Koeniig Explains
Highway Bill.

In letter to the Baraboo News
Assemblyman Carl Koenig says as
follows:
Now that the big state highway
bill which has been discussed more
or less for the last four years has
been passed, and believing that the
people at home may be somewhat
interested in what it really
amounts to, I will attempt to state
a few of the principal progisic -
First: 1t provides that on Octo-
Der /, 1926, and annually theraaf-
ter, an appropriation OF $4,000 fol
the construction and maintenance
of highways in the state park areas
of roads leading from the near
state trunk highways to the park
areas.
Second: Annually, beginning Oc-
tober 1, 1926, $4,000 for the pun
pose of making survey of the
local road materials available for
the construction and maintenance
of the state and county trunk high
ways systems.
Third: From time to time, suns
sufficient to defray the cost OF de-
livering into the state, equipping,
storing, repairing, handling moor
vehicles etc, which may be given
to the state of Wisconsin by the
Federal Government for use in
highway construction and for en-
gineering work for town and coun-
ties, not to exceed 100000
Fourth: July /, 1925, and annI-
ally thereafter, not to exceed $10,-
600, for the administering of tlte
tax on motor vehicle fuel.
Fifth: Annually from July /, 1926
for the functioning of the highwa.
commission, not to exceed 100000.
On October l., and annually there
after, 100000 for marking and sig n
ing the state trunk highway sys-
TEN.
Sixth: On July i, 1926, and an
nually thereafter to teh different
counties, towns and cities for NAM
tenance as follows: For primary
federal aid highways, $500 per mile.
For secondary federal highways
$500 per mile. For state trunk
highways $500 per mile, and Tor
certain city streets $500 per mile
All towns and village streets not on
any state on county trunk $25 1t /
mile. Cities of from 10000 to 20G,-
600 or more, $50 to $500 per ail :,
according to population.
1t may be of interest to Sat
county people to know that uFt'e.
the new law, we gain 100000;
that is, we receive out of the state
treasury $1O3,000 more than we -
in, while counties such as Milwau-
kee and Racine with large pop,. Ia
tons are the losers.
Sank county has 218 miles of state
trunk highways, 141 miles of county
trunk highways and 1912 miles of
rural highways which equals 1871
miles of roads. The number Of
vehicles registered are 74O7; aver
age percent is based on 40 percent
motor registration and so percent
on rural highways.

Based upon the premise that
man never falls SO low that he can
not be uplifted, the above should be
steps leading up to proper educa-
ton for citizenship.
AS Chief Justice Winslow said
man cannot live alone, that there
must be laws to protect and if in
justice dwells in this land we
should hang our heads in shame.
One should know and be able to
assert his legal right and to neg
lect these rights is moral suicide.
The more perfect the citizen the
nearer to the ideal.
Patriotism in Literature
In discussing Patriotism in Lit
erature," II. Il. Cole found there
were three kinds of patriotism ?"
/. That Of the individual in his
work, such as depicted by Walt
Whitman in the poem where a
number Of craftsmen are made to
sing at their task, because they love
their work.
2. That of place or of locality,
such as Dr. Johnson enjoyed in
London The noted Englishman
thought there was no place like the
great city and just before he died
wrote: "The town is my element,
there are my friends, there are my
books, to which | have not yet bid
farewell, and there are my other
amusements. The same is found
in the Scotchman, Welchman and
others who love their locality.
3. The third is patriotism for
| ones country. This reaches it's
highest point in the time of war.
The speaker said the question of
state rights in 1860 could have been
settled but both the north and south
plunged into war, largely through
intense patriotism. This same ele-
ment swept the socialist party
aside in Germany in 1914 and
brought down a world conflict.
In discussing Stephen Decatur's
statement: Our country! In her
intercourse with foreign nations
may she always be right; but our
country, right or wrong" it was
held a middle ground should be
sought. This must be the conclu
sion if a nation is to secure the
good viii and respect of mankind.

