The River Falls Normal
School Building Request
by J. H. Ames

The need of q training school build
ing at the River Falls Normal
School has long been recognized. In
the past two sessions, the Board of
Regents has recommended to the
Legislature the construction of this
building, placing it first on the build
ing program proposed. Four years
ago the Legislature passed over the
Boards recommendation and made
am appropriation for a new wing to
the Whitewater building. Two years
apo the Joint Finance Committee of
the Legislature recommended a build
ing for the Oshkosh Normal, again
ignoring the position of River Falls
at the head Of the building program
recommended by the Board of Re-
gents. Both the Assenblyman and
the Senator from this district in
sisted that River Falls be included
In any building program passed upon
by the Legislature. As the entire APP
preparation bill for Normal Schools
failed at the last Legislative session,
nc buildings were granted for any Of
The schools.
The Board Of Regents recommend
ed buildings at River Falls and Osh-
kosh. This recommendation will be
presented to the Joint Finance Com
mittee of the Legislature in the near
future. The need for buildings at
these institutions will be urged upon
the Legislature. At the last session
the city Of Oshkosh made very de-
termined effort to secure an appro-
rriation for that school. Organiza-
tons of business and professional
men put on an extensive publicity
campaign; they brought the Joint
Finance Committee of the Legisla-
ture to Oshkosh to inspect the Nor
NAL School plant, and were able to
convince this committee of the need
Of building, securing the recommen-
dation as noted above.
The importance of training
school building for the River Falls
school cannot be over-estimated.
Present facilities for practice teach
ing are inadequate. Quarters for a
larger training school must be pro-
vided;s the Agriculture Department
has not been provided with suitable
laboratories and equipment; the
Science Department is now occupying
very limited space with greatly over
crowded conditions. 1t is impossible
for the school to continue the growth
and development of the past few
years without additional space and
improved equipment.
If the need for building at the
River Falls school is passed over at
this time for some other school more
favorably located as to population
center, it will be serious matter
| for the River Falls institution.
The opening of the Eau Claire
school eight years ago, seriously in
vaded the portion of the state which
had been tributary to the River Falls
| Normal as a teacher-t training institu.

What The Legislature Is
Doing, By Senator Hunt
OF The 10th District

Le.st Friday the highway commit
tees Of the Senate and the Assembly
presented the new highway bill to
legislature. This new. bill is the
elimination of the work Of the high
way commission, the governor and
the two committees on highways.
Tbs bill as presented calls for new
gasoline tax to support the present
automobile weight tax in raising
money to support the six year plan
of road construction.
Tae new feature Of the present
plan Is the gasoline tax of two cents
on each gallon. The tax is to be
levied Oh the wholesaler and the I'M
porter Of gasoline The income from
this tax plus the income from the
weight tax and the federal aid Of
$2,0q0,0C0 d year will build Wisconsin
many miles Of state highway in the
next six years without a penny Of
taxation on property and income.
Careful highway commission es-
Inmates show that under this plan
tie state will have in 1881 1850 miles
Of concrete roads, 5,156 miles Of full
depth gravel, 1,459 miles Of light
surfaced road and 535 miles of bit
luminous macadam There will be no
earth roads in 1881. The cost Of
such construction is enormous and
yet the present tax plan suggested
will take care of the cost easily.
This year we have 1900 miles Of
earth road on our state system, 4100
miles Of light surfaced, $500 miles of
full depth gravel, 1900 miles of con-
crete and 225 miles of bituminous
macadam. To reach the figures in
the foregoing paragraph the state
will raise $15,Oo0,0O0 in 1925. Of
this amount s4,880,OOO will come
from the proposed gasoline tax, 49,
10000 from the weight tax and ST.
100000 from federal aid.
Careful computation has shown
that at the end Of the six year period,
or in 1881 the weight tax will bring
$4,000 900 and the proposed gas tax
$780, 900. Adding the federal aid the
years income for roads amounts to.
s17, $780, o0. However not all this
sum finds its way into roads. The
state and treasury departments take
small share of the income; that
which is left is distributed to the
state, city, village, and rural roads.
Of the $4,000, 900 to be raised in
1896 $i4,5s2,o0 will be left for the
roads.
State trunk highways will receive
approximately S4,000,000 county
roads $1,450,000, village streets $751;
750, 4th class cities $4,000, Bird
class cities $146,0OO, End class cities
$4,000 and Milwaukee will receive
100000. About 100000 will be
spent marking highways and ST.,
100000 kept as a free fund.
OF the original $15,O00,00O there
Will be left Sf,45O,0OO Tor ulstrlDE-
ton among the counties on basis
Of auto registration and rural mile
age; one-third auto registration and
two-thirds rural mileage. This plan
Of distribution will favor the 10th
district but will be opposed by the
more densely populated courties and
the city of Milwaukee.

