REDUCE RATES
In FORTY CITIES
Railroad Commission Hands Down
Decision Changing Electric
Rate Schedules.

Madison, Wis.-The state railroad
commission today issued an order ap-
proving tentatively, the proposed cleo
forty Wisconsin cities and towns serv-
ed by the Wisconsin-Mi Minnesota Light
and Power company submitted to 1t
recently in stipulations by the COM
pany and the towns.
The rates as approved represent q
considerable reduction over rates IN
force in 1920 when the Wisconsin
Minnesota rate controversy began, ac-
cording to the commission. 1t is es-
timated that approximately 100000
will be saved annually to subscribers
of the company under the reduction.
Approximately 100000 will be saved
to the cities of Chippewa Falls, Eau
Claire, Lacrosse, Menomonie and
Neillsville, the five towns included in
the original stipulation.
The commission will retain jurisdic-
ton of the rates for several months,
it announced, and make a check of the
results of the new rates. Rural service
rates will be further investigated be-
fore final orders are issued.
The order probably finally settles
dispute which was the subject of
state and federal court review, result
ing from orders of the railroad COM
mission in 1920 when reductions were
directed. The state supreme court
over-ruled the state commission in it's
orders.

Oshkosh Citizen
Likes the Plan
Citizen From Oshkosh Writes to City
Manager for Copy of Letter
to Taxpayers.

City Manager C. M. Osborn received
an interesting letter today from an
Oshkosh citizen who had heard that a
letter was being sent out to taxpayers
here telling how the money collected
by taxes was to be expended during
the coming year. The Oshkosh citizen
asks for copy of the letter stating
that he will present it to the Oshkosh
administration in the hopes that a
similar letter will be sent out there.
The Oshkosh citizen seems to think
that it is a splendid idea to send out
a letter telling the taxpayers some of
the problems which are before the city
administration in the taxation line and
the methods which are being used to
meet them.

profitable, and that he wished to ex-
press his appreciation for the coop
Grafton of other county officials. Mr..
Kuehnls statement follows:
KuehnPs Statement.
81 plan on resigning my position as
assistant district attorney on January
10th, 1924, when the county board
meets. I will do all I can to keep the
office in running order so that the
change in officials can be made with
out any material injury to the public.
"There are a great many cases now
pending, and the new incumbent will
have to Immediately acquaint himself
with these cases.
81 have enjoyed my work as assist
ant to the district attorney. l will re-
sumo my private practice with view
to specializing in criminal law"
At noon today Frank Symmonds was
still officially district attorney of Ke-
nosha county. A second conference
was held late yesterday between Judge
E. B. Belden and l.. E. Vaudreuil, at
torney for Morris Barnett, and further
changes were ordered by the court in
the findings of fact and conclusions of
law.
Expect Court Signature.
Calvin Stewart stated that Mr.. Vau-
dreuil would go to Racine this after
noon with the revised documents
which it is expected will be signed
by Judge Belden. The only techni-
cality which will then remain in max
ing the change in prosecutors office
will be the filing of the papers with
George Stevens, clerk of court, and
the signature Of the clerk on the
judgment.
Whether the papers can be signed
today in time TO get them under the
line at the clerks office is a question
which none of the interested parties
would comment on. They declared,
however, that there was no question
but what Mr.. Barnett would be func-
tioning by noon no Monday.
Mr.. Barnett stated today that he had
not considered the matter of naming
an assistant to take the place of Mr..
Kuehnl. He said that he had Just
learned of Mr.. Kuehnl's intention of
resigning the post, and added that the
matter of his successor was one that
would require consideration.

EVERY RACE HORSE
is A YEAR OLDER
New Year Brings Birthday to Every
Registered Race Horse in
Racine Circles.

Chicago.---In each Of the $500 stables
housing a thoroughbred horse there
was the occasion for birthday cele-
bration today. For the new year has
brought with it an addition to the age
of every one of this country's race
horses, regardless of the time of foal-
ing. Thus Zev, the greatest of 1928
3-year-olds entered the four-year-o d
handicap class today, because of the
arbitrary birthday of horses, estab-
lished to bring uniformity of ages for
classification 70 the racers. Likewise,
In Memoriam and Ny Own took on an
added year and became 4-year-olds.
There were many colts who entered
the yearling class though barely able
to be away from their mothers. A
class of nearly 800 yearlings became
2-year-old and will get the first COM
retition of their lives during the COM
ing season. 1t is explained by follow
ers of the turf that the uniform horse
birthday was long ago established in
order to make classification of race
horses more uniform.