Federal Court May Rule on Kansas Trade Grant

. TOPEKA, Mar. 26.-(AP) The privilege of membership in any Kan sas board of trade, extended by the state legislature to more than $50 cooperative grain marketing associ- ations, is likely to be challenged i'll federal court, according to legislators who sponsored the Davis board of trade act.
 The Capper-Tincher act of Cong ress permits cooperative associations to enjoy membership in boards of trade designated as contract mar kets by the secretary of agriculture.
 But there are only five such mar kets in the United States" declar- ed John w. Davis, Kansas state senator, who drafted the statute. Kansas should have home markets and the grain associations should be admitted on an equality with other board of trade members"
 Kansas boards of trade at Wichita, Hutchinson and Salina, have exclud, ed certain cooperative organizations from membership, ruling that the distribution of profits from grain transactions among the farmer mem bers constituted "rebating," and was unfair to other board members.
 The Davis act aimed 10 remedy this alleged discrimination by declar ing all boards of trade in the state contract markets, affected with a public interest, and prohibiting them from denying membership privileges to any cooperative association of producers which conforms with it's regulations. The law was passed without opposition, although the boards of trade presented their case before committees.
 Doubt was expressed on the floor of the state senate as 10 the con- stitutionality of the measure, since lit goes farther than Congress in declaring all boards essential" and contract markets" It was contend ed that boards of trade are, in fact private enterprises and the belief was that they will seek to test the validity of the statute in federal court

LEVINE WILL NEVER NEED
 A SHAVE SAYS UNDERTAKEN

CHICAGO, Mar. 27.-Nicolai Lenin will never need another shave, as his body lies exposed for public venera- tion i'll the Russian capital, declared Harry c. Samson, of Pittsburgh, Pa, director of the National Selected Nor. ticians, in an address here. Press reports have said that the cathedral in which Lenin lies was closed so that his cheeks might be shaved owing to the growth of his beard after death.
 Hair does not grow after death," said Samson. There is not a single authentic instance of hair growing af ter death. This is superstition which science reveals to be without founda- tion.
 The body of Lenin may remain a public shrine for centuries if it is de- sired. An eccentric English physi- clan years ago caused the body of his wife to be embalmed but never would allow it to be buried. At his death he left it to the Royal College of Sur geons in London, where it is now, to all appearances, a beautiful woman ly- ing asleep

Detroit Daily Will Move
 Into New Home In June

DETROIT, Mar. 26.-(AP).-On site that once was part of the old Fort Shelby military reservation, but now is in the heart of Detroit's downtown business district, is near ing completion new History build ing, the new home of the Detroit Free Press, Detroit's oldest daily newspaper.
 When, some time in June the completed building is ready for occu- pancy by editorial and mechanical staffs, just 94 years will have elapsed since the Detroit Free Press was founded as a weekly.
 Covering a ground area of 27,Q56 square feet. the new structure occu- pies the entire block between Cass Avenue and Wayne Street. Above the main body ct six floors rises all eight-story tower.
 While structural work is in pro- cess mechanical equipment already has been set up in the two base ments, which form virtually two ad- ditional floors as a sub-structure to the whole. Production of the daily issue is expected to get under way in the new building some time be- fore the editorial and other staffs are housed there. Equipment looking forward to years of expansion is be- ing installed
 The new building, to be known as "The Detroit Free Press Building, will be in marked contrast to the modest little plant in which Shel' don MacKnight on May ,, 1881. founded the paper as a weekly. This was at the corner of Woodbridge and Bates streets, not far from the water front.

 Says.

Washington. May 2y. (AP)-The lee cream retailer generally pays about 20 per cent for air in his purchases from the manufacturer, but cant sell it because it leaks out. A. W, Schwartz, of the public weights department Of New Jersey, told the national conference on weights and measures in advocating sale of ice cream by weight instead Of volume.
 Figured on this basis. he said. the 4o,030,000 quarts Of ice cream sold by manufacturers in New Jersey last year at wholesale price valuation of $l3,20Q,0QO represented loss In lair" bought by the retailers or B. G40,000. It had been estimated, he added, that so per cent of the fail ures in tho Ice cream trade were due to "Shrinkage."
 Y. F. Hovey president of the Ma tional Association Of Ice Cream Man ufacturers, in opposing the weight selling proposal, declared air was a factor which largely determined the "smoothness and palatability" of fee cream, He added, however, that i'm proved methods of refrigeration in ice cream manufacture now coming into Use would prevent excessive shrinkage by maintaining uniform ity In temperature.

