JUDGES GIVE
OUT DECISION
Pick Winning Title From
More Than 1000 Sub
mitted to Them.
AWARD IS DIVIDED
Three Submitted Prize Winning
Slogan and Award Is There
fore Divided Among Them.

"Kenosha- Better City" is the
slogan which has been selected by the
Judges as the winner of the contest
spoons ored by the Kenosha Civic Coun-
Gil to secure city slogan for Keno
sha.
Announcement Of the prize winning
slogan was made this morning by the
Judges, who selected this out of more
than two thousand slogans which were
submitted by three persons and for
that reason the cash award of $50 is
to be divided equally among them.
These three winners arc: Reverend
Benjamin j. Johnson, o57 South Ly-
man avenue; Miss Mary A. Bures, 1858
Selma avenue; Mrs. John Kueny, $50
Prairie street. To each of these a
check for $16.67 was sent at noon to-
day by Robert M. Smith, secretary of
the Kenosha Civic Council.
Judges Had Big Task.
The judges in the contest were H.
L. Bullamore, Peter Rhode and R. S.
Kingsley. They have spent many
hours in going over the many slogans
which were submitted and have Sc
lected the one, named above, as most
suitable in that it presents slogan
which may be used indefinitely.
The contest for city slogan was
launched by the Kenosha Civic Coun-
Gil shortly after Kenosha was named
winner of the Better Cities contest,
carried on during the past year in
Wisconsin. The winning slogan re-
fers somewhat to this contest as did
many others which were submitted.
Many Good Slogans.
The judges in announcing their de-
cision stated that there were many
good slogans and the problem was to
select the one which appeared to them
to be the best and the most suitable
for use over a long period of years.
Some of the other slogans which re-
ceived most favorable consideration
were: Kenosha, Best by Test; Keno
sha, The City of Opportunity; Keno
sha, The City of Better Opportunities;
Kenosha, Best in Civic Test; The Best
of Better Cities; Kelosha, A Better
City; First and Best in Every Test;
The City of Homes, Health and Hap
piness; Better Every Day in Every
Way; Best in State, Right at Gate;
Kenosha, the City of Merit and op-
portunity.
Now that the slogan has been Sc.
lected, all Kenoshans are urged tc
make use of it on their stationery and
help in every way to establish it not
only in Kenosha, but throughout the
entire country.

HAVE PRECEDENT
| IN OLEO CASES
Claim Penn. Law Furnishes
Precedent for Oleo Bill
In Wisconsin.
CLAIM OF DECEIT

Madison, Wis. - - Prohibition
Of oleomargarine in Pennsylvania is
relied upon by the state of Wiscon-
sin as a precedent in defending the
latter's new law barring oleomarga-
rine containing milk or milk products.
Even considering the enactment in
Wisconsin as amounting to prohibi-
ton of oleomargarine, it must be sus-
tanned, Attorney General Herman L.
Ekern and his deputy, C. A. Erickson,
declared before Circuit Judge A. 9.
Hoppman, who has taken under adj
visement the cases in which manu-
facturers, and dealers attack the
validity Of the law.
"The decision of the supreme court
of the United States in Powell Y.
Pennsylvania which upheld COM
plete prohibition of oleogarmarine in
the state of Pennsylvania remains
firm and mistaken" the attorney
general argued. ct has been APP
proved by the supreme court of the
United States as recently as 1914 and
by the federal court as recently as
1921. The decision of this court
should be followed by other courts. :"
Use Milk as Imitation.
Declaring that the use of milk to
initiate the flavor of butter leads to
Misrepresentation, the attorney gem
eral contends that the anti-oleomarga-
rine legislation is valid under the
police power of the state. He urged
that the judiciary should not set
aside the enactment of coordinate
branch of the government"
The margarine interests argued
that there was no legitimate basis for
the law, and that it represented an
attempt to destroy the oleomargarine
industry for the benefit of the dairy
industry.
.'It has not been shown that milk is
necessary in order to manufacture
oleomargarine or spread for bread"
the state contends "In fact it is es-
tablished that other emulsifying
agents could be used. Milk products
are used in studied attempt to imI-
tate the flavor of butter. Imitation
of flavor is as much of a fraud as
imitation Of color.
Not a Dairy Product.
cit is further established that milk
and milk products are used as the
basis for fraudulent, misleading, and
deceitfuI advertising, which conveys
to the public the idea that oleomarga-
rien is dairy product and milk
product. AS long as milk is used in
the manufacture, just 50 long can
advertisers convey the idea that oleo-
margarine is what it is not, namely,
dairy product. This mis- eads the
public and is sufficient ground upon
which to justify the legislation. 1t
also presents case OF unfair COM
petition with the dairy industry and
creates a false impression regarding
dairy products. This also jusfesi
dairy products. This also justifies
legislation to protect the public well
fare, since Wisconsin is the greatest
dairy state in the union. No ques-
ton of one business destroying an
other arises in the case. This repre-
sents another separate and independ-
ent ground upon which to sustain the
law"

