The Pending Unemployment Bill Is
unsound Economic Measure

unsound Economic Measure
There is said to be a strong pros
pect that the present legislature o.
Wisconsin will pass the employment
insurance bill that narrowly escaped
enactment into law at the last session
being defeated by the narrow margin
of one vote in the State senate.
The bill is designed to compel en-
ployers to insure their workmel
against unemployment. Neither tn.
State nor the workman contribute
anything to this idleness pension. The
employer simply digs down into hi
pocket and pays ultimately
course passing it along to the publ
in the necessarily increased price
his product. If laid off because of lac
Of work a workman will be entitled t
receive from his employer 81 da
for thirteen weeks, unless in the meal
time he has secured an equally goo
job either through his own efforts
those of his employer
This will of course hit seasonal en-
Payments especially hard. The thous
ands of men employed in logging opeI
atoms in the woods Of Wisconsin will
if the bill passes, be entitled to tn
thirteen weeks bonus, pension,
whatever it may be called, after tn
logging season ends and the men ar
laid off. The same is true in the ic
harvesting industry.
The effect upon the building indus
try is not difficult to foresee. It is i'm
possible for contractors, especially
those engaged in large building opera
tions, to avoid laying off numbers OF
men from time to time. Every build
ing involves the labor of various
crafts for different lengths of time.
Continuous employment of the same
men by the same contractor is no
feasible, outside of his skeleton or
ganization and limited number OF
skilled workmen The amount of the
pensions thus paid will have to bt
passed on to the owner, increasing
the cost of the building to that extent
The proposed law on it's face is ecoI
omically unsound. It will tend to en-
courage idleness, just as the British
Government doles have done, but ever
worse is the added handicap imposed
upon the industries, especially thos
of a seasonal or intermittent charactel

Immense Timber Tracts
In NeighbOling County
FOREST COUNTY HAS GOT MORE
STANDING TIMBER THAN ANY
OTHER COUNTY

Forest county to-day has two bill
lion feet of standing timber, accord
ing to conservative estimates by as
SCISSORS, lumbermen and Forest coun-
ty officials who are posted on such
matters. Fred ]. Rogers, with the as
sistance of e. o. Woodbury., veteran
land and timber estimator, has COM
piled the following interesting facts:
Forest county has more standing
timber to-day than any other county
in Wisconsin.
There are thirty million feet OF
eine. still growing in its forests and
four hundred million feet of maple.
In 34-l3 in the town of Nashville
there still remains seven and one-half
million feet of pine, the largest single
block in the county. There are 691, 200
acres of land in the county and it is
estimated that there are twenty-one
million and six hundred thousand
cords of wood, bolts and pulp on this
ldnO-dL dill average VI tWOhCy oOA No
to the acre and valued at fifty cents
a cord, or $691, 200 worth.
Figuring stumpage of the timber
pine, maple, hemlock, Eastwood, etc
at eleven dollars per thousand,
would make the timber in the county
worth twenty-five million dollars.
Thirty million dollars worth Of for
est products is a staggering amount
and more than we ever dreamed was
in our county. 1t looks as though
logging days were not nearly ended
as some think, but instead just fairly
begun in Forest county.
1t now remains for the owners OF
this timber to leave enough standing
to beautify the highways, lakes and
villages and not cut every stick as
has been done in some places in
former years. Tourists are attracted
here in greatly increased numbers
every year by our wonderful forests,
so let US keep them as beautiful as
is possible. Forest Republican.

TRANSFER OF PROPERTY

The 1900 acre farm Of the late John
F. Higgins at Clearwater Lake was
last week transferred according to the
terms of his will to the ST. Mary's Or
phan Home in Chicago, an institution
n which Mr.. Higgins had been inter
ested for years. The property was left
for the use of his wife during her life
time if she wished, but she decided to
release her interest for the benefit Of
the home.
Mr.. Higgins was the owner of a
large printing establishment in Chi
cago and his death occurred year
ago The farm was purchased by him
from N. A. Colman and the Higgins
had spent their summers there for
several years. The gift includes all
stock and farming equipment and
represents a value Of many thousands
Of dollars.

KEEP THEM SHUT UP

A few weeks since we published an
article of our own, condemning the
promiscuous dog poisoning then going
on. Yesterday morning we were asked
by a subscriber to also say something
in opposition to the carelessness OF
many dogaowners in permitting female
dogs to run at large when in heat. 1t
is an objection we'll taken, and there
is probably no other cause that
prompts as much dog poisoning, al
though according to legal and moral
law, no one is justified in getting rid
of nuisances by poison. However, no
one reIishes the sight of beastly orgies
on their premises, or on the streets
that are bound to occur when owners
of bitch dogs make no attempt to con-
fine them when nature has placed
them in the mood for reproduction of
their species. All those who keep dogs
for breeding purposes are very care
full that they are not allowed to come
in contact with stray or undesirable
male dogs. While people having dogs
of little or no value, unless as pets,
give them unrestrained liberty at all
seasons, we will have to continue to
expect the periodical poison slaughter
of many innocent dogs.

