eve brought suit against the She
boygan lumber dealers for price
fixing and collected a money penalty
from them.
s'Now you must not think that TIE
seven cases have successfully con-
Guided, Or the twenty-five or thirty
that are still pending, are all that we
have accomplished under our anti
trust laws. We have investigated
over two hundred trade associations.
| don't mean corporations or in
dividual companies. We have in
vestigated over thousand corpora
tions, firms and sole traders that be-
longed to these combinations. But
there was no publicity about at. We
have not been conducting undertaking
campaigns. Our Investigators and
Investigations never got into the
newspapers unless we found that the
law was being violated and that a
law suit was justified. You didn't
know that last October we investi-
gated the master bakers association,
and yet Within forty Eight hours after
that inquiry was started, the price of
bread was cut two cents loaf.
can tell you about that now because
we started suit against them after
we found them raising the price last
May. Right here is good time for
me to open an account with you on
that $4,000 appropriation. If a
family of five used two loaves of
bread day, that would mean a saw
mig of four cents for each family.
But in the two hundred days between
the cut in October and the raise again
in May, we put So in the pocket of
every family buying bread from this
combination. We have a population
of 500, 1000 i'm Milwaukee. That would
mean 100000 families of five, or $780,
600 if they all bought bread from the
combination. This combination, how
ever, controlled only eighty per cent
of the bread business in Milwaukee.
That would mean 100000. From
one Investigations alone, in a single
city, we have saved the consumers
who must buy bread over million
dollars. Don't you think that that
$4,000 has been good investment?
''That sounds like big money,
doesn't it, but let me tell you what
our investigation showed in May. I
happened to be in Milwaukee and
picked up a newspaper and saw the

general in 1918? And how he talked
about the trust in 1920 when he was
running for governor? But he didn't
do any prosecuting. If | had not
been prosecuting trusluts and price
fixing combinations | haven't any
doubt that he would still be talking
about them this year But because
I~have been prosecuting them he had
to switch to something else, SO he is
talking about tax dodgers. Well, if
am governor and find any corpora
tions or individuals deliberately MAX
ing false or fraudulent income tax
returns and defrauding the state out
of taxes due, you can bet your last
dollar bhat will prosecute them. /
won't GO around making speeches
about it. / want to tell you that
there is no way of making socialists
and radicals faster than by failing to
enforce laws that are passed for the
benefit an protection of the people.
Our trouble is not that we haven't
enough laws. We have too many
laws. If we would repeal thirty per
cent of our statutes and enforce the
balance one hundred per cent, we
would have sight better government
than we have with all these laws and
only sixty per cent enforcement.
"Now, if you believe that / have
kept my promises that / made IN my
campaign two years ago; if you be-
lieve that ] have used my Office for
the benefit and protection of the peo-
pie, want you to. give me credit for
sincerity in this campaign, for ] tell
you that a man who goes about the
state asking his fellow citizens to
elect him governor who fails TO keep
his campaign promises, is no better
than man who would sign con-
tract, get the consideration for it III
his pocket and then refuse to. carry
out the contract"

.Foas May Supply Water.

In order to overcome the serious
shortage of water caused by last years
record drought in England, scientists
have been experimenting with view
to obtaining permanent water supplies
from fogs. One Of the experimenters
has devised a reservoir to collect the
dew and moisture contained in fogs,
1t Is calculated that one Of these
dew reservoirs, with cover area Of
100 square yards, would collect $4,000
gallons OF dew and rain in the eastern
counties in the course Of year. With
a storage capacity Of 1900 gallons,
1t could supply on an average 120 gal
Ions daily during the summer months
and SO gallons daily during the re-
mainder Of the year.

Imprisoned Cat and Kansas City Man
Alike In Disposition Until Storm
Gained Down.


