your committee recommend the in
sertion of the following item, which
would be figured in the total of Terri
torial expenses:
New fire-proof building for pres
ervation of government archives
$4,000
Your committee further recommends
the increase of the item, page 5. line 49,
School houses and teachers cottages,
Islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai,
s55, ,OOO, to $50, 900, which is the estimate
of the Superintendent of Public In
struction. to include the reconstruction
of Lahainaluna seminary.
This would bring the appropriations
under the bill to the sum of 81 400. 900,
approximately. which amount your
committee feel can safely be borrowed
under the loan act. as the assessed val
uations are estimated at s12S. 100000.
your committee finds the appropria-
tions in the bill for the various coun-
ties 10 be as follows:

IN THE HOUSE.

The House began active business
with the reception from the Senate of
the announcement of the passage by
that body OF the six months salary ap-
preparation bill, which measure was
taken up and passed on first reading.
The Committee on Public Lands re-
ported on the petition of Isaac Noar
for compensation for property taken,
the majority recommending that the
land taken be paid for at the rate of
$50 a foot instead of 81. as prayed.
This would mean s1.465.5O. Messrs.
Gandan and Kalama recommended that
the petition be sent to the Judiciary
Committee for an opinion.
Kalana said that there was a grave
question involved. the original owner
being a Chinese, who never presented
A claim for betterments, the claim now
coming in from another purchaser, a
later purchaser. Chfningworth sup
ported this with his view that there
was a grave question whether mere
transfer Of title gave a purchaser the
right to sue. which question must be
s2ecided before action could be taken.
Sfhe House adopted the minority report
and the Judiciary Committee will now
struggle with the question.
The Special Committee on the Loan
Bill then reported on the measure sub
raitted TO them, the report being put
on the table for consideration with the
bill.
FOR THE LOAN BILL
The report strikes out the first sec
tion. which reaffirms the right to issue
bonds. and makes the Introductory
section simply a statement of the ap-

out and that for the high lift pump
contract. $1,000. was ordered cut out

The date set for the removal of the
paupers row on the payroll of the city to
the new poor farm is still month off
but the rumblings of the royal row
exodus takes place are already begin
ming to be heard. Efforts are being
made in certain quarters, backed, it is
said, by some of the aldermen, to have
certain favored individuals exempted
from the general order requiring all
who are dependent on the city for full
support to take up quarters at the
farm. The taxpayers will hardly look
with favor on any plan to discriminate
in favor of anybody, and it is hardly
possible that any of the aldermen are
going to be mixed up in any deal of
son for such action than is now appar
ant to the general public. All should
be treated exactly alike, and if any if
the paupers who are now being sup
ported by the city are forced to go,
there is no good reason why all should
not go. There is good reason to be
lieye that if the paupers supported by
the city are all required to live at the
poor-house that the list will be smaller
than it is at present. There is a sus-
picion, to say the least, that the rela-
tives Of some of the people who are
now being maintained at the city's
expense will turn in and help support
them rather than see them go to the
poor. house, aud if this is the case it is
exactly what they should be made to
do. The city bought this farm with
the object of decreasing the expense
of caring for the dependent poor and
if it is to be made paying investment
all outside expenses should be cut
down as much as possible.

Makers OF Statistics at GAINESVILLE
Show That Kenosha Has Lowest
Rate OF Taxation in State
ASSESSMENT HIGH IN PROPORTION
Further Statistics Show That KenOshs
Pays More Salary to It's Mayor Than
Other Cities of Its Size

The city statistican of the city OF
GAINESVILLE has during the last few days
prepared some figures which will be OF
a great deal of interest to residents
and taxpayers of the second and third
class cities in the State, and these
figures will show pretty well just what
proportion of the taxes the cities in
the State are paying.
According to the figures Kenosha is
credited with having the lowest rate
per thousand in. the State, rate of Sic
per Thousand, but an examination of
the assessed valuations for the differ.
ent cities will show that Kenosha is
paying her full share of the taxes, and
that this city has perhaps fairer val
Eation than any other city in the State.
Superior people have been talking a
great deal in regard to their taxes and
the high rates being charged, It will
be noted that the assessed valuation of
the property in Superior is but So ,OOO,.
900 more than the valuation of Keno
sha, and yet Superior claims to have
three times as many people as this
city.
The tables showing the assessed
valuation of the cities, together with
the amount that each city is paying
per thousand, is as follows:

