RIGHT OF LABOR
The present provision of the Com

be reviewed in the circuit court of
Dane County often amounts to a
denial Of the right of appeal to in

Of his lawyer going to Madison to

injured workingman's having an

I reiterate my adherence to the
plank in the last Republican state
platform which / drafted and pro-
posed at the Platform Convention,
reading as follows:
'SThe basic eight-hour day should
be adopted in industries when rea-
sonably applicable with the return OF
normal conditions in order that the
welfare of our citizens may be pro-
moted by giving such citizens time
for something more than eatins,
sleeping and working"
Wages and working conditions
must be fair. Workers should have
an opportunity for mental and social
improvement and recreation. The
welfare of our state depends on the
Iprosperity and happiness Of every
class of its citizens4
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
Idle lands held for speculative pur-
poses do mot enrich the state. To
encourage the development of un-
cultivated agricultural lands in
Wisconsin the last legislature passed
. law at my request exempting a
40 acre homestead of such land from
all taxation for a period Of three
years after purchase and occupancy
The bill / prepared had 5 year ex-
emption which i still favor.
RURAL CREDITS
Manufacturers and merchants
whose products are quickly sold are &C
commodated by short-time loans, but
the farmer to be equally served must
1ave longtime loans. l favor leg

time rural credits. This can be
done by amendment of the land mort

the federal land bank system along
similar lines under state supervision.

WATCH THE NOxIoUs WEEDS

Abundance Of rain in many Sec
tions of Wisconsin, accompanied or
followed by high temperatures, il

of all vegetation, especially weeds"

partment Of Agriculture. 'This hast
ems the time when the noxious weeds

and others named in the noxious

which they should be cut to prevent
them from ripening seed. In, GER

pect in the future unless strenuous
efforts are made to keep the weeds
from spreading. Great responsible
lity for the future of prosperous agri-
culture rests upon the town, city
and village officers and the weed COM
missioners appointed by them. From
a large number of letters received, it
is gratifying to note that many such
officials and a large majority Of Wis
consin tanners realize the menace
to the community in which they live
and are lighting to get noxious weeds

Every interested official farmer
owes it to himself and to the pros

StOckhOlm-Th planet Mars, an

while the up-andcoming young planet
Venus is just waiting for a chance TO
know us better.
This Is the conclusion OF Professor
Svante Arrhenlus, Nobel prize winner
and one of Europe's foremost scien-
fists and astronomers, who lectured
here on the prospect of wheedling
from the heavens the secrets of some
of our celestial neighbOrs, and
especially Mars, when that planet
swings into closest proximity to the
earth two years hence.
If scientists and long-diStance radio
fans really want TO communicate with

henius said, they will not find Mars
very cordial. for the old fellow is dead.
He described rs fantastic" the belief
that so-called canals observed on the
planet were the work of engineers and
attributed them To earthquake assures.

Development Surprises Experts.

Now. the new development which
has surprised economists in connec-
tion with this situation is the discov-
cry that there is tendency on the
part OF Europeans 10 bring about a
hitherto undreamed Of method OF cor
recting the imitation. Many plans have
been suggested but none has been
found practical. The new develop
ment is one which. If Ii continues. VIII
tend IN correct the situation without
the aid OF conferences or politicians.
The Development is hailed as a re-
versnl Of Gresham's law The fact
seems to be that the people of Russia,
Germany and Poland and some of the
other nations having badly depreci-
ated cWrencies have become so dis
gusted with the nuisance OF dealing
with cheap money that they are bring
ing out of hiding their boards of gold
and other valuable money. case
illustrating this new development re-
Gently was reported by British trad
Ing firm. This firm sold bill of goods
to Russian dealer at Rostov. Pay
ment was received In q miscellaneous
assortment OF cash. II consisted OF
American gold, checks drawn on
American banks, American bills OF ex-
change, English currency and checks,
Turkish gold and checks and notes,
French currency and checks and Rus
sian gold rubles Obviously, with the
exception of the checks, this payment
was made from good money which
doubtless had been boarded since the
war
Agents of the American relief ad-
mlnistration In Russia have reported
similar Instances Of people bringing
out gold and other metal money. The
same is true In Poland, Germany and
Austria.
Currency Revolution Seen
What economists see In this devel-
opment is the possibility of a gradual
revolution In European currencies.
For instance. the Russians have dis
covered that their own rubles are
nearly useless but that they can get
big value for British or American or
will try to get hold of as much OF this !,
foreign money as possible.
In early days In Europe this same
phenomenon occurred. Money issued
at the great banking centers OF ven-
ice, Antwerp and a few other cities
came into general use oil over Europe,
displacing cheaper native currencies
because. everybody knew IL was good
money.
Recently. the United States treasury
removed the ban from the free issue
of gold and gold certificates. II Is
thought possible by economists and
students of international finance that
a good deal of this gold money. known
all over the world as being obtainable,
will reach the countries abroad having
deprecated currency and become pop
ular as a valuable medium of ex-
change. This has not been possible
until the last few days because the
treasury and the federal reserve banks
would not let gold go into general cir
culation, but now II Is possible for
foreign-born Americans to get this
money and send IL TO their relatives
abroad
1t is recognized that this process OF
of foreign money for the
deprecated native currencies would
be slow. but some economists believe
that il is possible but necessarily
slow solution to the European emer-
gency problem.

MAKING OVER OLD HOUSES

Increasing Demand for Inside

Seattle Wash.-An era of remak-

that any house, old or new, has untold
possibilities of alterations. Archi-
tects have been called upon 10 pro-
