member of the legislature who wants to be fair.
That resolution demanded that the counties of
the state be given higher percentage|of the
fines collected in state cases.. It's an old ques-
ton and one remedy for which has many
times been sought That the counties should
do all the work connected with the prosecu-
ton of these state cases and the state take all
the money is far from an economic situation
The resolution adopted suggested that the
counties be allowed twenty instead of two per
cent of all fines collected. Of course, it will be
argued that the money goes into the school
fund and that some of it drifts back to the
counties, but it is certain that lot of it sticks
to the sides while drifting back.
We believe that the city of Kehosha and the
county of Kenosha should go the limit to
adopt an ordinance which will make prosecu-
tons of this kind properly under the city and
county ordinance. In this way the large bulk
of the fines collected can be kept in the county
or city treasury
A few courts in Wisconsin are self-suStain-
ing, but the great majority of them must have
large sums each year for routine expenses,
When we recall the grand jury Investigations in
Kenosha county of a short time ago we are con-
fronted with the fact that this investigation
cost Kenosha county something like $40, 1000
The state mouthed at even sending an assist
ant to aid in the trial of certain cases. and yet
the vast sums assessed as fines went into the
treasury of the state.
1t may be that the state would take this
money in some other way if it did not get it
as fines collected, but at least there would be
clear statement in the tax roll of where the
money came from and what it went for. Home
rule for cities and counties means the collection
of all fines assessed and the settlement with
the state for such amounts as it is proper for
the counties to pay in the way of state tax.
While the county boards are considering this
problem, they should also demand legislation
which would leave in the counties the money
collected from inheritance and income taxes.
Let the counties have the right to get the bene-
fits from the money paid in them and let the
state take the responsibility for assessing such
taxes as may be necessary for the maintenance
of the state organization and it's institutions.
The mixing up of these funds makes it too easy
for inequality and injustice in getting the cost
of state maintenance.

AVOIDING INFLUENZA.

According to latest reports mo cpl
demic of influenza is so far schedul-
ed for appearance this winter.
This acute infectious disease in
practically all cases involves the re-
spiratory tract, gastro-intestlnal canal
and in many persons the nervous sys-
tenn, together with a weakened heart
and reduced circulation. 1t is also met
with endemically lin certain localities
or peculiar to some classes of people,.
One must constantly be on guard to
stall off influenza during the germ
season (winter and early spring..
To escape it's devitalizlng attack
one should always avoid getting
chill, especially if one is not robust
with strong powers of endurance. Any
undue exposure during severe weather,
or going for hours with wet feet,
should be avoided.
The CASTRO intestinal tract must
be carefully attended to to avoid any
chance of intestinal poisoning. If the
digestive tract is kept in healthy
condition by sensible diet and plenty
of good drinking water, thus avoiding
attacks of constipation, one may be
tonsils and adenoid tissue, or poisons
from pus infection at the roots Of
teeth, may also weaken the system by
poisoning the life stream.
Your condition of resistance should
be constantly kept in mind to avoid
influenza Worry and nervous troubles
lower your vital powers and weaken
the endocrine system.
Beware of the least appearance of
sore throat or beginning dull head
ache. Don't let any such condition go
for even an hour if you can possibly
prevent it.
Be sure you get the full required
time of sleep. Don't overwork your
heart.
The weakened heart spells nervous
ailments. These may seriously affect
the kidneys and cause depression of
the glandular system.

RAILROADERS.

Nearly two million employees are on
the payrolls of the railroads. Including
their families, they represent about a
twelfth ofethe total population of the
country. For every II people, there's
one engaged directly in railroad
transportation, not counting people
who make railroad supplies.
The roads in 1928 loaded and moved
nearly so million cars of freight-or
about % ears for every employee, 1t
was the busiest year in history. Load
ings were a tenth more. than in 1920,

HOw Can a Poor
Man Get Ahead?

