Warns of Summer Camp Dangers.

warns OF SumfneT OdHP OdH9cTS.
Poor sanitation in the summer
camps Of Wisconsin is condition
which should be attended to at once"
said DR.. George c. Rutland, health
commissioners of Milwaukee. Thou
sands of tourists and campers from
all parts of the country have pitched
tents or are living in cottages on the
banks of many lakes throughout Wis
consin, and few of these camps are
supplied with proper drinking water
or sewage disposal" Doctor Rutland
stated. Typhoid fever increases in
the fall" said Doctor Rutland, land
it is during this time that the camp
ers are most abundant in the lake
regions and when precautions should
be taken to guard against typhoid fe-
yer contracted through poor drinking
water or sewage disposal. Although the
state has made adequate arrangements
in designating the timber that shall be
used as firewood, just where the camp
must be pitched, and has provided men
to see that the game and fish laws are
enforced, there seems to be little at
tention paid to the general surround
ings of the camps in regard to sanir
tation."

Though the French declare the Leip
zig trials of alleged war criminals are
farcical, and have withdrawn from the
commissions watching the proceedings,
the trials are going on, and last week
there was revived interest because two
German lieutenants were arraigned
charged with submarine frightfulness,
They commanded the U-boat that sang
the British hospital ship Landovery
Castle, and are accused of attempting
to murder the entire personnel of the
vessel including the wounded and the
Red Cross nurses. after they realized
their mistake in sinking the ship. The
defendants refused to. testify, but
members of the crew told how it vas
decided to hide all traces of the crime
and how the overcrowded lifeboats
were shelled and sunk. The
court then surprised the allied watch
ers by calling a dozen Germans who
testified to alleged British atrocities
at sea, and made the charge that the
steamship Baralong flew the American
flag when 1t sunk the German subma-
rine U-31. Some of them swore the
British used lifeboats as decoys ard
carried troops and munitions aboard
hospital ships. All of this was in
tended to justify the acts of :he sub,
marine commanders.

New Market Law Now in Force.


Industry, mining and agriculture in
the state became subject to far-reach-
ing and restrictive regulatory powers
when Gov. John J. Blaine signed the
market division bill which established
new state department, the "Wiscon-
sin marketing commission" which has
powerful trade commission authority.
The new department is distinctly
different from the old marketing divi-
sion. 1T is separate department with
commissioner in complete charge.
The counsel of the department is
made an assistant attorney general,
under the jurisdiction of the market
ing director and not under the attor-
.ney general. The new law has nine
substantive powers: Furnishing mar
price, supply, demand and profits; as
sisting cooperative associations; as
sisting public markets; standardizing
of food products and receptacles ;
adoption of Wisconsin brands; pro-
hibiting of unfair methods and COM
petition and unfair trade practices !;
power to enjoin the 'waste in market
ing of food" emergency power to re-
lieve scarcity of food and coal; coun-
sci as assistant attorney general. The
law gives to the department impor-
tant subpoena powers and provides
severe penalties for failure to obey.
Sworn statements can be demanded,
as well as written reports. in the SCI
curing of testimony.

Opinion on Lottery Schemes.

Opinion on Lottery Schemes.
Attorney General Morgan in an
opinion declared that many schemes
which were used by Wisconsin organ
izations to raise money through sale
of tickets which gave the owners
chances to capital prizes are lotteries
and are operating in violation of the
state statute. The opinion was given
in the case of the railroad telegra-
piers at Appleton. They planned to
give a bah and entertainment, tickets
of which provide for giving away Of
the Appleton Junction hotel and real
estate valued at $4,000.

Supreme Court Decisions.

Insurance payments to beneficiary
are taxable under the state inheri-
lance tax law, according to sweeping
decision of the state Supreme court
in the case of the estate of Charles
Allis, Milwaukee, against the state.
Taken from a standpoint of public
policy, this is the most important de-
year. 1t will ultimately result In the
bringing of millions of dollars into the
state treasury. At the time of the
death of Charles Allis, there were in
force policies upon his life aggregat-
ing 100000, and in all of the policies
his wife was named beneficiary. All
were ordinary life policies. Five ag-
gregating $4,000 were taken out in
1908. The premiums on those amount
ed to $142,674.60. The County court
held that no inheritance tax was due,
and the state appealed. OF almost
equal Importance was the decision of
the Supreme court in the case of the
city of Portage against the state. This
decision sustains the validity of the
Nye law, enacted at the 1917 session
of the legislature, which holds that,
where city purchases public util-
ity and bonds that utility for the pur-
chase price that this does not consti-
tute an indebtedness under the per
cent constitutional limit. The deci-
sion in this case is of sweeping impor-
lance to advocates of public owner
ship. In many cities of the state it
has been impossible for the community
to buy utilities under the 5 per cent
limit. The decision sustaining the
Nye law points new way for the
purchase of these utilities. Cities that
purchase utilities under the Nye act
are required to keep separate accounts
for earnings and depreciations and the
court found in so following thes pro
visions of the law that such a proceed
ure would not constitute municipal
Indebtedness.

the nationalists would welcome arbi-
tration by Secretary of State Hughes
or some other American.
There was report that White Rus
sian volunteers, well armed, were re-
lines and that the Polish irregulars I'M
der General Zeligowski were attack
ing them with armored automobiles.
In the Wilma district, it was said;
the entire peasant population was in
revolt against Zeligowski's rule, and
forces.
Backing up the statements of Sec.
rotary of the Treasury Mellon, Press4
dent Harding went before the senate
and urged that action on the soldier
bonus bill be deferred indefinitely.
The reasons given by both the Prad-
| dent and the secretary were purely
financial, and both of them declared
| in effect that If the bill were passed
4
the financial stability of the country
would be imperiled.
Il know the feelings of my own
breast and that of yours and the grat&-
| full people of this republic" the Presi.
dent said. "But no thoughtful person
| for added compensation for t.le
| healthy, self-reliant masses of olir
great armies at the cost of a treas
ury breakdown, which will bring iis
hardships to all the citizens Of the r,r
public"
AT the same time the President de-
clared himself most emphatically in fat
vor of the fullest measure of RELIEF
/ to the disabled veterans of the Word
war. He asked that the bonus bill be
| recommitted to the finance comrGit-
tee, and suggested that congress con-
| centrate on tax and tariff revision,
especially the former. He told the
senate that there is confessed dsap-
pointment that so little progress has
been made in the readjustment and re,
duction of the wartime taxes"
/ The Democratic senators began a
fierce fight against the motion to re-
commit the bonus bill, Senator Rob-
| inson of Arkansas assuming the lead
ership because Senator Underwood is
opposed to the bonus. However, it
was taken for granted that the motion
would prevail.
The Sweet bill, providing for ade-
| quate relief for disabled veterans and
for the consolidation Of relief aaen-
cies was favorably reported by The
subcommittee to the senate finan &c
committee, but its progress was halt
ed again when the senators heard MI.
Shoots prediction, based on official
estimates, that the probable increa;te
of expenditure to carry out the prt-
visions of the measure would be close
to $500,0O0,000 annually.