Eagle Highs Won One
and Lost Two on Tour
sHAWANo AND CLINToNVILLE
FIRST TEAMS TO BEAT LOG
AIS THIS SEASON

The Eagle River High School bas
ket ball team have completed their
much heraIded basket ball tour. They
lived up to their reputation as usual
and played some excellent ball.
On last Wednesday morning they So
journed to Shawano and tackled the
Shawano heavy weights Wednesday
evening The first half of the game
was one of the fastest games ever
played in the Shawano gym accord
ing to some Shawano spectators, and
the score at the end Of the half was
SO in favor OF Shawano In the sec
ond half Shawano egan football tactics
and on account of the fact that their
team outweighed ours 80 pounds to a
man, they soon had us bruised up, but
even then they got most Of their bas-
kets from the middle of the floor be
ing unable to work thru the Eagle de
Tense. The final score was 80 and IS
in favor of Shawano and marked the
first defeat of the season for Eagle
River.
Thursday morning all stiff and bruis
ed they Travelled on to Clintonyille and
played the snappy Clintonville team
there Thursday mite. The game was
fast throughout and one of the best
seen there this year. 1t must be said
to the credit of Mr.. Wartinbee, and
also his team, that they gave us
good clean game with an excellent re.
fierce and also entertained us royalty
during our stay at ClintonVilIe Well
Clintonville beat us to the tune Of 10
49, 1t must be remembered in this
connection that Clintonville had play
ed 81 games and lost only one Of the
series which included teams like Anti
go, Waupaca, Oconto, Shawano and
Weyauwega. So Eagle did not do SO
badly there, considering that we play
ed hard game the night before
Sitter and more bruised than ever
we journeyed on to Marion on FRIDAY
morning. Here we played the Marion
High in the evening. This game wa
not as snappy as the first two were
but we also had fair referee and the
Marion boys exerted themselves to
their utmost, not only to give the
Eagle boys a good clean game, but tc
show them a good time after the game
AS mentioned the game was slow here
in the first uarter due to the Soreness
of the Eagle players and Marion got
all their baskets during the first hal
but they had no chance of winning
when the local boys got 1imbered ur
and the final score. was 8-24 in favor
of Eagle River.
Taken all in all the trip was a de
cided success and served the purpose
for which it was planned, which was
to give the local boys a chance agains'
teams in their own class and to Civ
them an opportunity to play on larger
and higher floors than they are accus
toned to at Eagle River.
We did not expect to travel one
hundred and fifty miles, play two of
the best teams in the state on their
own floors with their own referee
and beat them, but we do expect to dc
better at the tournament, if we gel
the chance to go, than we would have
done if we had not played these teams
and on these floors.
The scores of the three games were
&C follows.

wartinbee Praises The Team

Mr.. Verne Richards,
Eagle River, Wis.
Dear friend Verne
The Eagle River basket ball team
played a closely contested game with
IS here last evening. You may tell
he Eagle people, through your col
INNS, that they have one Of the
strongest, cleanest, most sportsman
like group of boys and coach that it
has been our pleasure to play against
this season.
10 date we have played eighteen
games and have defeated every team
hat we have played against, although
wo Of the teams defeated us in re-
turn games by narrow margins. If
We were to play a return game on
our floor, which we hope to do, later
n the season our boys would surely
lave to play excellent basket ball if
they did not suffer defeat. 1t is sure
ly a pleasure for us to play against
cams like the one from your town
Sincerely yours,

WAuREGAN BAND PLAYS
Entertains Hundred of Spectators On
Union Square-Seores Dance

The second of the August band
concerts on Union Square, under the
auspices of the Putnam Chamber OF
Commerce. was held on Wednesday
night. As on previous occasions,
there was a crowd of several hundred
local and out-0f town people IN at
tendance. and il was evidenced IN
several ways. that the program fur
nished by the Wauregan Band was
greatly to eyeryone's liking. Meal
was again spread over the surface Of
the square. and scores and scores of
couples danced to strains of popular
song hits. ranging in character from
one-steps 10 waltzes. Playing on the
zylophone by one Of the band members
added 70 the pleasure derived from
the music by the crowd.
Parking Of automobiles along the
Putnam Inn side of the square was
restricted during the concert. and
this proved a good idea. from the
point of view Of spectators and dane
ers. The added open space was an
Improvement over the conditions that
prevailed year ago. Captain Of
Police Jarvis had Officers Chandler
and nuraud stationed there 70 ham
die the crowds and automobiles. and
they did their job well.
