Milwaukeeans are champions of law and order. It is doubtful whether any other police depart ment in the nation gets the same support that it's department re- ceives. Milwaukeeans are eager to assist their police. It has been said that q young man cannot wait on a street corner 10 minutes to meet his girl without somebody's informing the police of a "suspi' cious character"
 Boys Trained Properly
 Milwaukee boys are encouraged to learn trade. The finest voca- tional school In the world Is ir Milwaukee, and thousands Of youths attend it daily: and with 1t the city maintains an outstanding system of technical and apprentice education. A boy with a trade. 1t is obvious, is less likely to turn to crime.
 Amateur athletics and play grounds and evening social cen- ters are strongly supported. Parti- cipation of hundreds of thousands of persons in such wholesome ac- tivities Is an indication of the city's fundamental character.
 Can other cities profit by Mill waukee's success in fighting crime?
 They can to the extent of freeing the police from politics and giving the courts facilities to speed up.

Milwaukee.-Hand in hand with the thorough and hard-boiled MD- waukee police, the most remark able municipal court in the nation operates.
 The Milwaukee municipal court is George A. Saughnessy---o man, who handles all the felony cases arising among 100000 persons. The lower court in Milwaukee. called the district court and presided over by Judge George E. Page, hears the usual run of police court cases. In all cases of consequence and in appeals from district court. Muni- cipal Judge Shaughnessy sits.
 The records established by Judge Shaughnessy have given him national prominence. In 1929 and 1880, nearly 4000 felony cases were tried in Milwaukee, and 84 per cent resulted in convictions!
 What is the secret of the Mil. waukee municipal court? speed! Not all cases are tried With the theatrical rapidity of the man who murdered his wife and was In state prison eight hours later, but near Iy all cases are tried within a day or two after the arrest.
 ZVUV NdSSS ISNh
 When Judge Shaughnessy be- came municipal judge in 1923. there were more than 300 cases on the calendar. At the end of 1850. there were about six cases pending, and during that year the judge single disposed of nor" than 2000 cases.
 What a contrast to the records in Chicago and other large cities, where the courts are far behin1 and where months and even years may elapse between commission or a crime and trial!
 Judge Shaughnessy is inclined to be Ienient to first offenders, but fol crime repeaters his severity Is pro verbal. And for out-of-state crim- inals. especially those from Illinois he is a veritable nemesis.
 Frequently he admonishes the prisoners:
 You men should know better than to come into Milwaukee and try to get away with your rob berries. We're not going to have you Chicago hoodlums coming into our city and defyinS justice. Thirty years!'
 Judge Shaughnessy keeps aDfeuSI or HIS ChleHuul CIiieiy DJ hard work. Shortly after z q. m. he arrives at his office, and after con ferences with defendants relatives with probation officers and attor- neys, he mounts his bench prompt ly at g. Court is held until D. m and after that the judge may work in chambers.
 Swift Justice Best Weapon
 swift justice is the chief weap- on to be used against crime Judge Shaughnessy says. "A crim- inal who knows that he will be tried promptly without time for fixing of witnesses and without persistent continuances. may real ize that perhaps he cannot beat the gar3e."
 Milwaukee has no professiona. bondsman racket and no willy law 'yers adept at winning continu. ances. The courts inexplorable de- nland for immediate trial makes agencies unnecessary.

TOLMIE GOVERNMENT RIGHT ON

If the Tolmie Government of British Columbia succumbs in the future before the attacks being concentrated on it, it will be economic grounds rather than it's major policies. Its advocacy of the Pacific Yukon Highway one of the foremost undertakings in the interest of public welfare, will not be among the causes contributing to it's down. fall Current depression has resulted in some defec- tions of support to pr. Tolmie in recent months. This to have been expected inasmuch as the Conservatives, of which he is leader have been in power in the Province since 1928 and recession of the high tide of prosperity has occurred since t rode into control
 However, the able Premier of British Columbia has been accorded support from not only his own party but also from Liberals his international highway program Sane of both parties have early to realization of the vast benefits in store for the Province from that project. Whether he rides out the political storm or goes under be- fore untoward circumstances the road program will live, and "Tomies dream will some day emerge into the realm Of accomplished facts rivaling in it's results the achievements of the Canadian Pacific Railway which in its day only a visionary scheme

Legislative Salaries.
(New York Times.l


 New Workers may be surprised to learn how little most States pay their Legislators The figures have been collected by the State Government, which notes that the English country squire system generally prevails it is held to be honor and obligation to in legislative halls Twenty-Five States pay the men who make their laws for them $7 less for every day that the Legislature is in session. Obviously, that cannot much than the average mans reasonable expenses. As wages, the amount which Legislator receives in the most liberal of these twenty-five States would be scorned by plumber, plasterer bricklayer, and it would be barely acceptable to hod-carrer." The wage scale has an astonishing range, running all the way from $2 a day in Connecticut to $50 a day in New York.

No where is he compelled to spend all his time law making Often sessions held only once in two years, and then for limited period. Even in New York where the legislative burden is comparatively heavy and remuneration high he manages to get home the weekend He can usually arrange matters that his official duties will not inter fere unduly with his business profession. But low salaries should be increased nevertheless Com petence demands competency. You cannot expect much from who gets $5 a day except sub servence to the interests making it possible for him to serve the States at so niggardly stipend. The pay ought to be at least sufficient to enable a self respecting man to do tour of duty in his State Legislature, whatever his station in life

LondoS Milk Fund Go
in Gotham.
BY HENRY M'LEMORE
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 30-Wrestling
that dear old game Of groan, grunt
and grimace. which two years ago
seemed headed for the wet wash,
made another comeback Monday
night.
Something like 10000 men, wom-
en- and children trooped into the
Yankee stadium to watch Jim Lon
dos, the squat little man from
Greece, defend what he is pleased
to call his heavyweight champion
ship of the world" against the on
slaughts of Ray Steele, burly Cali
fornian. Londos won handily.
When the 10000 or so spectators
were seated all wrestling records,
both as to attendance and gate re-
ceipts, were smashed to snithereens.
The previous all time wrestling
high-water mark was posted in 1911,
when Frank Gotch and George
Hackenschmidt mixed it up in Chi
cago before $4,000 customers.
Many of the spectators were
drawn to the bout because 25 per
cent Of the proceeds were to be
turned over to the New York milk
fund, but the majority of the boys
and girls were on hand simply be-
cause Of a shameless love for wrest-
ling. All the performer went out
there and leaped, groaned, grunted,
sighed and expired just as they
have hundred times before.
