KNOCKING OUT THE KNOCKERS.

- This state will go forward industrially but
its progress can be accelerated if knockers can
be knocked out of Wisconsin" says Governor
Blaine in bombastic New Years message
being sent out from Madison.
1t is taken for granted that the governor
puts in the class of knockers the men who
are not in sympathy with his program of gov
eminent, and his invitation for them to get out
Of the state is not new in the history of Wis
consin politics.
The idea of sending them thither'' which
featured the administration of the governor
during the last four years, has already knocked

Assemblyman Price Of Juneau county who
introduced the most bills in the last legislature
has promised to reform. He asserts that he is
going to have the least number of bills in the
coming session. Now if all of the other mem
bers of the legislature will take the same course
the session will be short and the state will be
benefited. Wisconsin has laws enough now

They tied up Organization Of the
House while they demanded and got q
liberalization of the rigid rules of the
House. They extended their power to
include sitting in judgment on the
measures sponsored by the administra-
ton, snd, il alliance with the Dem
ocrats debating changes.
The two big investigations of the
year were the Teapot Dome inquiry
and the Daugherty probe. The former
resulted in the elimination of Secre-
tary of the Navy DENLY by resignation
and his replacement by Curtis Dwight
Wilbur of California, and the enforced
withdrawal from the cabinet of At
torney General Daugherty, who was
succeeded by Harlan Fiske Stone of
New York.
The climax Of the Teapot Dome in
vestigation was reached when Senator
Thomas ]. Walsh, Democrat, of Mon
tana, ferreted out evidence concerning
loans made by former Secretary of the
Interior Fall, who leased the oil re-

recovery of the reserves.
Senator Wheeler of Montana was the
guiding spirit of the Daugherty in

after continual outpouring of tes-
timony about alleged corruption in
the department of justice.

Tax Legislation.
The tax bill probably was the out
standing piece of legislation enacted,
even overshadowing its companion
piece, the soldiers bonus bill which
finally went through browsing insur-
ance policies for veterans. Secretary
Mellon recommended sharp downward
revision of the surtax rates to stimu-
late revenue producing investment and
head off the fight of capital into tax
exempt securities which states and
municipalities continued to issue at
the rate of 100000 900 a year, despite
criticism by federal officials.
The Democratic Independent coali-
tion in the House baked at Melons
figures, hawever, and granted only half
the cut asked. The Senate was even
more unyielding and they compromis-
ed at dropping the maximum surtax
rate only 10 per cent, leading President
Coolidge to term the bill when he
signed it, unsatisfactory" With all
its tax revision, however, the nations

provision providing for publicity
Of income tax payments further made
the bill distasteful to the president and
Mellon. Publication of the lists by
papers when finally made available
in November, caused great sensation
and demand for repeal of the pro-
vision.
Other important legislation passed
was the new immigration bill, which
based the quota on the 1890 census in
stead Of the 1910 census as at present
and cut the quotas from three to two

1t is interesting to note that plans are being
made to build up school libraries in Wisconsin
The best possible expenditure that state can
make is for good books for it's people. The
people of the rural districts of the state are
entitled to the same library privileges accord
ed to the people of the cities and it is well that
the state will make an effort to make such
provision.

This longing can be almost I'M

read about one-half the books In

Your desire wanes and you slow
" depart with two or three books
which do not seem at all inspiring,
under your arm. You feel discour-

into each book, futter the leaves,
and place them In the bookcase
where they remain until reminder

Although the idea Is no longer
alluring, do read those two or three

back to the library and get more