In Enid, Okla, according to Kansas
City man who goes there frequently,
there Is a collector of curiosities pecu-
liar to the state. His line ranges from
Indian moccaslns to live coyotes In
fact he handles anything that might
appeal to the romantic impulses and
purses Of Fasteners.
This Dealers store window recently
attracted the interested attention OF
a portly salesman who was strolling
about the town In company with the
Kansas City man. With this obese
travelling man to pause was to sit.
The only convenient seat In this case
was a box on the sidewalk In front
of the store window. A piece Of bur-
lap had been spread over 1t.
The portly one just settled himself
comfortably to enjoy the window dis
play when his companion heard a
snarling scream within the box and
almost simultaneously the fat man
was seen rising high In the air, pro-
PEELED by his own sturdy legs. A
howl from him mingled with the
falsetto one which emanated from
beneath the burlap.
Subsequent investigation developed
that the box was really crate con-
tanning a temperamental wildcat
about to be shipped East. The animal
had been seized with an impulse to
test its lungs and claws at about the
time the salesman placed the pos
terror part of his anatomy so con-
venient for claw testing.

Revenue From Trees.

The United States forestry service
is endeavoring to get the cities and
municipalities Of the country into line
for the proper forestation of such lands
as these organizations might own and
control The fact Is deplored In re-
cent paper on the subject that less
than one-half of the land owned or
controlled by the cities Of New York
state is properly cared for and made
to pay for the keep.
Newberg, which leads In the devel-
opment Of municipal lands, has been
engaged for some time In the task Of
reforesting It's watershed so as to In
sure supply of water and 10 derive
a future income. This consists Of 175
acres, of which Is acres have been re-
forested. The work has been done by
securing the interest Of the school
children, and each year 200 boys and
girls are taken to the country for the
purpose Of tree-planting.

DEMAND FOR CAsCARA BARK
Industry Was Once a Baby, but IL
Has Developed Greatly In
Washington State.

A half million dollars was the value
of this seasons cascara bark, mar
vested by Grays Harbor (Wash.) folk.
1t Is the peeled leather-like skin Of
the barberry tree, stripped by settlers
and city dwellers who spend six
weeks each spring In the swampy for
ests near HoQuiam.
Six years ago this bark gathering
industry was babe, the few who at
tempted to sell the peeled bark get
ting from 3 to cents per pound for
it-not knowing just how to properly
cure and pack it.
Then came the drug famine. The
wholesale price which has gradually
been rising is now Is cents per pound
and skillful shippers make $40 to SIS
per day. With e knife an incisiOn

Of bark once loosened there may be
pulled from the tree upward for ten

announcement that the price of bread
would be raised one cent a loaf ON
May 8th. l called In my special as
sistanIt and put him on the job. Here
is what he learned, and this is from
the court records. One of these
corporations that we are suing, with
capital of 100000 preferred stock
and $4,000 common stock, paid out
of the profits of single year not only
seven per cent ON their preferred
stock, but one hundred per cent on
their common stock, or $4,000 worth.
Not satisfied with that much profit
in a single year, they also paid to
three of their officers, in the guise of
salaries, between $4,000 and $68,00O,
all taken from the pockets of the
people who must buy bread.
In another company young man,
younger than | am, has permanently
retired from business on the profits
from selling bread to the people. He
Dies not intend to work any more and
he made it all selling bread. Society
is interested in seeing that the talents
and abilities of our citizens are de-
veloped, but we are also interested in
seeing that our citizens use their
talents for the benefit of society and
not to exploit the people and to use
the proceeds to. live lives of ease be-
fore they have done a mans. work in
life.
Now tell you that taking profits
such as those from the people for the
necessities of life is a violation of the
statute and violation of the moral
law.
Now, do you understand why
want to see this work continued?
give you my word that if I am gov
ernor | will give my attorney general

ton in enforcing these laws against
price-fxers and trusts. / am in the

Burma Is growing every year. With a
population of 100000, the growth Of
which is not keeping pace with the
new areas which are being put under

there Is an insufficiency of labor, and
1t is necessary to import farm labor

are still primitive and the Introduction

toward relieving the shortage of labor.

but before the conclusion of the case a
settlement that was mutual was
affected between the parties. 1t
seemed that Howard Barnes and E.

court was which Of the two was en-

the terms of the settlement, More