Milk Producers and Mar
keting Assn. May Form
Close Union.
TO DIVIDE THE SALES
Flat Rate for Milk Year Round
Demand Made Upon Big
Wholesale Dealers.

The Milk Producers association and
the Milk Producers Marketing assocl-
alton which have been at loggerheaos
for a number of years have declared
an armistice and representatives OF
the two organizations are holding SEES
sions in Chicago with view OF md
ing a way to sign peace treaty when
will make it possible for both of the
organizations to better function for
the benefit of the farmers.
Several meetings of the joint COM
mittees have held and it was declared
on Friday evening by Frank T. Holt,
the president of the Milk Producers
association, that the dove of peace
was lowering near and that it appear
ed certain that an agreement would be
reached.
Would Divide Milk Business.
The two companies handle nearly all
of the milk produced in the Chicago
district and the plan which is being
worked out would divide the business
The Milk Producers Marketing associ-
alton dealing with the big milk fac
tories and the Milk Producers associ-
alton taking over the domestic supply
to dealers dealing with the homes in
the district.
The plan suggests the making of an
all year price for milk without the
Quotations which have caused so much
trouble in other years.
The committees representing the or
CARNATIONS have suggested that the
present price of milk be maintained
during the coming year. This sugges-
ton has been ignored by some of the
large dealers in Chicago and they are
now seeking contracts with farmers
in Kenosha county and other counties
in the Chicago district.
Put it Up to Farmers.
I'VE are urging the farmers not to
be stampeded into accepting the con-
tracts offered by these companies"
said President Holt in discussing the
matter today. "It's the old fight of
these men trying to break up the or
CARNATIONS among the producers and
we are hopeful that the farmers will
see the desirability of hanging togeth-
er under the auspices of their associa-
tions and not offering divided front
in the matter. We do not believe that
the changes in the price of milk from
month to month have ever been re-
fiected in the price paid by the con-
sumner and we believe that a fiat price
which would give the farmer the cost of
the production of the milk would be a
production of the milk would be a
much fairer solution. The plans for
the adjustment of the differences of
the two associations are going forward
rapidly and we plan federation which
will take over the business of both or
CARNATIONS"

URGE TEACHERS
TO HIGHER WORK
Superintendent Would Re-
quire Two Years Beyond
High School Work.
PART OF PLATFORM

Madison. Wis. = A minimum acade-
mic and professional education of two
wears beyond high school graduation
for every elementary teacher IN WIS
consin is favored by John Callahan,
state superintendent of education. This
is one of the state departments
splanks" in its educational program.
Superintendent Callahan recently
discussed his proposal of a state pub
lie school fund of S1O,000,O00 so dis
tributed that each community can fur
nish adequate educational facilities for
every child. Regarding his second
proposal he said today:
wisconsin has over $4,000 elemen-
tary school teachers. Six thousand
five hundred of them teach in one-room
rural schools. One thousand eight
hundred teach in state graded schools
usually of two or three departments.
One thousand four hundred are found
in the village schools under the juris-
diction of county superintendent, and
$500 are city grade teachers.
Line Eight Miles Long.
eff these teachers stood in long
line three feet apart, the leader of the
line would be eight miles from the
last teacher. If they were so arranged,
placing the teacher with the least
amount of academic and professional
preparation at the bottom of the line
and the one with the best pr, Paration
at the head, we would find 62 teachers
who had never attended school beyond
81 do I1Yhn hoH
pleted the first year of high school;
900 teachers with two years of train
ing beyond the eighth grade; 1900
teachers with three years of training
of high school grade. Then would
come two miles of teachers who are
high school graduates or the equiva-
lent. In the end, we would find 5000
teachers who are not adequately pre-
pared. Over 5000 of them are in ru-
raj schools, about 1900 in state grad
cd schools, 600 in village schools and
nearly 800 in city schools. This shows
that ninety-two per cent of our rural
school teachers have less than two
years of training beyond high school.
Would Advance Standard.
Teachers in our elementary schools,
wherever located, should have such a
minimal professional and academic
training as will qualify them to give
to the children of the state that equal
ity of educational opportunity that
adequate teaching preparation can in
sure. This minimal training should be
the equivalent to graduation.
s'This standard for rural teachers we
cannot reach for some time to come.
1t should be striven for through GER
LITIGATION, legislation, consolidation of
schools, and the frightening of rural
teachers courses in our training insti-
buttons. The renewal of certificates
for those teachers now in service
whose training falls short of the
standard should be conditioned upon
further schooling in summer courses.
The extension division of the univer-
sity and the normal schools through
correspondence courses and field teach
ers should meet the educational needs
Of these teachers"

