Norfolk Sees Benefit
In Appropriations
For Navy
BY International News Service.

by AMteGmM0tBMNA MOVIE SpEVANOs
NORFOLK, Va, Oct. S0.-H
navy appropriation bills, already
passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives, are approved by the
Senate at its next session,
things are expected to boom at
the Norfolk navy yard, it is
said here.
It costs almost 100000 to
bring battleship up to fight
ing trim, and it is said here
that the local yard, where al
most 5000 men already are
employed, would get at least
one repair job and possibly
more.
Some fear is expressed by
navy yard employees and mer-
chants that after election day
a number of men will be dis
missed. Navy yard officials
declined to discuss this matter
today.

tors, therefore, If all the proceed
ing calculations are put together,
will be found to work out toward
the following probability:
This number-the number Of
Senators really new and really,
therefore, possibly upsetting- can
not possibly exceed twenty-four and
is extremely likely not to approach
twenty.
This is putting it ct its most
favorable calculation for the new
men.
New Men Considered.
Finally. though. let us consider
the new men.
In Minnesota Tom Schall, RepRb.
lican, thinks he will defeat Senator
Magnus johnson, Farmer-Laborite.
johnson is q radical. Schall is
what might be called restrained
radical. He is at this moment a
member Of the House Of Representa-
tives. We have had Johnson in
washington. We have had Schall.
No matter which one Of them wins,
in Minnesota, the difference to
washington will not be great.
Then consider Illinois. In Illinois
two new men are running against
each other for Senator. One Is
the Republican, Deneen. The other
is the Democrat, Sprague. Deneen
was governor of Illinois. He has
had long experience in public life.
He has never carried torches.
Sprague is the commissioner of
publis workes in Chicago. He was
a notable officer in the war. He
Is rich. He Is less in sympathy
with President Coolidge's ideas than
Deneen is, but he would bring to
Washington no slightest impulse to-
ward revolution.
The new Senatorial skies can be
scanned in vain for any great flock
of revolutionary comets, about to
whirl into Washington.
Move Toward PrOgressivism.
There may be a slight change
toward little more ''progressiv.
ISM" There may, on the other
hand, be a slight change toward a
little more Conservatism, because,
for instance, the conservative
Republican Gillett may defeat the
progressive Democrat Walsh in
Massachusetts.
In any case, however, the change
either way will hardly be visible
afterward to the country as 1t goes
about its. business.
Certainly, in any genuine sense
of the word Revolutionary" the
next Senate will at least be not
any more revolutionary than the
present one. The absolutely sure
prospect Is that we shall have
simply more Of the Senatorial
same.
There then remains just one fur.
Their point to be examined.
That is the effort of the La Fol-
lettites to put new men into the
House of representatives. The next
article will examine it.

Special Election for New
Sewers Next Tuesday
ADDITIONAL LEVY WILL MAKE
NEW SYSTEM PRACTICALLY
COMPLETE

A special election will be held in
Eagle River on May 9Th for the pur-
pose of deciding whether the taxpay-
ers are in favor of voting an addition
al tax levy of one per cent to extend
the sewer system now under way. Last
year the voters voted to do so and the
result was the laying of the new sys-
tenn on several streets. Other portions
of town need the service as well and
it is estimated that by continuing the
same rate Of taxation as last year that
practically all of the village on this
side Of the river can be connected or
nearly so. It would be so nearly COM
pleted that in the future extensions
could be made from the general fund
of the village
The growth of Eagle River for the
past few years has been rapid and
covers all portions of the village and
people who spend thousands of dollars
in building new homes are justified in
wanting the modern conveniences
that their neighbors who have lived in
the old district have enjoyed for years
There is a great deal of reason to
think that within short time the vii
lage revenues will be sufficient to
make all necessary improvements
without resort to raising the tax rate
but at present it is necessary to levy
an extra tax if the improvements are
to be made. We believe that in view
of all of the circumstances that Eagle
River taxpayers will vote for their
best interests in voting to pay one per
cent additional this year and tie up
the portions of town not supplied with
sewers with the rest of the system.

ChiIdren's Home Society
Carries on Good Work
PLACES NEEDY CHILDREN IN
GOOD HOMES WHERE CONDl-
TloNs ARE OF BEST

