The whole of these various sorts of
Socialism are based on one primary
conception, and that is that the pro-
ductivity Of the human being can be
maintained under the impulse of al
truism and that the selection of the
particular human for his most produc-
tive performance can be made by some
superimposed bureaucracy. Their weak
ness is the disregard of the normal
day to day primary impulse of the hui
man animal that is, self interest for
himself or for his family and home,
with a certain addition of altruism
varying with his racia1 instinct and
his degree of intelligence. They fail to
take into account, also, that there is
but one sufficiently selective agent for
human abilities in that infinite special
ization of mind and body necessary to
maintain the output of the intricate
machinery of production, and that is
the primary school of competition.
My emphatic conclusion is, there
fore, that Socialism as a philosophy of
possible human application is bank
upted.-Herbert Hoover.

STATE MAY FIX
HOUSE RENTS
IN WISCONSIN
Bill Favored by Legislature Ceding
Such Power to Commission al
Madison

Two committees of the legislature
have recommended for passage bill
giving the state railroad commission
power upon investigation to fix the
rent of any apartment house or other
dwelling in any city of the state in
Guiding office buildings. The senate
public welfare committee and joint
finance committee today recommend
ed these bills and indications are the
measure will pass the senate
After sharp fight the assembly by
a vote of 1888 passed the Coe. bill ap-
propriating upwards of million dol
lars for increases in salaries, repairs,
and operating expenses at the univer-
sity, and by vote of 71-13 passed a
bill appropriating $250,000 for similar
purposes in normal schools Both of
these measures will come up in the
senate.
Unique Socialist Argument
The assembly by a vote of At to Al
killed a bill approprating $90,700 for
the erection o. a wing to the chem
istry building at the university. The
latter bill was defeated through Op-
position of socialists, who claimed
that they favored education but that
this bill was for building the educa-
tional system from the top down in
stead of from the bottom up.
The senate concurred in a bill,
which now goes to the governor ap-
propriating $4,000 for completion of
the womens industrial home at Tay-
cheeday Fond du Lac county.
Hospital at the University
The joint finance committee recon-
mended bill appropriating over a
million dollars for erection of state
HOSPITAL to be operated in conjunction
with the four year medical course at
the university. The hospital will be
built from excess moneys levied un-
der the soldiers cash bonus law.

INFANT DEATHS
IN WISCONSIN
SHOW DECREASE
Birth Statistics Show 60,S67 Born
During 1918; Mortalit Is 70
Per 1000 Babies

The bureau of the census at Wash
ington has announced birth statistics
and infant lno.t9 .ity for the birth
registration area for 1918, crediting
Wisconsin with 60,867 births in that
period. The gain is shown by the fol
lowing comparison: 1915, 58,Ol4;
1916, 59,459; 1917, 59,013.
The real significance of the figures
lies in the fact that Wisconsin has
an exceptionally small ratio OF in
FAINT deaths. There were only rs
deaths under year per 1000 births
a record bettered only by Utah with
GA, Washington, SO, and Minnesota, a
In the registration area as whole
comprising 20 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia or about 5S per
cent of the total population), 101 out
of every 1000 children born died in
that year.
In the birth registration area l.,
363,649 infants were born alive in
1918, representing birth rate oil
24.4 per 1000 population. The total
deaths in the same period were l.
014,62O, or 18.2per thousand. The
births exceeded the deaths by 34.4
per cent. In 1917 of every II in,
fants born alive one died before
reaching the age of 1 year, whereas
the ratio in 1918 was about one in
10.

a reason for the poor muskie fishing

the fish show little spirit until the

the old ones.
The time of dropping teeth varies
