Offers Course In
Law and Economics

Madison, Wis. - >af-J - A course
in "Law and Economics" the outgrowth
Of his study in connection with the
abolition of the pittsburgh Plus" sys-
tenn in the steel industry and in the
preparation of his book, "The Legal
Foundations Of Capitalism" will be
offered by Prof. John R. Commons,
University of Wisconsin economist, in
the Yale Law school next summer. The
course will be open to teachers and
prospective teachers of law.
The course is described as "real-
istic approach to the study of law"
Four of the five elementary principles
of economics are also functional to
law, according to Professor Commons.
They are scarcity, futurity, custom and
sovereignty. Capital, for example, is
both legal and an economic concept,
he says.
Professor Commons was employed
by the four middle western states
which forced the abolition of "Pitts-
burgh Plus" by the United States Steel
corporation. He and his associates,
Prof. w. z. Ripley of Harvard, and
Prof. F. A. Peter of Princeton, APP
piled common law cases of "discrimi-
nation" to the manufacturing industry.

Badger Cheese Men
Fight States Suit
Wisconsin Law Claimed to Be Vio-
lated AS to Size and Form of
Swiss Product.

Amigo, Wis. - The larg-
est Swiss cheese plant in the world,
operated by the Kraft Cheese COM
pany, at Amigo, Wis, is charged with
failure to make its cheese in cakes TO
inches in diameter and 9 inches thick,
required by the Wisconsin dairy law
when other than whole milk is used
in the manufacture, in suit on trial
here.
William Kraft, manager of the plant,
and Swiss cheese makers from Green
county, the other principal Swiss
cheese center of the state, declare the
Swiss cheese industry in Wisconsin
will be ruined if the law is upheld.
Wisconsin, according to Mr.. Kraft,
makes 80 per cent = domestic Swiss
cheese.
The company contends also that
Swiss cheese will not form the "eyes''
nor cure to the flavor of fancy
grades unless tits made in large fiat
wheels.
Cheese experts from dairy depart
ments of other states, from the ma
tional agricultural department. and
from Wisconsin Swiss cheese plants
will testify ins the trial. Both the
state and the company have indicated
they will appeal to the state supreme
court in the event of adverse decision
by the lower court, and the company
has indicated it may take the case
to the United States supreme court.

one of his front teeth, q jury in the

Decreasing the tax rate one mill
from the rate last year, the city coun-
Gil on Monday evening az its regular
meeting at the city hall set the tax
rate for the city of Kenosha for the
year 1926 at thirty mills. This rate
will levy tax totaling $1,91O,823.60
against the taxable property of the
CITY, which with estimated revenues
from other sources is to meet the budg-
ct for the year for maintenance and
utlay for city government and opera
tion of the city schools, all of which
totals $2,619,793.60.
The decrease of one mill in the tax
rate will partly compensate the home
owners of the city for the loss of the
homestead exemption which was re-
pealed by the state legislature at its
last session. The cut was made pos
sible, it was said, only by the prac-
tice of the most rigid economy in all
of the departments of the city govern
ment.
Despite the cut in the mill tax rate,
the budget provides for the continu-
ance of the extensive public improve
ment program which has been~carried
on in Kenosha for the past four years
and which has meant much for the
progress of the city. The budget CAR
ries the same appropriation for street
paying-$60,0 00--as was carried last
year and no drastic cuts have been
in any public improvement project.
There were general increases in sew
eral of the departments due to the in
crease in the size of the city and the
natural increase in demands for serv-
ice because of it.
Budget Totals $2.61s,7sS.6O.
The budget for the year 1926 as
adopted by the council calls for ST.
619 ,793.60 to meet all of the expend-
lures of the city for the year 1926.
Of this amount $969,516.82 represents
the school budget for the year 1926,
which increased from $796,9Os.33 in
1925. State, county soldier relief,
blind relief and special school taxes
totaled 1891, S17.51 as against $409,-
7s9.4O in 1925.
The budget for operation of the
city government proper was $685.
s5S.27 as against $1,O94,640,7S in 1925.
Included in the 1925 budget was
10000 of the special revolving fund
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1925-12-10

