Rate Fight Up to Congress.

Failure of the United States SUI
preme court to hand down decision
in the Wisconsin test case to decide
whether or not the interstate COM
merce commission has power to regu-
late railroad rates within the state
means that the point cannot be set
tied before October 10, the next de-
cision day. Immediately it became
known that the Supreme court had
failed to act according to Washington
dispatches, a movement was started
by y isconsin and the states which
supported her to have congress pass
law clearly defining the matter.
While no direct action was taken by
the Wisconsin railroad commission,
according to Chairman Carl Jackson,
the state board is a member of the as
sociation of railroad commissions
formed to test the power of the fed
eral board to fix intrastate rates. It's
committee in Washington would have
authority to take the matter up with
| congress, said Mr.. Jackson. or enc Of
the senators from the states involved
might act. The first gun in the re-
newed fight in congress was fired when
Representative Sweet, Iowa, intro
duced d bill repeating the section Of
| the Esch-Cummins transportation
act which gives the interstate COM
merce commission power to fix rates
high enough to give railroads a 515
per cent return on The investment.
The measure also would take from
the federal board power to regulate
intrastate rates and return 1t to the
state authorities

To Drop Reapportionment Plan.

Reapportionment of congressional
districts will not be attempted at this
session of the legislature. This de-
cision was reached by the reappor-
tionment committee after Chairman
Claire b. Bird had received a tele-
gram from Congressman James A.
Frear, stating 1t was impossible to
predict what congress would do rela-
tive to increasing it's membership
"We have decided againsts attempt
ing reapportionment, said Chairman
Bird, because we could not guesr
what congress will do. If congress-
acts before the session is over. the
committee may undertake. to redis-
trict the state.' Congressman Frear
wired on behalf of eight members OF
the IL representing Wisconsin In con.
gress. The delegation was not In
favor of immediate action on reappor-

This bill will permit the establishment

thousands of students will be able TO

rate of taxation on gas, electric rail
way, Light, heat and power utilities for
1921 is increased more than IL per
cent. The rate determined upon for.
1921 is S21.06 per $1,000. Assessments
on these public utilities wifi be taken

Tbree states Fight Old Boundaries. y

Three States Fight Old Boundaries.
Michigan is threatening To que Wis
consin to obtain possession Of Hurley,
the ''richest village, In the world, and
$50 square miles of Wisconsin terri
tory. Illinois and Wisconsin are In
dispute over their boundary line. The
upper peninsula of Michigan wants to
secede and form new state of SUI
perior, while Wisconsin hopes to annex
the rich peninsula country to herself.
And a mapmaker's error In the year
1865 is responsible for all the trouble,
according to Reuben G. Thwaites, sec
rotary of the State Historical society
of Wisconsin. The mapmaker, man
named Mitchell, made the mistake Of
charting the foot of Lake Michigan In
latitude AZ degrees and 20 minutes in
stead of latitude Al degrees and 81
minutes. The error of less than one
degree, according to Mr.. Thwaites, was
responsible for the toledo war" be-
tween Ohio and Michigan, for the
placing of Chicago and its rich North
shore suburbs in Illinois instead of
Wisconsin, the annexation of the up
per peninsula to Michigan, and all the
boundary disputes that have grown
out of these events. Subsequent map
makers and surveyors who followed In
Mitchell's footsteps made one or two
other mistakes, which contributed to
the general confusion When the con-
gress of the thirteen states, i'm session
at Philadelphia. July Is, 1877, adopted
an ordinance for the government of
the Northwest territory, embracing the
present states of Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois and Michigan. Mitchell's map was
used as guide. The ordinance pro-
vided that two of the five states should
lie north of an east and west line
drawn through the southern bend or
extreme of Lake Michigan" The pre-
amble of the ordinance stated that it's
articles should forever remain IN
alterahle unless by common consent"

Organized women's clubs oyer the
state are pouring in upon the legisla-
ture petitions and letters demanding
passage Of bin which will strike
from the statutes all restrictions be-
cause of sex.
The measure passed the senate after
1t had been amended to remove the
provision giving women freedom of
contract" The assembly is being
urged by the women TO put the clause
back and pass the bill. The lower
house has killed one bill which gave
women the right to serve on juries.
The measure now before them con-
tains that provision.
For three days the senate clock has
been exactly 16 minutes slow.
Yet not wall of protest was heard
from a member of the upper house
until Senator Henry Roethe, veteran
legislator and editor of the Fennimore
Times, suddenly disturbed the quiet
and calm of the chamber by declar-
ing:
'Hey, sergeant, you ought to fix
that clock. The senate is slow enough,
without a slow clock"

The government of Wisconsin for
the 1928 bienium will cost S45,587,

coed that figure by at least $1,000,090.
With the state thus living within its
income the finance committee report
ed for indefinite postponement all tax
levies. There were four tax bills, two
surtax measures and two increased in

of these Intermediates, one line of
treatment will produce drugs, another
high explosives, another poison gases,
still other perfumes, food fiavors and
Photographic materials. Some have
varying peace and war time uses with
out further treatment. 1t should be
noted that some of these crudes re-
quire as many as fifteen manipulations
to produce given compound and in
each manipulation by-product is
produced which again must be made
into something useful in order to avoid
waste.
1t is because of this treatment and
retreatment of coal, crudes and inter-
mediates that it is SO easy to convert a
dye plant into factory for the pro-
duction of high explosives or poison
Gus gases almost over night.
Germany was indeed farsighted,
back in 1889, when she took advantage
of Perkins discovery, and began the
development of gigantic dye industry
SO that she might never be without the
crudes and intermediates so essential
to success in war or peace.
Germany developed the synthetic
dye industry, just as she developed
other industries, to create employment
and wealth for her millions. But
through tneSe oeVeiopmentS she learn
ed the value Of chemistry, of chemicals,
and of chemists themselves. She real
lied early how dependent her peace
development was on chemistry and
she soon saw the value of chemical in
dustries to war. Germany saw that
the manufacture of dyes required much
chemical research and also that dye
making made use of the waste prod
usts from the coke ovens, themselves
"a necessity to her iron and steel in
dustry. She saw its value in the pro-
duction of explosives, gases and; fer
tilizers for her fields. This foresight
gave Germany a forty year start on
the United States, and the rest of the
world. ~

American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders
Which Ancient Chemists Strived for by the
Utilization of Coal Tar By-Products
(ToId In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. w
THE ALCHEMIST'S DREAM

Through the literature of the an
clients runs the absorbing story OF the
alchemist's patient search for the
touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alche-
mist, driven from cellar to garnet and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge of chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that it could be made to per-
form wonders.
1t was Ben Jonson's alchemist,
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned ito change all
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy their
tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for
all the copper And more than that,
by means of this magic elixir, in eight
and twenty days he. planned to trans
form an old man of four score into a
prattling child.
Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels.
The philosophers stone still is an un-
known quantity to science, buried, per-
haps, with the pot of gold at the rain
bows end, and the elixir of youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-off day
when De Soto set forth SO bravely
from Spain to find it in the new world.
But chemistry has accomplished won
ders by the utilization of coal tar by
products which contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take the
fairy glass of the chemist and look in
to this rather uninteresting substance
coal
We put a kettle of it over FIRE and
we see leaving at various times what
the chemist calls the Crudes-benzone,
toluene, xy1ene, napthalene, phenol,
anthracene, carbazol, and some others.
But these are the most important.
