Two More Wisconsin Towns Added
to Big Wisconsin River Dam

A new Transmission line has just
been completed. between Omro and
Ripon. This line enables several
localities in Winnebago county, in
cluding both Omro and Eureka to
utilize river power harnessed at Prai-
rie du Sac by the Wisconsin River
Power Company.
Another large dynamo has been
installed at the dam but so great is
the demand for power from numer-
GUS localities that the Company finds
it almost impossible to keep pace
with these abnormal requests for
service

Ontario as much as II does the
ranchers of the county.
Neither the retail merchants of
the city, the land owner from whom
they rent, the automobile shop, nor
anyone else here can make any
money, enjoy any real prosperity or
happiness with the ranchers going
broke.
And, aside from the Farm Blu

Agent, we know OF no agency that

ROAD WORK NOT WANTED?

Apparently the people OF Malheur
County have turned their backs up
on constructive road work. They
do not want to participate in the
distribution OF State Funds to which
they contribute but are content to
pay into the fund and let other
countries take out the share that
should come to this county.
That is the only conclusion that
The Argus can reach from the re-
sponses that have been received
from the ballot printed in last
weeks issue.
so far only a small number OF
ballots have been received but by
a small majority they have been OPP
posed to doing anything toward get
ting the road from Cairo west Inn
proved. Several OF those who re-
sponded In favor OF going after the
500. 900 OF state funds, qualified
their answer thus:
GO after the money II II can be
arranged that only residents OF NAL
heur county can be employed on the
work"
Others said Yes, so after the
state funds, but do not issue any
more bonds. So few have been the
returns that the Argus Is convinced
that the people don't care, whether
anything Is done or not. Even mer-
chants whose very business ls de-
pendent upon the condition OF the
highways have not taken enough
time to cast n ballot or indicate
that they want anything done.
II looks like a hopeless case.
But next winter. when the rains and
snow make the road impassable.
then we will hear OF oomplainants,
and people will come In and con-
denim everyone but themselves, for
the condition In which the road will
be.

A PERNlcIoUS PENSION PLAN

IF THE municipal employees pension fund
were made up entirely from contributions
from the employees themselves there would be
little objection to Representative Dunn s
proposed amendment to the law intended to
permit the retirement of employees on pension
at the age of fifty five years instead of at
sixty as at present.
But the pension fund is made up largely
by an appropriation of public money. II Mr.
Dunn 5 amendment should be adopted man

could retire at II comparatively youthful age
and receive for the rest of his life n pension
Of half Of his salary not to exceed total Of
$500, and more than one half of this pen
sion would he paid by the taxpayers
No objection can be raised to pensionng
n city employe at fifty five if he is inCapaci-
tated, but to retire an able bodied man at
that age and pay him tho per cent on
500 600 for the remainder of his natural life
is n little more than public sentiment will
stand for
The school teachers. who arc paid at as
low a rate as the employees of the municipal
government are not retired before they arc
sixty-fvc or seventy years old. They arc
expected to work as long as they arc eff
cicnt. Then they are taken care of by a
pension \ similar rule should apply in the
other branches Of the public service.
