WOMAN BADLY INJURED
Mrs. E. D. Byram of Land O.
Lakes in Hospital Struck
by Lamont Car.

As a result Of being struck by
large car owned by Mrs. r. P. La
mont of West Bay lake west of
Land o Lakes, Mrs. E. D. Byram Of
that village is now in the Rhine
lander hospital suffering from a
double fracture of a leg and heavy
injuries when the Lamont car
struck her Friday as she was cross
ing the street in the village of
Land O Lakes.
From what can be CLEANED Mrs.
Byram was crossing the road a
block from the depot in Land O.
Lakes after dark. The Lamont car
Icing driven by the chauffeur was
coming to the village at a rate of
speed said to be beyond the state
or village laws. A slight curve
shut off his view and he was with
in short distance of the woman
before seeing her. She attempted
to get off the highway but was
caught by the rear fender as the
car swerved to escape hitting her,
thrown many feet and received the
above injuries. The impact was SO
great that the rear fender is said
to have been bent out of shape.
She was taken Immediately to
Rhinelander where late reports say
she is in no danger.

REALTY MEN ORGANIZE
Call Meeting for Next Mon
day at Oneida Hotel in
Rhinelander.

Next Tuesday, August 18th, a
dinner meeting will be held at the
Oneida hotel in Rhinelander. Pro
areSsive Oneida and Villas county
real estate brokers will be present
with the view of organizing a
ViIas-Oneida County Real Estate
Brokers Board. The executive
officers of the Wisconsin Real Es-
tate Brokers Association will be in
charge Of the organizing, and it is
the hone of those present to organ
i've q very strong Board of Villas
and Oneida county real estate
brokers.
For some time past some of the
local real estate men have been
irving 10 organize a Villas County
Brokers Board, but not having
many brokers devoting their full
time to real estate, and because of
the lack Of interest in their own
business, it was impossible to or
eanize this board Oneida county
seemed to have the same trouble.
So it was decided by the officers of
the Wisconsin Real Estate Brokers
Association that it would be best
to combine these two counties ana
organize one strong board to take
care Of this lake region.
In a letter from P. 0. Powell,
Executive Secretary, from Milwau-
koe, to J. F. Habrich, Mr.. Powell
states and shows very clearly that
it is absolutely necessary and very
important for the benefit of the
public to organize a board of re-
liable men to safeguard the inter-
ests Of the public and to protect
the buyers, because this lake region
is beginning to play large part
in the real estate business, espec-
tally lake frontage, and once the
board is organized, rules will be
set in regard to the commission
and other transactions with the
public, and every member of the
board is bound to promote and
maintain the high standards of
conduct in the transaction of the
real estate business expressed in
the code Of ethics formulated by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, and to enforce that
code among it's members in their
dealings with the public, and to
advance the civic development and
the economic growth of the com
Upper Wisconsin is just begin
ming to boom, and our wealth in
the lake and timber regions is just
to unfold.

Let Reason Rule.

1t became evident some time ago
that the buncombe about taxing
the rich" had failed. More and
more it is understood that the
high-fying surtax and estate tax
rates largely miss their mark and
their reduction would be a general
benefit.
1t seems fairly assured that sur
taxes will be reduced to 20 or 25
per cent In the next session of con-
gress and income taxes may be en-
tirely abolished in the lower brack-
cts.
Excessive Federal estate taxes
on larger estates act In exactly the
same manner as excessive Federal
surtaxes. 1t is therefore, obvious
that reasons for reducing either APP
ply with equal force to the other.

year after elected The old Congress- how
ever proceeds to have one more session, begin
ming in December of the same year and con-
tinuing until March This is what is called the
short session.
1t is in this short session that most Of the
ilibusters of which Dawes complains, occur
The shortness of the session makes them pos
sible.
But, if we read the vociferous " P. cor
rectly, the Norris plan is unlikely to appeal to
him. He is bent on curbing the Senate, bring
ing it to the heel of the President or, at least,
making the Senate take it's orders from the

would check flibustering, but i wouldn It
hand the legislative branch of the government
over to the executive branch, as Dawes seems
to desire. 1t would have the opposite effect,
for it would put an end to lame duck govern
ment.
Lame ducks are those members Of Con
gress who sit through the short session, after
having been defeated at the polls.
Every four years Washington witnesses
the spectacle Of lame duck statesmen. repudi-
ated by their constituents voting blindly to
please the White House. They throw over
board their own opinions and their self-respect
to win the favor Of the President. They are
looking for jobs. Many times the will of the
Senate has been defeated in this manner.
There would be no lame duck sessions if
the Norris amendment should come to pass.
But it is too much to expect that Dawes will
join in the effort to bring it about.