SOVIET SAILORS
 LIVE IN LUXURY
Have Social Halls and Long
 Periods Of Rest

Livcrroor. May 29 tAP) - The Soviet steamer Bordienny, which visited Liverpool recently. attracted much attention among British sailors not only because ofEits so- cial halls elaborately furnished for all members of the crews, but also because of the long rest periods provided for the men. On all Soviet Russian ships the seamen work four hours with eight hours off, while the stokers do four hour shifts with a 12 hour break between their turns Of duty.
 The Bordienny was visited by members of the British Independent Labor party who were shown the social halls. and the sailors and ilremens' reception room. the lat ter of which has Lenine corner where photographs of Lenine. Karl Marx, Rosa Luxembourg and other noted Soviet leaders are shown.
 It was explained to the British visitors that Russian seamen are never without job or a ship. IT their vessels are tied up, or in dock for repairs, the pay goes on regu- larly until they go to sea again. whether in the same or another vessel. One months leave, with full pay. Is granted annually when the seamen either visit their homes or bring their families to the port of their arrival, the expense of travel being borne by the state.
 Most Soviet vessels carry an or- plan boy, to whose upkeep all the crew contributes. This money ac- cumulates until the young man be- comes of age, when 1t is for him to decide what trade or profession he will follow. Most of these boys come from the Ukraine, and do odd jobs about the ship.

MACMILLAN MAY USE WATCH INSTEAD OF THE COMPASS
Explorer Explains Method of Find ing Bearings in This
 Way,

Washington. May 20. (AP)-A watch instead of compass is be- ing considered as probably the best instrument for laying the course of the naval planes which will search for an undiscovered continent in the Arctic thus summer. with the Mac Milan expectation.
 The notorious nckleness Of the companss in the polar regions due to the location of the magnetic pole in the Hudson Bay region Of Canada, has led to the suggestion by Albert H. Bumstead, head of the carto- graphic department of the National Geographic society, which Is one of the sponsors of the expedition. that 24-hour watch be employed to de- termine directions.
 The top of the earth" it is ex- p1ained, may be regarded for flying purposes as being fiat disc about which the sun makes a circuit each 24 hours. Thus, by laying down a watch with "24" o'clock pointing to the Greenwich meridian, the hour hand would follow the sun, giving an exact basis for calculating direc- ton.

 Dr. Nansen said it would be i'm possible from the air for Amund- sento decide whether or not he was at the pole. Therefore he believed Amundsen landed whenever he thought he was near there, and then took observations.
 This would require some time, and thereafter 1t would be necessary for the party to journey afoot to the pole. Then Amundsen would un- doubtedly desire to take sufficient

SAY AMUNDSEN WAS
 ID TAKE TWO WEEKS
Report Of His Plans Serves to
 Allay Fears

New York. May 20. AP)-Fear for the safety of Captain Roald Amundsen and his five fellow eX- plorers has been somewhat allayed by the revelation that he allotted two weeks for completion Of their flying expedition to the North Pole and return.
 Today marks the beginning of the second week since the two airplancs, one commanded by Amundsen and the other by the American, Lincoln Ellsworth. left Kings Bay, Spitz- bergen, for the north.
 The Norwegian Aeronautic asso- clation through its headquarters at Oslo, made known last night that Amundsen's final instructions to his supporting section aboard the steamers Farm and Hobby were that these ships should patrol the edge Of the ice Hefd in event the planes did not return within a fortnight.
 The association has asked the Nor wegian government to provide two naval planes to aid in the task of watching for the home corners. It has also requested extension of the governments loan of the Farm, which is a naval transport.
 Donald B. MacMillan, head of the all-American expedition soon to leave for the Arctic. IS requested to be in the lookout around Cape Co., lumbia, this being one Of the points for which Amundsen and his com rades would probably head in the event their planes were disabled.
 Grettir Algarson, who has been preparing in England for a polar flight in an airship, Is so convinced that Amundsen is in difficulty that he Is considering abandoning his own plans He announced at Liverpool last night that he was negotiating for the purchase of an airplane to be used in possible rescue attempt.
