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 ]. Blaine signed the
market division bin which established
a new state department, the 'sWiscon-
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
a 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
ket and trade information relative to
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 10 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.

supreme count peclslons.


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 standpoint of public
policy, this is the most important de-
cision announced by the court this
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 $306,0O0, and in all of the policies
his wife was named beneficiary. All
We're ordinary life policies. Five ag-
gregatlng $236,000 were taken out In
1905. The premiums on those amount
ed to $I42,67460. 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 8 city purchases a public util-
ity and bonds shat utility for the pur-
chase price that this does not consti-
tute an Indebtedness under the 8 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 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 .ae
court found In so following the pro-
visions of the law that such a proceed
ure would not constitute municipal
| Indebtedness.

Barron-The haying season in this
part of the state is practically COM
pleted and farmers report the highest
crop in many years. On most farms
the crop was about half that of nor
NAL yield. 1t is believed that many
farmers viii be compelled to sell cat
tie because of the limited hay supply
this year. The light crop is attributed
chiefly to the long dry spell, and to
the light snowfall last winter, when
the grass was killed as result of
poor protection from the cold.
