Coal Men Indicted

The grand jury at Indianapolis has
indicted 226 coal operators and coal
miners on five counts: The indict-
ment charges in the first count re-
straint of trade; in the second, re-
straint of commerce; in the third, re-
straint of trade and commerce; in the
fourth, conspiracy to monopolize; and,
fifth, monopolizing
The indictment covers the last three
years and goes into a detailed history
of the bituminous coal industry and of
the methods by which, it is charged,
the operators and miners have worked
together to restrict the production and
distribution of bituminOus coal.
The charge is made that at various
joint conferences held in the last ten
years it was agreed by the miners and
operators that in mining, producing
and distributing coal they would aid
one another in plans to increase wages
increase prices, to create a shortage
and to otherwise limit production and
distribution.
Nice isn't it, The ultimate consum-
er either freezes or goes bankrupt
buying "black diamonds" while the
coal barons and the miners juggle the
law of supply and demand, and milk
US to a FRAGILE. Even our own gov
eminent paid four times as much for
coal last year as should have been
asked

VIROOIIA CIRCI1IT

Have l given the country church the
square deal? The answer must come
from the majority, No | have gone to
town. However, this is the question
that must be answered by the people
living in every rural community.
There is no other institution that is
struggling for support and life, and
for this reason alone. The church in
the country is supported by only a
few faithful men and women, and the
largest attendance is a mid-wek day.
Today every farm is equipped with
modern machinery, systematic farm
ing, testing of soil and seed and i'm
proved stock of the most thorough
bred kind. And yet they permit the
country church to become vacant, die
and decay. And presents to the COM
munity a great need. We have a So
luton for this question The Rural
Community Center Work. 1t has
proved success in other places II
will prove a success in this community
if properly organized We must move
along in this progressive age, or be
showed under. We invite you to come
and hear what is being considered in
the minds of the people This Rural
Community Work includes Religious
social, educational, agriculture, and
highway improvements. Are you in
terested in these? If so come and
help us in the promotion of this great
need. Our services are open to all.
Don't forget our Sunday school 1t
is growing at Liberty Pole; the same
can be said of Springville and Bishop
| Branch.

WILL WORK FOR MORE BRIDGES
State Highway Commission to Pre-
sent the Matter to Legislature

The Censor editor receives the fol-
lowing communication from the State
Highway Commission:
Il have yours of the 9th instant, rel
alive to proposed bridge across the
Mississippi River at Lansing. The
Commission is calling attention in its
preliminary biennial report, which will
soon be furnished the legislature, to
the necessity of more adequate treat
ment of the bridge situation across
the Mississippi river.
1--WE are going to urge upon the
Legislature the necessity of providing
some statute under which it would be
possible to finance the construction of
large bridges across the Mississippi,
Wisconsin and Chippewa Rivers, and
others of similar size. There is GER
tainly need for bridges across the Mis-
sisippi at Prairie du Chen, at or near
the vicinity of DeSoto, and Wabasha
or Alma. We are going TO use all of
the influence we have with the legis-
lature to solve this very pressing mat
ter. You are probably aware of the
fact that it is unconstitutional for the
legislature to make an appropriation
for a specific situation. Il must be a
general statute covering all cases of
IA similar nature. This, then, is the
thing that should be urged, and later
the specific instances can be treated
AS they come up"

oil WILL SOLVE PROBLEM
YEARLY OILING WILL MAKE
GOOD ROADS ALL YEAR
Cost of Small Piece of Permanent
Road Would Oil Whole Road
System

A chain is as strong as its weakest
link. A road is as good as its poorest
part The logical thing then It seems
is to fix the poorest stretches of road
first. All will admit that the thing
most desired about the roads is to
have as many miles of roads in pass
able condition as much of the year as
possible. This will serve the most
country and give the greatest salts
faction to the largest share of our
people
The Censor man is no expert on
road building, but he does believe
there is but one solution to the good
roads problem so far as the present
generation is concerned. That's OIL.
We believe that every foot of our state
and county patrol roads could be grad
ed. culverted, dragged and oiled at
no more than the cost of building a
mile of any permanent road. Oil these
roads heavily oncega year for several
lyears to secure penetration of four
or five inches and you get almost the
equivalent Of a pavement-a road
which is m errious to water and does
not break lp IN the spring. There is
no road so good as a dirt road when
it is smooth and velvety-easy on
horses hoofs and auto tires, and de-
light to ride over.
The very best piece of road the city
Iif Viroqua has ever had was North
Main street the year it was oiled We
remember that in the midst of a week
of daily rains, Gollmar's c;rc;:s arrived
and their two-tOu circus wagons
didn't even dent that road.
Highway Commissioner Ristow has
advocated the oiled road since 1918.
Chairman Dolen is convinced the oiled
road is the thing, and no doubt the
county board will be asked to appro-
pirate for this work next fall. Talk
up the oiled road! It's the only way
we can get good roads quickly and at
moderate cost. The Censor is not
opposed to permanent road building;
We want to see considerable mileage
of fairly good roads provided for first
Then if any funds remain, build per-
lmanently.