SEEK UNIFORM
BUS LICENSING
Meeting Called in Novem-
Der to Discuss New
State Legislation.
WILL ASK NEW LAW

Madison. Wis. IT! = Authori-
ties of Wisconsin will meet in La
Crosse next November to discuss uni
form legislation affecting the llcens-
ing of motor trucks and buses, Sec
rotary of State Fred R. Zimmerman
said.
The purpose of the meeting, Secre-
tary Zimmerman said, will be to form
ulate uniform proposal for submits
sion to the legislature in 1927. The
proposed legislation would be de-
signed, according to tentative plans,
to remove reported disadvantage OF
present laws requiring the licensing
of trucks of produce dealers and 9th
ers whose business takes them across
state boundaries.
AThe uniformity proposition was dis
cussed at meeting of licensing au-
thorities in st. Paul last week. Mr..
Zimmerman reported that it was
agreed at the conference that nothing
could be done under the existing laws
to relieve the situation affecting
trucks of farmers and others who are
not engaged in commercial hauling.
minnesota Law dLtSAHs
The situation arose from Mime
sofa law, requiring Wisconsin and
Iowa truck owners to take out licenses
in Minnesota when they crossed the
border to deliver produce or other
goods. Wisconsin and Iowa retaliated
with similar measures. As a result,
| C. E. Coyne, secretary of state of
South Dakota, called the st. Paul con-
| ference, to which Nebraska and Hi
nois also were invited.
Secretary Zimmerman expressed the
| opinion that motor buses and trucks
| engaged in commercial traffic should
be licensed in every state in which
they operate. Such a system would
remove any disadvantages between
states, he said. However, uniform
law for adoption in neighboring states
would make it possible to relieve
/ farmers and others not engaged in
commercial trucking from the re-
quirement of taking out licenses in
states other than where they live, the
authorities suggested.
| The Midwest Motor Distributors as
ISOLATION, of which Mr.. Zimmerman is
/ president, the purpose of which is to
obtain uniform motor vehicle legisla-
ton, is expected to work on the prob
lem.

GIGANTIC POWER
LINE COMPLETED
Electric Trunk Line $50
Miles Long to Be Opened
Early This Week.
100000 PROGRAM

