BUSH" is A
REMARK ABLE PLANT

The Burning Bush" which is known
to botanists as the Dictamnus fraxi
nelia, is regarded as one of the most
wonderful plants in the world. This
plant is native to western Asia,
though it is now found in some gar
dens of the temperao oe zone. In con-
nection with the Dictamnus it is rather
remarkable that the species is common
where the incident of Moses and the
Burning Bush is said to have occurred.

Both houses of the legislature are
marking time waiting for Governor
Blaine to settle on the big important

recall the Legislature for the purpose
of proposing additional tax measures.
This, however, will not be known for
a few days.

Compensation Law Changes Pending

Compensation Law Changes Pending
Many important changes in the
workmen's compensation law of the
state are now pending for considera-
ton before the Wisconsin legislature
The assembly has passed the Sachtjen
bill for increasing the amount of COM
pensatiOD. This bill proposes to In
crease the maximum weekly wage
basis from $3.50 to $50 per week
The maximum compensation payable
would thereby be Increased from
S14.63 to $3.50 a week The change
would increase the cost under com
pensation law by 10 per cent. The
bill has been passed by the assembly
but has not yet been acted upon by
the senate. The assembly killed the
Schafer bill which makes it COM
pulsOry for an employer to maintain
a reasonable panel of physicians from
which an employee may select a doc
tor In case Of injury. The senate
passed a bill changing the waiting pc
riod Under the present law the wait
ing perion is seven days but If the
injury extends beyond four weeks
compensation is payable from the day
of injury. This bill provides that, if
the disability extends beyond three
weeks, compensation is payable from
date of injury Another bill pending
in the assembly proposes to eliminate
the waiting period entirely. If the
legislature should pass this bill, Wis
cOnsin would have the only compensa-
ton law in the country with no wait
| ing period. The insurance men esti-
mate that the billt will increase the
cost of compensation at least IL per
cent.

There was rejoicing in England at
the news that the great strike of Brit
ish coal miners had been ended and
that the men would return to the
pits on July 4. The government
grants a subsidy of ten million pounds
to avert the hardships of the next
three months due to wage reductions.
By the terms of the settlement new
wage basis will come into effect for
the next eighteen months whereby the
miners receive 20 per cent above the
pre-War scale of wages, with an ad-
ditional share Of profits, which will
be regulated by the creation of ma
tional board and district boards. The
strike thus ended lasted "a days and
is considered the most injurious Eng
land ever suffered, because it crippled
SO many Industries and affected all
classes Of the population.

f1ict while the Greeks were withdraw

patches indicated that Constantine had
good grounds for his apprehension.
The allied troops in Constantinople
were called into action to forestall a
vast uprising planned by the Turks
and the Bolsheviki, which was to be
accompanied by the destruction of pub
lie buildings. The Bolshevik head
quarters were raided, quantities of
weapons seized and several ringlead-
ers arrested.

ments which were to have terminated
last Friday. The overtime order is
not final, however. 1t was hoped that
the railroads and employees would
soon reach agreements relating to
rules and working conditions. Rail
union leaders to the number of more
than a thousand met in Chicago to
decide whether the employees should
accept the wage cut and to try to
avert a tie-up in the country's trans
pOrtatiOn facilities.
IN the Chicago district it appeared
the efforts of Judge Lands as arbi
traitor would result in the ending of
the controversy that has tied up all
building operations for a long time.
The carpenters were the last to yield.

President Harding, anxious to have
the controversy over the naval hOli-
day" plan ended, wrote to Congress
man Mondell a letter saying that he
was vastly more concerned with the
attitude of the congress on this ques-
tion than l am as to the form of ex-
pressing that attitude" When this let
ter was read to the house, Mr.. Mondell
and all the others who had wanted
the disarmament proposal to include
land forces gave in and agreed
to accept the Borah amendment
to the naval appropriation bill
That is, all but four gave in.
The only negative votes were
cast by Representatives Moore, Indi-
ana, Republican; and Campbell, Penn
sylyania Carew, New York, and o.
Brien, New Jersey, all Democrats
Representative Linberger, California,
Republican, voted present.

tapioca flour, tea, tin ore, works OF

Despite the fact that the new tariff
will produce huge revenue, the need
of reducing government expenditures
is as pressing as ever, and President
Harding and Director of the Budget
Dawes seem determined to bring about
that result. They met last week with
the cabinet and the heads of all the
bureauS-the first meeting of the kind
ever held-and had a heart to heart
talk on means to meet the emergency
Mr.. Harding quickly gave the floor
to Mr.. Dawes and that vigorous Chi
cagoan told the gathering in plain
language what lie p AIMED to do and
what the others must do to help him.
Then he added:
THE permanent success of the bud
get system depends upon certain basic
principles, which at it's inception must
be so firmly established both as to
concept and rules Of action, that they
never hereafter will be questioned.
THE budget bureau must be inn
partial, impersonal, and nonpolitical"
In concluding, he ordered the bureau
chiefs to their feet and, holding up his
hand, recited the following pledge, ad-
dressed to the President:
These men, of whom I am one,
realize the perpleXity of your position,
realize that the business of the coun-
try is PROSTATE, that its working men
are out of employment, that we are
faced with ineXorable necessity of re-
ducing expenditures, and we propose,
just as we did four years ago to win
the war, to try to do it. And that's all
we can do"

Lloyd Georges effort to arrive at a
friendly solution of the Irish trouble
by inviting De Valera and an assOci-
ate to confer in London with him and
with Sir James Craig, premier of Ul-
ster, appears to have failed as have
all other attempts to settle the row.
Craig agreed to the conference, but De
Valera has baked. At first the Irish
president" wrote to Lloyd George a
temporiZing letter, and invited Craig
to meet him in Dublin for an exchange
of views. Craig declined, and De
Valera wrote him: "Mr. Lloyd
Georges proposal, because Of it's i'm
plicatiOns, is impossible of acceptance
in its present form. Irish political
differences should be adjusted and
can, I believe, be adjusted on Irish
soil. 1t is obvious that in negotiating
peace with Great Britain the Irish del
egatiOn ought not to be divided, but
should act as a unit ON some common
principle
A London newspaper says the au-
thorities have discovered and frus-
trated a plot to murder the British
cabinet ministers. 1t says the police
are seeking three men sent to Lon
don to do the assassinating. They
are a French medical student, an Irish
man from the western part of the
United States and a Spaniard. The
same paper declares the forces of fhe
Royal Irish cOnstabulary are to be
quadrupled at once.

In the death roll Of the week ap-
pear two notable names. Charles J.
Bonaparte, eminent citizen Of Balti-
more and cabinet member during the
Roosevelt administration, died at his
country home. He was grandnephew
of the. great Napoleon. Lady Ran
dolph Churchill, who was Jennie
Jerome of New York, passed away
as the result of injuries received last
May. Probably no other American
woman has had SO great an influence
on British public affairs. She was
famous as a writer and a wit.

Notwithstanding the impassioned
protests of many congressman and the
earnest arguments of many physicians,
the house last week passed the So
called Willis-Campbell bill designed to
fOrestall the execution of a regulation
providing for the prescription of beer
and light wines as medicine held by
former Attorney General Palmer to
be within the law. The vote was 25O
to 90. The measure is now in the
hands of the senate, and Senator
Broussard Of Louisiana already has
delivered a red-hot speech against it.
Of the appointment of former Pres
ident Taft TO be chief justice of the
Supreme court of the United States
there is little to be said that has not
already been said in anticipation Mr.
Taft's fitness for the high position is
unquestioned and the selection will
meet with practically unanimous ap-
proval.
