REPEAL TEACHER LAWS
Bill Now Before Legislature
Asking Repeal of Teachers
Insurance and Retirement
Fund.

Repeal Of the teachers and in
surance and retirement fund law
enacted by the 1921 session Of
the Wisconsin legislature, will
be asked in a bin 20 be brought
before the present session. Rob
ert Caldwell, assemblyman from
Columbia county, is its author.
Assemblyman Caldwell opposed
the enactment Of the pension law
in 1921 and at that time offered
a bin 20 abolish the entire sys-
TEN. the state 70 pay its obliga-
tions 20 the teachers according
TO the amount Of their salary
they have contributed 10 the
fund. He proposes to bring a
similar measure before the 1923
legislature.
4 said two years ago that the
state was getting a white ele-
plant when il accepted the re-
tirement fund. and my claims
have been borne out" Mr.. Cald-
well said. Here two years after
the law becomes effective the
estates of seven former teachers
who contributed only $1,000 TO
the fund have claims amounting
70 100000 against the state. One
Of these men contributed S24 TO
the teachers fund, and his estate
is drawing $4,000.
This shows what Wisconsin 5
pension law is going 20 be. 1t Is
a white elephant Of the worst
sort. Il is my belief that trouble
is ahead when any class starts to
give pensions to another class.
favor repeal of all pensions and
intend TO take that stand in the

Rain continues to fall almost
daily in this section. The pros
pect for a full crop perhaps was
never worse in the history of this
county,; A very large per cent of
the land has not been planted, not
even broken this spring. In many
cases a poor stand of cotton is re-
ported and cotton dying on account
of wet, cool weather.

was student accompanied the
body here. He stated that a few
college boys were out swimming in
back water of Pearl River when
several of them ventured out fur
ther than they intended, reaching
the main current. Two boys call
ed for help and were rescued.
Horace also called help but after
the other boys had called. Two
boys went to him at once and found
the current so swift that they could
not get out with him, They swan
to the bank of the main stream and
got Horace into tree and tried to
bring him to but failed. One boy
swan to land. more than fifty feet
away and phoned for help. Time
had to be taken to get boat. All
aid possible was given but life
could not be restored. Prof. Harold
stated that two other boys had
drowned in this river, one in 1898
and the other 1908.
Horace o. Gable entered the
Tist omingo A. H. s. in 1918 taking
the four year course. He was
always diligent student. He
affiliated himself with the Methodist
Church by joining. He was an
active Hi-Y member. The faculty
never had to discipline him. The
orator of the school was always
Horace. At graduation he was
the youngest in his class as well as
the youngest to graduate at this
school, being only fifteen. This
is the first death of graduate o
this school. We mourn the loss
