Advice to business men by Assembly en-.
Perry, Oshkosh, is keep your eyes on Madison
and do not go to sleep on the job" That was his
statement in an informal talk before the Rotary
club here.
The legislature this year is divided into two
groups "he said which are referred to as the
BoIshevsts and the representatives of the people.
More properly they should be defined radicals
and conservatives. In former years the line Of de-
narration was clear. There were is Socialists and
Democrats in the last legislature. The remain
der were Republicans.
This year there only Socialists, but
there are some 33 so-caed Republicans who caucus
on every measure and vote as unit. The con-
servatives have margin of five or six, but one
can never tell what fate bill will meet until the
votes are counted. measure is in danger up to
the last minute.
"A group Of some Is or 80 women and an equal
number of men, LaFolette supporters have come
to Madison and they corra1 one man at time and
try to swing him over
1t is the duty Of the business men to make
themselves heard. In used to be considered bad
form for business men to appear before the legis-
ature but that has changed. Milwaukee Journal.

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1921

Some legislator, we forget the name, and it
doesn't matter proposes passing bill giving coun-
ty boards authority to pay their member of assem-
bly, bonus to offset the present ridiculously low
salary. They should at least get twice what they
are, and no county will ever be able to get
it's best men to sacrifice their time to help make
wise and just laws for it while the pay does not be-
gin to clear them of the expense of staying in
Madison. The plan suggested is no solution of the
problem and it is doubtful if many counties would
approved Let every county be obliged to provide
decent pay for it's assemblymen and they will
soon get different caliber Of statesmen.

1.-The president having in the re-

clared the American policy, his COM
missioned representatives were bound
to acquiesce in his decision whatever
their personal views were. Acquies-
cence or resignation was the choice"
.'I think. that 1t is not unjust to say
that President Wilson was stronger in
his hatred than in his friendships. He
seemed to lack the ability to forgive
one who had in any way offended him
or opposed him.
THE time given to the formulation
Of the covenant of the league of ma
tons and the determination that it
should have first place in the negotia-
tions caused such a delay in the pro-
ceedings and prevented speedy re-
storation of peace. Denial of this is
useless. 1t is too manifest to require
proof or argument to support it,"
cit is fair to assume that he had
no program prepared and was unwill-
ing to have any one else make ten
tative one for his consideration. 1t