which is now carried in another form
as trust fund in keeping with direc-
tions of the state tax commission
Taking this into consideration the
city budget has increased about $37,-
600, which is considered remarkably
small when the growth of the city and
the attendant expenses are taken into
consideration.
The other item in the budget is for
outlay, this being for all permanent
improvements to the city. It totals
$300,6O1 as against $2S3,032. The
amount to be spent for outlay has
been kept at the same percentage as
in other years.
Many Increases to Meet.
Some of the increases in city gov
eminent which the city was called
upon to meet, as shown by the budget,
are as follows:
Increase of $4,000 in cost of operat-
ing police department due largely to
adding of additional men to police new
sections of the city.
Increase of $1,000 in cost for cleo
tions caused by reason of redistricting
Of the city into more wards for the
convenience Of voters.
Increase of approximately 100000
In costs of operating the schools of
the city.
General increase in many of the ap-
preparations due to growth of the city.
The budget in its entirety is pub
lished on page 2 of this edition, show
ing comparison of the appropria-
tions for the years 1925 and 1926.
Cut to Minimum.
The council has been wor King on the
budget and the tax problem for sever
al weeks past and 1T was only by the
practieing of rigid economies that it
was possible to cut the tax rate with
out decreasing the public improve
ment program. After the budget had
been tentatively drawn it was found
to be about $4,000 in excess of the
amount which would make possible a
30 mill tax levy. The city appealed
to the school board to cooperate with
it in meeting this situation with re-
suit that the board recently Topped
off $4,000 of its request for appropri-
ations and the city took care of the
remainder of the amount by pruning
appropriations to the limit.

KENOSHA'S EARLY
HISTORY Is TOLD
New Facts About Settle
ment Told By Louise
Phelps Kellogg.
AT D. 4. R. MEETING

information of the early history OF
Kenosha, and of Wisconsin, was
brought ito the Kenosha chapter
Daughters of the American Revolution
Monday afternoon by Miss Louise
Phelps Kellogg, of the state historical
society. She told bits of the city's
history that were new even to the
members of an organization founded
upon early American tradition.
The first literary magazine to be
issued in the middle west was Gear
land of the West" a periodical of
poetry and prose published in Keno
sha by two pioneers, Ed. Young and
Jonathan Kimball.
Michael Frank, Kenosha man, OBJ
tanned the free school system of Wis
consin, after a. long and bitter fight
with the legislature. Kenosha had one
of the earliest libraries in this part
of the country; one: of the first tenn
perance societies; and the frstaanti-
slavery senator, Charles Dnrkee.
First Peace Delegate.
Miss Kellogg told of many things
which pointed out Kenosha's unusual
idealism and high ambitions. Keno
sha, she said, had the distinction of
sending the American delegate to the
first conference ever held. This was
while Durkee was senator and he was
sent as a delegate in 1856, to confer
with representatives of other nations
on the abolition of war.
In sketching the history of Wis
consin, Miss Kellogg told how Kenosha
evolved it's name, which is Indian for
"Pike." The original name of the
village, was Kenosha, she said, and
later when the French came, they used
the French word for pike, which is lie
Broche. The English traders used just
the name of pike, and the first post
Office here was called the Pike post
office. After it had become quite a
village, the settlers We'd with other
places for the first harbor, and sue
ceeded in obtaining the first appro-
priation of $4,000 for a port. When
Wisconsin became state the name
was changed to Southport and later
when the town was chartered, it chose
the original name of Kenosha.
French Here for 100 Years.
every little is known of Wisconsin's
history story before 1885," said Miss
Kellogg. "A, very interesting 100
years were spent under the French
rule. The Jodiet-Marquette expedition
in 1857 opened the way for many
other French yoyageurs who lived here
for many years, under the direct rule
of the French court" Miss Kellogg
sketched bit of the dangers involved
in the journeys along the shore of
Lake Michigan, from Chicago to the
fort at Mackinac, and back again.
These were made in frail birch-bark
canoes, and were fraught with dangers
on both water and land. The voy-
ageurs thrived here however, and
made friends among the Indians, many
even inter-marrying with them.
Miss Kellogg has recently written
book called "The French in Wiscon-
SIM" which is the history of the ear
Hest days of settlement here, until
1896, when the French left the ter
ritory.
The meeting yesterday was held in
the Womens lounge of the Elks' club.
An interesting business session pre-
ceded Miss Kellogg's talk, which was
followed by refreshments.

Playwrights Fight
Movie Chief Control
They Resent Effort of Fox to Gain
Control by Financing Stage
Plays.

New York City. - SA1 = Leading
American playwrights nave locked
horns VITA molten picture interests in
what they describe rs death strug-
gle for the future of the American
stage.
At secret meeting of AZ dramat-
lists, plans were laid for. the fight and
committee appointed to carry them
into action
The step was taken because William
Fox, motion picture producer, is try
ing to finance New York producers of
plays in exchange for film rights. The
dramatists interpret this as an at
tempt to corner the play production
market and say they are facing a
desperate situation.
Maurice Revnes, Fox production
manager, admits that offers have
been made but refuses to name the
producers. Broadway gossip names
five of the largest producers on the
rialto.
If the deals are closed and other
motion picture producers make SINH
lar agreements to protect themselves
against Fox, the playwrights argue,
they will find themselves with mar
ket limited and controlled by four or
five concerns.
Charming Pollock, author of many
stage successes, says that, aside from
the official action decided upon by I'M
animous vote at the meeting, he and
several other leading authors would
cease to write for the stage, unless
the matter, was satisfactorily settled.
The action decided upon was not
made public.
