Madison. ADMINISTRATION of the Wis

to improvement in it's administration is
called for in a joint resolution intro
duced into the senate by Senator An
tone Kuckuk of Shawano. The resolu-
tion recites that mo legislature or any

give to so important subject as edu-
cation the consideration and attention
which it demands" and declares that
ito the end that the subject may be
thoroughly investigated and that prop
err bills may be prepared upon the same
and submitted to the legislature of 1925
for its consideration" a committee be
named. This committee would consist
of two members of the senate and two
members of the assembly to be APP

house and three members to be APP

KENOSHA GUARDS
TOCAMP z WEEKS
Southport Unit Not to be
Affected by Action of
Legislature,
ONLY STATE CAVALRY

When Wisconsin cities send their
representative state guards to the
ANIMAL encampment this summer, Keno
sha will probably be the only city
having full contingent there.
Captain John D. Alexander, of the
105th Cavalry, Troop E, has been in
formed by E. S. Driver, assistant to
the adjutant general, that the Keno
sha cavalrymen will have encamp-
ment at Camp Douglas July 80 to
August Is, inclusive
The dates of the encampment, how
ever, and the units participating will
be dependant upon the action of the
legislature with reference to appro-
priatians. If the appropriation for the
National Guard is materially cut, the
majority Of the units scheduled for the
first period of encampment at Camp
Douglas, July ID to % inclusive, will
probably be mustered out, enabling.
the state authorities to advance the
troops schedule from the second per-
iod to the first.
That Kenosha's entire unit will at
tend the encampment is practically
assured, regardless of the action of
the legislature. Kenosha boasts the
only cavalry troop in the state and
for this reason if for no other, will
be given preference in case of a cut
in the state budget for encampment
appropriations.

Cannot Spend County
Money on Highways
New Law at Madison Leaves Provision
of Expenditure for Roads Up
to the County Board.
(By United Press)

Madison, Wis.-Bill No. IA, A, by
Assemblyman George Gauer, Milwau-
kee, passed by the legislature and made
law by the signature of Gov. Blaine
on Saturday, has statewide signi-
fcance, State Highway, Engineer A. R.
Hirst said today.
The bill simply repeats a present
provision of the state highway aid law
that provides that county money can
not be spent on state highways within
cities of more than 10000 population
in front of property valued at more
than $40 foot; and that in cities of
less than 10000 county money cannot
be expended on state highways in
cities in front of property valued at
more than $40 foot.
This repealed provision limited the
expenditure of county highway money
to outskirts of cities.
Now the cities are in the same class
as the villages and towns-if the
county board sees fit, any amount of
county money designated by it can
be spent on state trunk highways
within the cities.
|. The cities now do not get a cent of
state or county aid money, but with
the provision repealed, they can get
as much as the county board will allow

Farms on Highways
Losing Their Value
Land on Trunk Roads Considered
Worth $25 an Acre Less
Than Other arms.
(By United Press)


Madison, Wis-"The man in the
house by the side of the road" is not
being benefited by being ION the side
Of the road" if he is farmer.
When the trace Of men goes by" the
land of the farmer, the automobiles
kill enough pigs, chickens and dogs to
make his land worth $25 an acre less
than it would be if he did not live
on an automobile highway.
Believe it or not. This is the deci-
sion of the Helping Hand Community
club, meeting at the Oak Hill school, a
few miles south of Oregon, Dane
county. Land bordering on state
trunk highways is worth $25 an acre
less than land that is not.
And besides the farmers claim it
was almost impossible to drive stock
across highway into pasture, while
the women say that the dust raised
by autos was a menace to clean
housekeeping.

Supreme Court Rule
Not for Wisconsin
Five States Will Disregard Ruling on
Minimum Wage Law as They
Have Laws Their Own.
(By Associated Press,

Madison, Visit Wisconsin's mini
mum wage law for women and children
is to be knocked out, it will take a
hard fight to do it.
Attorney General Herman Ekern,
returning from conference in New
York with representatives of five
states with minimum wage laws, to-
day Joined the industrial commission
in statement that the Wisconsin law
will continue to be administered.
This means that the state authori-
ties are disregarding the decision of
United States supreme court knocking
out the District of Columbia minimum
wage law for women, on the grounds
that the high courts decision does not
apply to the Wisconsin law.
Four other states, New York, North
Dakota, Oregon, and California, will
follow the same procedure, Ekern said.
The District of Columbia law was
particularly vulnerable in having its
minimum wage based on a weeks
work, whereas the Wisconsin law is
figured on an hourly basis The Wis
consin law applies primarily to min
ors, over whom the state has been
held to have a controlling power,
while the District of Columbia law
applied only to women.
A separate contest by the employers
in each state will have to be taken
before the laws are declared uncon-
stitutional, if they can be declared I'M
constitutional, it is said