auditorium has chamrioned the
s&lse of the common people-carn-

For many years he has been a prom
inent member of the Cleveland bar
and is regarded as one of the success
sful lawyers of northern OhiJ. His
career in the legal profession has
been actuated by desire to battle
for the under dog" the dominating
motive throughout twenty-five years
of general practice in Ohio. The fire
of his enthusiasm, however, has
spread way out beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the courts. For the past three
years he has seen fit to steal away
to plead before his fellow being in the
court of public opinion-the common
people-and in the same sincere and
effective manner that he has pleaded
his eases before courts and iuries.
He has long been keenly interested
in the study of industrial and social
problems and it is only on account of
his laudable desire to enlarge the
scope of his activities that we have
been able to steal him away from his

Man Be Hard to Bottle

THE new immigration law was designed
l. among other things TO increase the
number of newcomers from northern
Europe and decrease the number from
southern Europe 1t seems to be having
that effect. England, in the first eight
months of operation under the new law,
has sent us 36,9s0 of her subjects. Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland combined have
sent S2.666. That exceeds the number
from all the rest of Europe combined, even
with Germany. France and Italy included,

That's what object to-
Now Wen see. Your true Britisher is
the real agitator. He believes in free
speech above all things. If these immi-
grants from the British isles bring their
ideas with them, they are going TO give
some of our 100 per centers bad time.
They are accustomed, when things don't
suit them, 10 mount soap box and tell
the world They've always had the privi-
lege of doing so at home. Every city in
England has a park or two principally
devoted to protest meetings against one
thing or another. No person and no insti-
tuition is immune. coal HEAVIER can rise
up and say what he thinks about the vii
lage constable or the Prince Of Wales.
There is nobody TO club him into silence.
In time, If what the coal HEAVIER says
reflects the views of the community,
reform may result. The coal heavens
wrath isn't bottled up to find eventual
expression in an exploding bomb.
For some years American authorities
have tended toward the bottling-up meth
cd and there have been number OF ex-
plosions in consequence. II might be inter-
esting to watch the effect of these pro-
cesses on our new infusion Of Anglo
Saxons.

Amt Nature WondertNL2

ND YOU ever, when n boy, set out, with
IL Cousin Tom and Cousin Jack. TO catch
particular sheep out of Uncle Bills flock?
You three boys went slowly, quietly to-
ward the sheep. so rs not TO brighten
them, and, pretty soon, you got them
packed in corner of the lot, and that
marked sheep looked easy picking. Then,
suddenly, one of the sheep made break.
You grabbed at him as he or she went
by and down you went, with your nose
in the dirt, and every last one of those 90
sheep went over you, many of them put
ting their sharp little feet in the small of
your back as they went. Same thing if
one sheep found hole in the fence. All
followed thru, tho they left wool and leg
skin on the edges of the hole.
A month ago the newspapers exploited
the big winnings of an old woman in the
Chicago grain pit Today, Chicago brokers
are complaining that their offices are
packed with women who want to buy in
the pit. what, they don't know or seem to
care They Just lay down their money on
something that is 81 today and may be

What one sheep can do another is bound
TO try And it goes without saying that,

shear.
