STANFORD. Wis, April 3, 1902
VIM WATERHoUsE,
County Supervisor of Assessment,
Wausau, Wis.
DEAR SIR:-The farmers of the town
of Cleveland wish to call your attention
to the officers elected by the X Conner
Co. at our town meeting. No doubt
you are aware of the petition sent by
the farmers of this toWn To the State
tax commission last winter The r.
Common Co. has again elected it's full
town ticket. Robert Common, chair
man; the head sawyer who has worked
for the company ever since it started in
this town, for side supervisor; and
farmer that has been employed by the
company for the last three or four
years and who is a faithful servant OF
the iirm, fills the place of the other SUI
pervisor. The town clerk is re- lected
and has been in the employ of tie com
pany for several years past; the assessor
is another of the firms workmen who
has been in the employ Of the company
for the last ten years. Every one of
those officers (if the assessment is left
to them) will have to do the work of the
town as the r. Conner Company wishes,
so the tax payers believe, and they co
rot see but little value in any property
but improved farms and such other
property as is not owned by the r. Con-
nor Company. We expect no fair
ness unless you make bold
stand for right and we looking to you
to do so. The farmers have no rights
in this town, only to pay the unjust
taxes voted on them by men who pay
no taxes.
At our town meeting, all motions
made by farmers were voted down.
Please hand this letter to the PmoT
publication. We think it can do no
harm to let the people OF Marathon
county know how we are used.
Respectfully,
Ed. HAYES,
Stanford, Wis

LABOR IS LEAVING
FARMERS IN LURCH
Great Dem q nd for Labor In the
Cities Leads Farm Hands to
Break Their Contracts.

There is great deal of complaint
among farmers that they are not able
to secure farm hands for the coming
season Of activity in agriculture. The
trouble is that the demand for men
in the manufacturing centers has at
tracted the men from the farms, as
they are able to get much better wages
than the farmer can afford to pay.
Some farm hands that had con-
tracted to wor through the winter and
the following season have revoked the
contracts and have sought and secured
work in Canton and other cities The
farmers sons and even their daughters
have been attracted to the cities and
1t looks now as though the farmers
would have to go 1t alone the coming
season or pay very high prices for
their help.
Many of the men who have farms
are planning to plant extensively of
grain. potatoes and other products, as
farming along these lines has become
profitable for the first time in num-
Der of years; but if there is such a
scarcity of labor these plans may be.

ing their doings, and In Stark and
other counties the proceedings OF the
board are not always obtainable II
has been observed that where the
greatest amount of business was done
behind closed doors, the scandals in
the conduct of the infrmaries have
correspondingly increased. AS the
county commissioners must act finally
on most of the business done by the
infirmary directors, and are by law
compelled to more strictly account to
the people, many look upon the iinilr-
mary board as a useless expense and
unfortunately, in many counties, a
positive evil. So the bill will have
some warm supporters when 1t comes
up for passage. It will be direct
saving in counties where commission
ers are on salaries, such as in Stark
county.
