Mr.. Editor - Allow me Il short spine

NE " BLANKS FOR AUDITORS

The Comptroller General will issue
new blanks for the assistance OF the
auditors in collecting the income fax
1t has, heretofore been almost a dcad
letter law and it has been hard
problem 20 fasten the law upon those
whose income is over $4,000. The
Auditors seem to be held to blame
Tor the iaopcration Of the law. 1t is
said they could guess pretty shrcwd.
~ as to who is receiving this amount
Of income, if they were so disposed
although there is no law instructinp
Them to do any guess work. 1t will
DC remembered that The House at tbe
recent session adopted n bill to re-
peal the income tax law, as il was
virtually dead letter, but the Senate
was In favor OF giving it, a further
trial. 1t will possibly result as hereto.
FORE with few exceptions, the rich
men will evade tho law, while the
poor man, has to come down with his
tax on everything he possesses. The
income tax law is Il COOL thing and
would in measure equolize taxation
nit could be made operative. But can

lion. Stanyarne Wilson. in q very
strong and forceful speech delivered
In Congress, the 22nd, upon ,hc
Philippine question, in which he
states the situation in nut shall
made a home-thrust at McK;p-
ley-the head Of the nation. In
the very beginning Of his speech.
when he said, speaking of McKinlev: ::
Perhaps no President has ever
more thoroughly represented or inn
personated his party. Whcresoevcr
it goes he goes; whatsoever it thinks
he thinks; when ia doubt as to 9 h,i
it thinks he goes West. There is
never shadow OF variance between
his sentiments and those of Tho n,.
tional chairman Of his party. Thcv
live and move and have their being
together.
When he speaks his party speaks,
except where subsequent deve!on-
ments disclose that he spoke too
soon, in which event he follows in ,ho
wake OF his party, IS in the measure
now under discussion. He will never
veto the action of his party. His
party will never do more than gently
restrain him from falling into the pit
That is the political status OF the
Government. What the President
and his leaders will to be done will be
done. The minority in Congress is
powerless except to register their pro.
test and appeal to the country-the
people who are the source of govern
msnt."

WISCONSIN POTATOES.
This is the Second State in the Union in the
Amount of Potatoes Produced

According to a bulletin recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture the total annual
production of starch from potatoes in
the United State is about $1,000 tons,
of which 5000 tons are produced in
the county of Aroostook in Maine.
Wisconsin is one of the most i'm
portant potato producing states and
stands next to Maine in the produc-
tion of potato starch. In the
immediate neighborhood of Stevens
Point, in triangular area of which
each side is about thirty miles, there
are over 10000 acres of potatoes
grown.
The three great potato-producing
counties are Portage, Waushara
and Waupaca, the acreage planted in
1899 being 25,026, 1880, 1902,
respectively. AS a furthur indication
OF the size of the industry, it is
only necessary to state that Piainfield,
in Waushara county, has shipped as
high as 1865 carloads in one season;
Hancock, within eight miles, 1000 car
loads, Waupaca, in Waupaca county,
is second only to Plainfield in ship
ments. The average yield to potatoes
is 100 bushels per acre.

SALE OF PIONEER WOOD PULP co.
Transfer Made Monday 10 Messrs. J. D. Wit.
ter and Nels Johnson of This CITY,

Another link in the chain of
settlement of the complicated owner
ship of the Grand Rapids water
power was formed Monday by the
purchase of the mill and all property
rights in the water power of this
place owned by the Pioneer Wood
Pulp Co. by MeSSrS. Witter and
Johnson, and as we understand it the
only obstacle now in the way of a
complete settlement of this long
drawn-Out difficulty is an adjustment
of the claim of Nash Brothers, now in
the court. 1t is said that some sort
of settlement of this claim cannot
long be deferred, and that then the
much talked of dam across the
Wisconsin river at the rapids will be
Immediately begun.
1t is estimated that there is about
5000 horse power at this point, only a
small fraction of which is now being
utilized, and every citizen of the town
is more or less interested in seeing
this power made use of, and will
rejoice in the fact that the prospect
of soon Harvesting the power of the
rapids is now in sight.
1t has not yet been decided by
MeSsrs. Witter and Johnson what
disposition they will make Of the
pulp mill-whether they will repair it
and operate it until the new dam
goes in or not. Owing to the recent
accident at the mill, it would require
a considerable expenditure of money
to put it in shape to operate.

clean up their purchases in the city.
This work has all been done by Wal
lace T. Cook, of Chicago, VINO is
becoming quite familiar figure
among our citizens.
T. S. Roberts who has been work

Hurt in a RUNAWAY.

Adolph Painter, from the Four Mile
district, met with a painful accident
Saturday. He was driving his team
up Cranberry street and halted at the
M. & S. E. tracks to have a moments
conversation with Geo. McMillen.
One of his horses stepped upon the
track and in some way got it's foot into
the space between the plank and the
rail- throwing itself. In the struggle
that followed, Mr.. Painter was thrown
from his seat onto the whippletreeS,
landing under the wagon. Painter
tried to crawl out from under the
wagon, but the horse, freeing itself.
started to run and the wagon passed
over Mr.. Painters body, badly bruising
and laming him. The team ran away
but was captured in the c. NJ. g. St. P.
yards without damaging anything.