Kennth Baker, a. 16-year-old boy,
working in a garage in the Province OF
Ontario, Canada, few years ago,
learned unconsciously one step IN
Judging a sound investment security
His employer kept him so busy that
the boy had little time to spend his
earnings. Another reason for saving
was that he did not wish to be on the
defense against hard work all his life.
Daily in his work the boy learned
what accessories, articles and COM
modities were in most demand in the
automobile business. He saw which
companies apparently had successful
market for their products. He reason
ed that they must be making money.
Occasionally he bought share or two
of stock or 500 bond. He was parti-
cularly fortunate. He was, of course,
acting on very insufficient knowledge,
although, as far as it went, the boys
reasoning was sound. But it requires
high technical skill frequently aided
by engineers, accounts, chemists and
specialists to judge accurately the
worth of an enterprise and the value OF
its securities. To know that business
is sound. that it has no apparent or
probable economic weakness requires
much experience and judgment that is
not possessed by youth, or by adults
uniformed in the investment bus
mess.
However, this boy did select wisely,
through the application of one bit Ct
wisdom He reaped double reward
Handling products in which he had in
vested his own money put a better
spirit into his work, made him more
interested in his work. That feeling
confirmed Kenneth as a Capitalist"
but it didn't detract from his ability
as a workman.
Two years ago the foreman in the
garage found chance to buy another
garage that had excellent prospects.
He offered to hire young Baker.
Cant | be your partner?" Kenneth
asked. Give got nearly $4,000 in
securities that / can cash in and put
the money in the business"
"Why, that's all I'm putting in" re-
piled the foreman, land l expected to.

KISSES HIS MASTERS HAND.

Like faithful dog, Lieutenant Governor
Comings hurries to kiss the hand which cuffs
him. He hurries to say even if Senator La
Toilette is for Governor Blaine for reelection
for Governor, am for Senator Bob for Presi-
dent and for anything else he wants
The lieutenant governor wants it understood
that even though he may be the lamb led to the
slaughter he is going to be as dumb as sheep
before it's shearers. The lieutenant governor
probably never had time to consider just why
Senator LaFollette hurries to support Blaine
He possibly can not read between the lines the
personal interest in the action of the. senior
senator and the personal desire to forget his
friends in order to have just what he wants
Comings, of course, is fighting a losing bat
tie. Few of the real dyed-in-the- progress
sives want him as a candidate and certainly this
could be the only place he could expect to gath
er any strength from. Senator LaFollette has
no desire to hook up with loser and .undoubt-
eddy he would be just as willing to mot indi-
cate preference for Governor Blaine were he
not of the opinion that the governor, with four
years in office, has built up pretty strong cam
paign organization.
The action of the lieutenant governor is char
acteristic of the men who have supported La
Toilette. Their idea that the liking can do no
wrong" is the thing that has done more than
anything else to keep LaFolletteism in action
in the state. Intelligent consideration of con-
dition of candidates rarely enters into the way
in which these men respond to the crack of the
party and factional whip.
In one breath Comings accepts the dictation
of LaFollette and in the same breath he de-
clares his belief that the governor has be-
trayed the LaFollette cause.
After all, it is wonderful what strange freaks
politics of the brand played in Wisconsin pro-
duces.

TABOO.

"Pussyfoot" Johnson, putting long,
black cigar, is asked what he thinks
of the crusade against tobacco. He
says he's against prohibition of cigars,
for. he likes them, but wouldn't mind
ban on cigarets, which he dislikes.
In a nutshell, that's usually the
theory of prohibition of all kinds. A
person who doesn't drink is apt to be
against drinking by others. The per-
son who dislikes jazz is quite natur-
ally against it. Most of US would make
all laws for others, not ourselves.
The result is, we, have to be ruled
by the law of averages.

LOTTERY MAY SAVE CATHEDRAL.

Cologne Cologne's great cathedral
is being neglected because of the i'm

members to raise sufficient funds in
the Rhineland to keep the historic
building in repair.
Consequently an appeal aas been
made to the Prussian Ministry TO
grant permission for the establishment
of lottery from which money may be
raised to keep few workmen EN-
ployed on the building. The sandstone
is extremely fragile and needs con-
slant attention.

crease production. When output aver
ages 10000 cars day, the Journal
calculates, the company will be worth

was worth that much, even before he
began his big charity contributions to
