Claim Of $lO,SOO is
Filed Against the City
C. E. HULTEN SAYS SUIT
WILL BE STRATED
Council at Tuesday Night Meet
ing, Turns Down the Claim.
Orders Fisher to Defend the
City.

The ghost Of the 1921 school year
presented itself before the city coln-
Gil at the meeting held on Tuesday
night of this week when bill Of
$10,8O0.00 was presented by H. w.
Adams, Attorney of Beloit, acting
for C. E. Hulten, former City School
Superintendent, as a claim for wages
covering three year contract en-
tered into between the former school
board and Mr.. Hulten.
The City Council turned down the
claim and directed City Attorney
John j. Fisher of Bayfield,, to look
after the city's legal side of the
question.
1t will be remembered that c. E.
Hulten was hired by the School
Board of the city of Washburn ON
three year contract at salary Of
$36O0.00 per year. When the new
school board came into power they
refused to recognize the Hulten con-
tract and proceeded to elect another
Superintendent for a one year term.i
Upon the acceptance of Mr.. Wilkins
to the position the Board demanded
the keys and records from Mr.. Hull
ten, and he left the city for Madison
where he took up school work.
The bill or claim for $10,800.00 was
presented to the Council at their
Tuesday meeting and after some
discussion was disallowed by the
Board and the claimant was so noti-
fed of the boards action.
Mr.. Hulten, through his Attorney,
;ntimates that suit will be started to
collect the full apaount.Aef the claim.
Il is said that similar case has
just been decided by the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin in which the city
lost the suit.
The City Council and tie School
Board claim that Kulten was hired
under the three year contract at a
meeting held during the month of
March, before the expiration of his
old term, while the law provides the
school superintendent shall be hired
at meeting to be held in May, and
they claim the action of the former
school board was illegal and it is
on these grounds that the. contract
was not recognized and it is on
the same grounds the claim was
denied.

TRIAL OF L. D. PEASE
ON TUESDAY
Chairman of the Town of Barnes
in Bayfield, County is Charged
With Inefficiency By Mrs.
Kate Hall, a Tax Payer of the
Town.

~ Wis, August
The courtroom was filled Tuesday
morning with witnesses and specta-
tors in the case of L. d. Pease, chair
man of the Town of Barnes, who is
charged with inefficiency, neglect of
duty, official misconduct and malfeas-
ance. The charges are signed by
Mrs. Kate Hall, a taxpayer in the
Town of Barnese.
Both Factions Represented
The two factions in the Town of
Barnes, the Pease crowd and the
Barnes crowd are we'll represented,
the former defending the present
town chairman and the latter oppos-
ing him. Because of the diligent
watch that goes on by the one fac
ton while the other is in power, the
Town of Barnes is always in an up
roar over the way its political mat
ters are handled.
Law is Rigid
The state law covering the duties
o ia town chairman is very stirct, and
often minor violations are committed
without being noticed, lin town
where the people pay little or no at
tention to the way affairs are hand
led.
One of the points most often vio-
lated is in connection with town
funds, and the charges against Pease
include that he collected salary due
him twice for certain days, that he
signed orders without proper record,
and allowed refunds contrary to law.
Former Chairman Removed
dad" Barnes former chairman of
the town, was removed some time ago
after charges had been preferred
against him, in spite of the fact that
he refused to vacate. The entire
old board was removed and new
one appointed.
Attorney Morris Of Washburn ap-
pered for Mr.. Pease, while the Barnes
interests were represented by AIT
torney Shea of Ashland. Ashland

BUMPER CROP is EXPECT
ED BY FARMERS
Grains About Ready to Cut and
the Yield is Expected to be
Heavy. Root Crops Look
Promising.

