Associations.

JACKSON, Miss. Oct. 8.-The State OF
Mississippi won complete victory over
the 13e fire insurance companies de-
PENDANTS in an antitrust suit in de-
cision to-day by Chancellor Strickler,
who ruled that the State inspection and
advisory rating bureau was merely the
old Southeastern Tariff Association in
disguise, as claimed by the State au-
thorities. The association was barred
from doing business in the State fifteen
years ago.
Although penalties aggregating nearly
si3,000,0o0 were assessed against the de-
fendant companies, the Chancellor m
posed only the minimum penalty OF
500 day provided by the statute. IN
effect from 1903 to 1910, and a fine OF
SIS day from 1910 up to the time the
companies withdraw from business in
this State. during the early part of the
current year. The Legislature in 1910
reduced the minimum penalty to $50
a day.
I'VE exercise mercy as well as justice
in this court" said Chancellor Stricken.

BACK TO OLD Law

The law regulating the term of sup
ervisors of towns, villages and cities
has been amended and became effec-
tive May 18th. Under the amended
law the elective terms of these offic-
ers are fixed at one year, the same
as they were before the law was
changed four years ago. when it fixed
the terms at three years providing
the county boards by resolution decid-
ed to adopt the longer term. In most
counties of the state the plan was adj
opted but it does not seem to have
been satisfactory in some counties.
At least, sufficient pressure was
brought to bear on the legislature to
have the law amended. It was signed
by the governor, published, and is
now in force. 4
The change of the law does not af-
feet the present terms of supervisors
or town board members. They are en-
titled to hold their offices during the
period for which they were elected.
At all future elections, however
these officers are to be elected for
one year term Exchange

WABENO TRIP

One of the most interesting featur-
es about a trip to Wabeno Sunday to
attend the baseball game was to
note the progress made by Forest
county along it's highways in the
past year. Two or three public camp
ing sites have been established on
the banks of lakes between Crandon
and Laona with facilities at hand for
picnicing or camping over night. All
along the road wherever a spring is
nearby it has been fitted up for use
and plainly marked. The streams are
marked at bridges which is another
way of interesting travellers. Walter
Bent's road making machinery was
seen covering quite a stretch and he
already has a good start on his job
Forest county is certainly to be COM
mended for the attractive highways
it is maintaining and it can not help
but be of benefit to the taxpayers in
the way of increased valuation of all
property and larger business done
by the business men of the towns.