Now that the street railway corn-
pany has made out and published
schedule prospective passengers can
figure out just when aud where they
can catch car. On a system the size
of the one in Kenosha it ought to be
possible for the company to run cars
very nearly on time and barring un-
avoidable accidents, there will be no
excuse in the future for the exasperat-
ing delays and misunderstanding Of
routes and running time which have
so annoyed the people for the past two
weeks. Notwithstanding the entire
ack of system in the operation of the
1iue the cars have been very generally
used by all classes of people the past
two weeks, and the business of the
company will increase as the summer
advances, There is every reason to
believe that the line will prove a pay
ing proposition and it is to be hoped
that the management will see fit to
devote some of the revenues of the
company to the purchase of new roll
ing stock. The cars now uuuing will
do very we'll as a makeshift, but any
others that may be put on to accom-
modate the increased traffic should be
new ones built especially for the Ke-
Nosha line.

If you stop long enough at the ferry
you will get over at last. The primary
bill will soon be settled one way or the
other. It will then be in order to bestow
some attention upon ''good roads, !"
which are about as much needed in
Wisconsin as in any place in the new
world. There could be no more oppor-
tune time. The country is prosperous
and can better bear the expense now
than at some future time when condi-
tons might not be so favorable. There
need not be much difficulty in getting
the matter started. What has been
done in other States can be done here.
Let the practice of paying highway
taxes in labor be abolished and let both
State and county assist and the thing
is done.-Eau Claire Leader.

THERE is no demand for this law.
1t is a scheme. The only place where
it works we'll and satisfactory is in the
south where the poor man has no
rights. 1t will deprive the poor but
honest in Wisconsin of ever seeking
any official position. It is a measure
that will work to the advantage Of
rich and unscrupulous politicians. By
all means enact it into law, as we'll as
all the other measures that come from
the administration. Let us have re-
form, and the people will take care of
the reformers. There is nothing but
hypocricy about this hue and cry for
reform. The people will soon see that
and will act accordingly. 1t is no rea-
son why this wave of sham reform
which now envelopes Wisconsin should
have any other ending than it had in
Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Colo
rado and Michigan.-Me Advocate.

If SOME one of our philanthropists
through the ages and have future
generations of boys rise up and call
him blessed he can fulfil his desires
by setting aside tract of land large
enough for playground for the boys
and young men of the city. A place
where the boys can enjoy themselves
without annoying their elders and
where there is no danger of damaging
private property has been long felt
want in Kenosha. The new play
ground OF the Y. M. C. A. on the
orphan asylum property does not fill
the bill for that is supposed to be
closed on Sunday, and Sunday is just
the day that a playground is most
needed. A healthy, sound young man
who has been cooped up in an office or
a factory six days IN the week wants to
enjoy himself in the open air on the
seventh, and there ought to be some
place where he can do so. If he goes
to church in the morning he wants an
afternoon of healthy, hearty open air
sport to fit him for the labor of the
coming week. He Graves open air ex-
ercise and is better man IN every way
if he gets it. AS matter Of fact the
class of men that would get the most
benefit out of a public playground
does not trouble the churches. They
put in the time loafng on Main street
and hanging around the saloons. There
is nowhere for them to go and nothing
to do and public playground would
be godsend to them. The expendi.
ture Of a comparatively small sum OF
money would secure land enough for
the purpose and it would be the means
of keeping scores of young men out oil
temptation and decrease the Sunday
business Of the saloons to an appreci.
able extent. No investment of an
eqaal amount would secure such large
returns in health and morals.

STONE or cement walks in this vari-
able climate, even when in the best of
condition are apt to be dangerous, as
many of us who have sat down upon
them with more force than elegance
during the past winter. can feeling1y
testify. Even when every effort is
made to keep them clean there is
always more or less ice upon them and
these slippery spots are hard to see.
With the constant thawing and freez-
ing now going on many of them are
actually unsafe. The only damage
suits the city will have to defend as
the result of falls this winter are those
resulting from accidents on cement
walks, and every attempt had been
made to make the walks on which the
accidents happened safe for pedes-
rians. The only walk that is good in
the 81 varieties of climate Kenosha can
how in the course Of year is plain
plank walk with the board laid cross
ways with space enough between them
to allow the water to Drain off.