Farmers in the region adjacent to
Washburn are feeling happy over
the condition of crops this season,
and bumper yield all along the line
is expected.
The grain crop, which is just now
being cut, is one Of the best farmers
have had in years. The weather
has been ideal for the growing of
crops and the signs Of rust have not
appeared and the danger from this
source are now over. The yield of
wheat, rye and barley will be heavy
as will also the crop of oats. The
oat straw is Of good height and the
heads are well filled out and the yield
will be heavy.
Root crops are also looking fine.
There has been plenty of rain for
the potato crop and bumper yield
is expected.
Corn is beginning to look much
better the past week. The warm
weather of the past week has caused
the corn to fairly jump and unless
frost comes early in September there
will be no difficulty in maturing the
crop.
With prices anywhere near nor
NAL the farmers of the Washburn
district will have no complaint on
account of the condition of the crops
this season.

these conditions and fails to do SC

..'If any man or group of men pre-
pare plans for an industrial enter
prise and invite capital to invest in
the enterprise and labor to locate in
the neighborhood, it becames a seri.
GUS responsibility upon the managers
and directors of that industry to
secure the fullest measure of justice
to the laborer and the investor. After
labor and capital have received a
full measure of reward the consumer
is entitled to reasonable price. The
laws of natural competition may well
he permitted to operate and secure
these desirable ends, but where COM
petition is arbitrarily set aside or
where corporation is of semi-public
character, the government is fully
justified in compelling these results.
Industrial harmony and good will
are essential to the highest achieve
ment and the best results, and all
parties entrusted with leadership,
whether labor or capital, or public
Office, should earnestly strive to create
and maintain full measure of good
will"
Mr.. Ganfield's treatise Of the Esch-
Cummings law left in no ones mind a
question as to where he stands. He
says if the law is as bad as people
seem to think it is some radical
changes should be made in it or it
|should be repealed. He said that
the Senior Senator of Wisconsin had
been in the Senate for more than two
year after the passage of this mea-
sure and his voice has never been
raised in support of an amendment
that would correct the objectional
features of the bill, neither has he
attempted bill that would appeal it.
He promises if sent to Washington
he would make an exhaustive study
of the measure with a view to strik-
ing out the objectional features or
even repeating the bill if it seems to
him after exhaustive study to be the
wrong measure.
He said: "When / go to the Senate
/ want to go as one of the law abid-
ing citizens of Wisconsin and / want
always to be ready and free to re-
ceive candid frank suggestions from
any citizen or group of citizens. /
will always give to such suggestions
my very best consideration and will
earnestly strive to give the very best
effort / can to every movement in
tended to secure any economic bene-
fit to the best welfare of our citi-
re. MS"
Mr.. Ganfield is a great worker for
that st. Lawrence waterway that will
make the shores of Wisconsin ocean
ports and he promised if sent ito
Washington to use his best efforts to
secure the immediate passage Of a
bill that would bring this about.
While in the city and in fact every
where throughout the state where
Mr.. Ganfeld has been he has been
warmly greeted and his audiences are
growing and interest is growing.
He is the kind of a man Wisconsin
should have to represent US in the
Senate.

.BALKS AT OATH
EamOnn de Valera Explains
His Stand on Pact.
Terms Not Stepping Stone to
Absolute Freedom.
Copyright. 1922. by l. n. So

=. Dublin, Jan. 16.-Eamonn- de Va
lera, former president of the Irish re-
public, refused to accept the Anglo
Irish peace treaty because he believes
that it is not a stepping stone, but a
barrier to complete independence for
ireland.
1 De Valera made this statement to-
day in the first authorized interview
lie has given out since the opening of
the irish peace negotiations. He has
improved both in health and spirits
since the bitter struggle in the Dali
Eireann when Arthur Griffith, found
er of the Sim Fein, ousted him from
his position as president Today he
was the same smiling man the Irish
knew before he made his trip to the
United States.
81 am giving you the first authentic
statement 1 have given to any press
Oath Main Objection.
ITO recognize the British king as a
sort OF president of an association or
a league of nations is one thing; to
accept him as king of Ireland and the
soreveign> source of all authority in
Ireland and to swear allegiance to him
and to promise fidelity to him is an
other
THE question was asked: "But how
about your alternative oath embodied
in your proposal known as document
No. %"
De Valera waved a copy of docu-
ment No. 2 in my face; he walked up
and down, then replied: Look at
document No. 2. You find no oath
proposed at the cabinet meeting
where I criticised the British propos-
ais. 1 said the oath they proposed
was impossible. I said we could not
accept it. 1t was held by some of the
al Fac h0 RVifi cI0 irae CT
ing upon an oath of some kind. 1
suggested that if the oath were the
only difference it would not be diff
cult to frame one we could take.
