bases his judgment on the sentiment, and

OF an election in the least.

MAERTZ SUBMITS REPORT
Report Shows a Decrease of Over One
Million Mortgages are not Assessed

The report which county supervisor
of assessment w. c. Maertz ha, handed
over to the committee of equalization
and assessment shows that in 1908 the
total of taxable property for the county
amounts to 1881, ,032 as compared with
33 964, ,SO5 in 1909 being falling of of
1,123,S73. This decrease is accounted
for by mortgages and money being not
taxed. In the city OF Manitowoc there
is slight increase in real estate while
in 1909 the real estate was valued at
6, 1898, 745 this year it is valued at 6, ,372,-
S91 by Mr.. Maertz being an increase of
of "a, 0S6, but the decrease in personal
property is 80 large as to more than
make up for the slight increase in real-
ty. Thus in 1902 Mr.. Maer.z had g.
1873, 09S Oh the rolls while this year there
is only 1869. 107 being decrease OF
46S,811 and 30 making total decrease
for the city of 894,7 ,725. The only ex-
planation is that the Manitowoc people
have blown in" all their money for
while over half a million Of money
was assessed last year 6, 416 is all that is
left this year. Another fact may be
drawn from this that the taxes are not
at all likely to be any lower than last
year but will tend upward.

time before we can hope to occupy first

began in 1900, when the five million

at the regular session of Congress
Gigantic land frauds ON the Pacific
Coast have been under secret investiga-
ton by the Interior Department for
some time. Such startling rumors have
escaped that Secretary Hitchcock has
promised to make comprehensive
statement in the course of the next few
days The first public development
was the suspension from Office of Asa
B. Thompson, receiver of the United
States Land Office at La Grand, Oregon.

United States Senator Mitchell and
Representative Williamson, both repub-
licans from Ore e;on, who recommended
Thomsons appointment. 1t is known
that Secretary Hitchcocks feeling
toward these men has been very bitter
since the investigation started. Many
government officials and members of
Congress are believed to be implicated in
these land frauds and startling revela-

According to the annual report of
Commissioner General Frank Sargent
of the Bureau of immigration there has
been large increase in immigration

Austria Hungary furnished over 2O6, 600.
From the Oriental countries came near
ly 10000 Japanese and over 1000
Chinese 1856, 867 of the immigrants
could neither read nor write. The
total amonnt of money brought

COUNTY LOSES TAX CASES
Railway Companies Cannot Be Taxed For
Local Improvements

In a decision which has just been
handed down by Judge Kirwin in Cir
cult court it is held that railway COM
panies cannot be taxed for local i'm
provemepts, seweres in the city, and
other work from which the community
benefits. The opinion is given in the
case wherein the Chicago & North -Wes-
tern Railway Company contested the
attempt of the city to force
a special assessment for city improve
ments against property which is owned
and occupied by the Company. The
refusal of the Company to pay the as
sessment from the year 1898 to 1909 in
elusive, resulted in the tax being report
ed to the county treasurer with the city's
delinquent tax and the property being
advertised for sale. An injunction was
secured by the Company to restrain the
sale and the case was argued in the
Circuit court with the result above
mentioned. About $4,000 was involved
and the city Is able to collect only about
$35, this being the charges for shoveling
of snow from the property by the city
employees which the court holds is q
legal charge.
The last Legislature, however, adop-
ted a measure which makes the tax
valid in the future and it can he as
sessed and collected. The law ls in
Chapter 426 and provides that railway
property can be taxed for local i'm
provements the same as the property of
of the individual owner
Although the decision rendered in
this case of the Chicago & North-wes-
tern Co. only, it will apply in the case
of the Wisconsin Central Co. also and
the city loses the special tax assessed
against both roads in the years 1896
1902.