May 1st has been set aside as child
welfare day in America. Information
emphasizing the Importance of child
welfare work will be disseminated
through agencies everywhere working
for the good of the American child.
THE CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY,
Of Wisconsin, which is the leading
child welfare agency in the state,
wants to give out the following in
formation about its work
The Children's Home Society of
Wisconsin was founded in 1892 by Rev
]. p. Dysart, D. D. The object in found
ing the society was to Keep the chill
dren out of institutions" and place
them in family homes where they
might have the advantages of moth
er's love, a fathers protection, and
family home where they might grow
and develop without handicap.
Since that time, ideals in child well
fare and child placing have undergone
Hlduy CldASCo3 Jul IAO OA41uAOA .
Home Society has striven to keep
abreast of the times IN all that was
for the welfare of the children.
Up to the present time, we have
taken 4,128 children for adoption, and
we have given aid to many more that
needed temporary homes while their
own homes were being reestablished
that they might return to them
THE PURPOSE OF THIS SOCIETY
1. To care for any dependent, ne
elected, or homeless child in Wiscon
sin, regardless of race, age, or relig-
ion.
2. To investigate the family condi-
tions back of the child, and to help
in the reestablishment of its natural
home with its own people if possible.
8. To provide medical examination
and care for these children so that
they may not be handicapped physi-
cally in their struggle. for existence.
4. To provide good Christian homes
for those who must be placed out in
foster-homes.
5. To visit the foster homes and aid
in adjusting the new family ties, thus
insuring an environment best suited
to the development Of the child's char
acter.
During the year 1923, we have hand
led 4O3 new cases, have given medical
aid to 1873, have placed out for a6op-
ton 49,, ald we are supervising at
the present time 236. The State offices
are in Milwaukee, 423 M & M Bank
Building. Dr. w. B. Hill is the State
superintendent. Rev. Fred; Dahlberg
Ladysmith, is the District superinten
dent Notify any of the agents Of the
society if there is work for it to do.
There are children everywhere that
are neglected. There are good homes
in nearly every town who want to
adopt children. Let us all do what we
can for Homeless and Neglected chill
dren in Wisconsin.

Huston Thompson, Chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission, tes-
titles that the Commission tried for
a year to get Attorney General
Daugherty to start criminal prose-
cution of the Tobacco Trust, on
evidence collected, but had been
unable to get even an answer from
the Department of Justice. The
Wheeler Committee is now investi-
eating the charge that Daugherty's
old law firm was attorney for the
American Tobacco Company.

Daugherty Sat Silent
When Action Was Need
TOBACCO TRUST PERMITTED TO
GoUGE EoTH THE GROWERS
AND CONSUMERS
By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD

Disclosures before the special Sen
ate Committee investigating the opera
tions of the Department of Justice un-
der Attorney General Daugherty final
~ confirm statements made months
ago to the effect that any effort to
stop the exploitation of either the to-
bacco growers or the nonassuming pub
lie would belquite futile under Daugh-
erty's administration.
1t is now known that, the Federal
Trade Commission has been made sew
eral attempts to have the Department
of Justice modify decree so as to re-
strict certain operations by the tobac-
co companies to hold down the price
paid for raw material to the grower
and yet keep up the prices charged
the consumer. Every such attempt,
however, has been blocked and ignor-
ed.
Huston Thompson, chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission, was the
chief witness before the Investigating
committee when tobacco was dragged
into the sunlight in the place of oil.
Thompson testified that the last
case the Commission had sent to the
Department of Justice in the hope of
getting criminal prosecution was one
involving The American Tobacco Com
pany and the Lorillard Company. This
was as far back as 1922.
The first complaint submitted in de-
tail and accompanied by a letter of
complete explanation was utterly ig-
nored by the Department of Justice.
A second letter followed and again not
even the courtesy of an acknowledge
ment was received by the Federal
Trade Commission
The complaint was for alleged viola
ton of the Sherman Antitrust law.
There was no lack of evidence upon
which to base proceeding. However
it was impossible for the Commission
to get action of any kind until the
Keller impeachment proceedings
against Daagherty were started Then
saIlsed little more inter-
asted in the tobacco situation. He
even sent some attorneys from the de-
partment to confer with the Trade
Commission, but even after that moth
ing resulted. Every tobacco case re-
NAMED unprecedented.
Senator Wheeler caused a laugh
when at this point he said, Well, the
Keller investigation did some good,
then, after all
Thompson's testimony links the
former attorney general with neglect
of duty and wrongdoing more thor
oughly than any evidence that has yet
been produced The expectation is
that as the tobacco probe proceeds
further inactivity will be disclosed for
there are a great many cases pending
against the tobacco companies in
which so far the Commission knows
absolutely nothing has been done.
The Committee is now seeking the
reason why Daugherty failed, neglect
ed and refused to prosecute the Tobac
co Trust.
Charges have been made that Daugh
erty's old law firm over IN Ohio was
attorney for the American Tobacco Co.
and the Committee seeks to determine
if that was the cause of Daugherty's
failure to prosecute.
The spotlight will next turn on the
new Acknowledgement Stone, to see
what action, if any, he will institute
to protect the tobacco growers on the
one hand and the tobacco consuming
public on the other, as against the To
bacco Trust.

Last year at special election you decid
edin favor of a one per cent increase in the
corporation tax for the purpose of build
ing necessary sewers. That one per cent,
amounting to approximately $1,000 to-
gether with the special assessment from
property holders benefited by the new
sewers, and what money was available in
the general fund.- amounted to about $780,
000 which has been expended upon sewers
already laid and to be laid within the next
few weeks.
There the project must stop unless the
electors sanction it's continuance by voting
the additional one per cent levy for 1924
VILLAGE EXPENSES LEAVE

$1,000, using last years valuation as
basis Village expenses for the current
year, with the strictest economy in all de
partments, will amount to $4,000, leaving
at the most, $4,000 for new sewers or
other improvements. Two thousand dol
lars will construct but little new sewer.
CALL SPECIAL ELECTION

A special election to decide whether the
sewer project shall be continued has been
called for Tuesday, May 9th. IF the voters