TURKS APPEAR READY
TO CAST OFF FRANCE
Turks Seem to be Looking Around for
Some Other Country to Pilot Them
Through Financial Straits.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


Lausanne Resumption OF the
peace negotiations between the Turks
and the allies has given rise to the
suggestion that Turkeys expressed
desire to cast off Frances as her eco
nomic pilot, may lead to difficulties
that will prove to be an important de-
Velopment Of the conference.
Most of the Turkish debt is owed to
France, whose nationals also have a
preponderance of the economic hold
ings in the domain now governed from
Angora. The Turks express a desire
to shake off French control, but
spokesman of the latter country aver
that they are interested only in pro-
tecting legitimate French investments
in Turkey, to which end they have al
ready made extensive concessions.
Activities of the bands of Turkish
irregulars along the borders of Syria,
a French mandate, appear to have en-
tered into the situation, resulting in
the dispatch Of General Weygand to
Syria.
The troop movements, it is believ-
ed, indicate that Turkey may be seek
ing to embarrass France in that re-
gion and also in the Ruhr.
The first day Of the conference
passed without mention of conces-
sions.

Prevention is Far
Better Than Remedie
Hog Cholera Can Be Easily Prevent,
But is Very Difficult to Cure
Says Official Warning.

The hog cholera germ is rs helple!
as new born babe. It does not pos
sess arms, wings or legs, neither doe
it own aeroplane or automobile. 1t ha.
no means of Iocomotion and must b.
carried to the swine. or the hogs mus
go where the infection exists or they
will never have the disease. Without
the germ you can no more have an out
break of hog cholera than you can
grow corn without the seed which pro-
duces it.
Investigation by the cooperative
hog cholera force Of the Wisconsin De
partment of Agriculture indicates that
without exception the infection reached
the herd because Of a lack Of know
ledge of the disease, through careless
ness, Indifference, or to the idea that
one can triie with it with impunity.
We have been triding with this dis
ease for 80 years, and it is now one
of the most serious infections of our
domestic animals. Prevention must be
the watchword from now on if we do
not want to entertain it for another
80 years.
In non-infected territory there arc
practically only two ways in which the
infection can be brought in. One is
by the purchase Of new stock of un-
known origin, which may be sick, or
may have been exposed to the diseases
The other is by feeding garbage, table
refuse or kitchen swill which may con-
tain bits of infected pork, to unvaccin-
ated hogs.
If hog cholera is in your neighbor-
hood the infection is very liable to
spread if owners do not know Of its
existence, or if the carcasses Of dead
animals are not promptly destroyed.
The precautions necessary to pre-
vent introduction and spread of the
disease are plain. Do not feed gar
bage or kitchen swilI to unvaccinated
hogs. Do not purchase pigs of I'M
known origin which may be sick or
exposed to the infection. Report al
cases of sickness in hogs promptly to
your veterinarian, or to the Live Stock
Sanitary Division of the Wisconsin De-
partment of Agriculture, Capitol Build
ing, Madison, Wisconsin.

ASSESSORS MEET
HERE THE 9TH
Annual Discussion of Coun-
ty ''Fixers' Called by
Assessor Cundy.
TO DETERMINE VALUES

The annual meeting of county asses
sors will be held Friday, April 81, at
the Court House Annex, arranged for
by County Assessor R. L. Cundy. I'm
portant assessing questions will be
brought up at this meeting for the pur-
pose of determining values of equaliza-
ton.
A paper has been drawn up by Coun-
ty Assessor Cundy, in the form of a
QUESTIONABLE. The assessors will be
put through the nth degree on valua-
tions, especially on articles obviously
hard to determine. Primarily they in
clude cattle, horses, pigs, lands and
other farm property Farmers, as a
rule, are the biggest "kickers" on as
sessments, according to the assessors.
Other articles, besides lands and
livestock, which have given the asses
sors great deal of worry in the past,
owning to the difficulty experienced in
determining their true valuation, are
gasoline, cucumbers, merchants stock,
manufacturers stock, automobiles
railroad ties, sawlogs, cordwood, grain
in elevators; overhead carriers in de-
partment stores; dentists tools, doct-
or's tools, gasoline tanks on railroad
right of ways, property of telephone
companies, building on leased lands,
law libraries, poultry, bees, automobile
owned and used by pastor Of. church,
portable saw mills and thresHing out
fits.
1t is the aim Of the county as we'll
as state assessors to have true valua-
ton, placed on all properties. Com
petent assessors only can make this
possible, and it is for the purpose of
instructing the assessors and giving
them important tips that the annual
meetings are held.