Having Displaced Horse, Ford Now
Turns TO Cows

The farmer will see the day when
both the horse and cow are done away
WITH" said Henry Ford, in a recent
special interview to the New York Tri-
bune. "The horse viii go because OF
the concentrated energy of automo-
biles and tractors. 1t is a simple mat
ter to take the same cereals that the
cows eat and make them into milk
which is superior 70 the natural arti-
Gle and much cleaner. The COW is the
|crudest machine in the world. Our la
boratories have already demonstrated
that cows milk can be done away with
and that, by the concentration Of ele-
ments, milk can be manufactured into
scientific food by machines far clean
er than cows and not subject to tuber-
culosis."
"But what about the meat which the
COW also provides ?" he was asked.
Meat is not essential" he declared
"A scientific food, rHch as / have de-
scribed, will not only take the place
of milk, but meat. AS for the r Sc,
he is a 1,200-pound hay mot Of

WE SHOULD SPEND MORE
WISCONSIN LAGS ON HELP FOR
ITS COMMON SCHOOLS
Neighbor States Distribute Large
School Funds

1t is said that bill to increase the
state tax for the common schools will
be introduced in the present session of
the legislature. The governors forth
coming message on education may
take up this matter.
Neighbor states pay more in state
aid" for common schools, in proportion
to their wealth and population, than
does Wisconsin. The idea of state
aid" is that when the state as q whole
pays a good sized portion of the cost
of running schools, the poorer districts
are enabled to have good schools which
they could not afford if the taxes had
all to be raised locally. Education is
one of those necessities which every
child has right to, no matter wheth-
er he was born in a wealthy or a poor
Carter Alexander, the Assistant
State Superintendent of Schools, fur
nishes the following figures:

COMMON SCHOOLS-1919-1920

Michigan ................. 9,345,0OU
ONO ................ 10 ,2S4 ,OOU
Minnesota .,............ 6,376, 600
The money is raised by a mill tax
of from seven tenths of mill in Wis
consin to six mills in Indiana.
The method of distributing state
money to schools is even more import
ant than the amount of the tax. Mon
ey distributed in proportion to the
school census does not tend to improve
the schools. Certain conditions are i'm
posed in order to bring all schools up
to high level.
In Wisconsin and Indiana, school
must keep open a certain number of
months and pay teachers a definite
minimum salary.
In Minnesota, the Educational Com
mission recommends that state aid be
distributed thus:
One-third to all schools on basis of
number of children attending school
for sixty days in preceding year.
0ne-sixth to establish minimum
standards.
0ne-ffth for special aid, transpor-
tation of children, buildings, school IL
braries, salaries of rural supervisors.
0ne-twentieth to assist schools in
districts where thetax payers are more
than ordinarily burdened.
Remainder to stimulate new work
and improve methods, such as physi-
cal training, health supervisors, and
community service.-The School Bell

of having been implicated in the holdup
of the First National Bank at Pearl
River. n. y, Thursday. when two en-
ployes of the bank were killed and q
railroad watchman who went to their
aid was wounded The prisoners gave

him as packages blinded Mrs. Dwyer.
Omar and Mrs. Dwyer collded in the

MERCHANTS AIMING
AT REAL HOME RULE
Association Urges Removal OF
Borough Presidents From
Estimate Board.

Complete home rule for New York
city is advocated by the Merchants AS
sociation through a special committee
on charter revision which has just pre-
sented preliminary report to the COM
mission headed by former Justice Fran
els NJ. Scott
The association would have the new
charter confined to a broad grant or
powers to the city, leaving all details
OF government to the city itself, sub
ject only to the limitations of the State
Constitution and the exercise by the
State of its necessary powers. 1t would
limit the power Of the Legislature to
amend the Charter except at stated in
tervals.
Il is recommended that all admin
istrative officers who spend money
should be removed from the appropriate
ing body or the Board of Estimate. The
report suggests that new representa-
tives of each borough be provid ed TO
sit in the Board of Estimate and the
Borough Presidents be left to carry
on their administrative functions.
The Merchants Association commit
tee, which began the Charter study in
May, Is composed of William c. Breed
Henry Ives Cobb. Gilbert II. Montague.
Louis II. Porter. Robert L. Simon
Laurence Arnold Tanner. A. c. Wasser-
mann. former Governor Whitman and
William r. Wilcox. A. c. McNulty,
who assisted in the preparation of the
WINS Charter, was engaged as counsel
and assisted in gathering preliminary
material. which it is believed will be
of great value to the Scott commission.
The report, in the form of printed
pamphlet, which may be obtained from
the association, contains the following
information
Origin. reenactment and attempts at
revision of the Greater New York Char
ter.

HOTEL MEN DENY COMBINE
KEEPS UP PRODUCE PRICES
10 Not Believe Wholesaler Is Charging Too Much
Daughertys List Showing Up Gougers Is
Expected to Be Out Soon.

While expressing approval of the pro-
posed investigation by the Department Of
Justice into the prices OF food. fuel and
clothing, prominent hotel and restaurant
mtn OF the city denied yesterday any
knowledge of the alleged combination
OF wholesale produce merchants that
Joseph Burger, president of the United
Restaurant Owners Association of New
York, charged was keeping up prices and
restraining trade.
Mr.. Burger stated that the restaurants
cannot buy freely in the city because
certain trades mad special agreements
whereby the selling of goods to certain
restaurants and hotels was restricted.
These combinations" Mr. Burger stated,
"are not only in restraint of trade, but
develop the high prices current for food
stuifs Restaurant men cannot lower
prices while they are at the mercy OF
this combination"
Paul Henkel proprietor of keens
Chop House, and secretary of the stand
ard Purveyors a corporation composed
of seventy-iive restaurant men in the
city, said there is no such organized
combination.
I'VE buy our foodstuffs in bulk Mr..
Henkel said, land have been able,
through our organization, TO get better
prices for the seventy-five proprietors
who are members"
The hotel men were q the opinion
that the wholesaler did not charge too