The Lame Duck

n is unlikely that Vice President Dawes
III will listen to the suggestion of Senators
Moses, George and others that he put his
voice behind the Norris plan if he really wishes
to expedite the business of the United States
Senate. The Norris plan provides for amend
ing the Constitution so that the short hold
over sessions of Congress would be eliminated.

ing menaced districts and giving
them an opportunity to build wisely,
the Geodetic Survey will make little
effort to learn how to predict the
exact time Of earthquakes, fearing
that such prediction would dis
organize life to an unreasonable ex-

the department believes, permitting
vessels to go to sea and shore
dwellers to move from positions
nenaced by the waves.
The theory that volcanic action or
falls Of rock in great subterranean
caverns cause all quakes has now
been discarded by scientists. At
present, the most widely accepted
theory places the blame upon faults
or cracks In the earth's surface
caused by great strain from un
known internal forces. After the
fault has occurred, the two parts
slip either horizontally or vertically.
1t has been proved also that there
is a connection between earthquakes
in the sea and the deep ocean
troughs existing off the coasts OF
Japan, of the Philippines, OF
Jamaica, and OF Mexico and Central
America.

Labor Injunctions
Going Out

F1HE attitude of the Federal courts toward
labor injunctions is becoming more ra-
tional
Federal Judge Baker in West Virginia
has just ruled that in the future his court will
not issue temporary restraining orders until
the defendants have had an opportunity to
answer the complaint; that the plaintiff will
be required to file a bill of particulars and the
defendants shall have the right to inspect and
answer them.
The ruling was made in connection with
the courts decision that peaceful persuasion of
miners to join the union is not violation of
an injunction issued by the Federal court back
in 1913
Henry Warrum Of Indianapolis, chief
counsel for the United Mine Workers, declared
the court s decision was the greatest victory
ever won by the miners. 1t certainly marks a
change in West Virginia. There the operators
had been accustomed to obtain injunctions just
for the asking and to use their own police in
arresting officers and members Of the union for
alleged violations of the order.
Judge Baltzell in Federal Court last week
took position similar to that of Judge Baker.
He refused to issue a temporary restraining
order against coal miners in Indiana saying
none could be issued until the defendants had
had chance to be heard
If this sort of clear thinking becomes gen
eral among Federal judges, presently the in
junction may be reduced to educ process of
aw'-after having been for years much more
than that.

DUTIES OF

never raise the tariff on potash.
President Coolidge should put the
screws to France and Germany in
every possible way to stop the ex-
tortion of that combine of French
and German potash monopolists
which makes the price so high.
The slogan Of the farmers should
be:
Spare no money to develop the
Texas field; give us free potash from
France and Germany and stop the
robbery by, the European potash
combine"
Some of Mr.. Coolidge's railway
specialists might look into the
freight rates on fertilizers. We
have talked enough about doing
something for the farmers. 1t is
time for a showdown on these very
practical things.

IWl Human ingenuity probably
S--Z will never be able to prevent
earthquakes. but at least 1t can do
much to make them harmless, the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey believes.
Accordingly 1t has determined to
put aside the ancient attitude Of
fatalism toward earth shocks and
face the problem Of making 1t
possible for earthquakes to occur
with the least possible damage and
loss of life.

This work has been started by e.

A month ago similar warnings

Motorists are not always to

Ever since the Palace installed its
big organ, with the exception of
about three months. Miss Justine
Herder has presided at the pipe or
gan.
She has more to do than just pre-
side at the organ during the show
ing of the movie part of the pro-
gram. Before a picture is presented
at the Palace Miss Herder and the
musical director must not only look
at the picture. but must score 1t.
In this way. the pipe organ music
each week follows the tempo OF the
movie. Music is selected that will
reflect the mood of the various
scenes.
In this way. the organ builds up
additional atmosphere. which aids in
putting over the movies at this the
alter. II one stops to consider for
a second. he will arrive at the con-
clusion that the organist must be a
regular walking musical library. And
that Is true.
This makes II necessary for her
to be ready to play hundreds of the
standard numbers as wei as new
hits. A Jazz scene must have jazz
music. and a dramatic scene often
invites classical music.
The need Of appropriate organ
music has resulted in the Palace
building up a valuable organ H.
brary, as well as orchestral. 1t costs
lots Of money to put music to pic
lures. But this is absolutely neces-
sary in the modern vaudeville and
movie theater.