Morris Barnett is today district at
torney of Kenosha county.
The filing of the judgment with the
clerk of courts here late Saturday
marked the closing of one of the most
bitterly contested election battles in
the history of Wisconsin. History,
that will probably never again be
equalled, has been made during the
past year while the legal machinery of
the state has been forced to split hairs
and weigh the merits of the two con-
testants on its finest scales.
After an absence of just seven
months the official files were moved
to his present office at 1876 Main street
GLOWING the signing of the conclusions
of law and finding of fact by Judge E.
B. Belden. The documents were taken
to Racine for the courts signature by
Attorney l.. E. Vaudreuil, after which
the judgment was rushed to the court
house here.
With the signature of George Stew
lens, clerk of courts, the change in Of
ficials became legal and Mr.. Barnett
automatically became district attorney
again. Ten minutes later a drayman
moved the official files from the office
sof Frank Symmonds, in the Dale build
ing to the Main street address.
Issues First Warrant.
+, Mr.. Barnetts first official act as
prosecutor was performed early today,
when upon the complaint of Detective
Charles Rock, he ordered Lilly Nelson
his stenographer to issue a warrant for
Alphonso Horocheena, charging him
with illegal possession of moonshine.
Then in rapid succession other war
rants for Joe Mergelis on a similar
count, for Lewis Klanczewicz for de-
struction of evidence and for James
Grevnow for vagrancy, were ordered.
AS a by-product of the shift in Of
ficials the question as to the location
of the district attorneys office came
up today. When Mr.. Barnett received
the certificate following the election,
the county, at his request, took out a
lease on the Main street offices in
which he had been practicing.
With the naming of Mr.. Symmonds
last June the county was confronted
with finding a second location, or GUST
ing Mr.. Barnette from his old offices.
The problem was solved that time by
the county's leasing the Dale building
offices which have been occupied by Mr..
Symmonds, upon Mr.. Barnett's agree
ment to assume all, responsibility for
the old location.
SymmOnds Moves Offices.
Because the term has only one year
yet to run, Mr.. Barnett is anxious to
remain in his present offices. II was
at first thought that it might be ar
ranged with Mr.. Symmonds to keep
the county offices in the Dale build
ing. Mr.. Symmonds, however, refused
to remain in them because of the fact
that it would be necessary to pay rent
on the entire suite, where there was
more room than he would need.
Consequently Mr.. Symmonds moved
across the hall today taking rooms Ia
and Is, leaving the county offices va
cant. These offices are held on a
lease scheduled to run until quarters
in the new courthouse are ready. Mr..
Barnett will take the matter up with
Charles Holderness, county clerk some
time later today, he stated

Life Insurance to
Reach New Record
Life Insurance Written in State Last
Year to be Over the $200,000,000
Mark.

Madison.-Life insurance written by
legal reserve insurance companies in
Wisconsin will exceed the $200,000,0 900
mark for the year 1928, according to
estimates prepared by w. Stanley
Smith, state commissioner of insur-
ance. The total first year and renew
al premiums for life insurance of all
forms paid by citizens Of the state
will be twice the amount expended for
fire protection-about $36,000,000, the
commissioned declared. Lower mortal
ity will be recorded for the year and
increased dividends for 1924, it was
said.
''The fire insurance companies will
show a normal increase in premiums"
Commissioner Smith declared. "The
business transacted in the state by
fire companies is estimated at about
$18,000,000 of premiums. Companies
will not report abnormal loss ratios
and should show a profit from the
banking end of the business. The one
disturbance for the year in fire under
writing has been the separation rule
and fire agents commissions.
Premiums on all lines of casualty
insurance for 1923 are estimated at
$13,000,000, with workman's compen-
sation as q major line aggregating
more than $4,5o0,000. The automobile
insurance business will show fair in
crease in volume. The Wisconsin pre-
miums are estimated at over $4,000
000
Citizens Of the state spend annually
S6Y,000,000 for all forms of insurance
protection"
Commissioner Smith also reported
an increase in insurance in the state
fire and life funds.
