laws then on the statute books would nave pro-
vided a government for the state as good as
could be found in any state in the union Hun
dreds of laws have been passed and Tor the
most part they were of little moment to the
people of the state. There was not one single
outstanding piece of legislature in the whole
session. The closing days of the session snow
ed clearly that the governor was more power
full than the legislature for scores OF measures
of more or less value which the legislature mad
deemed wise were put into the discard by the
veto of the governor For the most part these
measures were unnecessary measures-not VI
cious but just unnecessary-an the action OF
the governor in vetoing them will bring little
comment or criticism
A report from Madison says that the session
cost the state something over d quarter OF
million dollars. Most people will unite IN the
declaration that it wasn't worth this much or
half as much.
The session has been colored only by pollt-
ical fights and by accusations OF political
treachery and political manipulation. Of course
such a session could hardly be expected to be
of great value to the people or OF great ad-
vancement to the state.
Undoubtedly special session would be just
repetition of what has been going on IN Mad
ison since January The governor has the full
power to call such special session but there
is the hope that he will show his good sense
rather than his power.

There were in this country, too, as
long ago as 1860, so companies, most
| ly in the east, where oil was distilled
from various bituminous substances.
The methods were crude and materi-
ais treated ranged from bituminous
coal and camel Goals to some true oil
shales. The desired product was kerr
osense, or coal OIL" which latter term
survives since the time when most of
the kerosene used in this country was
really derived from coal and the like.
Some of these companies were only
getting started when the American pc
troleum industry came into being, re-
ducing the price of kerosene to such
an extent that shale oil operations be-
came Improbable, and the plants were
abandoned or adapted for use in re-
timing petroleum.
In 1916 there developed in the Unit
ed States a remarkable interest in
oil shales and the year marked the be-
ginning of an attempted development
of an oil shale industry. Since then
an increasing amount of work has
been done, but no commercial opera
tions have yet been started and the in
dustry does not exist except in the
literature of promotion organizations.
In this connection the Bureau of
Mines warns against fake develop
ments and says the true industry has
suffered greatly from the fake promot-
er and his companies. at is reason
able to say that over 100 companies
have been organized, ostensibly for
the purpose of developing oil shales
in some way or another, but really for
the purpose of fattening the pocket
books of the promoters" is was add

Oil shale deposits have been worked
in small way in the county of Dor
set, England, for centuries. Deposits
of Importance are found in New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia provinces,
Canada, and IN New South Wales and
Queensland, Australia. In the prov
inces of Allier and Saone ct Loire,
France, deposits have been worked for
half century. Others have been found
in Jugo-Slavia, Spain, Sweden, Bulgar-
ia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Es-

THE LEGISLATURE QUITS.

The session of the legislature which adjourn
ed sine die at Madison on Saturday will prob
ably go down into the history of the state prin-
cipally for the things it failed to do. Searching
the records of it with considerable care it is diff
6cult to find anything that has been on great
value to the people of Kenosha county.
The session has been given over largely to
ldEter fractional fighting and the interests of
che people were lost sight of in the effort of
n 9ew men to develop political issues. The ses-
sion has even failed to develop single big po-
ttical issue. The governor has not done the
things he wanted to do and on this account it
ss not improbable that he will call the members
of the two houses in special session later in or
der TO get new campaign issue. 1t is rather
q commentary on state craft to say that the re-
port Isl that the call for a special session de-
Ponds largely on whether or not one of the
members Of the senate may be called by death.
This very fact indicates pretty clearly the spir-
It that has been in charge at Madison. The
session has been featured with battle which
went to any ends to gain the point which few
men decided they wanted to gain.
Broadly speaking there was no reason for
the holding of session of the legislature, 9TH
er than the constitutional provision for such a
session.

the laws it needed. The enforcement of the
