May was sentenced to pay a fine
and serve a term in Jail. Under
the charge, possession the statute
provides for the assessment of a
fine only. When Judge Bakers at
tention was called TO this, it is al
legged, he changed that information
by inserting in the charge that
Sawa was accused Of 'manufac-
ture,' and had so pleaded guilty
This change, it is alleged, was
made without the prisoners being
brought into court, and without his
knowledge. Sawa had been Illegal
ly in Jail for two months when the
department of justice heard of the
case, investigated it, and rushed a
pardon to the President and wired
the jailor of Ohio county to re-
lease the prisoner at once as soon
as the pardon had been signed. The
Morgan brothers case, Wheeling
is another one which figures in the
controversy.
Inferentially.' only, it is stated
by Brown and his associates. as
we'll as informally, Judge Baker
has sought to place the blame for
such alleged irregularities upon
the office OF the district attorney
when such matters were brought
to his attention by the department
of justice.

Judge Brown came here, bring
ing accumulated evidence for the
purpose of starting the impeach-
ment of Judge Baker, and stated
yesterday that unless Judge Bak-
er hands in his resignation the i'm
parchment will happen. He is I'M
derstood to have the full co-opera-
ton Of friends in the delegation on
the house side, and assurances that
they will undertake the impeach-
ment However, it is not his desire
to start it now because OF the pend

A PLEA FOR THE STARVING

Dear Reader: The appeals of Rev.
E. Harris and Mayor Smith for relief
for Russia's starving millions ought
to be needed by every one of us In
all my ~ years | confess | have never
been real hungry and that is true of
80 out of every hundred, who will read
this; from experience we don't know
what starvation means.
1t occurs to me that the we'll fed
citizens of this rich county in every
school district could get up poverty
banquets and serve simply hunk of
black bread and a cup of Drowned
barley coffee as Mr.. Hoover served
a great hall full of bankers and rich
business men during the war, when
he wanted millions. There could be
literary program given during the
banquet. The district school teacher
could train some embryo actress to
recite in slow, feeble accents the Irish
Colleen's dying request of '46:
Give me three grains of corn, mother,
Only three grains of corn;
II will keep the little life / have
Until the coming of the morn"
Two or three short talks could be
given by older folks describing the
terrible conditions on the Volga, and
how millions will die unless fed by
America
| remember seeing in Boston Har-
Dor in 1865 several Russian men of
war with their great black sails. Rus
STA was our friend then and had sent
those men of war into cur harbors to
protect us-sgainst what power the
teacher might explain. Governor
Blaine tells us $4,000 Russians are dy-
ing daily of famine and pestilence; a
million every % days. But America
is awakening, and Wisconsin is in the
lead. Our Governor, both Senators,
Joe Beck, Rabbis, Cardinals, Bishops,
Mayors, Judges, Clergymen. editors,
have joined this Life Saving Army.
They want every community to do a
little. Reader will you cut out some
extravaganza and do your little mite
towards saving a human soul from
starvation Remember, "The quality
of mercy is not strained: 1t droppeth
as the gentle rain from heaven upon
the place beneath; it is twice blessed /:
it blesseth him that gives, and him
that takes" CV,P.

TAX CONSIDERATION
IS LEADING SUBJECT
BEFORE LEGISLATORS
(Ry Associated Press


MADISON, Wis, Dec. 29.-Repeal of
the secrecy clause to the state income
tax law and of the provision which per
mits personal property tax to be offset
against the income tax, a program of
financing highway development and a
law authorizing a surtax on all land
values over $4,000, are among the
measures to be submitted to the Wis
consin legislature which meets Jan. 10.
Tax legislation heads the list of ad-
ministration proposals. Besides sup
porting repeal of the foregoing clauses,
Governor Blaine plans to strengthen
the tax commission powers to inVesti-
gate income tax reports of individuals
and corporations For the first time
in 1S years the Blaine-LaFollette forces
will control the state.
Aim of Measure.
The surtax measure is aimed at
large, unimproved land holdings. The
highway department is back of the
proposal for taxes of gasoline, license
fees and motor cars and trucks to con-
tribute approximately $10,000,000 to-
ward highway development and main
tenance. The plan has been approved
by the majority of counties.
Twenty-seyen measures will be spon-
sored by organized labor, four of which
attack the power OF state courts. These
are laws to prevent judges issuing in
functions in labor disputes, to curb
the power of federal courts to hold
laws unconstitutional, amendments to
the state constitution which would give
the legislature authority to validate
laws held unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court, and provision for the re-
call of judges by popular vote.
The wet and dry issue will come in
for discussion with the anti-saloon
league already predicting a referen-
DUN as the result OF the session. The
socialists have advanced a program
which calls for abolition of the nation
al guard and the state senate. Other
subjects expected to be introduced are
rural credits, reforestation, and regu-
lation OF motor buss transportation
through the railroad rate commission.
