New Federal Districts Proposed for Wisconsin Court System
A bill in the U S House proposes adding a northern district for Wisconsin with Superior as a hub and permanent offices in Madison. Eastern and western districts would relocate terms to Milwaukee Oshkosh Green Bay Madison La Crosse and Ashland Eau Claire. The aim is to save travel for litigants and handle lake commerce and Indian reservation cases more efficiently.

Propose Courthouse Visits to Reservations to Cut Costs
The letter argues that federal courts should hold sessions twice yearly on reservations rather than shipping defendants to distant courts. It contends this would reduce railroad fares and fines for Native individuals, redirect fines to the local towns, and have jail sentences served locally as road work. The author insists the plan would lower violations over time.

Road funding urged to unlock Indian farming on reservation
The piece argues for a modest ten thousand dollar appropriation to build and repair roads on a reservation to enable farmers to access claims. It criticizes Congress and the department for not funding roads, counters claims that Indians lack ambition, and notes a 1913 town election law expanding caucus nominations and ballot practices.
Roads funding needed to unlock farming potential
The writer argues that yearly allotments for others drive land cultivation and urges Congress and the agriculture department to grant a small road appropriation. Much land between the village and Ashland lies wild but could become farm homes if roads are built. The appeal claims roads are essential to unlock farming prospects.