Completion of the new $2,500000
super-power electric trunk line ex-
tending from Milwaukee to Twin
Falls, Mich, distance of more than
$50 miles, is announced by Gould W.
Van Derzee, vice-president Of The
Electric company. Early this week a
switch will be pulled releasing an I'M
broken flow of electric current, esti-
mated at near $4,000 volts, for use
in northern Wisconsin and Michigan
cities.
The new transmission line is a
part of the $8,000,000 development
program Which is being carried out
by the North American Co., through
its subsidiaries in the Fox river val
ley and Greater Milwaukee districts.
Other important items which will
be undertaken soon include the build
ing of new 100000 power plant at
Green Bay and the addition of two
more units to the Lakeside plant in
Milwaukee, M. Van Derzee said.
United Power Sources.
With completion of the super-pow-
er line, the company's engineers have
succeeded in uniting the water power
of the north with the steam power of
the south. By using the current of
both, Interchangeable, as the condi-
tions demand, great conservation of
resources will be effected, it is said.
The surplus energy of more than
IL hydro-electric plants when the
northern rivers run high, will be mar
keted in Milwaukee and the Fox riv-
er valley. Low cost steam electric
power will be directed to the north
ern districts when the rivers are low.
The new line is the longesC in the
state and has the second largest ca
pacity of any in the United States,
Mr.. Van Derzee said. The wires are
supported BY 1874 steel towers
spaced from 500 to 1000 feet apart,
and weighing in all, about 14,383,800
pounds. Work on the project was
started last February and completed
in record time, Mr.. Van Derzee said.
Big Towers Erected.
Two huge towers, 265 feet high,
support the electric line spanning
the mouth of the Fox river at Green
Bay. The length of the span across
the water is 1,270 feet and at the
lowest point the wires are 100 feet
high. Mr.. Van Derzee said the trans
mission is designed to withstand the
most severe weather conditions.
"The first step in the project was
to learn the most logical route for
the transmission line from one ter
minal to the other" Mr.. Van Derzee
said. at was necessary to consider
the contour and character of the
country and the objective to be att
tanned between the fixed terminals.
Naturally development of this
size, requiring the spending of a
large amount of money, must pass
through or be adjacent to prosperous
districts between the line terminals.
This line, am safe to say, traverses
one of the most progressive and high
ly developed farming sections in the
state"
From an economic standpoint, the
new line is pointed to as a step of
Importance. The steel tower trans
mission between Milwaukee n d
Twin Falls means that power re-
sources of the steam plants are only
one-thousandth part of second re-
moved from the iron mines TO upper
Michigan.

BAKER TO HEAR
BENDILLI CASE
Lawyers Argue Matter of
Affidavit of Prejudice
In Court Today.
MOTION NOT HEARD

The case of the state VS.. Petra
Bendelli, charged with attempting to
extort money under threat from
Charles w. Nash has been set for
preliminary hearing next Wednesday
morning at ten o'clock in the mu-
nicipal court before Acting Municipal
Judge Baker. The case will doubt
less be heard before Judge Baker even
if Judge Slater has recovered and is
back at his duties.
An affidavit of prejudice against
Judge Slater has been filed in the
municipal court, asking for change
Of venue, by the defendant Bendelli
and his attorney, Frank S. Symmonds.
Attorney Explains Why.
Frank Symmonds explained in open
court the reasons for asking for a
change of venue from Judge Slater,
He said he had understood that Judge
Slater had asked the defendant Bend
ELI, at the time of arraignment, "Did
you send one of those letters to me,
too 2" The inference appeared to be
that Judge Slater had received a
threatening letter of some sort from
someone, and for this reason the de-
tense was asking for a change of
venue.
Judge Baker pointed out that he
could not very well act for Judge
Slater in such q matter, permit change
Of venue and then appoint, as magis-
trate to hear the case, the county
Judge, which would be himself. At
torney c. E. Randall, appearing in the
case as 'friend of the court" sug-
gested that Judge Baker could act
as municipal judge and hear the pre-
liminary examination, even though the
affidavit had been filed, without pass
ing upon it.
This view was accepted by both Dis
trict Attorney Powell and Attorney
Frank Symmonds, and it was agreed
between them and the court that if
satisfactory to Judge Slater in the
event of his recovery and return by
next Wednesday, the hearing would go
forward, with Judge Baker presiding.
A motion to SUPPRESS part of the
evidence on the grounds that it was
obtained illegally without proper
warrant will be heard next Wednes-
day, the day set for the preliminary.
1t could not be heard today, District
Attorney Powell assured the court be-
cause he had notified all of the wit
nesses, those in Milwaukee and Chi
cago as we'll as those in Kenosha, not
to come today, because of the illness
of Judge Slater He did not think
the matter of the affidavit of preju-
dice could be decided.
The district attorney pointed out
to the court that the question of fact
was involved in the motion as well as
question of law and that it would
be necessary to put some of his wit
nesses on the stand in order that the
court might determine the facts be-
fore deciding the motion.
The defendant was not present in
the court room this morning, nor was
c. w. Nash, who was. busy acting as
Santa Claus at the Nash plant.
