A Farm or q Factory.

When you buy a farm or build a factory. it
is natural to consider all conditions. and to
locate to the very best advantage. In the
northern portion of Wisconsin there lies a
vast portion of undeveloped, or partially de-
veloped country, which is awaiting the set
tier and manufacturer to turn into produc-
tiveness and wealth,
Thousands of acres of rich lands covered
with fine hardwood timber are open to the
settler, who can obtain as much as he de-
sires at very reasonable figures and upon easy
terms. Improvements. such as school houses
and roads are being pushed and ten years of
OF progress will make an astonishing change.
Tie earth's rich deposits o. iron ore clay
kaOlin and mari, together with hardwood
timber, easily supply the wants of the manu-
facturer and offer fine inducements for the
location of plant or factory.
The Wisconsin Railway Company running
through this rich timber and mineral belt,
has opened to the world by offering quick and
cheap transit to the principal markets of the
country

tions, maps and pamphlets will b. sent upon

THE OPINION OF ONE EDITOR-POST
MASTER.

II makes us trifie weary to pick
up country newspaper and read
articles abusing the president and
the post-office department for their
laudible efforts in trying to prevent
the great abuses resulting from the
admission OF mostly everything
claiming to be a newspaper, to the
mails as second class mail matter
About two days experience in any
post office would convince the most
skeptical editor that there is a great
field for reform in the postal service
in relation to second class mail
matter. The county papers that are
mailing their papers week after
week and paying mere pltance for
their transmission through the
mails might better manifest a few
cents worth of patriotism and help
the government to place the post
Office on paying basis. It is not
the country publisher PARTICULARLY
who is getting the best of the gov

ernment, although he is coming off
too easily, but it is the newspaper
advertising fakes that the depart
ment is after-and for one we are
strictly in sympathy with the post
Office department III the effort they
are making. And we believe that if
the press generally would inform
themselves that every legitimate
publication in the country would say
amen" to the advise of the depart
ment and the administration.

FOR AN INCOME TAX.

REPRESENTATIVE John j. Jenkins,
of this district, has introduced a
joint resolution proposing consti-
tutiOnal amendment so that an in
come tax law can be successfully en-
forced. The fact that Mr.. jenkins
is the second ranking member of the
judiciary committee, which COM
mittee will consider the resolution
makes it probable that it will be
reported in some form or other.
The Evening Wisconsin in it's
Washington correspondence says:
''The demands that are being
made for relief from the war tax
will be many and persistent, and
some means of securing revenue in
in order to avoid deficits will have
to be provided. 1t is quite probable
that many of the people who ask
that stamp taxes be abolished would
be ready to unite with friends of an
equitable income tax and aid in the
passage of Mr. jenkins resolution
In speaking of his amendment last
night Mr.. Jenkins said:
1T is generally conceded that an
income tax, provided it can become
effective and apportioned fairly, will
be a move in the right direction.
The income tax provision of the Will
son tax of 1894 was vulnerable in
many respects, and the decision OF
chief justice Fuller declaring it to
be unconstitutional was one of the
ablest decisions ever rendered. Our
present system of taxation is, after
all, a rather direct method of impos-
ing taxation. II Congress will give
the proper authority for the collec-
ton of an income tax that will be
equally apportioned, the states will,
in my opinion, readily adopt my
proposed constitutional amend
ment."
Mr. Jenkins has also proposed
another amendment to the constitu-
ton, which would meet an emer-
gencv in the event of the death of
both the president and vice-presi-
uSuU ClCCU USUWCCt1 UI0 1NOVOU1U6T
elections each year, and the March
following. It provides for Senate
elections every fourth year and the
March following. It provides that
the Senate of the United States
shall assemble regularly every four
years, on March 4th, and if there is
no vice president living to be sworn
in, on that day, then the Senate
shall elect a PRESIDENT pro tempore,
who shall by virtue of his Office be-
come president.
Mr.. Jenkins has given much study
to this question, and as there is no
provision for presidential succession
in the event of the death of the
President and vice president who
have been elected by the people, his
amendment will be considered On
the question of an an polygamy
constitutional amendment, Mr..
Jenkins thinks there is no need Of
that, as each state prohibits poly
gamy, as it does other effenses.

GENERAL Michael Griffin, of Eau
Claire, ex-Congressman from the
ninth district, and one of the best
known Republicans in the state,
died suddenly in his office last
Thursday. The death of General
Griffin removes one of the ablest and
most notable of men from public life,
and all who have known him cannot
help but feel that they have suffered
personal loss.

Saw cIeopatr..

About two hundred people in Canon
and Florence took advantage of the
excursion to Pueblo last Thursday
night to see the production of Cleo
patra' at the Grand Opera House.
Blanch Walsh was the star Of the
evening. 1t is doubtful if the major
ity Of the people who went down
from the two towns have ever seen =
better play and . finer display of
stage scenery than was exhibited that
night Everybody seemed to be well
pleased. The great crowds that take
advantage Of these excursions to
Pueblo, show how the people would
appreciate sn opera house in Canon
if we had one that was a credit to
the town.
One point about these Pueblo theat-
ricol excursions people should re-
member--get your theatre tickets in
Canon before going down Some
have waited till they get in Pueblo
before getting tickets and they are
nearly always disappointed, for the
best seats are always then taken.
The Grand has several good plays
booked for March, and certainly one
and perhaps two excursion trains will
BE- run. On the train = lady was
heard to remark that she intended
to save her theatre money for the
next Pueblo excursion for she would
rather see one play at the Grand
Opera House than dozen such plays
as come to Canon. There are = good
many people like that lady.
