Terms of Veto Message.
Attached to the retirned bill is a
message which reciteg. "My chief
objection goes to the principle which
underlies all bills of this class.
am convinced that the inevitable
effect of direct primary laws under
mines our representative form of gov
ernment and that most of the unrest
and instability which has arisen in
the past decade has been due to the
increasing number of laws of this
character which have been in opera
ton
"Our country has become the great
est IN the world because we have had
a representative form of government
In past generations the representa-
NV oJoIOLi VI uOuludIlIS CdnQIOdI0Sl
has produced great leaders and great
statesmen. The primary exalts the
demagogue. The representative sys-
tenn has produced leaders. The pri-
mary system produces followers. The |
representative system has permitted
the sober second thought of the peo-
pie to prevail
The primary fans to a flame the
passion and the prejudice of the mo-
ment. The representative system is
one in which principles hold the
stage. The primary but promotes the
ambition of the individual, and it is
in this soil the demagogue best flour
fshes. The greatest menace to the Sc
curity of our liberty and the efficien-
cy of our government is the man who
would seek to capitalize each fleeting
prejudice for his own advancement.

by the committee on taxation, is
scheduled to appear for action by the

The home rule bill. an issue in Mil

main under the taxation limit of five
per cent and be subject to legislation
of statewide concern as it uniformly
affects cities or villages.

University Authorities to Permit Pub
LEGATION of Magazine of Com
ment to Go On.

Madison, Wis. - There will be no
suppression of The Scorpion, new
University of Wisconsin publication,
edited by David Sinclair, son of Upton
Sinclair, novelist, and j. Fl. Brooks,
Delevan, Wis, S. H. Goodnight, dean
of men, announced last night.
He held conference vita the two
students Monday afternoon following
furore caused by the reports that they
would be expelled from the University
for their connection with the journal,
and advised them that if they wanted
their paper to appear as a university
publication, its manuscript would have
to be submitted to censorship. Other
wise, he advised, they could print The
Scorpion as an independent paper.
Legislators, who yesterday were
threatening to call the dean of men
and president of the university before
joint meeting of the houses were to-
day satisfied with the stand taken by
the authorities.
Il merely called the editors to my
office to ascertain their plans and ia
appraise them of the regulations gov
erning student publications, Dean
Goodnight said. "If they wish to be
accredited as a student publication
they must submit their manuscript to
faculty regulation and censorship. II
not they may publish as an independ-
ent organ"
Sinclair said that he did not wish
to submit manuscript to censorship by
the university but that he wanted il
to appear as university publication
The EDITORS are to advise the dean OF
their plans later in the week.

TO PAVE WAY FOR
STATE OWNERSHIP
Legislation to RevolutiOnize Economic
Structure of Wisconsin Proposed
by E. ]. Crosse.

Madison, Wis. - Legislation that
would revolutionize the entire eco
nomic structure of Wisconsin and the
ultimate state ownership of privately
owned and operated electric power
companies in the state will be sought
under a bill to be introduced in the
lower house of the Wisconsin legis-
lature Wednesday.
The bill seeks the electrifcation of
Wisconsin by the conservation and
utilization of water sites to develop
electric power. 1t was drafted by and
will be introduced at the instance of
Edwin ]. Crosse, a Milwaukee attor-
ney, who is member of the executive
committee of the Public Ownership
League of America. Mr.. Crosse, a
prominent LaFollette progressive de-
clared the bill had no political signific-
ance.
Wednesdays bill is expected to be
but stepping stone to future legisla-
ton that would achieve the object of
the states electrifcation. It provides
through some department of the state
to make survey of potential or unde-
veloped water power sites in Wisconsin
and to prohibit the leasing or giving
away of natural resources that may
develop power. An appropriation of
approximately $4,000 will be asked to
carry on the work.
eve are satisfied, from the surveys
now available, sufficient power can be
developed to warrant the expense of
the undertaking." Mr.. Crosse said.
"The project is so far-reaching that it
will penetrate every phase of life.
"The present cost of electric power
in the state ranges from five to ten
cents per kilowatt hour but with Wis
consin's natural power sites controlled
by the state, these rates would be re-
duced to one cent or perhaps lower.
"This first bill will permit the sur
vey and in the meantime campaign
among civic and economic groups to aid
in the problem will result in our be-
ing able to present to the next session
of the legislature a practical and work
able bill covering hydro-electric, sup

Comptroller of Currency Declares
America Has Too Much Gold for
Her Own advantage.
By James T. Robert

s United Press Staff Correspondent q
Observation-Disclosures has too much
gold for its welfare. D. Z. Crissinger
comptroller of the currency stated to-
day in his annual report. is'
Nearly half of the gold supply Of
the world is in the United States.
Paradoxical as it may seem, this con-
centration is harmful to the United
States as the lack of the precious met
al is to other countries, he said. The
total gold supply of the world is es-
timated at about $9,000,000,000.
"We hold well nigh half of the
monetary gold stock of the world, and
such a disproportionately holding is
only less unfortunate for us than it
is for the other countries to have their
gold supply so badly depleted" Crisis
niger said.
Economic stability is based on the
movement of gold, he pointed out.
Americas monopoly of gold is re-
acting against the business of the
country, Crissinger said, calling at
tentiop to the drop in our favorable
balance of trade.
This report which is for the year
ended Oct. 81, 1922, states that in this
period general industrial conditions
underwent a decided improvement;
that unemployment is practically non
existent Sand all that remains is to
put agriculture firmly on its feet.
Crissinger gave the total resources
of the S,240 reporting national banks
at $20,926,099,00 as of Sept. Is, 1922,
an increase of $1,2O6,919,O 900 over the
previous year.
He recommended new banking legis-
lation, including the following:
An amendment comforting on nation
al banks perpetual succession in lieu
of the present 90 year limitation,
An amendment making the embezzle-
ment penalties act applicable to ma
tional bank examiners, assistants and
clerks.
An act authorizing the comptroller
to institute proceedings through the
department of justice against directors
for loses sustained by banks through
violations of the law.
An act Furnishing the offense Of ut
tering and publishing false state-
ments derogatory to the conditions or
standing of any national bank or any
other banking institution subject to
the supervision of the comptroller OF
the currency.
